Happy Thanksgiving- How Much Food and Beverage Do Americans Consume Today?

Thanksgiving is mainly centered around food, family and giving thanks to the priceless treasures we have, life. But how much does America really consume? I found this interesting, statistically speaking.

Party Crashers at White House State Dinner

Wannabe T.V reality stars, uninvited and impundent Washington area socialites Michaele and Tareq Salahi cruise past uptight security and into White House State Dinner Party. Even though they were screened before their intrusion and the President of the United States was not in any immediate danger, the incident leaves the Secret Service in a dubious state. After all, what are the odds of partycrashing the White House in cautious times? How safe is our President really? What if the next time something like this happens and it is not the innocent, attention seeking Salahis? What say you America...

Thirteen Year Old Runaway Goes Undetected for Eleven Days in Subways

Fransisco Hernandez Jr. goes undetected in the subways after fleeing scoldings from home for being problematic in class. It is simply amazing that 13 year old Hernandez Jr. who suffers from Aspergers Syndrome can ride crowed subways and not be noticed or that with all the security cameras and the obvious photographs posted around, it took ELEVEN days to find him. Is the police force really doing all the can to find America's missing children? Can't children have just as much priority as murderers, rapists or drug dealers? After all they hold the future and now is the time when kids need to be protected and found so they don't resort to drugs or any other illegal activities for comfort or attention.

Hippo Gets Mad... Crocodile Suffers

I found this amusing, a hippo attacks a crocodile after the crocodile tries to use its back as a stepping stone. This goes to show, even crocodiles should not dare to mess with the temper of a hippopotamus.

Facebook Fails

Major social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace fail to put in a report abuse button for inappropriate discriminative and sexually explicit content. According to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (Ceop), these sites have no legitimate reasons for not having the new tool and critisizes their apathy towards taking up the FREE SERVICE. Is there some hid alternative motive or are they, as in the social networking sites, too pressured by the encumbrance of caring? Facebook and MySpace are suppose to be enjoyable places that old friends can be reunited and new friends made in a secure environment, not places that permits intolerant behavior and sexual harrassment.

Former Miss California's Juvenile Behavior on Larry King Live

I found this both immature and funny. Carrie Prejean, former Miss California, defiantly takes off her mike during Larry King Live because of his "inappropriate" prying to the reasons why she settled with her dispute with pageant organization. Her childish behavior does not only suggest that her settlement did not comply with her said morals but also suggests that her character is not as flattering as it is suppose to be. Isn't the US tired of having this type of immaturity representing the country and states?

US. Citizens Held in Captivity...Again.

Three US citizens are being held in captivity by the Iranian government after being caught trekking the Iraqi- Iranian mountains on charges of espionage. Two things really come into mind here. One: What are US citizens, no matter how adventurous and daredevil they are feeling, doing marching around what is suppose is considered "enemy territory" during these troubling times? And two: Is it really safe to explore any part of Iran or Iraq without the fear of being captured, charged of espionage and POSSIBLY tortured? This war is affecting our natural instincts to explore outside of the realms of the United States...

The Fort Hood Catastrophe: Phychiatrist Gone Mad

After thorough investigation, it was concluded that Fort Hood attack was not a terrorist plot but that won't make this horrific event any less horrifying.  It has been speculated by federal officials that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused, acted out from emotional, ideological and religious issues that circulated his life. 13 people were killed that day. 

The Case of the Baby Snatchers

East of Mexico City lies a small private hospital that once in a blue moon... STEALS SOMEONE'S BABY! A gang of doctors and nurses trick patients into believing that problems were experienced during conception and the new born died, but when the truth was that they were selling off the babies without parental consent and keeping the earnings to themselves. This is absurd. How can someone find it OKAY to strip a mother from the joys and delights of motherhood?
