Free the Taraz Ten
This story makes me angry:
The website is called “Becky & Jeremy’s Exciting Adoption Adventure,” created by a Haverford couple to capture a once-in-a-lifetime odyssey to bring home a son from Kazakhstan as well as the joys of raising a first child.
But what has happened so far to Becky Compton, Jeremy Meyer, and the 16-month-old they [...]
Obama Admin: Cut Food Stamps to Pay for Race to the Top
The more you read, the more you learn that “hope and change” is a slogan, no different from “the quicker picker upper.”
The fact is, Obama wanted to cut food stamps to pay for Race to the Top, aka “No Child Left Behind” with a different name:

Also, for [...]

My brother called me this afternoon to tell me he’d finally completed resizing some of his recent photos of Sam, which i hope you’ll all enjoy.
