iPads and iPods. Worthy of school?

Of course they are! iPods are no longer just mp3 players, but multimedia devices. While a touchscreen keyboard is no substitute for a real keyboard, a little extra hardware, and the right app can make an iP(o/a)d one of the greatest learning tools. The iPad has an online bookstore, which could possibly incorporate school textbooks in the future. Also, with the popularity of the internet, and the introduction of a Netflix-like online library, you would have an easy to use book-viewing tool perfect for reading classes. Also, seeing as most of the iPod games aren't worth playing, students wouldn't have that much of a problem with distractions. Final answer, iPods are great for school, they just have to be implemented correctly.

Crack, Cocaine, and Mary-Jane, Oh My!

The President of Mexico, Felipe Caulderon, has declared war on the drug cartels in Mexico. Drug war problems in Mexico have been a serious problem,The Juarez, Tijuana, and Beltrán Leyva Cartels are some of the most recognizable cartels.  One of the most recognizable, La Familia, has stated through letters and assorted media that they would postpone all activity through January to prove that they are not responsible for problems in Mexico. The Mexican drug cartels are smuggling guns out of the U.S., but at the same time smuggling drugs into the United States. These actions cause about 30,000 deaths every year in Mexico. In my honest opinion, how anyone could live there is beyond me.

Presidency is Not Important

Even if President Obama only makes $400,000 a year as opposed to Sidney Crosby with $9,000,000, Mr. President gets a lot of perks not available to the general public. Like the President could probably go run around the mall wearing only underwear and not get in trouble. While it would make people question the reliability of who they voted for, he would still have those other 2 years of leading us. Whereas if an athlete did that, not only would he go to jail, it would probably wouldn't look as bad seeing as athletes get into legal trouble all the time.

Dear Santa,

Now that I am of age to take this whole ordeal seriously, we can talk on equal terms. Santa, I know how your operations are going. I set up several battalions around the perimeter of your northern base. And don't even try to escape with your "magic sled" as we also have cannons stationed outside your base. Now for the demands... I'm going to need some toed shoes. Not to mention some gift cards so I can buy more things and you don't even have to give a thought. Last thing would be a 1080p definition LCD TV. You better heed my demands or Mrs. Claus and the elves are gonna be sent back in candy-bags! I'm sorry it had to come to this but you have eluded me for too long. No longer will I be discriminated for being on the Naughty List. Thanks in advance for working with us.

Sincerely, Walker Williams

P.S. Don't try to pull anything next year, I've got a list of my own, and checking it twice!

Airport Security, Yay or Nay?

To be honest, I'm with the screening and pat downs. Albeit I am probably biased seeing as I don't travel much by plane. Precautionary measures should be taken to prevent a terrorist attack. It is a serious invasion of privacy, but whatever it takes to ensure the safety and security of our country.

Ambrosial

Turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, oh my! Thanksgiving is right around the corner meaning we're going to be eating good and writing blogs about it. Its a given that I'm thankful for family members(rarely), the whichever food I'm eating at the moment, and the invention of chocolate milk. Runner ups in the thankfulness challenge could be electricity, computers, THE INTERNET, my ultra-soft bed, my truck, the Thanksgiving break, and the moon for reasons not listed.

Wanna buy so-*cough* *cough* some cigs man?...

You could have pictures on the back of every box, an all out ad campaign against it, or even pass a bill to make it illegal, There will always be people who will use cigarettes. When those people get cigarettes, they can suppress almost anything. Even at the back of their mind they might be telling themselves to stop, but its an addiction. People know cigarettes are bad, they just don't know how bad. Don't smoke, or Smokey the bear will hunt you down and bite you right in the jugular.
