+1!!

This woman was simply another case of "I am going to use my child as an excuse to not do my job". I am just tired of it. I do not know how many times I have been called in, asked to work late and gone on unscheduled missions because of a single mother who could not get her shit together. Then there are the single mothers who bust their asses as hard as everyone else. The sacrifices they make to support their children amaze me. I don't have kids, but I cannot imagine being a single mother. Hats off to all of you out there that are doing the right thing!!

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.
