Yes he is. I'm sure that helped a lot when he was teaching special needs kids.

The last of Clay's Field Notes from Somalia. Heartbreaking stuff. The pic of the kids sitting on rocks in their torn apart school

Clay's single is #2 in Indonesian! He is right under The Pussycat Dolls (who the heck really likes their crappy songs anyway )

He needs to tour some of the Asian countries. He is so popular in several of them.

Clay's baby is born!

Wow, seems like we just heard the news that she was pregnant. Congrats to the happy parents! He will be a great father.

Wow, that was fast. I guess she was deep into her pregnancy when the story broke. Congratulations to them!

And China has a big party to celebrate. With every firework in the entire world. Like, literally. I've heard there is an international shortage because China kept them all this year to get ready for the Olympics.

I think is is very cool that Clay has a baby with his dear pal. I bet the kid grows up to rule the world.

p.s. I started a dedicated Olympics thread in the TV and Movies section.

Fireworks indeed!

Congrats to Clay, Jaymes and little Parker Foster Aiken! Great name! Not as good as Apple - but still great! Oops, it's a boy - make that banana

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

He now has what he has wanted so much. He'll be a wonderful father.

I hadn't heard this news - wishing all the best to Clay, his new son, and mama!

Thanks, FC. How cool that Clay is goig to be in Spamlot again!
