FROM GRIND TO GRACE: Ex-Wing Darren McCarty tries to find himself and ...
"I was in Detroit this summer during the boat races, the hydroplanes in July. And I called Cheryl, and we were talking. It was sort of like the first time I had been in town awhile. I was so miserable and down. I was so disgusted and embarrassed. I couldn't even see my kids. She said to me, 'Don't you think that if you do something, put forth the effort to come out of this, that everybody that loves you won't come back?' "Hearing that coming from her ... I wanted to be accountable. I wanted to be a positive influence in my kids' life now and let them know that their dad loves them and he's there and it's not just talk -- it's action. "So I went home and made a call that I needed to make. I called a friend to go take care of what I needed to take care of: to go away for a while." -- Darren McCarty, Jan.

Sexism, the Women’s Vote and Hillary Clinton’s Foreign Policy
You'll still be in Iraq in five years regardless who is president. And it's all swings and roundabouts. You hate Clinton's foreign policy, which is not that different from Obama's; I hate Obama's domestic policy, which is very different. Clinton wants to fight Republicans for progressive policies; Obama wants to give them a big hug and hope they feel the love enough to allow him to bring in a few small changes. .
