Military And NFL!

Do you all remember when the Detroit Lions drafted Caleb Campbell?  He was the seventh-round draft pick for the Lions in this year’s draft.  Now the U.S Military is changing their policy to place him back to full-time traditional military duties.  The Army had a policy that would have let him take the role as a recruiter.  The Army sent a letter to the Detroit Lions stating that Campbell would has been ordered to give up professional football.  So he can server in more of an active Army role.  The Army also stated that he could ask to be released in May of 2010.  So I guess their will be no more players being drfted from the Army and Navy teams.

McDonald’s Stock Up!

McDonald’s – which is the world’s largest restaurant chain had a higher second-quarter profit than expected.  They had a net income of $1.2 billion, which comes out to $1.04 per share.  The same period last year they lost around $711 million.  Now let me tell you the real reason why their stock will continue to rise.  It’s a no brainier; no one can afford to eat out anymore.  That dollar menu looks great after you just spend $100 to fill your car up.  As long as gas prices remain high no one will be at those sit-down restaurants.  It also seems like that eating off the dollar menu is cheaper than eating at home.
