Gwyneth Paltrow ignited a storm by likening her problems as a movie star to the life of a soldier in war. The two jobs have one big difference. If you’re fighting in Afghanistan and you need to take the day off, the director of the Taliban doesn’t agree to shoot around you.
Obama held a meeting on sports concussions with young athletes and parents in the White House East Room. He wants to do everything he can to protect young people from life-threatening injuries. He’s putting them on the waiting list to be seen by the VA.
