Recently I read a very touching article. An 11 year old boy name Brendan Foster who is terminally ill with leukemia made a very selfless last wish. Brendan shows courage knowing in his last week of living he will die soon. His whole family says he's wise beyond his years and are extremely proud to have him in their family. When he got his last wish it was to feed the homeless but since he was too ill to leave his bed he had people got out in seattle and all the cities nearby and give sandwiches . His mother says he is creating a legacy and he has done more than some people have in their lives in short time here. His mother also goes on to say his live has meaning and gives Brendan great peace to know his wish came true. Before dying in his mother arms he said he was amazed how such a young boy could make a difference. This story is very touching and it shows anyone can make a difference, even if it is just making a wish.

In a recent article I read, police are still searching for the person who shot one man to death and critically injured another in Tukwila, Washington. The incident happened in a mall where a group of 18-20 year olds got into a fight and then one man pulled out a gun and fired off about six or seven shots. Almost everyone evacuated the mall while ambulances came to help the victims. Not only did the people who got shot get rushed from the mall to hospital, but a woman was going into labor as well as a man with a neck injury. This night was filled with chaos as a S.W.A.T. searched the stores to find the shooter and they ended up nabbing two men for questioning but unfortunately neither was the shooter. Authorities in the area are still searching for suspects and the mall is scheduled to open again soon.

I read an article today about how two neo-nazis attempt to kill 88 black people and Barrack Obama were thwarted when they tried to drive up and shoot Obama. The men planned to dress in all white tuxedos and drive by shooting Obama, they also stated they were willing to die in this attack. The police seized weapons from the nazis including a rifle, sawn off shotguns and 3 pistols they were planning to rob a local gun store for more as seen in their elaborate plans. The men also stated they planned to go from state to state and kill people of color. Also the numbers 14 and 88 were found in their plans and have some significance in the nazi culture. Also an officer said, the men seemed to be determined to kill Obama. Also no one knows which black school they were planning to attack and there is no evidence that they have anyone else involved in their plot. This article is messed up and scary I got it here http://news.aol.com/article/feds-bust-skinhead-plot-to-kill-obama/227448?icid=100214839x1211582832x1200777832

Today I read a ridiculous article about a woman in Florida who choose to go to jail rather than pay for a $7.45 bill! Yeah I know sounds crazy right, well yeah it is and its true. Her name is Maryanne O'nieil and shes a 66 year old Florida resident of Fort Pierce who is completely nuts. She went into a waffle house and ordered a sandwich and coffee and then refused to the $7 and .45cent bill. When she refused to pay the bill a police officer said pay or go to jail and she chose jail. She had to stay for a few days but then was released and was charged with obtaining food with intent to defraud which is a misdemeanor and if had been a bigger amount of money she could have had a $500 fine. Or she would have had to spend 60 days in jail. I think that old lady is nuts and stupid for choosing jail. haha

In an article I read, I found out that Oscar winner jennifer hudson's south of chicago city home was shot up on friday. Her brother and mother were shot to death while her nephew is still missing and chicago police are going 24 hours a day on this case trying to find him and the people who did this. On sunday they had a funeral and the community and other people showed support for the actress and her family. The case was ruled a homicide but the police department has no leads but is still searching her house for forensic evidence. Jennifer Hudson and her family offered a $100,000 reward for the safe return of her 7 year old nephew julian. Police say there were no weapons found at the home and there are no suspects so far but they will not stop until they find them. My take on this is that its very sad and a tragedy this happened to someone. i found the article here.http://www.popeater.com/article/hudson-offers-100000-reward-for-missing/225359?cid=35

In the recent article I read, it was about an John McCain campaign worked who claims to have been attacked at an ATM by an Obama supporter. In pittsburg a girl claimed to have been beating and robbed by a Obama supporter, the worst part is she lied. She is being charged with false reports to police and now is making the McCain and Palin campaign look bad. There was even a backwards letter B that was she claimed to be carved in her face by the man who "attacked" her. This election is starting to get too nuts. It seems she was trying to make the Obama supporters look bad when all she really did was make McCain's campaign look worse. She basically made the McCain supports look like liars. I found the article here http://www.switched.com/2008/10/26/twittering-mccain-supporter-lied-about-attack/

Recently I read an article about the 2008 presidential election from John McCain standpoint. In the article it said how McCain is 13 points behind democrat Barrack Obama. But they McCain thinks he can pull through and by nov.4th he said he will be fully ahead and will win the election. In the article is says the McCain is trailing ahead in a lot of states and now in Iowa as of october 24th. John McCain goes on to say Obama is big spending liberal and has a different political philosophy. The article also talks about how close the election will be but McCain still stands very confident and he says there is no doubt he will win. McCain is now headed to University of Iowa for Iowa then to Ohio. Here is the link to the article http://news.aol.com/elections/article/im-going-to-win-it-mccain-says/226038
