Government Shutdown

           Everyone knows America is built on a strong flexible government kept in control through checks-and-balances, ever wondered if our government could shut down? Or how it would affect you if it did? Well on Saturday April 9,2011 it nearly did. With the Democrats and republicans fighting over the new bill that congress comes up with every 6 months to help with our countries currency, few people thought they would come up with a compromise fast enough. Though many people speculated that the government would close down, luckily, it didn't. What would have happened had the government actually shut down though? First all the free parks people are able to go to such as the Smithsonian would close down or would cost money in order to go into. Then the people in the military would not be being paid so they wouldn't go into work everyday to protect our nation. Those are just some of the minor things that would have happened had our government closed down, and as everyone can see those really aren't that minor, so we should all be quite thankful the people in congress had managed to find a compromise.

Series of storms kills 8 people

          A huge systems of storms pass through the southeast starting with Texas and then into Oklahoma on Tuesday April 5. In these storms only 8 died but most were killed during the tornado. The tornado was but one small portion of these storms their was violent thunderstorms that came with even more violent winds, then their was a hail storm, then finally came the tornado, there was a total of 3 tornadoes ALONE! Of the 8 people who died, 6 of then were a family from Georgia who happened to be visiting texas with them died a little 6-month-old. Once the storm had passed, they were thrown into a two day power outage and they are just now starting to gain back power.That's all for now, I'll keep you updated.

Japans disaster

Tragedy strikes in Japan with an earthquake of 9.0 on the ripter scale. Though they say that Japan is the most prepared country for an earthquake even they are not prepared for a 9.0 earthquake. It hit at around 2:45 pm and it devestated Japan! Some people speculate that there maybe over 10,000 bodies from it, though they have only found roughly 4,000 and even more are missing at present time. The tsunamis and after-shocks of the earthquake have caused even more damage but these things could be the least of Japans problems.



            Japan is a manufacterer of nuclear weapons and some of their plants are leaking nuclear fluids. They are having several thousand people quarentined due to the fact they have shown signs of nuclear contamination.

            At current time we are uncertain of how long Japan will be suffering so everyone please be aware and hopeful for the people of Japan

IGOD is sexist against women!

           When I was in my communications class, I was playing on IGod when I asked "God " if he was male or female and he said "My gender is male of course.Would you really expect a woman to be running the show."       

Now as I am a woman I was very offended by this obvious sexism! We women have woerked hard to earn our rights whilst men, the moment they were born, recieved them. We have worked hard to earn our education and our potitions in society whilst men took the easy road. As women who have WORKED for our rights we should not tolerate this! The man who created this right should NOT have made it sexist it simply isn't true now that women are treated equally we are still somehow under men, a man who is a CEO will recieve more money than a women in the same position. Now I ask you why do we stand for it perhaphs it time we fight back or perhaps we shall just continue to sit there and do nothing

Planetary alignment decreases gravity!-April Fools article ALL fake

           With the planetary alignment coming with 2012 you might want to go out and buy lots of Velcro because as the planets come into alignment we lose GRAVITY! Scientists have recently discovered that recently we have had a loss of gravity and the only plausible reason for this is the planetary alignment. They think that by the time the planets come completely into alignment we may have just slightly more gravity on earth than we do on the moon! Prepare your moon suits and get ready to fly, cause we are going into 0 gravity!
           Now scientists are completely baffled at how they have managed to completely miss this, as its been happening for over 20 years! There has been some ideas floating about how the coming 0 gravity might have something to do with the onslaught of obesity that has been happening about the world.
