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 4

Aries

Be very wary about mixing love and money today, because they could curdle and leave a nasty taste in your mouth. Someone might rip you off, or so it seems to you. And 'seems' is the operative word because, with the Moon in sensitive Cancer, you're very subjective and emotional, strongly influenced by your feelings. There is also a chance that someone you trust is playing fast and loose with your heart, although you won't be certain of that just yet.
