Political Cartoon- Current Event #5

This week, we have a global warming political cartoon. I think its kinda funny!...those polar bears are pretty funny!
What its trying to say is that people are relying on Obama to do something about global warming. I believe in it and I don't understand how people can not believe in it. I don't understand the sketicism. Anyways...I still think that this is a clever cartoon. Even if it is not real (for the people who don't believe in it) we still have to do SOMETHING...this world can not keep on being our biatch...bad idea. Something needs done and Barack may be able to do it. YOU GO POLAR BEARS!!!

PEACE...

Political Cartoon- Current Event #4


This week's cartoon is kinda funny...it is making fun of Bush and what happened to him in Iraq. If you don't know (I hope that you do), sometime in December, Bush was attacked by shoes from an Iraqi reporter. I am pleased to say that he was not harmed and that he was able to dodge all two of them. He is my idol (not really)...he should go on American Gladiators. However, it also maes fun of the economy/brings the failing aconomy into perspective. I just kinda got a laught from it and I thought it would be an awesome cartoon for this week!...

PEACE...off to do another current event!

Political Cartoon- Current Event #3

This week...we have a political cartoon that has Bush and Putin TRYING to shake hands. This was not published in the US, to the world knows what's up. Bush has tried many times to get along with Putin, even "seeing his soul", but nothing has gotten better. We are not moving in a forward direction, we are moving more in a backward direction. They have frozen in place. Their trying to create a good relation with each other has failed and is going no where. This is kinda funny and totally true. Those people from Norway really know their politics!!!...Perhaps with Obama, we can get things lifted off the ground with Russia. However a few weeks ago, Russia made a threatening statement towards the president-elect practically saying that if he was going to interfere with anything that has to do with Russia and its defense nukes in it, they were going to have a problem!...HEY...BACK OFF RUSSIA!!!


PEACE...

Political Cartoon- Current Event #2


Alright...here's this week's political cartoon!!!



haha...ain't that funny?

Ok...this cartoon has to do with the bailout for the car comapnies. It syas how congress is taking major control. It seems that this cartoon is trying to convey congress as a large, powerful, gross man that is weird. This dude has on american flag pants and flip-flops. WEIRD combination...!!...

Anyways...it's saying that congress has control. Because it has given so much money, these car companies are kinda at its mercy. To the executives, congress may be correctly portrayed in this pic. Congress may be kinda intimidating, especially when it has some leverage when it comes to the decisions of this company. WHAT has happened to the free market?...idk...whatever...I still kinda like this cartoon. I like it even though its hard to really make out the people in the car, but whatever!

PEACE...

Political Cartoon- Current Event #1

Alright...we're back...Mr. Stroud had sent us back into the blogging world after a long, well-deserved vacation!!!



This week's PC is kinda funny:



So...here's the break down of this cartoon.
Here we have palin singing at the top of her lungs a song by Celine Deon...weird... She is holding a 2012 flag, while chilling on the tip of the RMS Republicans...However, I don't know what the heck is flying around in the background...anybody know?...I thought they looked like little donkeys flying around...but I really need some clarification...
Anyways...this political cartoon is trying to say that Palin ain't going nowhere...!!! That in itself is scary. It is saying that she will not quit and that she has her sights set on the years of 2012 to get her preseidency position...or maybe something different. IDK...but that's still scary...I think she should just leave the U.S. alone...I think she's too busy pardoning turkeys whil one is being cut up in the background...GO AWAY PALIN...whatever...
PEACE...

2008 Election Project- Week #6 (THE LAST)

here it is...the LAST election post...then it will come down to only one post a week for current events!!!

Alright...i'll leave the presidents for the last...

FOR THE HOUSE...

Wolf (10th)...because he has been in congress for 20+ years. People are happy with him and he is bound to leave sometime and THAT is when Feder can take the seat in the house...

Connolly (11th)...because, I have NO idea...I really don't know...that is NOT my district so I really haven't researched those candidates...bummer, right?

FOR THE SENATE...

Without a doubt...Warner is going to win this...he is destroying Gilmore in the polls and he (to me) seems like a more honest person. Gilmore actually looks like a rat...I can't stand him. But, yes, it will be warner for the Senate...which I am happy for!!!

FOR THE PRESIDENCY!!!...

HERE WE GO...drum roll please...thank you...and the next PRESIDENT...def Obama. People are sick of republicans with Bush and blame the republicans for the economic conditions. Democrats are about to be the majority. I feel that the republican party is going to def going to be a minority within the next 5 decades...virginia bcame blue, and so did other toss up states. I'm sorry that us in the northern part of virginia are not real virginians OR real americans...that sucks...why are we voting then?...O YEA...to NOT vote for the party that said that about us in NOVA...jerks...anyways...this is a stupid prediction with no science behind it...but obama will get 58% of the popular vote and umm...306 electoral votes...yea...no need to bet on my predictions, however!!!

ALRIGHT...

PEACE!!!

Current Event #6

Alright...this week's article is a doozy.

Turns out that today (Monday: 10/27/08), Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska was convicted of corruption. He was charged for having taken money from an oil industry executive's money in order to RENOVATE HIS HOUSE. Alright...not if I was going to take crap money, I would not spend it on MY HOUSE...dude...get your priorities straight. I hate how, even thought there aren't many, that there are corrupted officials in our government. It is stupid and should be stopped immediately. Some politicians need to wake up and realize "hey, I have people to represent and a country to help run...maybe I shouldn't kill this hooker!"...alright...maybe not that drastic. Anyways...it's stupid and uncalled for. I would LOVE to have a word with the people who are corrupt enough as to put themselves before their district, state, or even country. What the freak happened?...where have all good polticians gone?
DONE...

PEACE...
