Christine O'Donnell

This woman has gathered a lot of attention in the candidates races, everything from Wolf Blitzer on CNN to Stephen Colbert on his report, mostly for this ad. For example (and entertainment), check out this SNL parody. And for the record, I can see where people found those accusations worth digging up.

However, it was what she said in the Youtube video that I saw today which shocked me the most. I absolutely agreed with her standing on allowing schools to teach whatever theory of the origins of life that they want, holding that a religious belief being represented in school is not the same as being forced down a kid's throat. Maybe a little more explanation of multiple theories would lead children to be better informed and equipped for the questions that they will encounter in the future. In my opinion this is not a violation of separation of church and state, but O'Donnell hadn't thought that far. She apparently didn't even know that there was an amendment about separation of church and state. Either that or she got too caught up in the debate. (Watch this video for the first half, you can ditch it after that).

International news

I really like reading the BBC, and thankfully Mozilla builds on my preferences. So here's to today's news coming from a source with its own preferences but not nearly the same bias as either Fox or the Comm. News Network.

North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il promoted his son with no military experience to the rank of 4-star general. Not really any surprise here, it seems to be a tradition, but you would think that the country itself should be worried about having a leader without any leadership experience. We're talking about a country whose party hasn't even met in 30 years! I know that the press there is limited, but still you would think that someone would be a bit concerned, especially as families go hungry while the government toys around with missiles that have yet to accomplish anything beyond ticking China and Japan off.

Actress Emma Johnson also made the top of my list today as she got a full article from BBC on her criticism of those who fail to use correct language in their every day speaking. It's ironic for a web-based news article to criticize poor language for which the internet is partially to blame. And yet I applaud her for her efforts today.

I would think it'd be very embarrassing to one of the women testifying to being duped into sex with a girl because they thought she was a man. And who knew you could actually be tried for fraudulent sex?

Finally, my thoughts and prayers are with the traumatized students and staff at the University of Texas. Football dislike aside, I wish the best for you.

Best report on the Russians

Just in case you were looking for a good report related to the Russian spy arrests, check out the Daily Show. Even CNN was quoting them on this, in case you can believe that. You'll additionally hear some funny things related to Kagan's reviews.

Fantastic

That's not how I feel exactly... but I'm getting there. I'm almost done with this presentation and with it ends all other true responsibilities for the week. Sure, I have a lot of other stuff to do, but it's all fun.

This is my last plug for the Relay for Life. Please go to my facebook page if you know me, or comment under here if you don't, and I will find a way for you to donate to my walk in support of cancer research

Also, in case you wondered if CNN was the only terrible news station.

Also. Dear google blog. You are hating on my links. Please let them start working?

P.S. (4.29.2011) - Links correct on here as well.
