| NEW YORK – Ann Romney won’t be dancing her way to a mirror ball trophy anytime soon. Mitt Romney’s wife turned down a chance to be a contestant on the celebrity dance competition “Dancing With the Stars,” TMZ reported. After “seriously considering” the offer, the website reported Ann decided against appearing on the series. A rep for Romney confirmed to TMZ that the show was interested in the presidential candidate’s wife. "Ann Romney was approached, but she declined. She will not be appearing on ´Dancing with the Stars,´" the rep said. Last season, Ann Romney attended

Comments: That was a very wise move Mrs. Romney. You just know the Mooch would more than love to embarrass us if she was able to appear on that show.

Ann Romney is one class act. She has suffered through illness but I can´t imagine what it was like for her to watch the dishonest media and show biz lefties portray her brilliant and successful spouse as a caricature villian while we have them to thank for reflecting a vicious, inexpericed slime ball. She can find better things to do while this country falls apart deservedly so.

Great lady. I like her the best of just about all political wives.
Too smart to fall for this one. Sharp like her hubby.
Our nation needs Mitt. We just don´t have enough good people left to deserve him anymore. We got what our slugs deserve. An evil predator in the White House. The snake in the hen house, stealing the nest eggs. "Snakes on Air Force One!" Try that title, Hollywood.
Meanwhile... our nation will miss what could have been, Ann... And thank you!

Anne Romney has Multiple Sclerosis. The fact that she walks as well as she does with this disease is something of a miracle. This said, I wonder which idiot working for "Dancing with the Stars" would have asked her to appear, given her condition. Was this some kind of sick joke (on the part of an Obama supporter) or was the person just plain stupid?
And #3 your ´sacred underwear´ comment was just as tasteless. Proud?

Mrs. Romney definitely took the high road on this - what could those people with DWTS been thinking of. When this program first appeared on TV I watched once in a while - don´t think anyone who knows me would call me a prude, but the last time I saw it thought some costumes were way too skimpy and some of the moves much too suggestive.

Re #9, in times past I had a friend who was a marvelous ballroom dancer. He had MS. Because he loved dancing, and it was good for him, the only times he had to give it up were when he was going through a periodic weak spell. Low energy. Those who suffer from MS are not alike when it comes to their physical ability and activity.

Ann Romney is a very classy lady who should be about to move into the White House. Our electorate watches shows like Dancing With the Stars instead of paying attention to what is happening in our capitol and around the world.
I hope she urges her husband to become a spokesman for Truth and to speak up about our still incompetent and naive President who won reelection with lies, distortions, canards and mendacity. America needs someone to be the adult in the room to give our citizens the truth regularly. He needs to have his own show to let Americans know what needs to be done. We do not need Ann Romney acting like a Kardashian trying to be famous for being famous.

The picture of Ann with the article is so beautiful. It makes me even more depressed that she will not be our First Lady. As others here have said, she is a class lady. Mitt would have turned our country around, and with Ann at his side, grace and class would have returned to the WH.
In my bones, I don´t feel that God has finished with Mitt and Ann helping Him to restore our nation. I´m placing my faith in God - he knows better than I do what His plans for us are. God bless you, Ann and Mitt.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
