What is more comforting to the terrorists around the world: the failure to pass the 9/11 legislation because we lacked 'a majority of the majority ' or putting aside partisan politics to enact tough new legislation with America's security foremost in mind?

There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.

I like singer-songwriters and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world.
