You've probably noticed that more and more fast food restaurants are staying open into the wee hours of the morning or not closing at all.

Newt Gingrich says he wants to put a base on the moon by 2020, adding he hopes enough people will move there so they can petition to make it a state.

Singing in front of an audience at church is a lot less intimidating than subjecting yourself to, say, the judges on 'American Idol'. But it still takes guts to stand alone on a stage and belt out a tune, so that's why we have to commend this enthusiastic fellow who sings 'Looking For a City' for his congregation despite having what could be fairly described as a dreadful singing voice.
