Kenyan Lady Slaps a Man?

You read it right folks, one of today's articles is about the Kenyan First Lady, slapping an official of high rank on National T.V. First off, I would like to say I personally think that this article is hilarious and worth the time it takes to read it.

The point of an article is to try and talk about a man suing Kenya's First Lady because of the fact that she slapped him. The images were seized and erased and the woman supposedly slapped him because of the man mispronouncing her name. The title says it all folks. Well here it is:

On a more serious non slapping topic, the second article for today is one from an independent site that is worth checking out. The site is called The Drudge Retort and the url is: http://www.drudge.com/

The article is an article discussing the president's recent vetoing of the bill, get this, that would raise the healthcare provided for children. This is the second tome Bush has vetoed this bill which if put in effect would have institued another 35 billion dollars into State's Children Health Insurance program over the next five years and would have helped 10 million kids in poor situations to enroll.

According to Bush this bill would raise taxes on cigarettes, and Oh Know, cigarettes would have cost a couple cents more. In the first form of the bill, Bush also said that it targeted the wrong audience, saying that it was made to help the middle class instead of the children in poverty. Amazingly Bush used the same reasoning to veto this bill as the other version. The difference between the bills, was that in the newer version the health care would only go to children in families with a gross income of 60,000 per 4 or less. According to Bush, the goal of Health care is to move people who don't have health care to private organizations instead of moving others to government organizations.

To me this article just shows how much our conuntries' values have been declining. Just because the president doesn't want to add a couple cents to every cigarette box, millions of kids will go without health care. The program is now only at 5 billion dollars, and will soon fail according to estimates. I think that Bush's vetoing of the bill if the general congress won by a majority, is an uneducated idea, because this is Bush's 7 veto in 7 years.

Well here it is:

The Final article for the day is one I read in the newspaper this morning. It talked about a new energy bill being passed in congress that said that cars had to be higher in the MPG than the standard at the moment. Although I couldn't find this article on line, or find a way to put it on line, I have found an article like it to suffice.

In this article, it talks about the climate talks coming to an end and how the countries involved are in dissent before the talks close. The U.S. is the number one greenhouse gas emmiter and it met with Bali to discuss is cuts in emissions. With disagreements on all sides the talks could end up meaningless. To me these talks are worth the time, becuase it is true as Americans we do release too much greenhouse gas. But we need to go about it the right way, and the way it was done in the talks only left countries in more disagreement.

Here's the article tell me what you think:
