Sometimes a team can do a lot of things right on the basketball court, but if the shot just isn't falling on offense, it becomes very hard to win.

I supported and introduced legislation addressing issues such as child abuse prevention, repeat DUI...
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was buried last week at a small Muslim cemetery in rural Virginia, far away from the massive chaos he created while detonating bombs that disrupted the Boston marathon, killing and dismembering many people.

Still, I'm glad they found a place for him to rest in peace — the kind of peace t...
