    RedState’s Erick Erickson tweeted this could be the moment when Mitt Romney lost the election. In an interview of Fox News, Romney Press Secretary Andrea Saul decided to invoke Romneycare as a counterpoint to the despicable narrative being pushed by Priorities USA. I’m sure you’ve seen the infamous ‘cancer ad.’ Business Insider reported on August 8th that: …In defending Romney, she [Saul] veered way off message, explaining that if the steelworker, Joe Soptic, had lived in Massachusetts, he and his wife would have been able to get health insurance under Romney’s health-care reform legislation.Here’s what she told Fox anchor Bill...

    Sylvie Deslongchamps is dying of cervical cancer and wonders if things would have been different if someone had just made a phone call. In early 2007, Deslongchamps, 46, went to Charles-Lemoyne Hospital, in Longeuil Que. for a check-up and Pap smear with her new gynecologist. "I had a little concern," says Deslongchamps. "I have a family history of cervical cancer, which I told him about." Her doctor never called back, so she assumed her tests turned up nothing. But a year and a half later, she began to have uncontrolled bleeding, so she went back to her doctor. "After he...

    Grilled cheese, World War II and fiduciary have one thing in common: if you “Google” them, each prompts a Wikipedia entry as the No. 1 result. Wikipedia is all too convenient, but of what value is it? What good is a stockpile of information if it’s unreliable and often incorrect, as many have said Wikipedia is? Since its launch in 2001, the “The Free Encyclopedia” has grown exponentially, offering a definition (or more) for almost every topic. Last spring the resource reached the 10 million article mark over a spectrum of 20 different languages in its attempt to “summarize all...

    CAPTIVA - The ritzy barrier islands that Hurricane Charley pummeled first before raging across the state appear to have survived far better than their neighbors farther inland. Although damage assessments had yet to be completed for the islands Sunday night, Lee County officials said they were confident that damage could be repaired and the islands could recover their identity as an idyllic vacation getaway. "Nearly all (buildings) had some damage, but it was varying degrees, because these are big homes and well-put-together homes," said Pat O'Rourke, spokeswoman for the Lee County Emergency Operations Center. "It's a matter of the integrity...

    In an effort to reestablish my credit after an ugly divorce and job lay-off, a few years back, I applied and was approved for a VISA. For over 2 years, I made timely payments and never went over my credit limit. Without giving me a reason, in April 2002, the card company notified me that my card would not be renewed after the expiration date, I was instructed to destroy the card, and the balance owed was being transferred to another card company. Two months AFTER closing my account, Gevalia coffee billed my card for an UNauthorized coffee shipment. Rather...
