Yet Another Palin Case

The renowned Bristol Palin situation is back, this time she is not pregnant. Apparently, according to The Guardian, Bristol and Levi Johnston, father of her child Tripp, are neck to neck about custody... Levi accusing Bristol of denying him his rights to Tripp, Bristol accusing Levi of only wanting to "get some" and acrimonious statements made in Vanity Fair merging in the mix. Oh the joys and delights of teenage pregnancy. Johnston and Palin need to stop selfishly thinking about themselves and focus their attention on Tripp, who is certainly going to feel this in the future. If Sarah Palin can not control what happens in her household, how is she suppose to manage a country with millions of teenage pregnancies, poverty, drug and alcohol abuses?

Today 7,000 Americans Lost Their Unemployment Benefits

Apparently their are just too much unemployed Americans that rely on living on unemployment benefits. Over a month after passing the unemployment benefits bill, Senate is still debating on extending benefits. 

Over the last few years unemployment has reached skyrocketing limits, all you have to do is look around you or in the park after dark to know those who suffer from it, each person with a different story but same ending. Thousands of people rely on unemployment benefits and when it backfires they are spiraled into an oblivion. Although finding work is a difficult process, I see too many unemployed people out on the streets rattling plastic cups for coins. The government is trying what they can, now its time for us to do our part and stop rattling and starting striving for the better.

A Step Towards Acceptance: President Obama Promises to Sign Hate Crimes Bill

Hate crimes bill, named after Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr., is promised to be signed and passed by legislation and President Obama unlike the past president, George Bush Jr, who vetoed it. Once the bill is signed, it would be a federal crime to assault anyone because of their sexuality or gender identity. All of this sounds brilliant on paper but how will it play in society? Just because it is there does not necessarily mean that those, who brutally discriminate against others because of who they are, are going to stop their actions.

Save the Polar Bears!!

Because the rapidly decreasing polar bear populations, the Interior Department proposed to reserve more than 200,000 acres of ice, land and water around Alaska for critical habitat. Many officials say that the cause of polar bear extinction is because of global warming. This global climate change doesnt only affect humans but also our furry and not so furry friends.

One More For Public Option

Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, favors and is considering voting on Public Option, a government- run health insurance plan as long as it makes a few alterations. Many Democrats are already pro- Public Option, stating that the plan will lower and hold down costs of health insurance. Reid's vote is essential to the 60 votes needed for approval but can the Republicans beat them to the finish line? Supporters from both parties speculate that the other party will not be able to muster up enough votes.
Why can't Senate work together and make a plan that satisfies the needs of EVERYONE? or at least the majority of.

Stop bickering and start collaborating!

Kidman Against Hollywood

Actress and UN Ambassador, Nicole Kidman, made an appearance before Congress against Hollywood's portrayal of women and accuses Hollywood of contributing to violence against women by making them appear as weak sex objects on the silver screen. She admits that she would refuse to take up any role in Hollywood production that demanded her to stoop below her morals...

"I can't be responsible for all of Hollywood, but I can certainly be responsible for my own career." - Nicole Kidman

but that is controversial considering her past roles in the cinematic industry.

Global Warming Does Not Exist?

According to survey, only 57% of Americans today believe that the world is suffering from global warming. So I suppose the melting of ice in the Arctic Regions and the rise of oceanic temperatures have nothing to do with the warming of the world and are just illusions from our minds. Also according to survey only 36% of Americans believe that human activity is the cause of these environmental changes. How dumb can we be?
