Articals

October 31, 2008

One of the articals from The Smoking Gun was about an McCain supporter who was arested for drunk driving and wereing a ‘beat the shit out of Obama’ shirt.

Another one from The Smoking Gun is about how a duo of kids aperently knocked over a sing and the own of the sing shot three times hitting one of them in the shoulder and breaking the glass of the passanger side window.

The last artical from The Smoking Gun was about two male men (20 and 18) who were planing a killing spreae of African Americans leading up to the major kill of Bracka Obama.

one artical from the DRUDGE REPORT was basically like the rest of them whitch were the diffrences and stuff about the diffrent canadates.

All of the artical are manly just how they are talking smack about the other person they are running up against.

New Cars

October 29, 2008

One of the many articals about newer and more effecshent cars was the hybrid ups truck. The hybrid UPS truck would really help the economy because cars like those are huge gas guzzlers so to limit that woud be a HUGE improvement.

One of the articals was about how they needed a humor type look at the situation so they made the truck a derisal batterie just for kicks.

Another artical was about how there are so many people who have already re-orderd there own hybrid cars from ford. That amazes me they wont be inexpencive and yet people have already wanted to buy them with out even going for a test drive.

I think that is is safe to say that in twenty five years cars will be diffrent. But the only question is how, how will the cars change, what will they look like, how much will gas caost, what can i expect to be paying for these ‘new’ cars? we wont exactly know all of these questions untill twenty five years is up and then it will just be present but one thing we can and have done in the past is predict. So for my educated guess i am thinking that in twenty five years that the price of gas will rise as we stedaly desend in the quantity of this material.

But i think that one thing that is very good about this situation is that ying and yang good and bad, i know that as the prise of gas dose continue to rise we make inventions, discovers and new ideas that are changing the world. We are ‘going green’ we are making the gallon of gas go further and i can see that in the future this is only get better and blue prints will turn into modle that we will see one the road and we will hopefully learn to further balance the carbon foot print and what we give or do to help our enviornment.

Somalia in the news

October 2, 2008

This is a news artical of in Somalia there were three piretes were found inside a ship with hevey artilary and guns

Aid workers whom Somalis depend on are fleeing — driven out by what appears to be an organized terror campaign.

In this artical it is saying how Somalia has higher malnutrition rates, more current bloodshed and many fewer aid workers than Darfur.

As many Somalis teeter on the edge of survival, a famine looms, ministries are not functioning and the transitional government is running out of money that is what this artical is about.

In this artical it is saying how he pirates, who seized a Ukrainian ship last Thursday, initially demanded a $35 million ransom, and now it seems they are willing to settle for much less.

This is showing cause and effect, the effect is the American military tightened the naval noose around an arms-laden freighter because the pirates hijacked the ship.

This is an artical showing how they don’t run by laws. The artical is about an explosion of a large bomb buried in a pile of garbage killed a group of women who were part of a U.N.-sponsored work program, which paid them for cleaning the streets of the capital.

This artical is about how two-thirds of Somalia’s cabinet ministers stepped down Saturday, widening a rift between the president and prime minister.

This is a prime example of why Somalia needs law enforcement, Norwegian police and immigration authorities have raised security at a refugee center following an attack by dozens of men armed with steel rods, knives and other weapons.

Militant Islamist leaders immediately rejected the deal, which had been signed by moderate Islamists and the beleaguered transitional government of Somalia.
