People are so busy nowadays, worrying and fearing what's next. STOP! Think about what you can do to help others that don't have it as good as you do. What have you done lately to "Pay-it-forward" like the book "21 Days To Creating Your Dream Life" talks about? Try doing one thing every week, eventually everyday, to change the perceptions of how people view each other - help someone in need, give to your favorite charity, visit a retirement home and talk with some of the residents about life, help a stranger, hug your loved ones and tell them how much you love them, and most of all - don't let fear drive your life, dance with it, and love life. Try living in the moment, you'll be surprised at what happens!

That's pathetic. Did you even hear him speak on any of the news programs or at his father's funeral? I have yet to hear any guy in his age group speak with such eloquence and composure, especially given the circumstances that he was in. Luke has clearly learned everything he knows from his father and if that gives him an edge over some young punk who smoked up his way through college, then so be it.

Get the chip off your shoulder and give credit where credit is due.

I think this is great. I am sure his father is smiling down on him!!

Luke Russert did an outstanding job when he spoke at Tim's funeral last month, and NBC News definitely took note. I think it's a terrific way to honor Tim Russert's legacy by having Luke report live for NBC News & MSNBC at the Democratic Convention in Denver at the end of this month, and then the Republican Convention in Minneapolis in September.

Yes, 12:02, you may be rich but you have no soul.

What an upstanding young man, your dad my be irreplaceable, but he will live on thru you, and I am sure he is smiling upon on you and VERY proud.
