Inauguration

So the Inauguration date is inside of a week away and I don' t even want to find out what Obama's first move is. I'm not saying that I am a McCain supporter, because I'm not. In November it was obvious to me that Obama was going to win the election, as my history teacher said "the Democrats could have nominated Mickey Mouse and he could have won," yet people who liked McCain were trying to tell me that the Indonesian school Obama went to required citizenship in the country, and that the U.S. "frowns upon" the idea that someone has multiple citizenships. On that note, how would our ambassadors be able to serve overseas, or does diplomatic immunity apply to citizenship as well? The anti-Obama people also said that he was originally from Kenya, not Hawaii, which isn't true. His father was from Kenya and he came over to America and lived in Kansas, where he met Mrs. Obama and they had Barack. His father then went back to Kenya, or something or other like that, and Barack and his mother went to live with his grandmother in Hawaii, were he recently visited to see his grandmother.

NFL Playoffs

Do the Eagles have a chance of winning tomorrow's game against the Giants? I say no, but if their running game is good, they might do better than anyone expects. Which means that Brian Westbrook needs to be as close to one hundred percent as possible. Once you get past that realism, you turn to Eli and how well he could throw the ball tomorrow. He should complete 40-50% of his passes and that would help put the game away in favor of the G men.

I would also take Pittsburgh over the Chargers, but that's only because the Chargers beat my favorite team, the Broncos, to get there. So Big Ben is hurting/injured, so what he could beat these guys with half the talent he has now.

Israel's invasion

Since the Israelis gave Gaza Strip to the Muslims, it has been nothing but an all-out brawl. First, the Arabs demanded that the U.N. security council step in and gain control of the situation. Now, all of Europe is getting into it and protesting the Israeli invasion. Although it was the Hamas that started this fiasco when they began firing rockets into Israel after Israel was kind enough to give them the Strip. And the New York Times says that now Israel has warned the residents of Gaza that it is preparing its next step, which would be a deeper ground force operation in the war against Hamas. The death toll is reported to have reached 800 now, with most of the casualties being civilians.
