Since we now have a new president ...some political humor might be in store. The following is a funny and true story occurring in an AP Government class at Santa Fe High School.
In one civics class, the young adults were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States . It was pretty simple.The candidate must be a natural born citizen and at least 35 years of age.
However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals...

US president-elect Barack Obama today warned that the ailing economy could crumble and take years to recover if Congress fails to enact a package of major economic stimulus measures, in remarks meant to goad legislators reluctant to commit to billions more for public spending and reassure uneasy voters that he is prepared to take dramatic action.
In a speech at George Mason University in suburban Washington this morning, he said that massive spending is necessary to stave off disaster, while acknowledging public scepticism in the face of budget deficits set to top $1tn per year.

As if Things Weren't Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S. In Moscow, Igor Panarin's Forecasts Are All the Rage; America 'Disintegrates' in 2010
By ANDREW OSBORN
MOSCOW -- For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument -- that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. -- very seriously.

The amount of wealth that vanished under Bernard Madoff is roughly equal to that lost to burglars and thieves in the U.S. over 3 years. What punishment fits such a crime?
By Scott Burns January 05, 2009 Media accounts immediately labelled the disappearance of $50 billion, masterminded by Bernard Madoff, as the largest fraud in history.
It is a greater wealth loss than having one of many household-name companies -- such as Walt Disney (DIS.N), 3M (MMM.N) or Boeing (BA.N) -- vanish without a trace.
