Instead of going for chocolate substitutes, we recommend the real deal. Amy Brightfield of Woman's Day has compiled her favorite chocolate snacks, and she's definitely on the mark.

Today's economy has got parents pressure-strapped financially and mentally and it's leaving us physically exhausted. In many homes across the country, a large percentage of parents are forced to maintain a two-income household (sometimes more unfortunately) just to make ends meet. Unfortunately with the cost of daycare in many major metro areas it's a tough decision to have both parents out of the home because childcare can eat up as much as 75% of middle-American...

Therefore, lying occasionally is not his option. It is a spiritual ritual honored by the Koran’s Allah. Obama lies with a straight face. He lies promptly. He lies on delay. He lies from the Christian pulpit. He lies whenever convenient. This is the first time that America has had an Islamic disciple sitting in the Oval Office. That man is not aligned with the US Constitution. He is a man of the Koran, regarding it as holy writ. faithfreedom.org http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2418441/posts#comment Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:11:40 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2418324/posts James David Manning questions whether or not Obama ever attended Columbia.

It’s about what happened to the American government after "conservatives" gained control of Congress in the 1990s and the White House in 2000. It’s about the disastrous decisions that government made, which have created the enormous problems we face now. It’s about the corruption that rotted the Congress. It’s about how traditional conservatism has nearly been destroyed by authoritarianism. It’s about how the “Religious Right” teamed up with amoral authoritarian leaders to push its un-democratic agenda onto the country.

Often, people, tired of the status quo, do not have the patience to examine the nature of the proposed change. All they want is change. “During 1979, when the Iranians were tired of the dictatorial regime of the late Shah, they embraced Khomeini, not because they wanted Islam, but because he promised them change.
