Middle Sister Wine

You're a Rebel Red. Most people have given up trying to tell you what to do.  But because you’re so creative and entertaining, you are forgiven.  And invited to all the best parties.  You question authority.  And authority likes it.  Sometimes you do daring things.  Like putting ice cubes in a glass of wine. Makes sense, it’s a hot day.  Rebel, you deserve some Middle Sister Rebel Red.                            

                                 Here are my results from their quiz - take it yourself!

*can't wait to try Middle Sister Drama Queen Pino Grigio-                        hope I can find it!

HALL OF SHAME- for Liberal Democrats

Officials: CIA program targeted al-Qaida leaders--I don't know about you , but I am not upset about this !  You go CIA!  I am so tired of hearing these liberal Democrats whine about the CIA- I am tired   of hearing the President stand on foreign soil and appologize for America!  Just a thought but if Nancy Pelosi's Family were being held by Terrorists and she was told the CIA was holding somone of interest who probably had info-  I bet she would water board the guy herself- I know I would-Lets be real - it's so easy to say you would not do that when it is someone elses family member at stake.  I find it hard to believe that if the President or his family were captured everything would happen according to the  Army field manual. Don't get me wrong I am not for mistreating prisoners- but if lives are at stake waterboarding and sleep deprevation don't upset me at all-

PLEASE READ AND SIGN_YOUR HEALTH CARE DEPENDS ON THIS

I know you're shocked to hear this ... but members of Congress are planning to keep their gold-plated, taxpayer-funded benefits packages while putting the rest of us into a government health care plan. If this new plan is supposed to be so great, why aren't they going to join it?

What hypocrisy. 

There's even more hypocrisy and outrageous political payoffs in this health care takeover.  Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus wants to tax our health insurance to help pay for the government takeover - but their scheme exempts the unions from the tax increases!  I'm not making this up.

Along with members of Congress and federal employees, union members have the biggest, richest benefits packages in the nation, but they would be exempted from this new tax.

Let Congress know how you feel about a government takeover of health care by signing Americans for Prosperity's "Hands Off My Health Care" petition today.

Today, MoveOn.org is organizing protests at senators' district offices to demand a government-run health insurance plan with the provisions I just described to you.

If you haven't yet signed the petition online, telling Congress to keep their Hands Off My Healthcare, sign now! You can start taking action before you even leave your computer.

We will win this battle to protect our health care - if we fight.   

Sincerely,

Tim Phillips

President, Americans for Prosperity

TEENS IN CRISIS

OUR TEENS ARE IN CRISIS

It is very important to keep the lines of communication open about sex- BE THE ONE to tell them what is acceptable- There is no time to be embarassed- the world is not- and takes every chance it gets to drop seeds in your childs mind.                            'Oral Sex Is the New Goodnight Kiss'By CLAIRE SHIPMAN and COLE KAZDIN                                                                                                      In the documentary, "Oral Sex Is the New Goodnight Kiss," girls as young as 11 years old talk about having sex, going to sex parties and -- in some extreme situations -- crossing into prostitution by exchanging sexual favors for money, clothes or even homework and then still arriving home in time for dinner with the family."Five minutes and I got $100," one girl said. "If I'm going to sleep with them, anyway, because they're good-looking, might as well get paid for it, right?"Another girl talked about being offered $20 to take off her shirt or $100 to do a striptease on a table at a party.The girls are almost always from good homes, but their parents are completely unaware, Azam said."The prettiest girls from the most successful families [are the most at risk]. We're not talking about marginalized girls," she said. "[Parents] don't want to know because they really don't know what to do. I mean, you might be prepared to learn that, at age 12, your daughter has had sex, but what are you supposed to do when your daughter has traded her virginity for $1,000 or a new bag?"
16 and Pregnant? No Big DealBy Sarah Knoploh )
June 15, 2009 - 14:57 ET Some statistics: According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 86 percent of mothers who give birth out-of-wedlock are teenagers. According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, only 40 percent of teenage mothers ever graduate high school; two-thirds of families begun by an unmarried teen mother are poor; and “Virtually all of the increase in child poverty between 1980 and 1996 was related to the increase in nonmarital childbearing.” 
'Condom Cards' Given to Youth to Combat Teen PregnancySaturday, June 06, 2009
Boys as young as 12 are to be issued with condom "credit cards" allowing them to pick up free contraception at football grounds, barber’s shops and scout huts.Condoms will be distributed at places where boys congregate, to spare them the embarrassment of visiting sexual health clinics or GPs’ surgeries or facing a shop assistant at a pharmacist's counter.They will be able to collect the condoms by showing a plastic card issued to them after they have attended a safe-sex lesson, according to new government guidance. Boys who take advantage of the scheme will not have to give their names or answer questions about their sex lives.The Sunday Times-          June 6 2009
