After being away for 6 weeks, my thoughts on Iraq war.Majority of Americans are against war in Iraq, now that they know that there was no WMD or ALQUEDA connection.Bush administration did not mention any other reasons other than supporting DEMOCRACY. This part of the WORLD is sitting on OIL BARREL and the only exit is STRAIGHT OF HORMOZ. The one who Controls this -MINES or other devises would stop world oil supply. Geographic feature of this AREA is mind boggling. Every American should go to GOOGLE MAP look at this stragic area- an aewrial view. All our Prewsidential candidates have ignored it- blaming all other things. The TRUCK workers are planning to stop the price RISE. Any country or groups can make us JUMP or DANCE at their WILL with OIL in their pockets. HOW NOW AMERICA. STARK REALITY WE ALL HAVE TO FACE WHEN A NEW PRESIDENT ASSUMES OFFICE in 2009.

i am interested in knowing if anyone has experienced a mortgage company sending someone to there home to close the property up only to find out that the company that was in the home broke in and stole personal belongings.

About a month ago you did a story on the Hoois family assistance dog that is a companion assistance dog for their child. I attempted to blog on the story but for some reason it did not get through. I attempted to say "The Stafford County folks need an education on Service Dogs and for that matter Therapy Dogs also. For Service dogs they should view http://www.caninecompanions.org/ and for Therapy dogs http://www.deltasociety.org/. I have a Therapy Dog ( they are not trained for individual assistance and thus do not have the skills of a Service Dog,(though mine is learning to read) We have been visiting the Inova Mount Vernon Hospital for over 4 years on their Rehabilitation floor weekly. During the school year (Fairfax) we do a reading program in 7 different classes at 2 different elementary schools (again for over 4 years). We have yet to receive a complaint! Dogs that do this work are required to be cleaned and groomed before any visit. In my case I use a dander remover and deodorizer prior to any visit. The Inova hospitals require all Therapy dogs to be Therapy Dog International(TDI) evaluated to serve in a Therapy dog capacity. Please pass my support to the Hoois family and also inform Stafford authorities that they need to learn and try something new and allow the boy to mainline in school with his service dog." Do you or can you follow up on this story and what the final outcome was? Renee Priore
