Cheat Sheet - Romney: He Still Doesn't Get It

Today: Yahoo's Work-From-Home Ban a Bigger Blow to Men , Syrian Rebels Seize Provincial Capital , Casey Anthony Seen Out in Public
Cheat Sheet: Afternoon

CLUELESS

Nearly four months after he blamed his loss on Obama's 'gifts' to minorities, Romney returned for a Fox interview to prove he's still clueless about why he came up empty on Election Day, says The Daily Beast's Peter Beinart.

OFFICE SPACE

Despite outraged headlines about how Yahoo's new work-from-home ban hurts moms, it has an even bigger effect on men, who are more likely to work from home and care as much as women about having a flexible work schedule, writes Ellen Galinsky at The Daily Beast.

SYRIA

In what could be a major turning point in the two-year-old Syrian conflict, rebel fighters seized the city of Raqqa, a pivotal provincial capital, activist groups reported Monday. Videos show the fighters smashing statues of President Bashar al-Assad's father and even occupying the governor's palace. It's the first complete takeover of a provincial capital by rebel forces, signifying a definitive shift in power and hinting that Assad's forces have lost the ability to retake a large portion of north and eastern Syria.

SPOTTED!

By the reaction to it, you'd think someone spotted Bigfoot or a leprechaun. But the media mayhem was instead focused on Casey Anthony, who seen out in public Monday for the first time since being cleared of murdering her daughter two years ago. Though there have been reports of several sightings, Anthony has largely remained in hiding since being acquitted. She traveled to a Florida courthouse Monday to attend a bankruptcy hearing. The 26-year-old filed for bankruptcy in January, claiming debts of $792,000 and assets of just $1,000. Anthony is currently unemployed, and the expected lucrative paydays for books and tell-alls never materialized.

NATION DIVIDED

More than a dozen people were killed in a predawn attack in Kenya as voters lined up to cast their ballots in a crucial presidential election. Reuters reports that nine police officers in Kenya's restive coastal region were hacked to death by machete-wielding gangs, while six attackers were also killed. Kenya's top politicians are urging millions of voters to avoid mayhem similar to that between the tribal loyalists and rival candidates during the country's 2008 elections.

Trump Backs Diplomat Rodman

If the Donald believes it, then it must be so. After Dennis Rodman's trip to North Korea, Trump told Fox News that the wacky former basketball star was 'sharp and smart' and called Rodman's suggestion that President Obama call Kim Jong-un 'not such a bad idea.'
