On Monday police went searching for a man that killed four police officer. Before the shooting Maurice threaten police that he was going to kill them. Authorities were summoned to the Leschi area about 8:45 p.m. Sunday after a tip that Clemmons was dropped off in the area. The police blocked off the streets and had neighbors lock their doors. The police also made an alert the the University of Washington on edge.Clemmons was given a 95-year prison sentence.
This is what our world has came too having killers on the run. It's pretty scary thing to think about. It's funny/sad to think about that the cops were killed in a coffee shop.

David Hasselhoff hospitalized

Hasselhoff was hospitalized for two days. his attorney Mel Goldsman would not disclose the nature of his illness. His ex wife was put into jail for a DUI and was released and taken home by one of her friends. I believe that he was taking pills and they didn't mix well. I think i heard that happened befor to him. I'm so tired of all ways hearing about hot shot celebertys going to the hospital or going to jail.

Scores arrested in wildlife poaching raids

More than 2 tons of ivory has been seized and more than 100 people arrested in an international operation targeting wildlife crime in eastern Africa, Interpol announced Monday.Shops and markets in the six countries were inspected and raided, resulting in the seizure of ivory, weapons and ammunition and the confiscation of vehicles.
This is just weird for me because i really don't know anything about Poaching. If the law states no poaching then no poaching the people that got arrested deserves it.

With failing record, Weis did the unthinkable: He became likeable

Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis was fired on Monday after compiling a mediocre 35-27 record in five years. He was paid alot of money for the little games he and his team won. Coach Charlie Weis didn't play for Notre Dame but went to school there. His life was falling apart he was the most made fun of man in football.

Weis always blamed himself first. He did not complain that Notre Dame fans were living in the 1940s or that the academic standards at the school were too high.

I really don't know anything about football or coaching so i don't have a opinon. If it was a good choice to fire him well i hope they did the right thing and the next coach will help win games.

Missing boy spent 11 days wandering New York subways

A 13-year-old teenager with Asperger's syndrome spent 11 days in October wandering New York's vast subway system until a police officer recognized him from a missing persons' poster, according to police and the youth's mother.The mother said that she contacted police when her son went missing, but received little help. Asperger's, a developmental disorder that affects the ability to socialize and communicate.

I believe that if a child has some kind of a disorder the parents should have more security on there kids than any other kids. When they new this child was missing don't they put out a amber alert? why wasn't it announced. The police department need to be held accountable for this one.
But I'm glad he was found

Issue #1 Comprehensive vs.Incremental Health Care Reform

President Bush's health care reform proposal has intensified the current debate over whether the U.S. health care system requires incremental or comprehensive reform. But some analysts say that those terms are merely political instruments in a much broader debate on U.S. social policy. Supporters of providing universal health care argue that the best way to ensure access to medical care is overhaul the financing of the nation's health care system.They think that decades of government funded provided programs like Medicare and Medicaid have contributed to the increased costs of medical care. Many of the supporters for the universal health care say that the government could become a single purchaser, acting on behalf of all patients. Another proposal for comprehensive reform relies on mandating government subsidies in which the poor receive tax credits or money that enables them to purchase insurance.Critics of comprehensive reform do not oppose the idea of health care for all. Changes such as enhancing tax-free Health Savings Accounts and offering tax deductions for people who buy their own health insurance. By making consumers pay greater shares of health care insurance and medical expenses from their own pockets, these policymakers believe that the market will naturally rein in medical costs.


In my opinion i think that the health care is set up to help the elderly people now whats going to happen when my generation gets older? I believe we have a choice to either have it for our self or not. I have noticed that some college kids rather not have health care. They rather wait when their older it is much needed when we are older because we are more liable to get sick. My view on health savings accounts, I don't like the idea. I don't want to be forced to put so much of each of my paychecks into a government account each month. But i no who good it feels to take the opportunity that is invaluable to my family. I'm not sure were i stand with all this yet it really hasn't affected my family. Maybe when I'm older i can understand it more.

Vote shows Obama team must listen up

The president didn't watch the election returns Tuesday night, according to his press secretary, Robert Gibbs. He watched his beloved Chicago Bulls instead. He also would have realized a lot of angry voters are out there who aren't very satisfied with the direction of the country. In a word, Tuesday's election was anti-incumbent. The status quo isn't good enough.I don't believe Tuesday's election was a referendum on President Obama, but it sure was a warning sign that he has to do more then show up in New Jersey and say "I need Gov. Corzine to help me in Washington."

In my opinion when Obama took office there were two big issues, the economy and two wars. He's barely moved the dial on either. In fact unemployment is significantly worse, and Afghanistan under Obama's new strategy set in March has steadily deteriorated. Meanwhile Obama has been distracted trying to please his liberal base by taking on side issues like closing GITMO and health care. However, despite massive majorities in both houses of Congress, his list of achievements on his pet causes is also zip. He couldn't even sweet talk the Olympic Committee to pick Chicago. Obama is within a few months of being completely irrelevant since after the 1st of the year, Congress will be more worried about 2010 elections than Obama's agenda. So much for change.

Smell permeated Cleveland neighborhood where 11 bodies found, residents say

This article is about Eleven bodies have been found inside and outside a home adjacent to Ray's -- six inside and five outside. A skull, wrapped in a paper bag and stuffed into a bucket in the basement, apparently is all that remains of the 11th victim, authorities said Wednesday.The smell permeated the neighborhood, turning the stomachs of residents and curtailing their outdoor activities. The home's inhabitant, Anthony Sowell, 50, is a registered sex offender. Now, Sowell is facing five counts of aggravated murder, rape, felonious assault and kidnapping, police said. A judge on Wednesday denied bond for him, saying the latest allegations against him are "gruesome" and the "most serious" he has heard in his years on the bench.The first victim was identified Wednesday as Tonia Carmichael, who was 52 when she was last seen on November 10, 2008, police said. Carmichael was identified using DNA. She disappeared from Warrensville Heights, a Cleveland suburb near Sowell's home.Seven of the victims died from strangulation by a ligature, said Frank Miller, Cuyahoga County coroner. A ligature can include a string, cord or wire. All seven still had something tied around their necks, Miller told reporters.An eighth victim died from manual strangulation -- strangulation by hands. Two other bodies were too decomposed to determine the cause of death, although Miller said he believes they were victims of "homicidal violence." Autopsy results on the 11th victim are pending.

In my opinion this is a sick man. He should have the death sentence or should spend the rest of his life in jail. There is so much pain in all 11 families. Our probation departments around the nation are not doing there jobs.

Maine rejects same-sex marriage law

This article is about Supporters of Maine's same-sex marriage law, which voters narrowly repealed, gathered Wednesday to concede the vote but not the issue.It seems in the end that Mainers are not ready to treat these families fairly. Mary Bonauto, a lawyer for Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), who lives in Maine with her partner and their two children, said she was disappointed by the vote but she felt "a great deal has been gained through this whole process.There were two main reasons the group wanted to repeal the law, which was signed by Gov. John Baldacci on May 6. There was a religious element wanting to continue to define marriage as between a man and a woman, he said, but the group also felt that the legal inequities in domestic partnerships as compared with marriage could be addressed through lawmaking.

In my opinion who cares if you the same sex and want to get married. I say if you love someone no matter what age,color,sex,religion if you want to marry them do it. There shouldn't be a law telling someone not to get married. I'm very proud of states who approve the same sex marriage if i could vote i vote YES!
