| Actor and comedian Chris Rock called President Obama the "dad of the country" as he rallied on Capitol Hill to support his father figure´s call for new gun controls. "I am just here to support the president of the United States," said Mr. Rock, a former "Saturday Night Live" cast member whose most recent acting roles include a voice role in the animated feature "Madagascar 3," a spot in "What to Expect When You´re Expecting" and guest turns on the FX comedy "Louie." "The President of the United States is, you know, our boss.

A perfect example of the go-along-to-get-along ignorant vapidity of the Hollywood crowd. He and Cameron Diaz and Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Redford and Susan Sarandon and Barbra Streisand and Ed Asner and Sean Penn and Whoopi (I know I´m leaving a lot of morons out here) should all go to D.C. to help Obama run the country. As dumb as they are, they couldn´t be any worse than the yo-yos he´s got in D.C. now.

"Our Boss"? I don´t think so! In fact that worthless drug dealing community organizer works for me! I (and millions of other hardworking americans) pay him a princely salary and give him lots of benefits to do his job. He agrees by saying "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." The fact that he´s not should be grounds for impeachment and removal from office.
As far as being a "Dad of the country", Not in any way whatsoever except to his own children. Chris Rock is a nitwit!

Mr. Rock,
There was a time that I admired your wit, your ability to turn a phrase, albeit encrusted with profanity. Sir, you were no Red Skelton, and you certainly were never a Bob Hope, but frankly I held you in comparable esteem to Lenny Bruce and George Carlin. Sir, I say this as a man of your generation, but of opposite political discipline. While I adamently opposed the political objectives of Mssrs. Bruce and Carlin, I respected their craft and the abilities they brought to the stage.
But these comments from you display a complete failure to understand the nature and obective of the American Republic. We the people are accountable to each other, but the government is accountable to us.
Perhaps I am no longer in your targeted demographic. Perhaps your target audience is deficient in its understanding of American governance and you are diluting your thinking to match their delusions. Or perhaps your just got luck in Dogma to be supported by stronger intellects than your own.
Good bye, sir. Good riddance. And may the chains of servitude rest lightly upon you for your remaining years.

I was raised by my married parents. I don´t need no stinkin´ obama as my daddy. Now, since most black kids are born out of wedlock they probably don´t understand what it is like to have your father actually live in your house and who is actually married to your mother. They might have a psychological need for a "daddy". I don´t. Get out of my life and leave me alone. Oh, and by the way, I also don´t need him as my boss and I certainly don´t look to him for guidance. What an a hole chris rock is. Hummm, no wonder he worships obama. obama is an a hole too.

Your not alone, Chris. Lefties throughout the world and throughout history got a hankerin´ for that cult of personality thing, be it Lenin, Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Chavez or Obama. You seem to need that kind of thing, more than, sound policies, principles or logic. And you will overlook and rationalize, any shortcomings they or their regimes may have, no matter how horrific to life and liberty. This existence of mindless daddy-needing sheep like you is actually worse than the leaders you worship. Without you and your ignorant ilk, these tyrants could not attain and maintain power.

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?”

They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air.

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.

A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.

Outraged parents said some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when they were told by a worker for the district´s food service provider they could not eat on Tuesday because they couldn´t pay or their pre-paid accounts were short on funds.
