Former Detroit Mayor sentenced

Another story of corruption within government. This time the former Mayor of Detroit Kwame Kilpatrick is going to jail for four months. Kilpatrick pleaded guilty last month to two felony obstruction of justice charges stemming from his efforts to cover up an extramarital affair. He also pleaded no contest to charges of assaulting a police officer attempting to serve a subpoena on a Kilpatrick friend in that case. It seems to me that when people become placed in a position of power that time and time again they want to exploit it. It is a shame that he took advantage of his power, but justice is served at least for now.

Obama And Bill Clinton To Campaign Together In Orlando Wednesday

Former President Bill Clinton is coming to Barack Obama's rescue. Clinton's support of Obama might help him win Florida, at least this is what he is hoping for. By appearing in Orlando together tommorow the duo might swing voters in Obama's direction. Also Orlando is located on the what political analysts are calling the I-4 beltway, which represents Florida's most important group of voters. These voters represent the Tampa area as well as the Orlando area and all the way through the center of the state to Daytona Beach. This population will decide Florida and this is why both of the campaigns are hammering away at that area. Clinton is an important figure and it can only help Obama to have him by his side especially in this type of political climate.

The election is upon us...

In one week the most historic election in history or so it has been called will take place. Not all people are waiting till November 4th to vote however. Early voting is drawing record numbers and some of the lines were 3 hours long last week. Miami-Dade County needs to do something about this because if the lines are so long now what is going to happen on election day. Will the lines be 6 hours long? To me this is a joke, but it not a shock. I feel that the elections departments all over Florida have been a disgrace to the system since way back when. I won't reiterate what happened in 2000, but enough is enough. Isn't it time that they got their act together.

Red Sox make history yet again....

Last night the Boston Red Sox were down 7-0 late in the game. All of the sudden they started a huge rally. First David Ortiz unloaded his bat for huge 3 run home run and then JD Drew followed suit with the same caliber 3 run blast. After that, the game was tied and the Red Sox went on to win by one run with in the bottom of the ninth inning. This was the biggest comeback in Major League Baseball history since 79 years ago. Go ahead and WATCH it for yourself.

Mother indicted...

The mother of the missing Florida girl was just indited on first degree murder charges. A grand jury returned charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators against Casey Anthony in the death of her daughter. The mother is being held without bond. This lady is going to deal with the wrath of the jury. It is a terrible story that doesn't seem to have a happy ending in store. The body of the girl hasn't been found as yet and it won't be. This woman named, Casey Anthony told authorities that she had left her daughter with a baby sitter in June, and that the two were gone when she returned from work. She says she spent the next month trying to find her daughter and didn't call authorities because she was scared. There will be an appeal process, but she will probably do some hard time. Another story, another lesson learned!

Lets take a trip..

Aren't you tired of Miami don't you need a vacation? I do and I want one thats permanent, maybe Tahiti! Well some peole can't afford to go there now I know I can't so why not stay in North America and why not learn something while your at it. L.A., D.C., Toronto and Roanoke, Va. are all opening new museums this fall and MSNBC has some info for you on these destinations. My favorite one has to be the Sports Museum of Los Angeles. Not only do I love sports, but I love L.A. and I can't wait to make another trip out there. I also like D.C. and I've been there many times and there is alot of history there as well as museums to visit. So go out and travel somewhere, you will have fun and learn something at the same time.

Stocks came back on Monday for a record gain...

Monday was the biggest gain in history and we sure needed it after all the heat we took last week. Today is Tuesday and the market rallied early, but then they lost steam as the day progressed. I'm not sure how this affected me directly as far as the totals of the last several weeks of plunging but I know that what little money I have in the market is probably gone with the wind. Oh well I am hopeful that things will get better eventually and we will all ride of into the sunset. Actually I am not I just said that to make myself feel better. I am starting to like this blogging it is kind of cathartic.
