Hello, hello, hello...

Hi everyone!

Sorry that it's been so long since I last posted. I was in the Commons for quite some time during lunch. Anyways, here's today's news:

Today, the governor of Indiana has decided to support keeping the locks open, which could allow the Asian carp to invade the Great Lakes. Indiana opposed this earlier, but the governor thought only of his state as the closing of the locks would flood some areas in Indiana. That shouldn't be an excuse to save yourself while other Great Lakes states, especially Michigan, suffer.

In other news, Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died after falling of his sled at high speed and running into a pole. Chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation were given to him but they pronounced him dead. How tragic and just before the Olympics. So sad...

Well, that's it for today. Have a good weekend.
¡Adios!

Relaxation...NOT!!!

Hello everyone!

Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I was busy all of last week. I still have an outside book report for English that I need to get done, but that won't take me long. Here's today's news:

You all remember the attempted Christmas Day bombing, right? Well, the perpetrator, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was pleaded not guilty in federal court. It's ridiculous because he tried to blow up a plane with a potentially dangerous weapon of mass destruction. The story goes on to say that he was not on any alcohol or drugs and he said little in court. What they should have done is have him given to the military for interrogation and what his links are to al-Qaeda.

In other news, President Barack Obama has decided to side with his home state of Illinois in the lawsuit against allowing the locks and waterways leading into the Great Lakes to be closed and allow Asian carp to invade the Great Lakes. I think that he is very oblivious to the fact that the Asian carp will destroy billions of dollars in economic and tourist activity. It's completely ridiculous!

Well, that's the news for this week and I probably won't post for a while so have a good week!

¡Adios!
