ReplyDeleteThe blog was about President Obama and how he hasn't made the conclusion that the Fort Hood massacre wasn't a terorist attack. The author wrote, "Hasan had made a presentation that justified suicide bombing and argued that the war on terror is a war against Islam." The authors bias is clear that he thinks the man was a terrorist, he states, "Yet no conclusions were warranted, as far as Obama was concerned. "We cannot fully know what leads a man to do such a thing," our "philosopher in chief" intoned." The author Paul gives the impression that he thinks the President isn't doing enough about the attack; he's afraid to jump to any conclusions about it. "Obama has not always been cautious about jumping to conclusions.When a white police officer in Cambridge, Mass., arrested an African-American Harvard professor, the president was quick to proclaim that the officer had "acted stupidly." Obama was soon forced to back away from that statement, which was based on ignorance of the facts," paul writes" I think that he is contradicting himself in a way because he makes it sound like it was so bad for Obama to jump to cnclusions the first time, and now he isn't saying enough by not wanting to jump to conclusions.

ReplyDeleteI found a blog that is more active then the one i had before.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty much just a bunch of crazy people talking about the horrors of factory farms. they talk about how abused the the animals are and how horrible it is for the eviroment and it's all obama's fault obviously because everything that is wrong with the world is obama's fault.
It's quite funny.

ReplyDeleteThis article is about the death of Michael Jackson, which is now being looked at more thoroughly. The Los Angeles County coroner is now saying that the death of Jackson was a homicide mostly cause by two drugs. The death was cause by intoxication from the anesthetic propofol and lorazepam; though the propofol is probably what killed him. Previously the coroner had not released Jackson’s full autopsy report due to an ongoing security hold at the request of the authorities. Michael’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, gave him the propofol the morning on his death, June 25, 2007. It was given to him AFTER a series sedatives failed to put him to sleep. According to Murray, Jackson was being treated for insomnia for about six weeks with a 50 milligram prescription of propofol. However, he feared Michael was forming an addiction to the drug, so we was attempting to wean him off by lowering the does to 25 milligrams and adding sedatives, lorazepam and midazolam. The combination did its job two days prior and he cut off the propofol the next day. Then around 1:30 am on June 25, beginning with 10 milligrams of Valium, he gave Jackson a series of drugs instead of propofol. Then he was given 2 milligrams of midazolan around 2 am, 3 am and reapeats of each at 5 am and 7:30 am; But they did not work. Michael demanded his propofol because he could not sleep, so Murray gave him 25 milligrams which put him right to sleep. Jackson remained asleep so Murray went to the bathroom, but found when he came back 2 minutes later, Jackson had stopped breathing. Therefore, the doctor is being investigated for manslaughter because apparently “did not know” that the combination would kill him. I chose this article because it seemed interesting to me and I was surprised that this was only the first time I was hearing about this. When he first passed away, all I hear was that he had a heart attack. Normally Michael Jackson is all over the news, but they are keeping the fact that he was murdered unusually quiet.

This blog is entirely interesting, and will allow me to look at the world from a slightly more feline point of view.

ReplyDeleteThis blog is essentially a tour through horrifying and disturbed depths of the Internet, with the borderline insane writer Warren Ellis as the tour guide. I chose it because it's incredibly entertaining and partially enlightening once you really how deprived we all are.
The blog I'm gonna follow is:

ReplyDeleteThe blog that I am following is the Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus Blog. This blog talks a lot about Miley and different things that have happened to her recently, such as her tour bus being in a crash (Miley was luckily not onboard). Also that Miley will be starring in a movie that is coming out soon. It also has the dates, times, and places of all of her upcoming concerts. It's all basically things that a Miley Cyrus fan would want to know, which leads me to why i picked this blog. I love Miley's music and the fact that as of now she is the biggest celeb. teen around.

ReplyDeleteThis has to be the most innocuous website on the internet. The concept of this blog is extremely simple and strangely has no ulterior motives. Everyday the weirdo who runs this blog post cute pictures of animals, puts captions under them, and….well… that’s it. I would be lying if I said typing the phrase “cute pictures of animals” doesn’t weird me out a little. Though, in all honesty, I appreciate the harmlessness of it all. Especially how there aren’t any loner lunatics typing a bunch of bullshit in the dim hope that some equally estranged sociopath agrees with them. No none of that, but there is a picture of a mouse in a hand made subway train.
