CNN — Obama orders U.S. troops to help chase down African ‘army’ leader
Special Forces as military advisers, eh? Sounds an awful lot like how we first got into liberals’ favorite war…Vietnam.
Los Angeles Times — Obama administration scraps program in health reform law
“For 19 months, experts inside and outside government have examined how [the Department of Health and Human Services] might implement a financially sustainable, voluntary and self-financed long-term care insurance program under the law,” [Secretary Kathleen] Sebelius wrote.
“But despite our best analytical efforts, I do not see a viable path forward for CLASS implementation.”

NY Times — House Panel Examines Details of Solyndra Deal
The Energy Department may have made a decision without precedent when it allowed Solyndra, the now bankrupt solar technology company, to restructure its loans so private investors — not the government — would have first call on its assets in case of liquidation, two Treasury Department officials acknowledged Friday before a House subcommittee.

Fox News — Love of Money May Mess Up Your Marriage

[1 Timothy 6:6-10, NIV] But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
