The Rally to Restore Sanity

Last weekend on October 30 in Washington, D.C., comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert from comedy central held a rally to restore sanity in America. “They were taking it upon themselves to say America is making itself look ridiculous,” as Time Magazine wrote. I must say, I agree with this. Lately, people seem to be a little on the crazy side. Koran burners, witches trying to get elected, sliding down a slide with beers to quit work…it’s a little insane. The rally featured comedy acts, Mythbusters experiments, and many musical performances. Although the rally was a lot of fun, that wasn’t the main purpose. The comedians wanted to get young people more interested in politics and voting. There was a great turn out of 250,000 people. The rally had a good patriotic purpose while still being fun and energetic. Maybe there should be more upbeat rallies like this instead of the nasty political games and bashing opponents that seems to be the strategy now a days.

Drugs Found

On Wednesday October 6, 2010 it was found 42 pounds of loose buds of marijuana. The marijuana was situated in Brimfield, Portage County. Agents from the Portage County Drugs Task Force and the DEA with Portage County sheriff’s deputies followed an access road into the woods just west of the 3000 block of Ranfield Road. The police found that the marijuana was in a public recreation area and reservoir owned by the city of Akron. In the area the suspect was a Hispanic who lived in a tent camouflage by brush next to the field. The marijuana had a value of $788,000. It grew from 8 to 10 inches long. According to the drugs task commander Pat Burns people who cultivate this kind of plants don’t grow it in their own land but in public areas.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell

The Obama administration urged a federal judge on Thursday to let the military press on with its "don't ask, don't tell" ban on gays serving openly in the military. Still, President Barack Obama insisted the policy should end. The “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy is a military policy that prohibits open gays from serving in the military. Their superiors aren’t aloud to question their sexuality but members can be thrown out for talking about being gay. I believe that this policy should be banned because it is unconstitutional to treat people different because of how they choose to live.

Cavs Fans or A Lebron Fan?

I Greg McMullen would like to talk about one of the biggest uproars in basketball history “The Decision” an hour special in which Superstar Lebron James made his ultimate decision to leave Cleveland, Ohio. Moments after making this decision fans started to burn his jersey and ridicule him making shirts that said Lying King. Although many were divested by this decision I felt that Lebron shouldn’t have gotten this type of negative heat thrown at him by his ex fans of Cleveland and Akron. What most do not realize is that single handedly Lebron made the gun and now know as the “Q” sellout numerous times and set multiple records in his 7 year career with Cavs including MVP of the NBA. To conclude on this topic about “The decision” which were you Cavs Fans or A Lebron Fan?
