To bad all the newspapers and media couldn’t get together to send a reporter full time into Afghanistan to report on the progress with Vermont’s heroes...our mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends?

To be embedded with our troops...there is a whole new attitude with public transparency...remember Obama going to Dover last week to salute our dead heroes.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Leo

Despite the festivities, something is nagging away at the back of your mind and you won't feel happy until you've done something about it. Do your best to tackle it over the next three weeks while it will benefit from the influence of Mercury backtracking through your sixth house. Your daily routine is filled with an increasing number of details, messages, and information, much of which will be confusing. All you can do is change your attitude to whatever is worrying you.
