So, just a mini update to my last post. Apparently during the chapel on Thursday, the speaker spoke even more boldly. Don't know what was said exactly, but people were pretty upset. So much so, that one of the administrators on Friday apologized that things weren't handled better ( Read more... )

So saw this online today from my local news station:

Rep. Clyburn has strong words for Gov. Mark Sanford

Now, I fully support Sanford. As any leader we have in this country, he's done...odd things that makes you go 'eh?' But I'm with him on this whole stimulus crap that's going on.

Here's the quote from Clyburn: "The governor of Louisiana ( Read more... )

Wow, one my Senators has become the first to directly criticize Obama :D

Obama is AWOL

I think he makes a viable point, too, considering how Obama has pretty much been doing what really comes across as campaigning. Dude, you won, so start leading! He keeps touting doom and gloom if he doesn't get his way with this bill and that's just poor

House votes to Postpone Transition to Digital TV

*facepalm* As one quote goes in there: "...people who haven't purchased converter boxes or retrofitted their televisions won't be ready regardless of a new June deadline."

I've long seen CNN and FoxNews as Democrat and Republican news, respectively. There's no such thing as bias-free media anymore and I have a great example here:

House rejects delay on digital signal transition.You read that article and you'd swear that something much be wrong with the people who voted against the delay ( Read more... )

Note: Throwing money at a problem like the economy, doesn't fix it. It didn't work last time, now did it? Well, clearly, Christine, we should throw MORE money at it ( Read more... )

(AKA, the Political Rant)

I really have been into the fire-stirring topics lately. Not that I get much of a response (hey, I ONLY have like, what, 3? 6? friends on LJ? lol).

Anyway, saw this crap just now:

Obama Says: Don't Listen to RushSo, apparently in some silly move to 'unite' the parties, he's telling republicans they shouldn't listen to ( Read more... )

(I swear, I do work on Saturdays...)

Saw this article just now: Russia signs Georgia TruceAnd something struck me about the whole situation. It's no secret Russia holds no love for the U.S., but this is outright mockery. Forget the Middle East, I think Russia is the one to watch - and a good reason to keep China as a friend, as many issues as they ( Read more... )
