Don't be stupid, Kenneth. Everyone knows very well that she quit because she was inundated with frivolous lawsuits filed by Democrats. Of course, although everyone knows it, Democrats will not admit it. Typical of the hypocritical party.

One of Obama's greatest allies is falling apart. New York Times expects 3Q loss, lower revenue New York Times expects to post a 3rd-qtr loss on a revenue decline of 2 to 3 percent ShareretweetEmailPrintCompanies:The New York Times Company Topics:Earnings Related Quotes Symbol Price Change NYT 7.47 -0.50 {"s" : "nyt","k" : "a00,a50,b00,b60,c10,g00,h00,l10,p20,t10,v00","o" : "","j" : ""} On Wednesday September 22, 2010, 12:18 pm EDT NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Times Co. said Wednesday it expects to show a loss for the third quarter, with newspaper advertising still in decline. Unlike the prior quarter, the Times Co. said that growth in digital ad sales will not make up for declines on the print side. Making matters worse, the company expects a drop in revenue from subscription and newsstand sales. All of which adds urgency to the company's efforts to find greater sources of revenue outside of printed newspapers. Its flagship daily is set to impose fees for accessing material on its website, NYTimes.com, beginning early next year. And the company has been working to expand its audience on mobile gadgets like the iPad, where it also hopes to find both subscription and advertising revenue. The Times Co., which also publishes The Boston Globe, International Herald Tribune and 15 other dailies, expects an overall revenue decline for the third quarter of 2 percent to 3 percent. The revenue outlook implies revenue of $553.5 million to $559.2 million. That is below analysts' average expectation of $563.8 million, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters. Counting severance costs and one-time accounting adjustments, the company said that should lead to a loss of 5 cents to 7 cents per share. Stripping out items, it expects to earn 3 cents to 5 cents, which is roughly in line with analysts' expectations, according to Thomson Reuters. Times Co. shares fell 45 cents, or 5.7 percent, to $7.52 in midday trading. The Times Co. said print advertising revenue will show a decline of about 5 percent from the same quarter a year ago, just slightly better than the 6 percent decline in the second quarter. However, digital ad sales are not growing as quickly as they had. Revenue from the company's Web properties, which include About.com along with its news sites, climbed 14 percent after a 21 percent jump the quarter before. And because last newsstand price hike at the Times and The Boston Globe happened more than a year ago, circulation revenue is likely to show a decline of 5 percent, the company said. finance.yahoo.com

So you have a problem with Sarah having left the Governorship to run with McCain for Vice President? That was the decent and honorable thing to do. Continuing as Governor would have been criticized by you and your friends just as strongly--------saying how could she do two jobs at once. Kenneth, we women have heard your criticisms before------find a new criticism. Sarah Palin made the correct and proper decision when she was tapped to be the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate. JUST A REMINDER------- Mr. Obama effectively quit his seat as the Junior U.S. Senator representing Illinois when he went to Washington. Obama did not come to Washington to vote and participate with the other Senators. Obama came to Washington, forsaking the people of Illinois, as he was never in the U.S. Senate to debate and to vote because he was campaigning for the Democrat nomination. Obama was galavanting around America and the world attempting to get to know America and the world-------an America and world he knew virtually nothing about. As he did so he ran from state to state, insulting Americans as he went and even insulting the Queen of England with his shabby gifts.

Reform's Victims Posted 07:06 PM ET ObamaCare: The first provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act take effect Thursday, and casualties are already piling up. This week's include children who'll have to go without health insurance. The earliest victim of ObamaCare was nHealth, a Virginia-based insurer that specializes in health savings accounts. It announced in June that "considerable uncertainties" created by the new law would force it to close its doors by year-end. The customers and 50 employees of the once-promising startup will have their lives turned inside out by this decision. Now, starting Thursday, any health insurance company offering child-only plans has to accept kids — anyone under 19 — with pre-existing conditions. This mandate has the potential to bankrupt insurers, and big carriers WellPoint, Cigna and CoventryOne, Humana, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Aetna, and Golden Rule have reacted by announcing they'll no longer sell new child-only policies. Some will stop writing the policies at the national level while others will leave markets only in certain states. But it won't stop there. Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger told the Hill newspaper that she guarantees "it's happening probably in every state." Not every insurer will quit the market. But those staying will operate in a less-competitive environment, which will hurt consumers. If parents wait until their kids are seriously ill before buying coverage, as many will, insurers will have no choice but to raise rates on child-only policies to offset the high costs of benefits they'll be paying out. If that option is denied by federal regulators, "then they could be forced to raise rates for adults in the individual market as well," according to Heritage Foundation analyst Kathryn Nix. The White House says it's unhappy. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs complained that insurers are making "decisions on the backs of children and families that need their help," as if they are charities with unlimited funds. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, meanwhile, is treating insurers as criminal enterprises. She's warned there will be "zero tolerance" for those that pass on "misinformation" about ObamaCare and blame it for their "unjustified rate increases." Carriers she deems in violation of her directives "may be excluded from health insurance exchanges," the heavily regulated and mandated insurance networks coming in 2014. Wasn't ObamaCare going to cut costs and expand coverage? Instead, costs will be higher and, while some of the uninsured will finally get coverage, many of the insured will lose theirs. Maybe the first victim of the Democrats' health overhaul was the truth.
