My thoughts and prayers go out to parents separated from their children this Christmas. I’ll never forget this story about Nadia wanting to eat hamburgers under the Christmas tree.

No, it’s not an Onion or Scrappleface headline. Well, it was. But, now it’s for real, except she’s a priest instead of a bishop.

Mark Steyn, describing President Bush’s recent interview with a group of conservative journalists:
