Missile attack in Pakistan. There were 5 killed in this attack. I'm not a big fan of war. This is one of those things that I look at as too much. If the sent missiles here, we'd be upset. Every life is important in my opinion and to use such destructive weapons isn't fair nor right in any case. According to the article there were 21 missiles launched this month. They suspect those that were killed were militants or those harboring militants, that those often killed are usually civilians.
Hurricane Tomas to hit Haiti. It is regaining power. According to the article, they are vulnerable due to the past damage done to the area. I pray that they are alright.
Polls say that GOP likely to win majority in the House. We can mostly hope for the best, whatever the best is. I just hope whatever happens, our government can find solidarity and make change happen. Democrats aren't the only ones that can carry change but through some agreements on what's best for America, I believe we can see change and improvement in the state of our country. According to the article, major issues this election are unemployment and economy. I am a regular person and don't know what would change what but I think we all should consider who we are putting our trust in and if they know what's best for all of America.
Militants siege church. Four hours, 52 people dead, 120 taken hostage. I just hate extremism... Idk what else to say about this.
Of course, I'll be back later with possibly a new post regarding news.

From the Times Tonight
Halliburton and BP knew all along?! What now after all of this? I'm a bit speechless because this is such a big controversy. Will they be punished further? Is so, what's suitable? I think I should do a bit of research here.
Perry, the governor of Texas, is an ass. Seriously, this is about Texas, what you can do for Texas, not about how Obama's policies have messed up Texas. He's been governor for like 10 years and I feel that if he hasn't perfected things in Texas, he can't in the future. Obama has nothing to do about it. I hate that no one is bringing up Bush in any of this when he kinda helped mess things up. *Shrug* Maybe I'm missing something. I feel that this is very disrespectful to our President. Even if you don't agree with his policies, he is our President. To me, it's unAmerican to disrespect the head of our country.
The Senate races. We did a report on this in class and I think there was a bit of a shift here. Oringinally, Republicans were in the lead but there are now 46 "solid and continuing" seats for Democrats and 35 "solid and continuing" seats for Republicans. I will do more research on this this weekend.
With the House race, Republicans are actually in the lead. BUT there are 109 seats that are leaning one way or in a toss up. Who knows how this one can end? Just pay attention to the news and polls.
The Texas Governor's race. I'm a Texan. Darn proud! These numbers aren't surprising because we are a very red state. According the the Time's numbers, 44% voted for President Barack Obama and 55% for McCain. The Time's predict that Perry has a 92% chance of winning while White only has an 8% chance. I'm nervous! I love Mayor White. I've shaken his hand at a parade and believe he does all he can as mayor and know he'll do well as governor. I wish him luck. And also, I wish more people to vote. It's your right, no matter who you vote for. Just get out and vote! It's the American thing to do!
THIS JUST IN! Lol. Not a joking matter at all about the suspicious packages with explosives in them that were found to day. There are measures being taken to find if there are more packages of this nature. They were being shipped to synagogues in Chicago. I am very happy that this didn't turn out so bad. Why Chicago? Why synagogues? It's worth the attention to the development of this situation.
I think this is all for tonight. I'll be back if I find something else interesting.

News From CNN Yahoo This Morning
I saw this on CNN last night but this is pretty shocking.
Resignation of Clint McCance
The guy was pretty mean for what he said. In my opinion, no matter who you are, saying mean things is never good. It amounts to nothing but pain to others. Words can hurt, no matter what you say. With the increase in suicides of school kids, things like this said by a vice-president of a school district. Shouldn't he care about students, even if they are gay? It's one thing not to agree with and today, it's just not OK to even voice the disagreement. But to say things like fag an queer and that they should get aids and die and advocating suicide is pretty heartless. Wishing death on people is just flat out wrong. No sorry can correct what was said, in my opinion.
In addition to his wrong doing, no one should threaten him or his family. Yes, he was wrong but that does not justify the wrong of those that are being mean to the man. How about he take his resignation, move away, and live with what he did? And all the merry people can move on with their lives. He's been punished; don't threaten him and his family.
I just read this one. Quite expensive!!!! Hey Big Spender! I think some people are just fine with how much the government spends on defense. I'm not. This is just crazy!!! But it happens. No control over it. Running a country costs a lot. A good defense system costs a lot. So I can get over it.
This is just something I like.
Good for China! A super computer! I'd like to see more about this one, I guess.
It's funny. I just saw this on the local news here in Houston and then, it is corrected seconds later. Here's the article from CNN: Meek Speaks! It's amazing how information is handled improperly and how lies are spread.
I'll be back for more news posts and to update this new blog of mine.
