Obama funds federal funded abortions.



President Barack Obama has signed an executive order designed to ensure that no federal money can be used for elective abortions under the nation's new health care legislation.
Obama agreed to the order on Sunday to ensure passage of the health care overhaul that is central to his agenda. The deal won the votes of anti-abortion lawmaker Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan and a bloc of other House members who wanted assurances that existing federal policy would not change.
The order affirms a prohibition on federal funding of abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or danger to the woman's life.
Obama invited lawmakers to the Oval Office for the order signing Wednesday but no members of the news media were allowed in the room.

Overdue library book due after 45 years.

A pretty weird and funny story but true. A mysterious person borrowed a book back in 1996 and all of the sudden decided to return it 45 years later. Talk about slow readers. Alison Lawrie, the principal assistant at Dinnington Library, near northern England's Sheffield says she tried looking back at the records to see who the borrower was but the records don't go back that far. It's very weird to return a library book after so long. Imagine the fines for the book. Even if its a penny they charge every day your late imagine how much money you owe! All the staff members of the library were very baffled when they saw the book in there mailbox. They decided the person doesn't have to worry about the fines, they just want to know who the person is and why they decided to return it almost half a century later. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100319/ap_on_fe_st/eu_odd_britain_overdue_book

Why have there been so much earthquakes lately?

A topic that arises a lot and gained a lot of attention since the Haiti earthquake is why are the so much more earthquakes nowadays? Well previously I thought there were more earthquakes, but now after comparing earthquakes from 1900's to the ones in the 2000's shows that we have much more advanced technology that detects even the slightest earth movemnt. The earth moves a lot. Sometimes it moves without us noticing it and other times it moves so much it destroys buildings and injures people. But basically what I'm trying to say is don't worry about it to much. The world is not ending or anything like that. It's just we have more advanced technology so we detct more plate movemnts inside the earth. Even back then there were many earthquakes and people didn't even notice half of them. Earthquakes are just a natural thing for the earth.

4.4 magnitude earthquake rattles Los Angeles.

A magnitude-4.4 earthquake rattled residents of Los Angeles early Tuesday morning. At first it was quick then it jolted up a little bit stronger. Luckily no damage or injuries was caused. Although it wasn't a very strong earthquake it cuased worries all around LA. Why? Well because of the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. I mean, if there was a earthquake near NY, we would already be thinking get ready to die. Same thing happened to the residents of LA. But now the real question arises. Why are there so much disasters around the world now? It first started with an earthquake in Haiti then in Chile, then a tsunami and now another earthquake in LA. It seems a little creepy referring back to Nostradamus's theory of the world ending in 2012.

New Android Powered Internet Tablet

The new Archos 5 Internet tablet is out. It is an amazing device that has many features. So what makes this new device so special? Several reasons, but the first standout is Android. With the many pre-installed application (ranging from documents to twitter,) there is also the AppsLib. The AppsLib is a library of free and paid downloadable apps—and Archos is promising 300–450 apps that are in the pipe-line ready to go. Another amazing feature is an HDMI port. With this addition, you could be watching a movie as you commuting home and once you get there, simply plug the device into your TV and finish watching it. But, paired with the next features makes that port even more amazing. The Archos 5 supports an external keyboard connected either by Bluetooth 2.0 or the USB 2.0 host port. So now, why even take a laptop when you travel? Plug this into your TV and type away on an external keyboard to keep in touch. While it can come with either a 160 or 500 GB HDD, you can also take advantage of that port by plugging in an external hard drive and pretty much have infinite storage. Lastly, one of the best features of all, it features a kickstand on the back, making it so easy to watch movies or type using an external keyboard.

Trey Songz is bisexual?!?!


According to a trusted source Trey Songz is openly bi-sexual and has been seeing men since 2004. A source exclusively tells Bossip that Trey Songz was in a relationship with an industry professional named Brandon Hines  whom Trey worked with in 2004-2005 and was in a relationship with for roughly 6-7 months.While our source confirms that Trey does indeed sleep with men the source also says that Trey still continues to sleep around with women as well. This is very disturbing because now a lot of fans might just start hating him even with all his hit songs including "Say Ahh".

America's Obsession with Celebrities.

Why are we Americans so obsessed with celebrities? Well  the answer is plain and simple. Our lives are so boring and dull that we have to go pick on someone else's lives. And the best type of people for that is celebrities. There lives are so exciting and entertaining. We Americans just wait around for the celebrities to make just one mistake so we can spread rumors to the whole world. According to us thats what we call fun. Ruining lives for celebrites because our lives so boring and dull.

An example of this is the Tiger Woods incident. His car accident helped us find out that he cheated on his wife with numerous amount of women. The minute this was revealed the first thing we Americans did was drop whatever we were doing and turned on the t.v or computer or whatever we can get more information from, which is kind of disturbing because thats how obsessed we are with celebritiy gossip. Another example of celebrity gossip was when model Naomi Cambell abused and harrased her cab driver. I mean i understand why she did it and she does deserve some time, but that doesn't mean you have to tell the whole world and make a big deal out of it to embarass her. I mean people kill each other all the time and half the times cops and judges let them get away with it. And this celebrity does one little thing and the world goes cheering because they found a celebrity doing something wrong. Like i said before we do this because our lives are so dull and boring. http://www.popeater.com/2009/12/07/more-women-in-the-tiger-woods-scandal-emerge/

Naomi Campbell's incident with her chauffeur.


Hot-tempered fashion icon Naomi Campbell was on the lam Tuesday night after cops said she beat up her driver in a Manhattan meltdown. Police were searching the city for the 39-year-old model, last seen wearing a black designer coat and running through the bustling streets of midtown. She is also known for assaulting 2 other people a couple of years back. Both the assaults from a couple of years back inoilved weapons. Cops don't know if the recent assault involved a weapon.  The part that makes me angry is instead of being sent to jail for assault she had to serve 200 hours of community service and she got fined for $4,500. She also was ordered to take an anger management class. If it wasn't a celebrity we all know the cops would have grabbed the assualter by the neck and throw him into jail. But due to her being a celebrity she was spared...3 TIMES!. It bothers me and im sure a whole bunch of people that celebrities think they can do whatever they want whenever they want http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2010/03/02/2010-03-02_naomi_campbell_in_trouble_again_cops_hunt_supermodel_after_assault_on_limo_drive.htmlwithout getting into trouble.

Bomb detonated in Detroit school

A homemade bomb was detonated in the hallway of a Detroit school and that a student has been taken into custody. Luckily no one was hurt and the 540 kis that were in the school was evacuated and sent to a nearby school called Roberto Clemente Learning Academy. The kid that is suspected of starting the bomb is with authorities and authorities are not giving any details about him until they found out more about him and what his intentions were. This is a very shocking thing to hear. You don't usually expect this from elementary-highschool kids. Things have gone way out of hand nowadays.

Haiti Earthqauke vs. Chile Earthquake

As we all know the earthquake in Haiti was devasting emotionally and physically. The earthqauke in Haiti had a magnitude of 7.0, and it caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and practically destroyed the country of Haiti. Thousands of people were left injured and homeless. Many people were trapped under rubble either dead or unconsious. However Haiti had full support from countries all over the world to help it get back to its feet.

However a couple of days ago, Chile had an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8. Now heres where it gets weirder. Haiti had an earthqauke with a magnitude of 7 and Chile with 8.8. So why did more people die in Haiti then in Chile? Well, Chile is wealthier and infinitely better prepared, with strict building codes,sturdy emergency response and a long history of handling seismic catastrophes. No living Haitian had experienced a quake at home when the Jan. 12 disaster crumbled their poorly constructed buildings. By contrast, no Chilean urban area suffered more than "severe" shaking the third most serious level  Saturday in its 8.8-magnitude disaster, by USGS measure. The quake was centered 200 miles (325 kms) away from Chile's capital and largest city, Santiago. In terms of energy released at the epicenter, the Chilean quake was 501 times stronger. But due to Chile's experience with earthquakes (such as the one in 1960 which was known as the world's most powerful earthquake) and due to there wealth and strict building codes millions of people survived.http://www.myfoxla.com/dpp/hot_stories/compare-chile-quake-haiti-quake-20100227t

Chile Earthquake

A massive 8.8 earthqauke hit Chile Saturday morning. It prompted several aftershocks, including a 6.3 earthquake in Argentina that killed two individuals. In addition, the quakes caused a tsunami in Hawaii that did not cause any casualties or damage. A tsunami was also felt in Ventura, California. Even though the building codes in Chile are better, there’s still a lot of structural damage done to a lot of the buildings and it will take a lot of time and money to re-build now that the quake is through. The earthquake caused many deaths, injusries and left thousands of people wihout homes. The earthquake in Chile released approximately 500 times as much energy as the Haitian earthquake in January, the death toll has been much lower, because of better seismic construction and the early morning tremor. This was Chile's second time facing an earthqauke. The first in 1960 which was known as world's biggest earthqauke which was caught on camera by scientists.http://www.breakingglobalnews.com/earthquake-in-chile/1223664
