I don’t mean to dismiss the Obama myth, his words, the change we need is real, its just his actions don’t even come close to measuring up. Just read the legal documents he has signed his name to. Read them. His actions are most often the opposite of what he says. I venture to say a 10 year old can recognize that after doing a school day’s worth of research. Obama is a national tragedy. He is a symbol of the times. He is not a leader, just a symbol. He projects the change we need. He was our shortcut to correcting our diseased political system, a way to rid it of corruption. He symbolized the change millions so desperately need. People came out in the millions for the first time “hoping” if they could work and organize to put him in office, we would have some representation to defend against the economic elite that have put the overwhelming majority of US politicians on the payroll and brought humanity to a breaking point. People just need to research how the Obama myth was hatched. Gol...

I was greatly pleased and not surprised to see this in JPost in Sept. 2007. Israel has been a shining light in healthcare advances for many years. I believe that Israel may cure a number of autoimmune diseases within 4 years, including diabetes and M.S. Having been disabled 14 years I barely remember that other person I was. The person who could walk without pain, worked 18 hour days with no trouble and had a life outside her home. My limbic system was damaged 12 years ago and my emotions & decision making was affected by it as well as my whole body functioning. I can't always think straight and the last few weeks - walking has been excruciating. This past couple months I have had such intense pain and it doesn't seem to be letting up. I am frustrated, angry and often deeply depressed. This is a wonderful article and I still pray, every day, that Hashem blesses the medical minds to find relief and even affordable cures for people like me... whose bodies have turned ...

I concur. My late dog was wonderful with my kids when they were babies. They seemed to understand each other in a way I could not. It was beautiful to see. He'd even let me know when one of them was sick or in distress. Of course, exercise a lot of caution and supervise at all times when introducing your new baby to your dog. Always. He is very missed. Babies Can Comprehend 'Canine' Language By Randy Dotinga What's in a bark? A new study suggests that 6-month-old babies know the answer. Researchers found that most infants who were tested could figure out that an aggressive bark goes with an angry-looking dog. They also seemed to know that friendly-looking pooches voice their feelings in a different way. The babies managed to do this even though they weren't very familiar with dogs. It's not clear whether the babies actually know that a dog baring its teeth is a sign of trouble, but they're showing a level of sophistication regarding how dogs reveal thei...

When Kay Day began to take her 12-year-old daughter Rebecca to doctors in South Carolina for a mystery illness, both mother and daughter became very frustrated. Different doctors offered a variety of diagnoses for the girl's recurrent abdominal pain. Some doctors suggested radical treatment options. At least one doctor believed her daughter suffered from depression and needed anti-depressants. Her pain was all "in her head." The family was about to make an unexpected move to Jacksonville, Fla., and even some family members wondered if the middle-school student wasn't just upset about the move. The result of what became a year of turmoil is Day's first nonfiction book, “Killing Earl.” After six months of unsuccessful treatment, Rebecca was on home-bound instruction from her school and had lost 15 pounds. The family couldn't complete their move to Florida until Rebecca was well. Complicating matters was the fact that Rebecca named her pain “Earl.” Fortunately, D...

THE MARX BROTHERS & THE FBI Very interesting reading. Excerpt below. Click the link at the bottom for the whole article! The FBI spied on the Marx Brothers by Margie Burns Way back in the 1990s, it occurred to me that given the tendencies of late FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, the Bureau might well have been intrigued by the Marx Brothers’ last name, so I checked with the FBI and sure enough, it had indeed kept a file on that family comedy team, the Marx Brothers – Groucho, Harpo, Zeppo, Chico – which in due course I received. I still have the dossier. The FBI kept a careful eye on these popular malcontents or subversives from the 1930s into the 1960s. Julius Marx (Groucho), the most articulate and erudite member of the family and the one who most successfully handled the transition from movies to television, has a file of 186 pages. Herbert Marx (Zeppo) has a file of 48 pages, mostly a mimeographed copy of a comedy routine he and Groucho had been accused of stealing. Even Leonard ...
