  • When moms have the freedom

    I am so happy my husband supports my desition of staying with my child at home. I just couldn't leave him in childcare. I tried 3 different center after I actually visited like 15. It was just so devastating. I came home to cry all evening for leaving my child with who know who... We couldn't afford for me not to make money, we need my income. But ...

  • what mommies do

    Lots of moms who have decided to stay home because they just can't leave their babies in daycare, either because they find the separation too hard or because after having to pay childcare fees and gas they don't really bring much money home, they are doing GPT sites from home. I am one of them. No, I didn't believe in those sites at first. My ...

  • Let's get on with it

    Both are electable. Both are relatively centrist Democrats who flirted with more progressive Democratic policies in their younger days. There is little difference between them in terms of what they would do as President, and either would be a great improvement over the current Republican sucking bog we have sunk into. They differ in identity ...

  • Subventions for the Hajj?

    This was an interesting article but the last part of the conclusion was ridiculus, especially from an economic point of view. What kind of returns does an ''investment'' by the US taxpayer have that makes more Pakistani go to Mekka in comparision with the support for secular womens groups or for better rural infrastructure? What about the moral ...

  • re: Accepting his fate by Chadwick Martin

    I couldn't disagree more with this article about John Edwards. The most glaring issue with it is the writer's proud glibness with regard to poverty. Matlin makes Edwards out to be some sort of a vote-whore, trotting around the country begging for support and using poverty as a ploy. Newsflash: any politician will tell you that the way to win ...

  • Re: Hillary

    What these self serving Obama supporters fail to see about Florida and Michigan not being counted, is that angry primary voters in those states may either stay home in November or vote for John McCain. They are fine with that so long as Obama gets the nomination. The DNC are morons, it is the voters who will say this loud and clear as they vote ...

  • Re: are you nuts

    The sad thing about it is how media allows any negative Obama issues like ''phrase borrowing'' and countless other things, to go by without proper coverage. Media wants to see ''this generation's JFK'' elected. Period. Who cares about poverty, healthcare, women's issues, experience, Rev. Wright, the ''typical white person'' remark... His ...

  • Re: Hillery 's Rocky song

    I agree, this has been a rigged deck from the beginning. Obama stutters and stammers his way through many early debates and big media is silent, Hillary in the PA debate only says she understood where former NY Gov. Spitzer was coming from concerning illegal immigrant driver's licenses and all media came down on her! Obama will do nothing for ...

  • Edwards a victim of circumstance.

    The tone of this article, I feel, misreads the feelings of voters who either abandoned Edwards in Iowa and other states, or did not even give him proper consideration. Everything we see from most media has been Obama Obama and more Obama. Sure Edwards got coverage as has Clinton, but the real heart of coverage has been Obama. I cannot back this ...
