Hey there folks. I’m a little tired today, but will not use that as an excuse for not posting something (not today anyway). Have you ever had one of those days when everything you look at resembles your comfy bed? That was me today; I barely ate my lunch opting for a 20 minute nap.

Let’s dive in…

Politics           

With 98 days remaining until the election, this is around the time I really start paying attention to the candidates. Things start to heat up and I need know who is saying what (and re-saying it to cover up what was said earlier!) Nevertheless, relax, I don’t get over zealous about it, however I will from time to time make sure you’re tuned in!

If you have been near a television at all during the past couple of days, you’ve heard about Mitt Romney’s disastrous 3 country tour. From insulting the British to praising Israel on their healthcare system, which happens to be socialized – and what President Obama has signed into action (aka Obamacare) (and what Romney and other Republicans have sworn to get rid of) to his Aides totally losing their cool…I would say they need to bring it on in and regroup.

What say you? How do you view his trip overseas? Do you see it as their calling it – a classic photo-op trip? Or do you agree with the majority, the video tape, etc.?

What about Romney’s refusal to release his tax information prior to the two years already provided? The latest…an investor has proclaimed that Mitt Romney did not pay taxes for 10 years (What!!??) Of course, now this accusation is raising more than a few eyebrows and causing some to scratch their temple. Some have begun to ask is this why he is so obstinate about releasing older tax documents because there aren’t any to produce…the plot thickens…

Olympics

Short & sweet: History has been made! M. Phelps has his record breaking 19^th medal today. The Fab-5 grabbed the gold in gymnastics and the Dynamic Duo, May-Treanor and Walsh-Jennings repeat their gold winning on the beach. Medals count top 5: US-23 (9 Gold); China-23 (13 Gold); Japan-13; France-118; South Korea-9. Go TeamUSA!

Wrap up…

Starting tomorrow-Aug. 1^st - Insurance companies are REQUIRED to cover Women's Preventive Health Services such as pap smears, Mammograms and the ever popular birth control just to name a few all without co-pays and deductibles. This is MAJOR!!! This is another phase of Obamacare and one that should be utilized to the fullest. Call your healthcare insurance reps and find out what exactly falls under this umbrella. Ladies, please TAKE ADVANTAGE of this!

‘Til next time!
