C-SPAN Autotune Video!

My dad and I were channel surfing today and came across C-SPAN playing an autotune video of the latest news, making it a thousand times more interesting for people that are usually uninterested in politics. I thought it would be perfect for this blog and I found it extremely entertaining and amusing. Good job to the guys that put it together! HOORAY FOR CREATIVITY!

Poles to honor president with two-minute silence

The president of Poland, Lech Kaczynski, and 96 others, which included his wife and top military officials of Poland, died in an airplane crash during landing in which they were surrounded by heavy fog. There's still not much details to this because the true cause is still unknown, but my dad says that it's because their airplanes are Russian-made and tend to combust easily. Then again, my dad is a conservative Republican that specializes in aeronautics (airplane) engineering so he can be a tad bit biased. I'm just sayin'.

RIP to the Polish authorities, I'm sure Poland can bounce back after this tragedy soon enough. I'll look further into this when more details come out. For the article, click here.

Death toll from Bangkok protests climbs to 20

See, this is what's really disappointing me: How far have we progressed in society, really? Less than twenty are dead but over a thousand are injured. And they want to parade the bodies of the dead killed in massacres like this? It's a small, bloody war for freedom, on both sides. Isn't the irony of it all so quaint? Here, judge for yourself. RIP!

"One of Moscow subway bombers was 17-year-old widow"

Whoa. Don't even have an opinion of my own on this one. Here's the article.

Democratic Representatives getting death threats?!

So, a bunch of Democrats in favor of the newly passed Healthcare reform bill have been receiving death threats from individuals who are in major favor against the new legislation. Well, damn! Crazy how people can feel so strongly in opposition of something that will actually help people. Calmate, all you conservatives!

2 Mexican students slain in a Mexican Army and gang member shoot-out

Two Mexican-American students were slain in a shoot-out between the Mexican army and gang members who were seeking refuge on the students' university campus.

See, stories like these are incredibly sad. You wanna know why? Well these guys, first of all, were extreeemely hard working. Like, studying-until-midnight-every-night kinda thing. Second, they were both on scholarships and were about to graduate. Third, and this I think is the saddest of all three reasons, they devoted their lives to avoiding the drug war battles.

Not only did these guys earned their lives and their futures, but they deserved it. Lives that were savagely and BRUTALLY taken away from them in the midst of their success. It's incredibly devastating, and I send my best wishes out there to everyone affected by this.

In Health Care Bill, Obama Attacks Wealth Inequality

You must've been hiding under a rock if you hadn't noticed the huuuuuge gap in the classes of American society. Well with the health care bill, Obama's directly attacking this issue. By 2013, families making over $1million will be taxed up to $46,000 and Medicaid subsidies will be applicable to those without insurance and make $80,000 or less.

Although this may seem like a good thing (well, more like an extremely bad thing for you conservatives out there), many of our problems are yet to be solved. Hold on to your senses still! The health care reform bill isn't going to solve everything, not yet at least. Because of the wars, huge deficits, the Great Recession, the slowing of education and Global Warming, we're not getting there yet, but maybe slooooowly.
