Daddy Dearest
With a tagline that reads, “But what about me?” one can’t help but think that Christopher Jaymes’ “In Memory of My Father” has a little less to do with pained mourning than your average tear-jerker about a dying parent.

This week I was going to write about a comparison of the Palestinian elections to the ABC hit show, “Dancing with the Stars.” Not to trivialize a historical event in our time, but, with all said and done, it was worthy of such comparison. We’ve seen the aftermath and know what to expect.
