1 out of 100

1 out of every 100 men are in prison in the United States. Falls in the economy have made many of men turn to acts of theft and violence to get out of money problems or to just survive. The "recession" is the reason for this trend in the rise in prisons in the United States. If the economy grew and we dont go into a full recession do you believe that this trend in the prison would stay the same or would it fall with the rise in economy?

A New Cuba

Raul Castro unlike older brother Fidel has already been making changes in Cuba. He is and has already started letting in UN Human Rights Council to visit and check the state of the jails in Cuba. Also He is reaching out trying to open up to a capitalist system in there country doing thing like foreign trade and opening up to tourism unlike Fidel who ran a closed system. Cuba is now a two billion dollar a year tourist attraction bring more money to their economy than ever. For the United States Raul is a big factor hopefully opening up to trade with us. Raul is possibly the best thing for Cuba.

Harry In War

Prince Harry of England is in the war on terror. He is not just in the British Army helping from a secure base but is actually on the front line fighting. Britian wanted to keep this secret for they believed this would make him a "bullet magnet" for the taliban. All Harry wanted was to be a normal solider but that came to a quick end. He is possibly getting pulled out soon to come due to his identity being told. The Queen herself, his grandmother, is the one who sent him to war.

Serbs Take Out Aggression on U.S. Embassy

Because of the support from the United States for the independence of Kosovo, an angy grup rally turned into a mess when they attacked the unguarded embassy building of the United States. The United States was not the only one who supported Kosovo so taking there aggresion out on us was not very nice. The U.S. should put there foot down and show these Serbs whats whats and whos who and dont set our buildings on fire because its just mean.

Showdown In Texas

Heated debate between the Democratic nomines Obama and Clinton on CNN. While Obama looked calm and cool Clinton looked very uneasy in her seat. With Obama winning so many straight I believe Clinton sees that bright light at the end of the tunnel and is trying her hardest to steer away from it. Can she out run the light? Or will those headlights coming towards her on the semi truck that Obama is driving run her over on his way to the White House?

Sweeny Todd



The Tim Burton film, Sweeny Todd, was amazing. Johnny Depp played to character so well. The movie suprised me by how morbid yet funny at the same time. The whole theme of a meat pie/ barber slaughter house was very interesting. And using the bodies as the meat filling was quite different. I HIGHLY reccomend this movie for everyone!! A+

Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!?

Which one will be the victor? With the never ending debat over whether or not Microsoft will purchase YAhoo! or whether Yahoo! will agree or not and what Google is thinking being left out. The internet is ending up as a monopoly if all this madness goes down as planned. What are your feelings on this issue? Which surch engine/email/multimedia device will you use? or prefer to use?

The Day of Love

Valentines Day, the day of love is more of a bank breaker for most. The day that your suposed to me kind and loving is the day many men complain about having to spend so much money on. Sending cards, flowers, candies and much more just to show your girl that you love them. This holiday is one of make-ups and break-ups. If your in the dog house send a bunch of flowers and make it up to your lady. You forget about the day all together... your screwed. So go out and show your love, waste some money on flowers that will die in the next day or two and buy candies that wont last until 5 tonight, and say I Love You to your special someone.

Armored Cars In Baghdad

Armored cars in Baghdad are selling like crazy. Civilians are spending up to a quarter of a million dollars to get there family vehicles armor plated to protect them against road side bombs or any bullets that are heading their way. The new shops that offer this are helping the economy by providing new jobs and bringing in more money to the area.
