This past weeks current events.

Wait if it is this past week how is it current... oh well.... Open your mind its time to learn...

LOCAL:

One of the Highland Scots varsity basketball players was injured in Friday's game against the rebels. This was thought to be a crippling blow to the team because the player was none other than Grant Fulton the 6'5" wonder who not only there just for size the kid has got a crazy good free throw percentage and an excellent fg% he scored 26 points two saturdays ago was ofcourse as i said he was injured in Friday's game only scoring 2 points and was out with a dislocated and chipped knuckle. This kid how ever wasn't going to sit out like other players on other teams he came back with the injury and scored nine points on Saturday if only the rest of the team had such a 'go getter' attitude we wouldn't be 0 and 3.

STATE

On Last Friday The Indiana Supreme court have denied a request to halt proceedings in a court dispute over the Terre Haute mayoral elections. Republican mayor-elect Duke Bennett's attorney had asked the court to intervene after Vigo Superior Court Judge David Bolk ordered a recount and scheduled a hearing on a challenge to the legitimacy of Bennett's candidacy.

TECH

Baking Soda to the rescue??? For the past few month PopularScience has been looking at different things to stop global warming and such and recently they have found that by using the Carbon dioxide emmissions from smoke stacks can make baking soda and the whole system is powered by excess heat off of a factory. If this global warming thing is real... at least we will have baking soda, sounds good to me. http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/11/29/climate.change.soda/index.html

IRAQ/WAR/AFGANISTAN/TERROR

Turkey attacks Kurd rebels in Iraq on saturday. Fifty to Sixty kurdish rebels and they said that they caused "significant losses" the US had no reports of a Turkish incursion. In my opinion its about time that someone besides the US does some thing in Iraq. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/12/01/turkey.kurds.ap/index.html

WORLD

Chavez is a man of many claims he's like a little kid holding his fathers antique very valualbe snowglobe over a ledge and threatening to drop it if he makes him go to bed. Chavez has accused Colombia of working with the US and also said that if anyone tried to oust him he would with hold the oil from the rest of the world but honestly would it be so bad if he didn't give us anymore oil because it would make us more eager to look for alternative fuels.... wait a minute we already have like six different alternative fuels maybe we'll just use them now. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americas/12/01/venezuela.chavez/index.html

BUSINESS

As of November 30th spending and income are down and that is not helping us build a better economy. But it is really hard to build a good economy when all our money is going to big oil outside the US every generation have their huge problems and I believe that ours is getting rid of the oil need and also helping out the starving children in Africa. But its some thing that everyone needs to do and the only thing Americans agree on is the fact that there is nothing that we should agree on.http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/30/news/economy/income_spending/index.htm?postversion=2007113010

In the world of sports, Barry Bonds the home run smashing, 'roid poppin' machine, was indicted on thursday on charges of lying under oath. He is pretty much busted, there was evidence anabolic steriod use amoung the evidence so either he's guilty or someone really hates him and likes to plant evidence. It was no surprise to me when i discovered that he hit all those balls of lies out of the park with his left wing. http://topics.cnn.com/topics/barry_bonds

In the world news, the mythic warming globe gains more hype as of thursday scientist believe that the majority of global warming is coming from power plants and one forth of them are from the power plants just outside town and one fourth of the worlds co2 pollution coming from old glory herself I'm not saying global warming is real but if those nut jobs does a better job of fixing the worlds problems than the United States, just think what would the world do if Vietnam fixed there own problems, we wouldn't have had Forest Gump. That's the kind of world we would live in if those left wing softies had there way.

Glen Beck and His Magical Tattoo

There Once was a man, not just a man, a hero, nay, a legend. A man who's views are UNBIASED, UNFLINCHING, and UNCHANGING over the years.

One Fan had this to say "He's the best thing that has ever happened, ever and he is not biased" He is the best thing ever and he is this weeks HONORABLE MENTION.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Class of 2008

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’08 If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen…
