This week in politics
The feds drop interest rate almost another full point(thank god i can pay my mortgage but I had to sell my car to buy a gallon of milk) I'm still wondering when they are gonna realize that when they drop interest rates the price of everything else goes up! I'm a high school drop out with a GED and I can figure that out.
Now lets move to the argument about Florida and Mi. Hillary just wanted the Dem's seated with out a re vote(imagine that Hillary wants to win and will stoop to new lows to make it happen)They think that the Tax payers should pay for a re-vote, we the tax payers ummmmmmm not so much! The only fair thing to do is not seat the delegates at all and do their best to win the super delegates at the convention( sorry i forgot the Dem's don't play fair in anything they do) Well I will add to this as I see new things come up but for now that is all. Don't forget to come by the show every WED at 9pm EST(unless i don't feel like doing it lol)

Is Iran next
Iran's U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazee told the council just before the vote that the government would not comply with the "unlawful action" against its "peaceful nuclear program."
Earlier Monday, the chief U.N. nuclear inspector urged Iran to stop stonewalling his experts and cooperate over indications it may have tried to make atomic arms under the cover of a civilian nuclear program.
A senior Iranian official said such allegations were "fabricated." But a U.S. envoy repeated Washington's assertions that Tehran tried to make such weapons in the past.
Sadam said that he didnt have WMD either and look where we are today . Thank you for reading and have a great day!Sunday, March 2, 2008
What Muslims what Muslims get
Yet another example of how a religion can impact the country that we live in. If it had been a now islamic group of women im sure the request would have been denied. The gym is open to all women not just Muslims. This was started by a group of 6 muslim girls attending the colledge that are also members of Harvard Islamic Society
Ola Aljawhary, a student and a member of the Harvard Islamic Society, said the women-only gym is needed.
"These hours are necessary because there is a segment of the Harvard female population that is not found in gyms, not because they don't want to work out, but because for them working out in a co-ed gym is uncomfortable, awkward or problematic in some way,"
Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, in Washington D.C., said modesty may prevent some Muslim women from exercising in a co-ed environment.
"If the women are dressed in a manner that makes it more comfortable to exercise, they may not feel it’s appropriate for them to be viewed by men in that particular attire," he said.
But the change has angered students like Nicholas Wells, a junior who called the change a "lose-lose" situation in an opinion article he wrote for the Harvard Crimson newspaper.
"It is an unreasonable policy that is unjust to men and useless to women," he wrote.
So because of the religion they choose to remain in and fear of being seen by a man with out their robe and head gear, men have to chance the routine they have been on to accommodate for this. I feel its a unfair and unjust rule that needs to be re evaluated. I for one would like to know what Rev Jackson has to say about this. Until next time this has been another political talk entry thank you and good day!Saturday, March 1, 2008

Uss New York
This article complements of foxnews.com
A new U.S. Navy ship to be christened Saturday was built partly using steel from the 9/11 ruins of the World Trade Center.
The USS New York is now stationed in Avondale, La., where the christening ceremony is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. Central time, according to Northrop Grumman, the ship's manufacturer.
The company says on its Web site that the bow-stem of the ship, the seventh to be named "New York," includes 7.5 tons of steel from the World Trade Center.
The USS New York, an amphibious transport dock ship, is 684 feet long, can top 24 mph, and holds a crew of 360 sailors and three Marines. It is expected to be based in Norfolk, Va.
