1.Update on the candidates running for President in 2012/Iowa Straw Poll- For democratic is Obama and Randal Terry. THe Iowa stroll poll is where republicans come to ames and they get voted for who the people like the best.2. South Sudan-DONE3. Libya-DONE4. US Supreme Court and videogames-DONE5. New York and gay marriage-DONE6. Drawdown in Afghanistan-DONE7. Al-Zawahri and al-Qaeda-DONE8. US debt ceiling crisis-problem and solution- Problem=Interest on u.s.a debt; social security; Medicare( which is mostly for older people); and medicade. A big concern with social security is that their is more retired people in America then their is people working. But, the BIGGEST reason (or a big majority of it) is interest. Because you borrow money over a long period of time, you want to pay it back as soon as you can. It really doesn't help or go to anyone it's like wasted money. If we don't figgure out this debt problem by 2020. Solutuion= the two options are....1) Cutting programs like small programs that would not make America go crazy without. 2) Increasing taxes which i dont think anyone wants that to happen because first off the politicians would not get voted in again and the peopole surely dont want that!9. NFL lockout-problem and solution-DONE10. US/French Embassies attacked in Syria- people are protesting and trying to get their government to step down. THere are pro-government people and then there are the rebels. The french embassy is helping out and they got attacked not by a bomb but with things like tomatoes. Syria and Libya are in similiar situations. We accused the Syria government of egging the people on.11. Famine in Somalia-THey are in one of your worst droughts in the last 60 years and on top of that they were already low on food. The UN declared a state of famine on SE somalia. And down in SE somalia there are people that are kind of paired up with Al-Queda. 3 million were in need of help; 100 of 1000 have died and soon there will be millions that will need dire help. This country has not had a government since 1992 so because of that you see craziness within the people. The terrorists have pretty much taken over and will not let the people get food; they are pretty much torturing them. El Shabab is an al-queda linked orgnaization that is control of that country= the problem. The people feel it's better to die than to let people in and take over their country.12. Norway incident- This crazy guy put a car bomb by one of their capitol buildings and killed 8 people and injured 20 more. To top it off, he dressed as a cop and acting like he was a cop and gathered people around after the bombing and just started shooting people for an hour and killed around 90 people. This is Norway's version of "Oklahamo City" which happend in 1995 and around the same thing occured.13. Women's World Cup-look at history of Women's World Cup and results- It started in 1991 for woman. There has been a total of 6 tournaments because it happens every four years. Germany won twice, Norway once, and U.s.a twice(shoulda been three if you saw that last game this year). It took 61 years for woman to get the world cup rather than men. Because the status of woman back then was a low standard.
