George W. Bush says “Miss Me Yet”

There i s a billboard about George Bush rumored to be on the Interstate 35 in Wyoming, Minnesota,. On the Billboard it had the words “Miss Me Yet” and a picture of Bush in a silly pose:

Many people have verified that it does exist and just another photoshop hoax.  I believe this was made to make people laugh and to think of what Bush didnt do for us when he was our President.  I read an article that said the people who funded the billboard are Obama supporters.Although some people say Bush was a better President than Obama and vice versa, I believe Obama has done good enough as of yet.  We will see what the future has in store for us and Obama as our President.

Having Sex in Public is Legal!

While listening to Latino 96.3 radio station in the morning, which broadcasts some talk shows during the morning and Reggaeton,Hip-Hop music, I heard this announcement:  some people in Kansas have come up with the idea to have sex in  public, well  public restrooms that is. Instead of having one bathroom for girls and one bathrooms they want to add a unisex bathroom. The unisex bathroom is for couples that want to have sex especially because of Valentines Day is approaching and can’t afford a place to have sex, or their parents live with them.

  I believe Latino aired it in the morning because in the morning people from the ages of 17-35 are getting up and getting ready to work,school, or are in stuck in traffic. People who heard it  probably got a good laugh and thats what the station wanted, or was it?  The people who created this ad are probably trying to convey having sex in public isn’t and shouldnt be bad. Also, that we should be Open towards this idea. Another reason 96.3 showed this might also because it wanted to tell its listeners that in Los Angeles there should also be a unisex bathroom.

America Responds quicker to Haitains then Hurricane Katrina

I find it odd how the America responded differently to each of these catastrophes-Hurricane Katrina and Haiti Earthquake. One of the catastrophes was Hurricane Katrina.  When this hurricane hit New Orleans many people were shocked of what had happened and what they saw.  However, aid to help victims of  Hurricane Katrina was slow from our government.  It took our government about a month to help the victims, which caused fatalities.  People were in need of help, but it was slow, so they died.  Although New Orleans is part of the U.S., the rate of  help was much slower then the help of Haitain victims.

Haitains have suffered a terrible amount of damage,pain, and deaths,but the answer to help them has come rapidly. As soon as the earthquake happened America, offered a hand.  Food supplies,clothing, anti biotics and other much needed supplies were sent as soon as possible. Although, I agree on helping other people/countries, why was the response to aid these two catastrophes? I think that Haitains got help faster because they needed it more then New Orleans, which wasn’t in poverty befor the Hurricane Katrina hit. Also, I don’t remember if there were as many companies trying to help victims of Katrina then there were of the earthquake.  I noticed that phone companies planned to raise money by having customers text “Haiti” to some number. When people text “Haiti”, they would donate $10 to help in relief of the fund. Did Phone companies do this for Katrina victims?  I agree we should help the less fortunate, but first we should focus on helping our country first.

DEADLY Cars! Recalled

Lately Toyota, the best car saler in America, has recalled many car models. The most popular models that have been recalled have been the Corolla, Camry and some others. This is one of the biggest recalls ever. The estimated recalls are about 9 million vehicles.   The Toyota cars were recalled because  of the acceleration pedal would suddenly accelerate.

But one of the biggest top selling hybrids,the Toyota Prius, hasnt been recalled yet; However,”The vehicles also have other possible glitches, including headlights that suddenly go dark, The Times reported Friday” (LA Times.com). People are so worried about the danger that they don’t even want to drive the car back to the dealer and have called a tow truck to come pick it up.

I don’t understand why did toyota realeased these cars in the first place if they weren’t ready for the mass market.  Well when cars or just about anything is realeased to the public, the object is put under many tests to make sure it’s safe. As we all can see Toyota failed to put their car models through those tests, and as punishment they quite possibly losing millions of customers, and potentially new customers. Today, Toyota Issued an appology:

‘I am deeply sorry about the inconvenience and concern caused to our customers and others,’ says Akio Toyoda… ‘I regret this more than anything.’ (LA Times.com).

This is a much needed appology, to Toyotas customers and hopefully other car companies will learn from this.

Phone Companies: 1,2,3 Fight!!

Im sure people have seen commercials of At&t vs. Verizon fighting one another.  I have found the commercials funny and entertaining.  But one of the questions I have asked myself, where is the other major company in the war-Sprint . When I watch t.v I don’t really notice many commercials for Sprint.  It is an excellent company and I have Sprint which I have had for almost 6 years.  Sprint has excellent reception everywhere I go,has good plans, and the customer service has been good to me, and last but not least it’s is cheaper then the other three major companies. Maybe Sprint is letting Verizon and At&t take each other out, and then they will make their move.  Last year, Sprint Realeased their first Android phone, The HTC-Hero, which was a much anticipated phone for Sprint users, was realeased last year.  I as well as other people applaud this move because some people are switching over to other companies from Sprint because they didn’t have and Android phones,but now they do.  This move saved Sprint thousands of customers from leaving.

Murderer of an abortion Doctor found Guilty

Today, Scott Roeder was found guilty for the murder of an abortion doctor George R. Tiller. It didn’t take long for the jury to decide there verdict.  When the jury read their verdict, Mr. Roeder had a straight face and didnt seem to show much emotion. Mr. Roeder pleaded guilty to the murder of Mr. Tiller, but thought that if he didnt kill Tiller then he would keep killing babies.  This is more then just a murder case, but also a case that deals with abortion.  Outside the courthouse, were people who supported Mr. Roeder and applauded him for what he had done.  Some of the signs outside said:(NY Times Site).

Mr. Roeder said that he had planned to kill him 10 years earlier or just cut his hands of so he wouldn’t be able to perform abortions.  He also stated that a year before he actually killed the doctor, he sat in the church with a gun, but Mr. Tiller wasn’t present at the

New York Times Site makes a Stupid Move!

 Today, The New York Times annouced that they will start charging for content on its site to users. Users can view few articles before they are asked to pay to continue viewing. This could be a terrible move on NYT part because there are many people who won’t pay for the content.  People will just move on to other sources like the L.A Times, Washington Post and others that have about the same headlines for free. In the past there have been papers that have tried to charge users to read their content but it had no success. What makes you think this will? I believe the only way people will start paying for content is to have all major newspaper sites to start charging as well.  If one doesn’t charge for its online content, then this will surely not succeed as people would rather get something for free then to pay for it. However, there are a few users who will gladly pay for the content:

                 Pete wrote: I’d gladly pay for the New York Times. The LA Times? Yeah… I think I’ll keep reading that online for free. I’ll pay to read the NY Times, you’ll never get a dime from me to read Plashke destroy the English language or Steve Lopez write another cornball fell-good story. And you wonder why your newspaper is dying? Just go for the Pulitzers, Baltimore.  (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/comments_blog/2010/01/new-york-times-to-charge-frequent-users-of-its-site.html)

Space Meets Cyberspace

According to yahoo.com , astronauts finally have internet in space.  Before this came about they already ” had an Internet Protocol phone for private calls to family and friends.”  Astronauts have been waiting for this for quite awhile now because being in space is quite a long state of isolation. Being in space long can surely be lonesome and boring at times.  Today astronaut Timothy Creamer, posted the first twitt from space, “Hello Twitterverse!” he wrote. “We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station — the 1st live tweet from Space! More soon, send your ?s” I know I get distracted if I had Internet, and some people think the astronauts will get distracted to, but NASA doesnt think they will though. NASA says that they are professionals ”so they’re going to get their work done first.” Internet in Space will be great because they will now be able to talk to family and friends and also report if something happens.
