| | myLot Discussions| Ramadan Dinner at the White House: The Guest List | | [b][i] Once again Obama confirms his alliance/allegiance with Islam. The money that this affair will cost could IMO be better spent on feeding out of work AMERICANS rather than sucking/fawning up to Muslim![/i][/b]. Your opinion?
President Obama will host a White House dinner Tuesday night celebrating Ramadan, the Muslim holy month during which the faithful fast from dawn to sunset each day.
Obama will be joined at the dinner by three Cabinet members, five members of Congress, nearly two dozen foreign diplomats, and 33 community leaders. Among the invited diplomats are the Israeli ambassador and the chief of mission for the Palestinian Liberation Organization, as well as the Indian and Pakistani ambassadors to the United States

The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical.

| | This is for women and the people who care about them | | THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL WOMEN, PLEASE RAD IT AND PASS IT ALONGNew study firmly ties hormone use to breast cancerBy MARILYNN MARCHIONE 14 hours agoSAN ANTONIO (AP) — Taking menopause hormones for five years doubles the risk for breast cancer, according to a new analysis of a big federal study that reveals the most dramatic evidence yet of the dangers of these still-popular pills.Even women who took estrogen and progestin pills for as little as a couple of years had a greater chance of getting cancer. And when they stopped taking them, their odds quickly improved, returning to a normal risk level roughly two years after quitting.Collectively, these new findings are likely to end any doubt that the risks outweigh the benefits for most women.It is clear that breast cancer rates plunged in recent years mainly because millions of women quit hormone therapy and fewer newly menopausal women started on it, said the study's leader, Dr. Rowan Chlebowski of Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles."It's an excellent message for women: You can still diminish risk (by quitting), even if you've been on hormones for a long time," said Dr.... | |
| | Only One U.S.President at a Time! | | Once again I watched a TV segment regarding the 3rd (today's) upcoming speech from Pres Elect Obama. There seems to be quite a lot of controversy regarding...... Mr. Co-President? Obama upstages Bush on economy
[b]There may be only one U.S. president at a time, but you wouldn't know it by watching Barack Obama this week.[/b]The Democratic president-elect, who kept a low profile for three weeks after his White House win, has swung into action with a series of economic pronouncements and cabinet selections that have overshadowed President George W. Bush.If financial markets are clamoring for more leadership, Obama got the message."There is a leadership vacuum. If Obama doesn't fill it, more panic will result in (the) short run, and the problem will become greater by the time he officially takes office," said Stephen Wayne, professor of government at Georgetown University.

| | Most mothers don't get enough sleep? | |
Half of US mothers are not getting enough sleep and they believe getting more rest would make them better parents, according to a US study. A nationwide survey of 500 mothers by research firm Braun Research found 54 percent of respondents said they were not getting enough sleep. Full-time working mothers were suffering the most with 59 percent saying they were not getting enough sleep. Half of the working mothers said they were getting six or fewer hours sleep a night. Stay-at-home moms fared better with 48 percent saying they were sleep deficient. The survey found 52 percent of America's mothers believed that getting more sleep would make them better parents and 65 percent said it would make them happier. But even when mothers do get into bed, many lie awake at night with 36 percent obsessing about the next day's tasks, 25 percent stressing about the family's finances and 24 percent worrying about family issues. "Consistently not getting enough sleep and lying awake at night worrying about day-to-day challenges could be a sign of insomnia," said sleep specialist Suzanne Griffin, a clinical psychiatrist from Georgetown University Hospital in Washington.... | |
| | Politics as usual | | Here are some interesting political quotes from people in history. I think these quotes prove that politics has been the same throughout the generations of history. What do you think?'If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.'

And suppose you were a member of Congress....

| | Sick of ignorance on Mylot- Islam and terrorism. | | First off, what´s wrong with you guys. Muslims taking old testament and gospel of Judas to poke at Christians, Christians taking off-context Qranic quotes and hate sites to poke fun at Muslims.Really guys. Relax.Sites like Evilbible, Prophetofdoom, Positiveatheism, SatanicIslam, are NOT trusted sites. If the first thing you do when you read something in a site that already declaers itself to be against some faith is to repost it here, without checking if its true, seriously, something is worng with you.Now on terrorism and Islam, here in Mylot there is a strong and enduring perception, guided by voices such as diverse as Pat Robertson and Osama bin Laden, that dearly wishes to portray Islam as an inherently violent, imperialist religion. There's just one very large problem with that. For the vast majority of worldwide Muslims, its simply not true, as studies continue to show. Not only is it not true for most everyday Muslims, its not true for Muslim leaders either:Worldwide Muslims condemn Al-Qaeda
