Speaking of Natural Disasters...

A large piece of my "catch-up" blog was devoted to natural disasters. Just yesterday another natural disaster occurred. This time, a huge earthquake rocked China with a 7.9 magnitude. It has killed over 10,000 people with many others certainly trapped beneath mounds of rubble. Should we start paying more acute attention to these freak storms or is this a coincidence?

I'll keep you posted.

It's Alive! Notable News is Fixed!!!

I was having some major technical difficulties with good ole Notable News but now we are up and running.

Here's a synopsis of what has been happening;

Severe storms have rocked the world as the devastating cyclone hit Myanmar, leaving over 23,000 dead and some 37,000 still missing. The May 2nd cyclone is the worst natural disaster the world has seen since the 2004 Tsunami.

On the home front, storms have torn the Midwest apart. Tornadoes have been the killer in states such as Missouri and Oklahoma, leaving a path of devastation and death behind them. The most recent storm in Missouri killed at least 20 people.

The Election of 2008 is coming closer and closer! A new super delegate count by The Associated Press has Democratic hopeful Barack Obama ahead of rival Hillary Clinton. Could this be the first step towards a black man, white woman, president-vice president tag team? Both parties are avoiding those questions.

In other presidential news, current President George Bush walked daughter Jenna Bush down the aisle in her marriage to longtime boyfriend Henry Hager at the family ranch in Crawford, TX. It was a private affair, unlike many other presidential marriages.

That seems to be the big stuff for this weekend- look for another post tomorrow since we're all fixed- yay!
