To be honest, it was kind of hard to get past the lead of this story. I am not afraid of big words or technical language, but this was a little excessive. I have found that a ongoing trend in print as well as broadcast media's coverage of the budget show down. Let's just be real the American budget problem is a little too complicated for John Doe off the street to understand. The good journalist would seek out a way to figure out how to

D.C. Mayor Arrested...I Say Good Job
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110412/ap_on_re_us/us_budget_dc_anger
This was a good article that seemed to depict both sides of the argument very well when it would have been easy to sway to one side or the other. The author was keen to point out the validity of the mayor as well as the reasoning behind why Congress did what they did. I liked this story because too often we find political figures arrested or in trouble for doing stupid stuff. This was just an old school protest that made a modern day statement. Good job, Mr. Mayor. I, though it doesn't really matter, approve.

Japan, What a Mess
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110401/ap_on_bi_ge/as_japan_earthquake
I think this author does a really good job of keeping things as simple as possible. There is a lot of stuff going on over there and the reporter gives as concise and put together information as they can. In a tragedy that involved a tsunami, an earthquake, and now a nuclear disaster there are so many different, multifaceted angels to cover.

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110317/ap_on_re_us/us_clinton2nd_term
I must say I have not always been the biggest Hillary fan. No one however can deny her brain and her tremendous success. She has turned the perception of what women can do upside down. She has arguably been the closest woman to sitting in the oval office ever in history. And here she announces in 2012 she is done. She even says she will not be defense secretary or consider the vice presidency. Here, me, a not Hillary fan thinks Madam Secretary why not? Run the army? That would be awesome. There has never been a woman lead the armed forces of the United States. Then again, she is tired she survived eight years as a first lady, eight as a senator from New York and is now the top diplomat in the the U.S. She is tired. So, Hillary, you will probably never read this, but I am sad. You could do it. You could be president (I probably would not vote for you), but you could be. This guy is sad you are not going to at least try. The author did a great job simply reporting the facts with no opinion thrown in.
I will miss you Mrs. Clinton. I cannot believe I just said that.

Did He Win?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110311/ap_on_re_us/us_wisconsin_budget_unions
They wouln't show up and vote and now the govenor of Wisconsin claims victory because the collective barganing agreement has gone through. This is interesting. Because the Democrats are now sending the issue to court. It is funny how stories can take one angle and completly miss the bigger picture. I still stand on my opinion though. Wisconsin senators, DO YOUR JOB.

New Travels So Fast

I wanted to use this story as an example of how fast news travels these days. It is utterly amazing that something that happened in the wee hours of the morning thousands of miles away is at our finger tips. The internet is truly the future of mass media. If people want our generation to be more informed on what is going on, feed us by giving us more RELEVANT information like this.

Wisconsin Democrats Continue their Child's Play
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110225/ap_on_re_us/us_wisconsin_budget_unions
Wisconsin Democrats continue their juvenile act this week. The interesting thing to me in this article was when the Democratic leader of the Wisconsin legislature said the only person that could end the fight was the Republican governor. The ironic thing here is the fact that the all the Democrats fleeing the state could stop it to if they would simply stand up and let the democratic process be what it is to be. When you are voted against, accept defeat. Al Gore is not president, he accepted defeat. He went on and is living his life and does not go around parading around the fact that he should be president. Child's play, that is exactly what it is. Move on Wisconsin, move on. Grow up and move on.
