Things I Found on the Interwebs (24)

First off, I just need to say that my heart goes out to all of those whose families are affected by the tragedy in Newtown, CT. I can't imagine how those parents must feel right now. To send your child off to kindergarten, what should the happiest, safest place on the planet, and have this happen. It is just terrible. There are no words to describe the pain they must be feeling. So hug your kids a little bit tighter and thank God for them.

This Interwebs post was written before the tragedy, so I'm going to post it up anyway. I hope you aren't offended by that decision.
