If this is from addiction to pain pills, do we need to send Michelle a ship load??
Yes, Mrs. McCain is the perfectly coifed blonde standing dutifully behind the senator during his speeches. And yes, she wears stylish clothing and carries a Prada purse. And it’s true she doesn’t say much. But feminist critics who write her off as a “stand-by-your-man” shrinking violet are selling her short. In many ways, Cindy McCain stacks up sturdier than Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama. And she’d make a more impressive first lady.
Mrs. McCain: More than meets the eye.
While Obama’s wife has been hating America, complaining about the war and undermining our troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, McCain’s wife has been worrying about her sons who actually are fighting or planning to fight in the war on terror. One, in fact, was until a few months ago deployed in Iraq during some of the worst violence.
You don’t hear the McCains talk about it, but their 19-year-old Marine, Jimmy, is preparing for his second tour of duty. Their 21-year-old son, Jack, is poised to graduate from Annapolis and also could join the Marines as a second lieutenant. The couple made the decision not to draw attention to their sons out of respect for other families with sons and daughters in harm’s way.
Cindy also says she doesn’t want to risk falling apart on the campaign trail talking about Jimmy who was so young when he enlisted she had to sign consent forms for his medical tests before he could report for duty and potentially upsetting parents of soldiers who are serving or have been killed.
The McCains want to make sure their boys get no special treatment. Same goes for their five other children, including a daughter they adopted from Bangladesh. During a visit to Mother Teresa’s orphanage there, Cindy noticed a dying baby. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life. So she brought the child home to
America for the surgery she desperately needed. The baby is now their healthy, 16-year-old daughter, Bridget.
Though all seven McCain children including two Sen. McCain adopted from his first marriage are supportive of their father, they prefer their privacy to the glare of the campaign trail. Another daughter, Meghan, 23, helps him behind the scenes.
Cindy McCain not only cherishes her children, but also her country, which in an election year filled with America-bashing, is a refreshing novelty. She seethed when she heard Michelle Obama’s unpatriotic remarks that she only recently grew proud of America. “I am very proud of my country,” Mrs. McCain asserted.
She also may be tougher than the other women in the race. While Hillary thinks she’s come under sniper fire on mission trips abroad, Cindy has actually seen violence. She witnessed a boy get blown up by a mine in Kuwait during a trip with an international group that removes land mines from war-torn countries.
Mrs. McCain also is a hands-on philanthropist. She sits on the board of Operation Smile, which arranges for plastic surgeons to fix cleft palates and other birth defects. She also has helped organize relief missions to Micronesia.
During a scuba-diving vacation to the islands, Mrs. McCain took a friend to a local hospital to have a cut treated. She was shocked, and saddened, by what she saw.
“They opened the door to the OR, where the supplies were, and there were two cats and a whole bunch of rats climbing out of the sterile supplies,” she recalled. “They had no X-ray machine, no beds. To me, it was devastating because it was a U.S. trust territory.”
As soon as she returned home, she arranged for medical equipment and teams of doctors to be sent to treat the island children.
Michelle Obama may contribute to CARE, which fights global poverty and works to empower poor women. Cindy sits on its board.
While the Democrat women talk about helping the poor and needy, Cindy McCain actually rolls up her sleeves and does it. Who’s the out-of-touch elitist?

Wize Guy answers:
Thank you. The Obama people will not appreciate your story, for they are in a trance-like stupor. But McCain supporters will appreciate the info. that futher stregthens their stance.

Exercise 8.1
Using Table 8.21, allocate the indirect costs in the indirect cost pool using total
direct costs as the method or base. What is the total cost, or full cost, of each of the
four programs? Assuming the total outputs (or units of service) remain the same
for the visiting nurse program, the homemaker program, and the home-delivered
meals program and that the specialized transportation program will make 9,000
person trips during the year, what is the cost per output (or unit of service) for each
of the four programs? Assuming that all four programs share the same outcome
measure and that the total number of outcomes (125) remains the same, what is the
cost per outcome?
Exercise 8.2
Using Table 8.21, allocate the indirect costs in the indirect cost pool using salaries
and wages as the method or base. What is the total cost, or full cost, of each of the
four programs? Assuming the total outputs (or units of service) remain the same
for the visiting nurse program, the homemaker program, and the home-delivered

John asks…
how is my zombie survival plan?
now keep in mind i am just 14 and tell me what i did good and what to add. thank you.
I live in suburbs so it is slightly un-populated. I would first get everything I need from my house.
1)Foods that don’t spoil for a long time (caned food).
2)Flash lights and batteries.
3)Possible weapons.
4)Sleeping bag
5)Backpacks ( to carry this and more)
6)Water ( bottles, canteens, hack even plastic containers with tap water)
7)Matches/lighters
8)Duct tape ( can use this for anything)
Then get in a car and drive off to the home depot that is not very far off. Make sure there are absolutely no zombies inside then move in all of my things. This is the perfect location. I would like to see zombies breakthrough those walls. And it has lots of tools and equipment. I would fortify where I need and have a nice easily accessible weapons cache. Across the street is a large target store. I would go in the clear day and go and get tons of food and other materials I would need. (Including TV and games and tons of movies, etc. (you don’t want to get bored and what not.). then set up fridges in the home depot for food. Then I would go over to the dicks sporting goods also across the street (lucky location huh?) and get knives, rifles, and other useful materials and bring it back.
Lastly, I would go over to the doctor’s office that’s about 2 minutes away and get a lot of medical supplies. And that is my zombie survival plan.

Wize Guy answers:
- home depot has PLENTY of duct tape, matches, boards, nails, hammers. you should have a map of the store ready, with entrances marked, basic strategies planned. have plans ready to build some basic weapons (board with nails in them, for example)
- home depot employees may behave like zombies, know how to snap them out of it if they’re human!
- be ready to lead. instead of doing errands and risking a zombie attack on yourself (the man with the plan), ask others to go in groups. first the weapons store.
- be prepared for a power outage. home depot should have gas-powered generators but you WILL need fuel. gas stations have large tanks you can siphon from.
I would also put snipers and lookouts on the roof. You could also cut out some holes near the top of the outside walls, to shoot out of.
Good that you thought of water. If the water supply is at risk, you can fill bathtubs at home depot with water for a long term supply. If it’s a rainy area, you should direct the gutters from the roof into a water cache.
Good luck! I think you will do fine.
