prom season coverage 
I really like how CNN reporters asked this girl to model her "inappropriate" dress in a playground. Savvy.

OH! GOSH WE JUST FORGOT
A great article about the pentagon's latest oops.
The military simply forgot to bill AIG and other insurance companies to cover the medical costs of private contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. These contractors- who outnumber actual military serving in these two war zones, pay for their own insurance policies and are typically treated at military hospitals already stressed for supplies and crowded by active duty military. And the taxpayer is picking up the bill instead of the insurance company because the military just forgot to bill them! Also- AIG and others have "routinely denied claims to contractors resulting in long delays and depriving injured civilians of basic medical care."

You are totally missing out on MSN's headlines. I found this gem today:
"Women: 5 Ways To Control Your Emotions"
I realize CNN is supposed to be an actual news source, whereas MSN is more of a...homepage, per se, but it still never ceases to amaze.
I apologize for the wealth of links, but I thought you might also want to see these helpful little nuggets geared just for women:
9 Financial Signs of a Cheating Spouse
From the book "Is HE Cheating On You? 829 Telltale Signs". I guess 830 is one too many.
Lastly, Help Your Wife Plan Her Widowhood.
I think someone forgot to tell MSN that 1958 happened uhhhhhhhhh 50 years ago.
MSN is the modern Dexedrine. wretched.
Those financial tips were great, especially unexplained charges for flowers and jewelry you didn't receive could mean infidelity.
Thanks for links. My head hurts- gotta go assign colors to my emotions and nag my boyfriend about his dirty dishes.
