The devastation in Haiti has been just terrible to watch on television. I have to say that I can not in good conscious just give monies to any group that asks. We gave Haiti three billion dollars in the last few years and it was squandered by an inept government and rampant corruption. Hopefully Presidents Bush and Clinton will straighten out the situation.
Martha Coakley and Scott Brown are battling it out for Senator Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. Brown has surprisingly pulled ahead in the race even with President Obama’s support. What urkes me the most is that Obama spent Sunday campaigning when he should have been working on getting Americans found in Haiti.
Watching the Jets and the Colts on Sunday is every New England Patriots fan’s nightmare.
Could there be anything better than the start of a new season of 24? Jack Bauer is absolutely the man. The best show on television period.
A Scott Brown victory on January 19th will bring down Obama’s health care reform bill. The only reason Brown has come from 30 points behind is America’s distaste for the bill. The bill is being rammed down the throats of Americans and it has not tasted good. With the GOP winning governors races in New Jersey and Virginia since the bills passage you would think the democrats would have learned something.
Mark Mcguire admitted to doing steroids this past week. What a major surprise. Mcguire seems like a good man, here is hoping he gets some inner peace.
Glen W. Bell Jr., an entrepreneur best known as the founder of the Taco Bell chain, has died. He was 86. I will just say, “Yo quiero Taco Bell!” I have always thought outside the bun.
The Golden Globe awards were held last night and again “hollyweird” was again out of tune with the American public. This is so getting old. The dresses, the speeches, and the worries about politics will bring the ratings down lower that they already are.
More than 40 years after her family was forced from their home because they were black, Sallie Sanders received the keys to a new house built to settle one of the longest-running cases of housing discrimination in the United States.
"My parents would be ecstatic that their offspring would be able to enjoy the things they couldn't," the 60-year-old Sanders said Monday before a ceremony to celebrate the milestone on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Hamtramck agreed in 1980 to develop 200 family housing units to make up for violating the civil rights of blacks whose neighborhoods were targeted by white officials to make way for urban renewal projects in the 1960s. Good for you Sallie.
