The real worry for those of us who played by the rules and are now retired:
10) Owing in our new millennium shall be less stressful than saving. The man with a little money in the bank is more worried that he thereby will be taxed more, earn no interest, or have his small sum expropriated, than the borrower is worried that he will have to pay back the full amount of quite a lot that he borrowed for his mortgage, credit card, or student loan.

This week, 14 noncommissioned officers at Camp Zama took turns wearing the “pregnancy simulators” as they stretched, twisted and exercised during a three-day class that teaches them to serve as fitness instructors for pregnant soldiers and new mothers.
The dirty little secret is that ordinary guys will already feel strong emotions that lead them to protect pregnant women...(which are the "emotions" that Santorum was talking about)...this training is actually about how to better integrate women into combat...

Chaput as Warrior bishop?
