Hillary Communicates With America Via Internet

Hillary Clinton is embarking on a new way to communicate with the public through the internet. For the last three days Sen. Clinton answered questions asked by people on her website. If interested in a copy of the transcripts or to watch a video of the web broadcasts check out her site: Hillary Clinton

Kerry Is A No Show In '08

John Kerry is not running for president in 2008. I highly doubt he would have been much of a threat this time considering his popularity is far below that of Clinton. Thank you for not running during this election. I voted for you in 2004, but now that we have better candidates in 2008 I wouldn't waste my vote.

Minimum Wage May Stay The Same

Well it was a nice thought the Democrats had of increasing minimum wage from the low $5.15 an hour to the whopping $7.25 over the next 26 months. The effort to pass an already approved bill from the House in the Senate failed 54-43. This was due to the fact that the bill did not have any tax breaks for restaurants and other small businesses that like to pay their employees practically nothing.

If the Democrats offer tax break incentives in the bill then it is possible that the bill will pass through the Congress. The problem I can't figure out is it has been 10 years since minimum wage has increased, yet I doubt it has been 10 years since small businesses has received a tax break.

Hillary Clinton For President!!!!!!

And now the race begins! The front runner for the Democratic Party has finally made her announcement that she has started an exploratory committee. The Democratic primary is bound for entertainment, excitement, and quite possibly a new leader of the free world. As of now, we have Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama, and possibly Gov. of New Mexico Bill Richardson running for the White House. If any one of these highly visible politicians were elected to President, our nation would be breaking new ground by having either the first woman, African-American, or Latino as president.

I ask the same question previous presidents have asked, "Are you better off now then you were six years ago?" Although the country has seen tremendous obstacles in the last six years specifically 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, I believe we as a nation have taken the wrong path to prosperity. The economy is worse since Bill Clinton left office, the world's view on America is at an all time low, the nation is running up the largest deficit in our history, the American people have been lied to constantly by officials in Washington, etc.

It's time for change. Apparently the Republicans with George Bush running the show could not manage the job of president. If we want someone to make a positive difference in this nation it is time to throw out the old and start with a fresh perspective, someone like Hillary Clinton. You go girl!

Ney Goes To Jail

Former Ohio Republican Representative Bob New was sentenced to 30 months in jail and to pay a $6,000 fine. Ney pleaded guilty to his involvement with Jack Abramoff. Bob Ney admitted to accepting expensive trips, meals, campaign donations for political favors. Ney blames his wrong doing because of his addition to alcohol. This maybe partially true, yet I think he was more addicted to the perks of being a high public official who could be treated like a king because of his position in the Federal government.

Is 30 months in jail that great of a punishment? Considering he knew what he was doing was wrong and that he disappointed many of his constituents I think this punishment could have been harsher. Ney's constituents are still getting screwed. Taxpayers are still going to be paying Ney's pension. Ney goes to jail and is still making good money off of the public. Now that should be considered a crime in itself.

Lindsay Lohan The Drunk

Lindsay Lohan finally admits she is a alcoholic. Well she might not have exactly said she was a worthless drunk, but she has admitted herself to into Rehab. It's about time. I thought she was on a path of Britney Spears and would soon be showing the world what exists below her belt.

In a statement issued Wednesday through her publicist Lohan said, "I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health. I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time." Considering she has been accused of being a drunk for over a year is this really a proactive decision. Maybe she considers it proactive since she isn't 21 yet. This is just another case of who the hell cares. I don't, but perhaps I will get a few hits on my blog since I am writing about a favorite in the media.
