Yes, it is election season, and voting is in order. Teleflora is running a Mother's Day contest.
If your Mom is among the 15 semi-finalists vying for the title of America's Favorite Mom, she will be featured on NBC's Today show during the five days leading up to Mother's Day, May 11.This will give the TV audience the chance to meet a wide range of wonderful Moms, including the Working Mom, the Single Mom, the Military Mom, the Non-Mom and the COE (Chairman Of Everything) Mom. Each day, viewers will cast their votes online.
One woman we've all come to know and love has truly become a mom to an entire military community.
Go see who was nominated by her son, and please vote for her (once per day).
Tired of Pup-o-gate? Tired of primary babble? Tired of a lack of real news from Iraq about real issues? Well, from the NYT to the WSJ to Gen. Petraeus at MNF-I; enjoy the sounds of the coming Spring and have joy in your heart.
...to John McCain.
I was a reluctant (at best) supporter of "the surge" last year, but having lived it it's impossible to deny it worked.
But I don't think that accounts for McCain's success - nor do I think any of the pundits have acknowledged his real strength within his party. The political center has shifted in recent years, and quite obviously, with actual liberals (not to be confused with those Rush Limbaugh calls "libruls") changing sides almost daily throughout the early part of the decade. This is to the consternation of the more conservative edge of the Republican Party - without recognizing they are now in a "big tent" they haven't hesitated to express their dismay...
Meanwhile there's an extremely narrow range of positions on the issues available to any viable national candidate from the other side of the aisle - as some have noticed, there's really no one anywhere to the left of the Democratic frontrunners. While that won't be acknowledged publicly any time soon, this seems to suit the remaining Democrats just fine. (Though now I wonder if Republicans in the remaining primaries will help them pick a winner? )
I'm going to take this postion.
An Abu Graib has happened in every prison on the face of the planet. To be locked in a cage de-humanized both the individual locked in the cage...as well as the person doing the locking.
We live in a society where relatively young people(as well as old) make poor decisions...as does everyone else in the world.
The military..as much as I respect the people who serve...is an authoritarian regime with a centrally planned economy.
I find it unbelievably hypocritical that the same people that criticize the military...support authoritarian regimes with centrally planned economies.
The world is filled with ignorant people who will critcize something while advocating the same thing under a different name.
