George W. Bush: “I congratulate you on being very successful in educating the younger children of your country.”

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.
