Confessions of a Terrible Housewife
A few months ago Democratic strategist and working mom Hilary Rosen said that Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, a stay-at-home mom, "never worked a day in her life." The backlash was immediate. Never worked a day in her life? The woman raised five boys! That's a major accomplishment, nannies or not.
Rosen ought to be darn thankful she didn't say something like that to me. I work hard at homemaking and I will have respect. Recently, when my husband dared to eat my lovingly home-cooked dinner without praising it effusively, I threw the entire roast chicken across the kitchen in a fit of rage. But more on that later.
Bottom line, Rosen's comment touched off yet another round of the Mommy Wars: working moms versus stay-at-home moms. And as always, emotions -- and sometimes chickens -- are flying fast and furious. I've done the mom thing both ways and I'm here to say that being a stay-at-home mom is the hardest job ever.
I went over to the stay-at-home side a few months ago, when I got laid off. No biggie, my husband consoled. We'll get rid of the childcare costs and we'll manage on one paycheck. You'll spend more time with Will (our 6-year-old). You'll cook more (good-bye take-out bills!). You'll take care of the house (good-bye cleaning lady!). What he actually said was, "You'll be a domestic goddess and make our home an oasis of calm and order."
Who knew oasis-building was such a soul-sucking endeavor? Cleaning is beyond boring, of course, but it's more than that -- I don't like doing things I'm not very good at. I'm not a great cook. I'm not crafty. I don't have a green thumb. Entertaining frays my nerves. And my idea of organizing is making sure there are no pizza boxes on the floor. Basically, I just don't have the skill set for this line of work. I miss my office job!
Yes, I'm thrilled to do the school run every day and to be able to spend more than just quality time with Will, but that is one of the few upsides of my new life. I miss working with other adults. I liked having a desk full of papers and memos and spending my days thinking about how to solve office-related problems, no baking required. That's where I excel. As a homemaker, I suck.
It's stressing me out, big-time. "What did you do today?" my husband asks. It's an innocent question, I guess, but I snap: "Why? Do you want me to fill out a time sheet?" (Count to 10. Breathe.) "Oh, you know, I shopped and cleaned and picked Will up from school and took him to tae kwon do and made him do his homework and gave him a bath and fixed his dinner and threatened him about veggies and, well, that's about it. Oh, and I forgot to eat lunch. How was your day?"
Expectations are higher when you're a SAHM. If you are not running on all cylinders -- raising the happiest, most accomplished, nicest kids, feeding them the healthiest, most delicious food, providing the family an oasis to come home to -- then you're a failure. I mean, that's your job. Plus, this new division of labor means I've suddenly become my husband's assistant. "You've really got to get Will's room in order." (Okay, that's fair.) "You've really got to get him to do his homework." (Well, you could help.) "You've really got to get him to bed earlier. (Again, could use some help here. I'm pooped.) "You've really got to put things away!" (I know! Shut up!) And, believe it or not: "You really ought to get a pedicure."
He probably means, "Pamper yourself. You deserve it." But what I hear is: "You really ought to make yourself more attractive for your husband." (Hey, maybe then he'll run away with me -- his secretary.)

ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher and Greens Minister Shane Rattenbury today met to review progress on the Parliamentary Agreement for the 8th Assembly.
The Parliamentary Agreement is a shared agenda to be implemented over the four year term of the government covering all portfolio areas. The Agreement was made in 2012 to formalise the relationship between the ACT Greens and the ACT Labor Party to form Government until the next election in October 2016, when the Agreement expires. The parties remain committed to achieving Agreement items and recommit to citing the Agreement when initiatives are delivered.
The review of progress has shown substantial progress across all areas of the Agreement including draft legislation, funded initiatives and policy development. The majority of items in the Agreement are either completed, or on track and on time, and a substantial number of items received funding in the 2014-15 Budget.
The campaign to allow medicinal cannabis is growing, following from my tabling of a Greens discussion paper and draft legislation last week. You can read my speech here or email my office to let me know your views.
The ACT will be the only jurisdiction to defy the Abbott Government's attempt to remove the role of the Commonwealth from environmental protection, with a Bill tabled yesterday which delivers on the Parliamentary Agreement item to maintain an ongoing approvals role for the Federal Government in environment protection matters.
Disappointingly in the Assembly this fortnight, the old parties passed a Bill making it harder for independents and small parties to get elected.
This is a win for communities across Australia who have demonstrated their abhorrence with George Brandis' proposal to water down the Racial Discrimination Act," said ACT Greens Member for Molonglo, Shane Rattenbury.
"The overwhelming response from the community was a powerful rejection of what was a divisive proposal.
"This is a clear message that Australia does not want to be a country where people have the right to be bigots.
Statement ends
The 5 members in 5 electorates (5X5) model that was passed in the Legislative Assembly today is a poor outcome for democracy, and a wasted opportunity to enhance our electoral system, said ACT Greens Member for Molonglo, Shane Rattenbury.
"While the ACT Greens support an increase in the size of the Legislative Assembly, the 5x5 model benefits only the ALP and the Canberra Liberals while delivering a less democratic Assembly for the people of the ACT," said Mr Rattenbury.
"Five member electorates will raise the quota to get elected, and will make it harder for independents and small parties to get elected, which will mean less diversity and community representation.
ACT Greens Member for Molonglo, Shane Rattenbury, today confirmed that the ACT Government will deliver on the Parliamentary Agreement item to maintain an ongoing approvals role for the Federal Government in environment protection matters.
"It is extremely important that the Federal Government maintains a role in approving proposals within the ACT that may affect matters of national environmental significance," said Mr Rattenbury.
Today I am tabling an exposure draft of legislation that would allow, for the first time, sick and dying people in the ACT to legally access medicinal cannabis as a treatment for their illness.
I am also tabling an accompanying discussion paper, which seeks feedback on the draft legislation from the community, from experts, and from other stakeholders.
The key motivation for taking up this issue, on behalf of the ACT Greens, is one of compassion. People who are ill and dying, or enduring chronic pain or debilitating symptoms, should be able to access appropriate treatments to help alleviate their symptoms.
Cannabis can be one of those appropriate treatments. Its use as a medical treatment is supported by strong medical evidence. This is backed up – as we've no doubt all seen – by strong anecdotal evidence.
Regulation of medicinal cannabis is workable and we already have numerous other jurisdictions around the world we can look to for guidance. The model I have proposed in this exposure draft is based on a model used in Canada for many years, but it is flexible and open to change either now or after an initial period of operation.

Cruise was 1 July 2012 out of Port Canaveral and we stayed at the Residence Inn Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach the night before the cruise. This is a non-descript hotel but it has the perk in that the Hertz car rental return location is on its parking lot. This made drop off a breeze and Hertz provides a complimentary shuttle to the port when you drop off the car! They were very pleasant to deal with and it was a great savings.
The morning we embarked we arrived at the port around 11:30 and were on the ship by 12:00. Lines moved very quickly. Luggage arrived in our rooms around 4 pm but we were allowed in our rooms at 1 pm. As last year, we were first herded into the Windjammer for lunch while we waited for our room. We had 4 people in a balcony room which was a little cramped but we spent very little time in the room for the most part since there was so much to do around the ship. For all intents and purposes, the room on the Freedom was like the room on the Radiance, with the main difference being the shower had glass doors versus a curtain. Our room number was 6330 which was centrally located and the balcony was the first along the hump moving from bow to stern. Storage room was surprisingly abundant even with 4 suitcases.
The Freedom is much larger than the Radiance and it required more walking to get to different places. However, it wasn't too cumbersome and we learned our way around on the first day. Like others have said before me, the elevators tend to have very long waits and you are often better off just taking the stairs (if you can). I would suggest that able-bodied individuals take the stairs all the time and leave the elevators to those who need the assistance. Of course, before reaching this epiphany, we took the elevator a couple of times from floor 3 to 11 and I was able to watch an apparently fit couple get on at 5 and off on 6. That one flight of stairs can be grueling....
The ship was clean but appeared a little worn in some places (compared to the Radiance) which was surprising given the Freedom was recently in dry dock for upgrades. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful ship and I would not hesitate to go on it again.
Our itinerary was the Eastern Caribbean 7-Day. The age demographic tended to be mostly middle-aged couples with children. While it is true we sometimes saw unattended children running around wildly (yes, there was even the random elevator button pushing observed which motivated us to take the stairs even more), most of the time there were no issues.
One nice feature of this ship is the available piano on Deck 14 in Cloud Nine. My son spent an hour or so each evening up there playing. Sometimes the folks next door in Seven Hearts would applaud through the wall -- of course they never tipped! ;-)
The fitness center was truly exceptional and while it was very busy in the am each day, we always were able to get the machines we wanted without a wait.
One of the hidden treasures on this ship is the personal Karaoke room (there are two) in the On Air bar. You can practice your craft in these rooms in private and then perform on stage during the several Karaoke events held during the week. There were thousands of songs to choose from with a search engine based on artist or song title.
Other fun things to do on this ship are open skating in Studio B (they provide skates), 3D movies in the Arcadia, trivia contests (at least two per day), lots of seminars, and demonstrations. There seemed to be a different party every night and according to my 20 year old daughter, the Crypt was a great nightclub to hang out in. She met several people her own age on the boat and they generally hung out together every night.
One word -- Fantastic! The staff were so friendly and helpful the entire trip. Our waiter Frederico and his assistant Deepak worked very hard to accommodate our daughter's allergies and they remembered our beverage choices after just one night. Our steward Setho was not often seen, but he maintained our room extremely well -- he was also very generous with the towel animals each and every night!
A special kudos to Cruise Director, Graham Seymore -- this guy was absolutely hilarious. His stand-up routine, game show hosting, and morning shows were hysterical. Everyone in our family (ages 17 to 50) thought he was a ship highlight.
Last year, we ate most meals in the Windjammer. This year, we ate all dinners in the Main Dining Room. I mentioned the great wait staff above -- this comment is about the food. We are not connoisseurs, but I think it is fair to report that what folks have been saying about the food is true -- it is good but not great. Presentation was always wonderful and there was always at least one desert that stood above the others. However, the MDR fish (regardless of type) was consistently more "fishy" than we prefer. After the first couple nights, we all moved towards non-fish dishes. Windjammer breakfasts were great (the usual foods including excellent lox) and the lunches were very good. We never ate dinner in the Windjammer so we cannot provide any opinion compared to the MDR. One of the main benefits of the MDR over the Windjammer is portion control. Some of us actually managed to lose weight on the cruise and I think avoiding the buffet at dinner was one reason.
The Cafe Promenade provided 24/7 complimentary sandwiches and desserts and was a favorite hangout between activities for our family. Sorrentos was an alternative down the promenade but we thought the pizza was pretty much frozen pizza quality.
A nice surprise was Johnny Rockets ($5 cover) which served great burgers, fries, and rings as well as flavored sodas. We really liked JR and highly recommend it. We also ate steaks from Chops and they were the best we had during the trip.
We were impressed with the on-board entertainment. The production shows were good with talented performers, the ice show was excellent, and the bar entertainers were great. We particularly enjoyed the piano performer in the Schooner Bar and every night the crowd seemed to grow as more folks heard about him. The "Freedom of the Seas Orchestra" was also very good and slightly better than what we saw on the Radiance last year.
There were three stops on this cruise: (1) Coco Cay; (2) St Thomas and (3) St Maarten. None of them were anything to stand up and scream about. That said, we thought Coco Cay and St Maarten were pretty nice but St. Thomas was somewhat dirty. We did the Helmet Dive at Coral World in St. Thomas (booked through RC) and it enjoyable -- the staff there were very professional.
All in all, this was an outstanding cruise vacation that I would highly recommend. Thanks Royal Caribbean for another great time!

If a room has a big window and get a lot of sunlight, would you say the room is "bright" or "light"? I'm looking for the opposite of a "dark room" here.

Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama addressed the nation Tuesday night on the crisis in Syria from the East Room of the White House. Below is reaction and reporting from Capitol Hill and the White House, providing analysis from our correspondents and contributors.
Read more about the president's speech here.
11:06 p.m. ET - Tonight the president "stopped some Democratic bleeding" of votes in Congress, Sen. Graham said. When asked if it would lead to enough votes, he said "maybe." Personally, Graham said he "likes the president," but also said he'll "continue to trash him."
11:04 p.m. ET - Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham on CNN said the president has "painted himself in a corner," adding that if diplomacy he will have to act militarily.
In @cnn poll of speech watchers, 47% say #POTUS made case for strikes, 50% say no. that's a gain for WH, but big doubts in other Qs.—

Does U.S. Have National Interest in Syria? Yes 30% No 65% – @CNN Instant Poll—
Mark Preston (@PrestonCNN) September 11, 2013
10:44 p.m. ET - House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers in a statement said he's "hopeful a diplomatic solution can be reached, however, I am skeptical of any proposal proffered by the Russians and doubt Assad's motives for agreeing to this plan ... the President still urgently needs to develop and execute a coherent strategy to address all of those threats."
10:34 p.m. ET - 6 in 10 Americans who watched the president's speech tonight said they favor his approach, according to CNN's instant poll taken after Obama spoke. Sixty-one percent said they support the president's position in Syria and 37% said they oppose his response. The poll indicated that nearly two-thirds of those who watched the speech think the situation in Syria is likely to be resolved through diplomatic efforts, with 35% disagreeing. Speech-watchers were divided on whether Obama made a convincing case in his speech for U.S. military action in Syria, with 47% saying he did and 50% saying no. Read more here.

Dan Merica (@danmericaCNN) September 11, 2013
10:03 p.m. ET - Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain issued a joint statement saying, "We appreciate the President speaking directly to the American people about the conflict in Syria. We regret, however, that he did not speak more forcefully about the need to increase our military assistance to moderate opposition forces in Syria, such as the Free Syrian Army. We also regret that he did not lay out a clearer plan to test the seriousness of the Russian and Syrian proposal to transfer the Assad regime's chemical weapons to international custody."
10:01 p.m. ET - Reacting to the speech, Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, who met with Vice President Joe Biden yesterday and with the president today on Capitol Hill said, "I don't think the case for military action has been made ... I'm still leaning against the authorization for the use of force that's been presented."
After this impassioned plea I cannot imagine Pres Obama not launching military strike if diplomacy fails, regardless of what Congress does.—
Lindsey Graham (@GrahamBlog) September 11, 2013
You cannot make moral case as the leader of the Free World and then refuse to act if diplomacy fails. #SyriaSpeech—
Lindsey Graham (@GrahamBlog) September 11, 2013
9:58 p.m. ET - Democratic Sen. Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, in a statement said "I believe Congress can best support the goal of a diplomatic solution by approving a resolution that authorizes the use of force if Syria refuses to give up its chemical weapons."
9:54 p.m. ET - Republican Sen. Rand Paul on CNN said he hopes the Russia/diplomatic option works because if we attack, Syria will be more unstable. Paul said the chance al Qaeda gains traction in the region increases if the United States attacks.
Pres. Obama's leadership brought diplomatic solutions back to the table, shows his willingness to exhaust every remedy before use of force.—
Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) September 11, 2013
9:45 p.m. ET - The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a left-leaning advocacy group that has been opposed to military action in Syria, responded to the address saying "public pressure worked."
"The American people knew that diplomacy was a credible and strategic option, and this great news from President Obama will be better for America and his presidency than dropping bombs on Syria," the group said in a statement.
9:43 p.m. ET - Republicans National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus responded to the president's address by saying, "The administration's handling of the U.S. response to Syria has been so haphazard it's disappointed even the president's most ardent supporters."
"This rudderless diplomacy has embarrassed America on the world stage. For a president who campaigned on building American credibility abroad, the lack of leadership coming from the Oval Office is astounding," Priebus added.
POTUS must keep the threat of military action on the table until #Syria gives up its chemical weapons and an int'l team can verify. #peace—

9:15 p.m. ET - Obama asks what kind of world we would live in if we watch a leader violate international law with poison gas and "look the other way."
Obama confirms he's asked Congress to "postpone" a vote while Russia proposal takes its course.—
Jim Acosta (@JimAcostaCNN) September 11, 2013
9:14 p.m. ET - Obama said it's too early to tell if the latest diplomatic efforts will succeed, but there is now the possibility that Syria will be rid of chemical weapons "without force." As part of those efforts, he said he asked Congress to put off any votes on action and will send Kerry to meet with Lavrov this week.
9:13 p.m. ET - "It's true that some of Assad's opponents are extremists. But al Qaeda will only draw strength in a more chaotic Syria if people there see the world doing nothing to prevent innocent civilians from being gassed to death," Obama said.
9:12 p.m. ET - Obama said he agrees the US should not be the world's policeman and said he has a "deeply held preference for peaceful solutions." But the United States "does not do pinpriks."
"Now, some members of Congress have said there's no point in simply doing a pinprick strike in Syria," Obama said. "Let me make something clear: The United States military doesn't do pinpricks. Even a limited strike will send a message to Assad that no other nation can deliver."
Obama: "I have spent 4.5 years trying to end wars-not start them. Our troops are out of Iraq. Our troops are coming home from Afghanistan."—
The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 11, 2013
9:09 p.m. ET – Addressing criticism of a potential strike, including one veteran that wrote to the president saying "this nation is sick and tired of war," Obama said he will "not put American boots on the ground," "not pursue an open ended action" and "not pursue a prolonged air campaign." Instead, it would be a "targeted strike."
9:07 p.m. ET - Obama said he determined the US should respond militarily to Assad to deter future action, degrade his ability and make clear the US will not tolerate their use. "That's my judgment as commander of chief," he said. But as president of the world's oldest constitutional democracy, he also felt it was right to bring the decision to Congress.
9:05 p.m. ET - Obama outlined the evidence that led to the conclusion that Assad used chemical. "These things happened. The facts cannot be denied." Now he said, the question is what the US and the international community is "prepared to do about it."
9:02 p.m. ET - Obama said he resisted calls for military action in Syria "because we cannot solve someone else's civil war through force." But the situation "profoundly changed on August 21st." He said the images were "sickening."
9:01 p.m. ET - Obama, standing in the East Room, says he will talk about Syria tonight "why it matters and where we go from here." over the past 2 years.
Tonight President Obama will hit the reset button on his relationship with his own policies.—

8:19 p.m. ET - @killoughcnn with the @CrossfireCNN highlights: Santorum: The U.S. has no national security interest in Syria
8:05 p.m. ET - @JohnKingCNN reports the president will not lay out a timetable for diplomacy or potential military action in his address tonight, according to a senior administration official involved in the speech process. The administration believes it can't make those calculations until the Kerry-Lavrov meeting Thursday, the initial eye-to-eye test of whether Russia and the Syrians are serious. Any discussion of when to schedule votes, this official said, should wait until the Kerry-Lavrov meeting, "which will give us a sense of what those alternative resolutions should look like."
The president, in his meeting with lawmakers today, said they should not do anything to take the credible military threat off the table.
7:58 p.m. ET - @JessicaYellin: Obama's Syria address, a speechwriter's tall order
7:45 p.m. ET - Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking at the National Constitution Center Tuesday night, said Assad's use of chemical weapons violates a universal norm at the heart of our global order that requires a "response from the international community led by the U.S."
"This debate is good for our Democracy," Clinton said in Philadelphia. "Fervent arguments are the lifeblood of self government."
7:38 p.m. ET - Sen. Manchin on @OutFrontCNN said there is less of a risk now from inaction than there would have been from a U.S. military strike on Syria. The moderate Democratic senator said he has always believed the U.S. should go down a "diplomatic course."
7:30 p.m. ET - @eliselabottcnn reports that when Secretary Kerry meets with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, he will begin to discuss a possible deal on Syria's chemical weapons, according to senior state department officials. Kerry will bring a team of experts with him for the talks, which begin Thursday and are expected to take place in several sessions over two days, the officials said. The officials cautioned the negotiations may not be concluded in Geneva during the first set of talks. The officials said a final deal, whenever it is reached, would then be taken to the United Nations to be enshrined in a Security Council resolution.
7:13 p.m ET - @barbarastarrcnn reports the Defense Department has not yet been involved in the turnover of chemical weapons by Syria, according to a senior US military official. However, military and civilian experts are informally looking at what they might do.
7:01 p.m. ET - Reports @JimAcostaCNN: In his speech tonight the president will address why the situation in Syria is in the US' national interests, why it is in the US' interests that Syrian President Assad be be held accountable for the use of chemical weapons, that the military response would be limited in duration and scope and that the White House sees a "diplomatic opportunity" in the recent Russian proposal for Syria to rid itself of its chemical weapons.
6:49 p.m. ET - @RickSantorum on @CrossfireCNN said the US has no national security interests in Syria. "There's a big difference between action and military action," Santorum said. "I'm for action, I'm just not for a military strike."
6:32 p.m. ET - Former Sen. Joe Lieberman on @CrossfireCNN said he wished the US "were not pausing" in Syria. He said the president made the right decision to draw the red line and was "disappointed when he decided to toss it to Congress."

6:28 p.m. ET - On @CNNSitRoom @jonfavs said Obama will be "firm" tonight in his remarks. "He'll make the case ... be passionate about what's at stake here."
6:25 p.m. ET – @jonfavs, Obama's former speechwriter, told @wolfblitzercnn tonight's speech is "just about ready" and that the president often stays up "very late at night" making corrections himself.
6:23 p.m. ET - @LisaDCNN reports Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, on the Senate floor, said he's canceling the planned the planned briefings for senators Wednesday. "There are too many things moving," the Nevada Democrat said.
6:07 p.m. ET - @deirdrewalshcnn asked Democratic Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, if the president gave a timeline for the diplomatic efforts under consideration. "I don't know he put a specified period on it. He thought it could be fairly short, that it would be obvious. Fairly short period of time where it would be clear whether Russia is going to come through as they said they would, and whether Syria was going to get rid of their chemical weapons." When asked about the timeline at a Google hangout earlier in the day, Secretary of State John Kerry said "it's up to the president."
"Well it's up to the president to how long we wait, I mean the president makes that decision," Kerry said.

5:43 p.m. ET - @JimAcostaCNN reports on the president's meetings with Republican and Democratic senators today: "The President said his administration would spend the days ahead pursuing this diplomatic option with the Russians and our allies at the United Nations. In the meantime, the President said his administration would work with members of Congress on authorizing language," according to a White House official.
5:33 p.m. ET - Sen. Paul told @wolfblitzer "there's a potential" for these negotiations to have an impact on the chemical weapons in Syria, whereas military action would not.
5:29 p.m. ET - On @CNNSitRoom: Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul said one of the reasons diplomatic avenues are now being persued is because "people like me prevented the use of force."

Elise Labott (@eliselabottcnn) September 10, 2013
How about the millions of people in the world that were victims of chemical weapons. How about our chemical weapons. We supplied israel with chemical weapons that killed thousand of Palestinians. We have blood on our hands. Why is it ok for us to use chemical weapons. Why doesn't the rest of the world have the right to attack us then?
He has already told 4 major bold faced lies only 8 minutes in. 1) Syria never agreed to a weapons ban. So it is not against international law. 2) Iran can pursue peaceful use of nuclear weapons. 3) There were no careful deliberations, he opened his mouth without any facts 4) It is not in our national security, because any signatory of the ban cannot use them, so they would not Pursue them.
He is telling more lies faster than I can type.
Obama needs to spend more time protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States. If you want the support of the American people you need to stop spying on us.
KING PINOCCHIO's boot licks stand by, morons wait with baited breath, CNN and RINOs have their rubber approval and praise stamps ready, the other Congressional wimps are awed, Putin laughs and I'm bored. Nothing changes........
So now we will have a speech that tells congress not to vote now, but when they do vote, if he still wants them to later to vote yes. This sounds like a SNL skit.
Obama is a psychopath that needs to be imprisoned for life.
Um...can someone talk about agent orange please?
And he talks and talks and talks and talks and keeps talking...............................................................
The US KNEW for 3 days that Assad was preparing to strike with chemical weapons – and did absolutely nothing. This makes the US government complicit to a war crime and crime against humanity, regardless of who is responsible.
Let big mouth obama and all his fellow war lords go over there and fight all they want. At least from over there we will not have to listen to him lie to our faces endlessly.
The US government is over run with trash and scum.
Very poorly contrived. A blind moron could see tha... Oh wait
One must ask how much of Obama-care is Obama willing to sell out on to continue this unpopular attack? This has more to do with Russia, Snowden, religion and saving face than doing the right thing.
When will our government join the happiest citizens in nations with the most quality of life? These are the least religious nations, and it is no coincidence.
No today,tomorrow or a year from now, what part of no are you not getting Obama
Who is holding Assad accountable for the 1,000 people who were killed?
Sure, let's attack Syria and help the Al Qaeda led rebels.
Assad will use chemical weapons again with either decision. Unless all his weapons are destroyed .... He will respond !
He mentioned not starting a war with Syria. If he strikes with missiles does he not think that Syria or an alli of syria will repsond with a counter strike to Americans then leading us to another strike because of killing American citizens and so on? Isn't this a war?
A compelling speech. Well done.
liberals are so concerned for Syria children while killing thousand of children through abortion.
If as President Obama states this is a civil war and thousands have already perished .... Why is death via chemical weapons more of a crime requiring USA involvement than beheadings, kill shots to the back of the head, and murdering innocents in the fog of a civil war.
We have sufficient challenges here at home needing to be addressed that keeping compounding due to a lack of leadership at many levels. Meanwhile, Russia deserves a thank you for providing the USA a face saving back door out.
No more war. We must stop the madness.
Ari Fleischer should join the Friars Club. Hilarious. I love how people like him say that the current President is "indecisive" or "inconsistent" just because he can actually TAKE IN NEW INFORMATION and CHANGE HIS MIND in light of new facts. Fleischer's boss, a total failure on those counts, is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. And very boring paintings, as well. Obama, granted, is responsible for hundreds of deaths. I'm no fan of drones, the NSA expansion, or the kowtowing to corporations but at least Obama is thinking. Sometimes he's wrong, but he's never just copping out and saying he's doing what Jesus told him to do. He's thinking and working. It's alarming that so many Americans are freaked out about that activity... it does not bode well for our nation's future.
You have our support!
More lies. Where is this "evidence"?
Germans and others are saying it was the rebels...
UN is saying it was a kitchen chem.
UN officials have come out saying it was Obama funded rebels
Sick.joke. if you buy it you are a fool.

Women's Golf Holds Off UC-Irvine for 10th at Minnesota Invitational
Related Links
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Matching their second round total of 317 in Tuesday's third and final round, the Jacksonville University women's golf team did just enough to hold off a challenge from UC-Irvine and walk away with a 10th place finish at the Minnesota Invitational. Jessica Welch shot a 78 in her third round to end as JU's low scorer for the tournament and in a tie for 30th place.
As a team, Jacksonville put together a score of 962 over three rounds to finish ahead of Irvine (963) and Idaho (971). Morgan Matchett and Natalie Schmett each shot 79s on Tuesday for their low rounds of the tournament, and were joined by Sabrina Rumbaugh who shot an 81 to do the same.
Kent State took home the team title with a three-round score of 902, coming in one stroke ahead of Illinois. Hosted by Minnesota at the Minikahda Club, the Golden Gophers finished third with a total of 911.
"It was a great tournament to start the year," said Head Coach Jennifer Borocz. "The competition here was likely the best we'll see all year. It was a decent start for us and now we have a better idea of what we need to work on."
T 30 Jessica Welch 82-77-78 = 237
45 Morgan Matchett 82-81-79 = 242

DCI Big Sky held a special carnival Saturday for the whole family. It's the first annual Big Sky Kaptain Kidney Karnival and a place for everyone from pediatrics to geriatrics to learn about kidney health.
"We really wanted to focus on the family, because kidney disease affects the family," said Danielle Gulbrandson of DCI Big Sky. "It doesn't have to be a scary situation. There's so much that we can do in this day in age with kidney disease that you can make it more family oriented. We have dialysis that you can do at home."
The Kaptain Kidney Karnival informs the whole family about staying healthy and educating them about kidney disease. One in three adults are at risk for kidney disease and every two hours, one person dies waiting for a kidney transplant.
"Kidneys is what cleans the toxins out of your body. Without your kidneys, your toxins build up," said Gilbrandson. "Our purpose here was to make people aware of what you can do to prevent kidney disease."
Different healthcare organizations came together for the Kaptain Kidney Karnival to provide medical education including blood pressure checks, ways to reduce salt intake, the risk of smoking, and diabetes testing.
More than 382,000 people depend on dialysis for survival, and at the end of 2012, 720 Montanans were on dialysis treatments.

Finding African Burials in the Chesapeake
Africans in the Chesapeake
Finding African Burials in the Chesapeake
African Origins
The Young Woman from Harleigh Knoll
Human remains offer compelling proof that men and women of African ancestry lived and died alongside English colonists during the earliest years of colonial settlement in the Chesapeake.
Though few in number, African skeletons are being identified at 17th-century sites in the Chesapeake. In Virginia, four burials on Jamestown Island and one in Gloucester County that held the remains of persons of African origin have been dated to the 1600s. At St. Mary's City, another recently identified African burial is probably also from the 1600s.
Identifiable Differences
On Jamestown Island after the 1630s, the settlement's cemetery was associated with the church—but three burials lay in drainage ditches. Though the graves were clearly unlike those of English colonists, they were not at first positively identified as African. The bones have confirmed that two African men and one African woman were buried here.
This skeleton (pictured at right) found in a shallow grave was originally identified as Native American, but recent analysis has proved its African descent. The body's placement—on its side, slightly bent—differs from traditional Christian burial.
The other two bodies were extended on their backs, their graves head to head. They were first thought to be slaves, or perhaps Native Americans. Their African identity was confirmed within the past decade, after reassessment of the skeletons with modern methods of analysis.

Normally I would leave these matches alone, but the match just went to the half and Liverpool's youths are up 6-0 at the break.
Raheem Sterling got a hat-trick just after the half-hour mark, and Conor Coady, Stephen Sama, and Adam Morgan have all added set-piece goals (Coady on a penalty, Sama a header off a corner, and Morgan on a header off a free kick just outside the box).
Sterling has been absolutely brilliant to watch. His effort is outstanding, and you can tell he's far more talented and athletic than any Southend defender that's tried to match him. Morgan has been brilliant with his effort up top, occupying defenders and creating space, and to see him get a goal after all the work he put in was great.
Kristjan Adorjan, Jack Robinson, and Suso have also all been notable as well. Adorjan has sent in great set-piece service and has also been great finding his team-mates with space on the attack. Robinson has been dogged on the defense, but he's also been great on the attack from his left-back spot, going on several great runs with the ball and aggressively attacking the box. Suso hasn't had many chances to attack himself from the right wing, but has put in several great crosses and passes.
Southend has fought hard all match, but after Sterling completed his hat-trick, they started to look a little deflated. After Sama and Morgan added their goals, they looked utterly beaten going in to the break. Should be interesting to see how the second half winds up.

Students have often crowded bars and squatted at tables for hours, which cost bars money.
Some Lawrence bars are now charging to reserve a table to see the Jayhawks play during March Madness.
One of those is Henry T's on Sixth Street. This is the second year for a reservation system.
To secure a table, you must agree that a table of four will spend at least $100. A table of six needs to spend at least $150.
Before, students would show up hours in advance and the entire party might not be present. The seat holders wouldn't spend money on food and drink in the hours while waiting.
The lunch crowd can eat and get a seat, but must leave before a certain time.
Jeff Hornberger, manager for Henry T's, explained the policy.
"It's not that hard for four people to spend $100," he said. "I mean, one person can spend $25 on a meal, a couple of beers and a tip. It adds up pretty quick."
The reservation system does bring an older crowd who have more disposable income, but the restaurant still fills up.

First images released of Venezuelan President Chavez since his operation
by Ewan Robertson
Mérida, Feb. 15, 2013, Venezuelanalysis.com – The Venezuelan government has released the first photographs of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez since his cancer operation last Dec. 11.
Chavez had not been directly seen or heard from since his operation, communicating through government ministers and official documents.
Private media outlets, particularly Spanish papers ABC and El País, had been increasingly speculating over the state of Chavez's health, including the publication by El País of a photo purporting to be Chavez undergoing treatment, which turned out to be false.
Official sources have recently shown themselves to be optimistic about Chavez's recovery, while repeating that the Venezuelan president is undergoing "complex and difficult" treatments, after what was his fourth cancer operation in 18 months.
In an official statement released with the photographs, Communication Minister Ernesto Villegas reported that while Chavez had now moved out of the post-operatory phase, "Chavez currently breaths through a tracheal tube, which temporarily makes it difficult for him to speak."
Venezuelanalysis.com has translated the full statement below.
The government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela informs on the evolution of President Hugo Chavez's health, following the surgical intervention undergone in Havana, Cuba, last Dec. 11.
After two months of a complicated post-operatory process, the patient (Chavez) is conscious, with the integrity of his intellectual functions, in close communication with his governmental team and at the head of the fundamental tasks inherent to his position.
As was opportunely informed, the respiratory infection which emerged in the course of the post-operatory treatment was controlled, although a certain grade of (respiratory) insufficiency persists.
Given this circumstance, that is being duly treated, President Chavez is currently breathing through a tracheal tube, which temporarily makes it difficult for him to speak.
The medical team is applying an energetic treatment for the base illness (cancer), which is not exempt from complications.
The patient is cooperating with the treatment and rehabilitation in close coordination with his medical team.
The government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela thanks the Venezuelan people for the love, serenity, maturity and integrity in which they have accompanied President Chavez in this battle and invites them to continue praying for his health.
This year, when the bicentenary of the Admirable Campaign is celebrated, this example-setting attitude of the Venezuelan people confirms that this is about, in effect, the same admirable people who fought with our Liberator Simon Bolivar for the cause of independence.
The Bolivarian government ratifies, likewise, its gratitude towards Fidel Castro and President Raul Castro, to the medical team and the whole Cuban people for the love and care offered to our president.
We trust, together with the Venezuelan people and the other peoples of the world, that President Chavez will overcome, sooner rather than later, these delicate circumstances, to then accompany his people in the path to new victories in the construction of the good homeland.
Long live Chavez!

Firefighters were called out to a county court building in downtown Phoenix Wednesday after white powder was found inside a letter.
Authorities say someone opened the letter on the 4th floor of the building near 3rd Avenue and Jefferson.
Crews cordoned off the area while working to find out who came into contact with the suspicious powder.
"We identified two people that had been exposed. Basically what we do with those people is we wash their hands with hot, soapy water, get that exposure away from them," said Captain Jonathan Jacobs of the Phoenix Fire Department.
"Right now, we don't have a quarantine or anything crazy like that," he added.
Firefighters say a postal inspector is going to examine the substance at a state crime lab to determine whether or not it's harmful.
There's no word on who sent the letter.

Loans are sources of financial assistance that allow you to spread the cost of education over time. Loans are serious legal obligations, and must be repaid. We urge all borrowers to spend some extra time learning about the loan process so that they can make informed choices throughout their education. All first time borrowers at Gloucester County College are required to complete an Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note (MPN). All loan documentation received by Gloucester County College will be submitted to the National Loan Data System (NSLDS), and will be accessible by guaranty agencies, lenders, and schools determined to be authorized users of the NSLDS data system.
Once you are no longer enrolled in at least 6 credits in an eligible program, you'll receive a 6-month grace period during which you are not required to make loan payments. You must begin repayment at the end of your grace period. You are required to complete an Exit Counseling upon leaving Gloucester County College.
Federal Direct Education Loans are established and supported by the federal government and the Department of Education serves as the lender. Gloucester County College students are eligible to participate in the Federal Direct Loan Program.
There are three programs:
Private/Alternative Loan Programs have grown in popularity in recent years. However, we firmly believe that families should exhaust their eligibility for all federal loan programs before turning to this resource. In almost all cases, Direct Loans will provide the consumer with more beneficial terms and conditions, including a lower annual percentage rate charged on the principal and fewer and lower fees.

Springs firefighters saved a woman off a house boat that was sinking into the icy waters of Three Mile Harbor in the early morning hours on Monday.
"It's the kind of call you expect in the summer, not in the middle of winter after a snow storm," Springs Fire Department Chief Ben Miller said.
After firefighters were called to Gardiner's Marina at 4:11 a.m., Miller said they found a woman standing barefoot on the boat's snowy deck. "It was going down real fast," he said of the boat, which estimated between 30 to 35-feet.
The boat, which was tied up to the dock, was titled to the left side, pulling away from the dock. According to an incident report police filed, a man who had been on board with the woman tried to leap from the boat to the dock, but fell into the icy water. He managed to pull himself up to the dock, and then flagged down police.
Firefighters stretched a ladder from the dock to the boat. East Hampton Town Police Officer Denis Shea crawled across it to get to the woman and help bring her to dry land, according to Second Assistant Chief David M. King.
With temperatures at 25 degrees in East Hampton, the woman was taken to Southampton Hospital for possible hypothermia, Miller said. While her current condition was not immediately known, he said she seemed to just need a place to get warm after standing outside for 15 minutes. The man refused medical attention, police said.
The chief said that the snow on the top of the boat after the blizzard may have caused it to take on water. The pair had been asleep when the house boat began taking on water, he believed.
The head of the harbor, as well as water in the marina, was frozen.
A contractor is in the process of removing the boat from the water, according to Marine Patrol Chief Ed Michels.
The fire department, which responded with two engines, the heavy rescue truck, and the ambulance, as well as about 35 firefighters, was back in the firehouse in about 45 minutes.
The East Hampton Townwide Hazmat team, under the supervision of the East Hampton Fire Marshal's office, also responded, to assess the boat for leaking fuel in the frozen harbor. Chief David (Buzzy) Browne was not immediately available for comment.
Miller said he advised Coast Guard Station Montauk of the situation, but because the boat was tied up at the dock, officers did not respond with a vessel.
