Candidate Obama was either exceptionally naive or willfully disingenuous when he vowed to change the way Washington works.

Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, and my fingers wandered idly over the noisy keys. It seemed the harmonious echo from our discordant life. ↗

I've found that I've settled into myself a little bit more in last year and started wearing things that I feel comfortable with and my own style and... I decided to just embrace the person that I am and the look I like, and what I think is pretty. ↗

Women had to deal with the men's response when the women wanted more time out of the home; men now must deal with the women's response as men want more time in. ↗
