Sen. Edward M. Kennedy!

Just read about this. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy was rushed to the hospital this morning.  The true reason why isn’t clear yet.  One person close to the family has stated that he is suffering from stroke-like symptoms.  This person has declined to be named. The spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter did confirm that Kennedy did go to Cape Cod Hospital and then transferred by flight to Massachusetts General Hospital for further testing.  The statement released stated more information would be available soon.  Stop back – I will be writing on this more.

Oil Up Again – $127!

Back to the news.  Oil today reaches another high of almost $128.00 a barrel.  I knew I should have got into oil a few months back.  Any way – On top of that, the stocks are dropping, because of this wild increase in oil.  I hope you all filled up your cars and trucks.  The $4.00 a gal. is right around the corner.  Lets not forget that the cost of food is also out of control.   I can – we can all only hope the second half of this year will be better.

Hamid Karzai Assassination Plot

I was searching around for some good news to report and came across this story about Afghanistan – President Hamid Karzai.  Just a few days ago there was an assassination plot against him, as every should know about now.  Now - here is the crazy thing, he was warned ahead of time of the assassination plot against him.  The Afghanistan’s intelligence chief stated this in a report on Tuesday, while he was admitting that failings by the security services allowed these crazy militants to attack.  Amrullah Saleh told Parliament about what was going to happen and the chance of the plot to kill Karzai, which could have been planned last month.  The crazy gunmen had rented the hotel room where they lauched the attack from.  So, I ask you all – What was everyone thinking?

Continental Airlines Merger!

This just came in on Sunday – Continental Airlines Inc. stated it would not pursue a deal with another carrier at this present time.  Which was a surprising move to most of us because of all this speculation that it would join with United Airlines.  Which could have formed the world’s biggest airline.  Continental Chairman and Chief Executive Lawrence Kellner to let all his employees know in a message that the airline would be much better off on it’s own.  This is really good news for most passengers, because their ticket prices where most likely going to increase.  Looks like we win for now!
