The ESA and Polar Bears

The Endangered Species Act is not helping the polar-bears. Obama is helping create new laws, acts, and rules to help the polar bears. The acts currently in effect say, "help the polar bears". This is the problem because it is too vague. With Obama's help, people who have no idea how to "save the polar-bears" and just know how to work on power plants, will be told to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions of their plant or to use renewable energy for their power plant. I think that the law to not use the endangered species act to effect the U.S. is a good law, but not in the way George W. Bush thought it. Obama will make new, better rules to help the U.S.! (And the polar bears!)

To embrace $3500 or $4,500 to every body who replaces an old, low-efficiency car with a newer more fuel-efficient car.

World's Oldest Dog Has B-day

Today the world's oldest dog had its birthday. Chenel is turning 21! Chenel is a doxen who recently became world's oldest dog when a 28 year old beagle died. Unfortunately, Chenel never leaned how to beg. She is very difficult to take care of because of her very brittle bones. Her hair has even turned white she's so old! She has to wear special doggie glasses because of her cataracts. She now only takes walks in the summer and gets carried most of the way. She used to walk three miles every day. It's amazing that she's still alive!

The Truth About Swine Flu

Some people are saying that swine flu comes from pig farmers mistreating their pigs. One report says that a huge pig farm has many holes filled with pig waste, blood, and dead pigs. Some pigs are processed for other pigs to eat. All of the others are processed and sold for people to eat. From now on think twice before eating pig!!              -Ivy

Twelfth Night -- Logan

Last night I went to Winedale with my dad. We saw Twelfth Night. I recognized the scenes that we acted out well. The man who played Malvolio and the woman who played Sir Toby (LOL!!!) were, in my opinion, the best actors. It was very funny, esp. Malvolio yelling at everyone in cross-gartered yellow stockings.

Chrysler Goes Down

Obama, having pushed Chrysler into bankruptcy, hopes that he can make GM better. Yet, officials claim that it will be politically harder to change* GM. For Chrysler, they didn’t view the government’s decision for much because they were already going bankrupt. But for GM, Obama will be enforcing GM’s policies and become the Head Shareholder of GM, once a self-controlling company.
