Random Musings from News Headlines

My thoughts of the latest news cycle headlines...

Obama goes to Copenhagen to lobby for the 2016 Olympics.
   Republicans need to pass on arguing this action.  Going to lobby to bring the Olympics to Chicago is not a big deal.  I say good luck to him.  He's trying to get a major event to happen in the USA instead of another country.  Why wouldn't we support that.  Do I think he would do this if it was Austin Texas?  No I don't.  But let's take a pass on making something outta nothing here.

Polanski fights extradition from Switzerland to the US.
  Get his ass!  He pleaded guilty because he knew he would get a bigger conviction if he went to trial.  Then he flew the country to avoid jail time.  He did the crime and has been living a life of luxury overseas for 31 years.  He drugged and raped a 13 year old girl in 1977.  Maybe the hollywood types think he should be spared the jail time since it's been so long, but that just shows how shallow and idiotic they are.  Just because a large amount of time has passed does not mean you get a free pass out of jail. 

Iran found to have secret Nuclear Facility for enriching uranium.
  So another example of how much trust you can place in the leadership of Iran.  My sympathies to the people of Iran who from what I read are just about as fed up with their leadership as the rest of the world should be.  Maybe Russia and China will wipe the egg off their faces and wide up to the fact that you can not trust a blithering maniacal mad man like Ahmadinejad.  If he isn't reined in he could be the start of WW III.

I wonder if our parents had the same worries about what type of world they would leave us when we were kids?  Or is this something that is indicative of the current state of affairs?
