Which makes it tough when the sun does come out and is reflected in the road, practically blinding...

Ever wish you had a permanent scapegoat laying around somewhere, ready to absorb blame for all sorts of weird things? That sure would come in handy. Just ask this guy. His name is Eric Woerth, he's the French Budget Minister, and he is not, as they say, amused. It seems like there was a bit of a kerfuffle in Paris that has him fuming mad. An internet marketing company decided to stage a promotional...

Reporting live from the Berlin Wall NBC's Tom Brokaw, on Monday's "Today" show, never once mentioned Ronald Reagan's name and his role in helping to end the Cold War, but did find time to praise Mikhail Gorbachev and "Today" co-anchor Matt Lauer even wondered if it was "a little egocentric" to look at the fall of the Wall as an "American victory," as seen in...

A taste of the French Countryside, and its ever changing landscape, views captured from the TGV train. If you are planning a visit to France consider hopping the TGV (The French high speed, bullet train.) from Paris to Marseille for an overnighter or two. Imagine breathing in three hours of French country landscapes. The TGV runs around the clock, and has sleeping berths as well. To take such a journey...
