The view from your office is quite magnificent.

Your favorite Hollywood star is in the headlines – again.

Every now and then, you catch your cat staring off into space, and you wonder what he’s thinking about.

You didn’t know what to expect.

Years from now, it’ll all seem so sweet.

Ted Cruz's campaign struck back at their favorite target, the media, Friday in response to criticism of the 2016 GOP presidential hopeful and his participation in a November conference hosted by Pastor Kevin Swanson, who has called for the execution of LGBT Americans.

Do you remember? There was a ti, uh, i, ime, when people on the streets, were walking hand in hand in hand? Do you remember these lyrics from Erasure's biggest hit in 1988? Unfortunately there is nothing quite as memorable lyrically on “The Violet Flame,” Erasure's 16th studio album, but that doesn't mean this not a great album.

He's also a staunch advocate for people with disabilities.
