German Robots

(retrieved from http://cheezburger.com/View/3517259264)

Germany's Chancellor has offered the Japanese prime minister use of radio controlled equipment to help clean up and repair damage at the Fukishima nuclear reactors. The U.S. has already agreed to send some radiation detecting robots to help explore the area. We can only hope that the German robots and any Japanese robots don't hold a grudge from WW2 against the U.S. robots or else, undoubtedly, it would be World War Three: Robot Style.

There's Something About Libya

From what I gathered about Libya is that the government is corrupt and they have been killing civilians left and right. Now, America has come to save the day along with the U.N. They have established a no-fly zone over Libya which, from what I've heard, basically means war. A lot of people I have heard talking about the subject have said things along the lines of America trying to be the world police. What do you think?

Something Creative About True Grit

When I went into True Grit I wasn't expecting too much. My friend dragged me to it and I figured that it was another western shoot 'em up. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The Coen brothers put together, what I thought, was a wonderful movie. It had all the aspects of a western I wanted but it was also touching and FUNNY. What surprised me was the performance of 14-year-old Hailee Steinfield. This teen successfully performed a very believable Mattie Ross. I give it two thumbs up.

Under a College Rock

When I was told to write about the political protests in the Middle East I honestly didn't know much. I knew there was something going on with Egypt that made any pyramid related joke that I could think of relevant. Other than that I was in the Dark. I was too busy thinking about my play and school to think about things going on across the world.

As it turns out, a good percentage of the countries in the Middle East think their governments suck and they want change. Tunisia, Egypt, and the bloodiest of all, Libya have been in some sort of protests or revolution of a government leader who is doing them wrong. Libya's leader Gadhafi has declared war on his own people and is using fighter jets to shoot down protestors according to http://www.tothecenter.com/.

Having to think about things like these protests makes me think. We are lucky. So what if we disagree with if abortion or gay marriage is legal or illegal? From what I can see, our problems with the government aren't nearly as bad as some people are having it.

PACKERS WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!

Pregamin' for Super Bowl XLV

With the Super Bowl right around the corner what else could I write about?

This Sunday is the 45th anniversary of the big game and it could be one for the ages. Two teams with great winning histories will face off:

The Green Bay Packers of the NFC will be trying to bring the Lombardi Trophy home where it belongs. The trophy, given to the winning team of the big game, is named after the Hall of Fame Packer coach who led the team to win Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II. The last time they won the Lombardi trophy was in 1996 with future Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre.

The Pittsburgh Steelers of the AFC will try to get their two fingers ahead in the Super Bowl ring game. If they win on Sunday they will have won the Lombardi Trophy seven times- that is two more times than any other team in the league. Their most recent Super Bowl wins were in 2005 and 2008.

The analysts have been talking and it seems like the two teams are pretty evenly matched. Both have great quarterbacks. Their defenses are phenomenal with Defensive Player of the Year Troy Polamalu and James Harrison who held third place in the DPOY voting lining up for the Steelers and Clay Matthews who held second place in the DPOY voting and Charles Woodson who held the title last year lining up for the Packers.

Although many Steelers players have some Super Bowl experience I honestly believe that the Packers have all the momentum after making it to the Super Bowl after coming in as a sixth seed. That is my pick for Sunday. What do you expect?

Go Pack Go!!
