Summary
Jose Oswaldo Sucuzhanay, an Ecuadorean immigrant was brutally killed near his home in Brooklyn on December 7th. Sucuzhanay was a 31 year old real estate agent. He was attacked by a group of men who shouted anti-Latino and anti-gay slurs as they kicked him and beat him with an aluminum baseball bat. He died after five days in a coma. NYC police are still looking for the three suspects. Many people in southern Ecuador have relatives in the U.S. and the attack caused a wave of fear. Lawmakers and Hispanic groups have denounced Sucuzhanay's death, recent killings have led to the call to pass new hate crime laws.
Opinion
I heard about this on the news. There has been many Hispanic killings that have taken place. I think it is due to the high unemployment in the U.S. Many Hispanics will work harder and for less and that causes frustration between the other races. It doesn't give them a right by all means to kill them, but i think that is what is causing this high tension. I think that during these economic times we should have a very strict limit on how many immigrants we allow into the United States.

Riot, hostage situation end at Texas prison
Summary
Inmates of a Western Texas detention center started a riot and set a fire in the facility on Saturday. The warden of the Reeves County Detention Center refused to comment on the riot. Teams of law enforcement officers gained control and returning the facility to prison personnel. No law enforcement personnel were injured. In an act to get better medical treatment Inmates who included immigration detainees took two prison employees hostage after starting the riot. A negotiator was called in to take inmates. Also fire crews and additional law enforcement were called to the prison facility. The prison holds more than 2,400 inmates.
Opinion
What i think that sparked this riot was the frustration of illegal immigrants being allowed into the U.S. Plus they were asking for better medical treatment makes you think of the health care in the United States for the immigrants. Gladly no one was injured. I think that the U.S. should quit housing so many immigrants in our prisons. I think it would be a good idea to send them back to their country where they can be held in prison because those kind of people are taking our tax money that could be used towards something of greater value.

Ill. governor arrested on corruption charges
summary
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday for trying to sell his senate seat. This was found by the FBI wiretapping. He also said that he got was trying to get his wife on corporate boards where she could earn about $150,000 on fees alone. But the governor has denied any wrongdoing. Blagojevich, 51, and Harris, 46, both from Chicago, were charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. He was also charged with illegally threatening to withhold state assistance to Tribune Co., the owner of the Chicago Tribune, in the sale of Wrigley Field. And in return for this Blagojevich wanted his critics fired.
Opinion
This Governor is clearly corrupt. I think that he has some sort of addiction to money. I mean we all do to an extent. Most people want more money but when you go out of your way, break the law, corrupt your purpose in the U.S. Government, there is a problem. I don't understand why all these wealthy people are trying to get more and more money. They are so greedy and take and never give back. Which is a serious problem with our economy because the wealthy are not filtering the money back into the economy.

Police arrest aunt in Calif. shackled teen case
Summary
Police arrested Caren Ramirez the aunt of a 17 year old boy who showed up at a gym with shackles on his feet and had clearly been tortured. She was arrested for abusing the boy. Child services then took the boy and put into a foster home which he fled. The boy was missing until monday when he showed up at the gym. Kelly Layne Lau and Michael Shumacker were arrested for torture after the boy had showed up in the fitness center and clearly was afraid someone was going to come after him. How the boy escaped is yet to be known.
Opinion
What this aunt did was terrible to abuse the boy and have him taken away from her only to be put into a foster home where he escaped and was abducted and tortured. I don't know what would drive a person to want to torture a 17 year old boy when they had kids of their own and seemed to be very family oriented. I think that these people should be locked up for life. This is a huge crime that should not have been committed. These people are sick in the head and need some mental help to have tortured this boy.

Mom: Murder suspect, 8, 'loved his dad'
Summary
An 8 year old Arizona boy shot and killed his father and his fathers' housemate. The mother of the 8 year old boy said she saw a scared little boy. That he is a typical 8 year old who likes to ride his dirt bike, skateboard and be a typical kid. The video of his confession reveals that he confessed to what he did and to protect him his mother said that he loved his father very much and that they spent a lot of time together. Saying they were very close and the boy acted on fear. The judge of this case plans to release the boy to spend thanksgiving with his mother and then go back to being held.
Opinion
Well this is a very shady case in my opinion. If the boy was so close to his father why would he shoot him. I dont know if the mother is trying to protect him or if she is in denial. I think that she is leading the public to believe that maybe the father did something terrible to the boy and he was scared so he decided to shoot and kill his father. But on the video the boy didn't seem like her knew what he has done. He played it off to be a casual deal. I think that something is unresolved in this case. I think there needs to be a further investigation.

Candidates follow debate with attack TV ads
Summary
The day after John McCain's and Barrack Obama's debate, the two are attacking each other. They continue to attack each other through T.V. ads. McCain says that Obama is risking lives by voting against a war spending bill in May 2007. And Obama replies by saying that he is not voting against the funding for troops but the with drawl of them. Then Obama comes back to bash McCain by telling the people that in the debate McCain had a lot of stuff to say about me but nothing about you. He never used the words working class or middle class. In an attempt to reach the middle and working class that John McCain is not the right man for the job.
Opinion
Like Holea Bruggemen i absolutely get sick and tired of presidential ads on the T.V. It really doesn't effect my view on the other candidate because half the time its a bunch of inaccurate information. My opinion is similar to Holeas opinion. I believe that the presidential candidates should focus more on themselves than the others flaws. Its important that we get this country back on track. And living in the middle class i think that whoever represents the middle class better would affect my vote very much so.

Sen. Ted Stevens Convicted on 7 Corruption Counts, Pledges to Pursue Campaign
Summary
Senator Tod Stevens who was convicted of 7 corruption counts believes that the verdict was a disappointment but isn't suprised due to the prosecutional misconduct used in the case. Stevens says that he will fight this with all of his energy. Stevens later says that he is inncocent and only pleaded guilty due to the misconducted of the trial. Stevens says to the public that he is coming home and he asks for your vote.
Opinion
I agree with Marvin Wensman on this issue. I also believe that this issue will cost Stevens his reelection and his campaign will also be shattered. It already has been a difficult race against the democratic canidate Mark Begich. He was being projected to win and now with this issue at hand, i believe strongly that Begich will win in a huge margin. I also agree with Marvin that this isn't a huge deal given the issues of our economy at hand right now. The press needs to stop trying to find negatives but thats going to happen no matter what. Our economic situation is far more important than this issue.

Obama says he didn't know aunts illegal status
Summary
On Saturday Presidential canidate Barrack Obama said that he did not know anything about his aunts illegal status in the United States. Zeituni Onyango, is the half sister of Obamas late father. She is native of Kenya was supposed to leave the United States four years ago. Is living in public housing the Boston. Obama says that all of the laws will be followed. Obamas campaign was quick to respond in saying that Obama had no knowledge of his aunts illegal status here in the U.S.
Opinion
I think that this might drive some people away from Obama. It kind of makes Obama seem more of an outsider. He may not have known about his aunts status or he could have and made some adjustments so that she could stay in America. I am not sure what it is but i think that Obama might lose a few votes with this issue coming up so close to the election. It also shows that America is full of diversity and that diversity might not help him win presidency. He definatly has a different background than most of our former presidents and that may be what we need, or it may not.

McCain: What it Takes
Summary
One of the biggest issues facing America is national security. McCain asked this question would Obama make you feel safe. McCain's attacks to Barrack Obama have proven otherwise in the polls. But in the Los Angeles Times Obama is said to have paid tribute to a Palestinian Scholar. The editors of the Times tried to get the connection between Rashid Khalidi and Obama but couldn't show a video due to a confidential promise. The New York times later states that the video shows a gathering in Chicago for Khalidi who is a friend of Obama and critical to Israel.
Opinion
I certainly like a few aspects of Obama and his campaign but i don't know if he is the most qualified candidate for the job. He has no experience with military which is huge. And with all these links to the middle east makes a unsteady feeling. I know America is "Paranoid" about terrorists and we associate the middle east with terrorism but if Obama wants to make so many friends do it in countries we already allied and have a past with. Much of the middle east is run but the Taliban and I am not saying Obama is a terrorist at all but like i said. I don't think America would be in the best hands given the information at hand.

Officials: Taliban fighters ambush, kill bus passengers
Summary
On Sunday the Taliban kidnapped and killed around 30 to 40 bus passengers. They were said to be civilians. Then the Taliban spokes person said they had killed around 27 Afghan soldiers. Who is to believe? It all happened last Thursday in Mai wand district of southern Kandahar Province. This area is very dangerous and heavily controlled by the Taliban. The Taliban spokes man said that the 27 soldiers were traveling by bus but the Afghan general said that no soldiers travel by bus they always fly.
Opinion
This is a serious problem that the U.S. has been trying to help with. The Taliban controls most of Afghanistan and if we pull out things will only get worse and we could be looking at another terrorist attack. The Taliban lied about killing the civilians. This terrorist group needs to be controlled and dealt with before it gets out of hand or else innocent people will be continued to be killed. It is very important that we show our support to the Afghan general and their soldiers as they are trying to establish their own democracy.

Bush: We're Going to Get Through This
Summary
Even though we are going through very tough times right now, Bush is confident that our economy will recover just like it has in the past. The $700 billion bailout was passed by Congress last week and it was immediately signed into law by Bush. "Its very much against my Policy" said Bush. He believes in free enterprise. People who make bad decisions in business should fail. But he said failure would have cost us. The Federal Reserve said on Tuesday about a radical plan to buy massive amounts of short-term debts in effort to break through a credit clog that is taking over the U.S. economy.
Opinion
It shows character that Bush is upbeat and confident but to be honest i don't think he feels some of the people's pain. I also think that its important that the government step in and do something about our dwindling economy. Hopefully the bailout plan works as it is projected to work. I like the radical plan to buy a lot of short term debts to get us out of this credit clog. Because that problem will effect us next year. From the way it looks right now it may be impossible to get a student loan to pay for college. And many colleges credit has frozen already and it is effecting many students.

Bush: 'Our entire economy is in danger'
Summary
Yesterday President Bush put forth his plan to help stimulate the economy and drive it back up. The president started by saying "our entire economy is in danger." The stock market has dropped. The federal government will buy $700 billion to buy up mortgages. The government will then hang on to those mortgages and then sell them once they are at there wanted value. The money will then be flowed back into the treasury and the economy. Bush said that they hope most if not all the taxpayers money will be returned. The rescue plan is not aimed to help individual companies. Bush is a strong believer in free enterprise but with the given conditions government action is needed.
Opinion
I learned that 70% of Americans do not want this plan to happen. I am one of the 30% that do want this to happen. With the economy is such a downfall and spiralling i believe that government intervention is needed. It is proven that the economy will not recover fast enough on its own. So with the tax payers money the President plans to help the economy grow. I also believe that with this action taking place our economy will see a change maybe not right away but to prevent a recession that not only scar us but our children and our children's children. I believe in free enterprise also but like Bush said with the given situation government needs to take action.

Details emerge in Palin e-mail hacking
Summary:
Last Thursday vice presidential canidate for McCain, Sarah Palin's email was hacked into. The hacker has been identified and is unwilling to comment. All the hacker said was "I am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story." The hacker said that it started as a prank but due to the panic by the FBI it became much more than that. Gabriel Ramuglia operates an internet anonymity service which the hacker had used. Since the hacker used the service illegally and broke rules Ramuglia is willing to cooperate.
Opinion:
I think that the vice presidential canidate Sarah Palin should have a more complex e-mail password that cannot be obtained through security questions. It is very important that the wrong people don't get their hands on things like email passwords and such. Luckly the hacker was just a pranker that didn't do any serious damage that i think would influence Palin and McCain's campaign. Critics have just been looking for improper political activity to use against Palin, but i think that the people to blame here is either Yahoo or Ramuglia. If someone was trying to hack Sarah Palin's email, Ramuglia should have stepped in and saw that this was wrong. The service that provided the hacker should be shut down immediatly to eliminate the chance for it to happen again.

Obama Rejects Bush Iraq Withdrawl Plan
President Bush says that he is going to withdraw troops from Iraq but keep them "intact" until the next president takes over. Obama's concern is that the "American people will continue to pay $10 billion while the Iraqi Government sits on $79 billion surplus." Obama says that McCain says he is all about change but McCain believes in the same foreign policy as Bush does. Also that "McCain will continue the overwhelming focus on Iraq that has taken our eye off the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11."
I believe in what Bush is doing. To slowly ease our troops out of Iraq because if we pull all of them out right away it would be a drastic change for the Iraqi government. If something were to happen we wouldn't be there to help maintain order and we would be right back where we were. I think that taxpayers are more happy to support our troops over in Iraq than to pay more taxes on things that we don't really need to worry about right now. But at the same time its crucial that we do start to back out of Iraq. We have given a lot to the Iraqi government and helped them to be strong against terrorism. We cannot fight this war forever. I strongly believe that we haven't taken our eye off Afghanistan. We haven't had any threats or haven't heard much from Al Queda or Bin Laden.
