Daycare Teacher Fired After Extinguishing Fire At Center .......................................................................................... http://www.freerepublic.com/%5Ehttp://jobs.aol.com/articles/2013/07/23/daycare-teacher-fired-after-extinguishing-fire-at-center/ \| 07/24/2013 \| Dan Fastenberg When Michelle Hammack,a teacher at the Little Temples Childcare facility in Arlington, Fla., smelled smoke and the children were napping, she rushed out of her classroom to investigate. Seeing that chicken nuggets were burning in an oven, she was able to put out the fire before even the fire trucks arrived on the scene, according to a report by WTEV-TV in Jacksonville. Her boss, however, wasn't impressed. On that same day, the owner of the childcare facility Olga Rozhaov fired Hammack. Rozhakov defended her decision to the media. "I fired her only because she left her room," she told the TV station. "It's not acceptable, and if anybody else does the same thing, I will fire again. I will fire them. No question." Hammack, for her part, is taking credit for keeping the kids safe. The fire "probably would have progressed had it not been put out before [the fire trucks arrived]," she told WTEV-TV. She was also able to march her students out of the building to safety. And so, she says, she's being mistreated. "I didn't start the fire. I put it out." She's protested her firing outside the school. Parents have yet to make a comment to the media about her story. (Excerpt) Read more at jobs.aol.com .

Weiner blames latest XXX online scandal on stress with Huma caused by pre-resignation sexting, begs voters for support in open letter July 24, 2013 nypost.com AP Anthony Weiner leaves his apartment today. Serial sexter Anthony Weiner begged supporters to hang with him, telling them today “a rough time” in his marriage prompted him to keep sending sexually explicit words and pictures to women he’s never met. In a letter released this afternoon, Weiner apologized but also seemed to shift blame for his pervy behavior to his marriage to former State Department aide Human Abedin. “Sending these embarrassing messages to women online, whom I never met, was a personal failing that was hurtful to my wife and a part of my life that Huma and I have put behind us,” he wrote. EPA Anthony Weiner yesterday sent wife Huma to new depths of humiliation as he admitted sexting a woman filthy messages and pictures under the name Carlos Danger — a year after he resigned from Congress in disgrace “These things I did, as you have read in the papers, didn't happen once. It was a terrible mistake that I unfortunately returned to during a rough time in our marriage. After a lot of reflection, some professional help, and a general reorientation of my life, Huma has given me a second chance. I will never stop being grateful for that.” The Web site thedirty.com reported yesterday that Weiner had sent a slew of pornographic self-images and lewd writings - under the handle Carlos Danger - to a 22-year-old Indiana woman last summer. 'I HAVE FORGIVEN HIM': PAINED HUMA BACKS HUSBAND, MARRIAGE 3 RIVALS: WEINER MUST PULL OUT JOHN PODHORETZ: EL SEÑOR IS LOCO - LIKE A FOX WEINER ADMITS TO XXX ONLINE CHATS WITH WOMAN FOR 6 MONTHS AFTER RESIGNING FROM CONGRESS In a hastily called press conference yesterday afternoon, Weiner didn’t deny the allegations and vowed to press on with his campaign. “Now, with 47 days left until the primary, some powerful voices are making it clear that they still don't want me to run,” Weiner said in his letter. “Yesterday's news has given them fresh fodder.” AnthonyWeiner sent this full-frontal selfie to an online gal pal while hiding behind the name Carlos Danger, TheDirty.com reports. Weiner gave up his Queens congressional seat in 2011 ago after admitting sexting women across the country. In the build up to this mayoral run, the Carlos Danger candidate had implied his sexting days were done. Now Weiner said he should have disclosed earlier that he kept sending pervy electronic messages, even after resigning his congressional seat in shame. “Before and after announcing my run for Mayor, I repeatedly answered every question about these mistakes,” he said. “I was clear that these relationships took place over an extended period of time with more than one person. I regret not saying explicitly when these exchanges happened. “ Weiner's 'net pal was identified by Buzzfeed.com as “progressive activist” Sydney Leathers of Indiana. As the disgraced congressman left his Park Avenue pad this morning, he told reporters that voters familiar with his record won’t care that he continued to send lewd pictures of himself to women. “People who know me are still going to vote for me,” Weiner said, just before jumping into a car and motoring away. The candidate said he believes voters can evaluate his stance on the issues and ignore his pervy personal life. “There have been people, since the moment I got into this race, who didn’t want me to run,” said Weiner, insisting that his campaign will press on. “You know but a lot of people have been crying out for somebody to talk about issues important to the middle class.”

Critics: Huma Abedin following Clinton plan ....................................................................................... Some have slammed Abedin for potentially using the scandal for her own benefit. \| AP Photo By HADAS GOLD \| 7/24/13 6:06 PM EDT Huma Abedin has critics saying the long-time Hillary Clinton aide might just be taking a page out her boss’s playbook for her own future benefit. While the initial reactions to Abedin standing by her husband and speaking to his character at Tuesday’s press conference included praise and bewilderment, others say her firm stance makes political sense — she’s following the road map and joining the ranks of her long time role model and boss who famously endured a similar experience with former president Bill Clinton, only to come out on top.

And that is someone who might be the next president of the United States, Hillary Clinton,” Brezezinski said. But Abedin was also slammed for potentially using such a disgraceful and personal situation for future political benefit. Political media strategist Adam Weiss slammed Abedin in the New York Post, calling her “power hungry” and coming from the “Clinton school of forgiveness.” ( Also on POLITICO: Weiner accuser: 'A horny, middle-aged man') “They are that power hungry that she stands there and she accepts the absolute disgracefulness of serial cheating from her husband,” Weiss said. “Huma comes from the Clinton school of forgiveness — power is more important than dignity.” Conservative radio host Monica Crowley said on Wednesday it’s clear Abedin is following Clinton. “Her tendency would be to go the Hillary Clinton model,” Crowley said on Fox News. “It is clear that Huma, given her position with Hillary Clinton who is running for president in 2016, that she has a lot of personal ambition of her own. What may be taking place here is shared ambition on the part of both of them to achieve ever higher positions of power and using their marriages to do it.” Fellow conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was slightly more direct, calling Abedin a “doormat”. “Her loyalty is to Hillary Clinton and her role model is Hillary Clinton. Doormats. Doormats with the promise of a payoff later down the road,” Limbaugh said on Wednesday. ( Also on POLITICO: NYC poll: Weiner still ahead) Newsweek contributing editor Eleanor Clift wrote that Abedin might have even taken this plan a step too far. “This strategy worked for the Clintons politically. But after this latest press conference, I’m pretty sure that Abedin has stretched the Hillary mantle past the breaking point,” Clift said. Others said Abedin is the clear winner of the situation, and several called for her to run for office instead of her husband. “Money can’t buy the kind of political boost Huma Abedin is receiving. Like her mentor Hillary Clinton, the stand-by-your-man strategy will be her gateway to widespread popularity and respect,” Thomas Lifson wrote in the blog The American Thinker. “Huma Abedin is better-looking, better spoken, and more appealing than her role model. [Tuesday]’s performance (‘whole lotta therapy’) was superb, establishing Ms. Abedin as dignified, strong, and starting to look as American as apple pie.” Tina Brown tweeted Wednesday “I say Huma for mayor - she has all the qualities he doesn’t.” Whatever her motivation, some including Kirsten Powers, who used to date Weiner, said Wednesday that Abedin has one down side to standing by Weiner: She put her own credibility at risk. “I do think she put her credibility on the line when she came out and did the press conference,” Powers said on Fox News. “Whether she wanted to be there or not, what does it say about a husband who lets his wife do that? It was extremely humiliating.” Several calls for Weiner to drop out of the mayoral race have also used Abedin’s appearance at the press conference as a supporting argument. “Whatever Abedin’s motivations, whether she is drawing on the love she proclaimed for Weiner or speaking out of shared ambition, it is simply wrong for Weiner to exploit a private relationship, about which the public knows nothing, as evidence of his worthiness for public office,” the New York Daily News editorial board wrote.
