David Letterman's last appearance on "The Late Show" was May 20. We were delighted to see him exit.

In the run-up to the U.S. Supreme Court's oral arguments on same-sex marriage, a popular refrain voiced by its proponents sounded very much like the Beatles song, "Love Is All You Need."

We know that President Obama is infinitely more sensitive to the concerns of Muslims than Christians.
