Fed moves to help distressed homeowners - Yahoo! News
This is BS. The Federal Reserve is going to try to help keep irresponsible people in their current living situation. They're rewarding people for taking on more debt than they could handle.
What about me! I've been living within my means, and I don't see any relief from my debts coming my way.
I think this is a terrible message. All the people, companies, etc. that got caught up in this mess and are on the brink of death, should be left to die so that people and companies that aren't or weren't irresponsible, can take their place. It might be a hard lesson, but either way, this "crisis" is going to take a long time to heal, and I'd rather not see those responsible, a lot of whom are corrupt, put us back in the situation later on. Total Fing BS!

The Internet Fails to Deliver
I wanted to watch the inauguration via internet since I'm at work and the 2 TV rooms with TVs are so overflowing that I can't even see it while standing outside. So I come and try to view it via the internet, something the internet should be able to deliver in the year 2009.
WRONG!
Thanks for wasting my time with viewing your loading pages, msnbc, cspan, abc, cbs, etc. All of them. I'm still letting msnbc try to load, Obama should be in the middle of his speech now. Oh well, maybe I can catch it on youtube or something later. I guess that's what the internet is good for, everything after-the-fact.

Damaged Brains
Excite News - Hamas holds victory rallies as UN chief tours Gaza: "Thousands of Hamas supporters thronged a square outside the remains of the parliament building in Gaza City, which was heavily damaged in an Israeli airstrike at the outset of the war. Two men hoisted a sign in carefully scripted Hebrew reading, 'The resistance will be victorious, Israel has been defeated.'"

Their brains must still be shell shocked to think Israel was defeated! haha

Yeah, But
VOA News - Hamas Rejects Israel's Conditions for Cease-Fire: "U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon - on a weeklong tour of the region - was in the West Bank town of Ramallah Friday. He suggested Israel should stop waiting for cease-fire negotiations and end its assault immediately. 'The fighting must stop now ' he said. 'We have no time to lose. If they take some more time there will be more casualties more losses of human lives more destructions. I would urge you again that a unilateral declaration of ceasefire would be necessary at this time.'"

Ok, to me it's as simple as a country not wanting to get rocketed daily. If Mexico was constantly shooting rockets at us, I would want the US Armed Forces to destroy the source.
In Israel, the source of the rockets is Hamas in Gaza. Israel has every right to use force to stop the rockets. All Hamas has to do is stop firing them and give up the rockets. It's not worth all the lives being lost for Hamas to keep firing them, is it? The burden of the deaths are not on Israel's shoulders, but wholly on Hamas'. I hope Israel is successful in its attempt to stop those terrorists once and for all.

Started having kids at age 40
Applicants pour in for part-time jobs in Kyle: "'We've got four kids at home, age 5 to 18,' the 58-year-old Kyle resident said as he filled out an application to work in the store's shipping and receiving department."
---
So at 40 he had the first of his 4 children. Wow. So I guess it's still possible that I might find a woman and have kids since I just turned 40. Slim hope, but it's there, hehe.

Darwin's Natural Selection Strikes Again
Slim hope for survivors of lost Indonesian ferry - Yahoo! News
PAREPARE, Indonesia – More than 230 passengers and crew were missing and presumed dead at nightfall Monday, after the boat suddenly capsized before dawn Sunday in a cyclone off the coast of Indonesia's Sulawesi island, killing hundreds aboard. (emphasis added)
---
Natural selection at work once again.
What gives? I mean, did the captain not know he was on a ferry? A ferry is about as seaworthy as a fishing boat, maybe less so, in a cyclone. Cram it full of people and cars and who knows what else Indonesian's put on it, and the potential for disaster while going through, or near, a cyclone points to almost certainty. But it doesn't take a captain to know that.
"Oh I see that the weather really sucks because of a cyclone nearby... hmm, let's take a ferry through it!" Worse, these people took their kids with them.
It's one thing to die on a ferry because of a sudden storm or mechanical problem, it's another thing to die on a ferry that you know is going to dance with a cyclone. Stupid.

US joins press for truce as Gaza onslaught goes on
Ugh. Everybody wants to be a peacemaker.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for saving the innocent. But the situation in Gaza was caused by the people in Gaza. They elected Hamas into power. Once Hamas got most of the power, it took the rest by force. Maybe the people got a little more than what they bargained for? Maybe. Maybe not.
It doesn't matter, because what does matter is that Hamas launches attacks against Israel, and that gives Israel every right to attack. I think that's what the Palestinian people want. They seem to have a history of inviting attacks against them. They get their own stip of land, and instead of putting it to good use, they use it to shoot rockets at Israel. This is what happens when most of a group is stupid, or allows stupidity to lead them.
When you hear the word "Palestinian," what do you think of? Do you think of a wise person? Do you think of someone in control of himself? Do you think of someone who is successful? Me neither. Sad. My first thought is of a bunch of poor and dirty kids who have nothing better to do than throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers.
Anyway, Israel has every right to try and protect its people. It would be better if Hamas didn't hide behind the innocent, but you have to deal with the hand you're dealt with. If Israel is able to crush Hamas, then in the long run more lives are being saved.
