It should come as no surprise that the highly dysfunctional U.S. Senate was unable to reach a compromise on the so-called “Student Loan Bill”. Although most lawmakers in both parties agree that extending the low 3.4% rate on federally subsided Stafford Loans would be a good thing, the disagreement comes on how the $6.0 billion cost would be funded.

Women as Enemy: A Film About Brutality Toward Our Global Sisters

Hi there!
I just wanted to let you know that I was given a blog award this week (the kind where you get one and then pass it on) and you are one of the two blogs I chose to award it to you in turn!
Please check out today’s post (well, and yesterday’s post too, I just broke all the rules with this thing) and keep up the good work!

Sweet Tamara,
Thank you so much. We actually received this award several months ago, so with your permission, we will re-gift it and send it to several more folks. You, Tamara, were born to write. Someday I would love a signed copy of your first book. How is that for chutzpah!
I am so not surprised you already had one, and of course you have my blessing to “re-gift” it! That’s more in keeping with the spirit of the award anyway
Thank you so much for the kind words and the recommended reading! I’m loving this “community of writers” feeling!
