Former Speaker of the House - Newt Gingrich, will not run for president. He decided this when he was not able to raise $30 million he need to run. It is doubtful anyone can win entering this late in the game.
In the current environment of DOWNsizing and OUTsourcing, many workers are DOWN and OUT. Those lucky enough to still have their jobs are forced to work more than forty hours, often sixty hours per week, but not paid overtime. If they complain they are then fired for "performance reasons" and not eligible for unemployment.
Companies not paying overtime. They are using excuses to make people work more and more whle they pay less and less. The result is that many workers that used to be paid hourly are now salary.
Today there was a Republican presidential debate at Howard University. Four candidates, Rudy, Mitt, Fred, and John chose not to appear. The reason is that they do not feel that their views are welcome there.

As business moves from bricks to clicks, more and more movies rental stores are closing down. Movie Gallery closing 520 stores and placing emphasis on getting rid of weak outlets.

NASA has found that most planets near us are gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. Small planets like Earth are rare. There are also no water planets.

The Lion of Iran will roar today in New York. He talks peace, but his actions are to build WMD. How can we believe that he wants atoms for peaceful purposes? Are we that foolish? Only time will tell.
I predict that they will soon be a military confrontation between Israel and Iran. It is bound to happen.
In a move to make their city more edgy and trendy. The new logo for clowntown miami, I mean Downtown Miami is a hot pink - DWNTWN MIAMI. They intentionally do a mizpellin.

The digital SLR cameras have taken over. No longer do you see film cameras, but now we have the Olympus Evolt E-510 with digital image stabilization and choice of lenses to take professional pictures.

Google Docs already has a spreadsheet and word processor, now a new presentation tool has been added to help compete with Microsoft Office. This is a big plus for sales people who might have to do changes to a presentation over the internet.

Payday Loan Rescue is a company that offers quick cash in a flash. Sometimes we need money for a big emergency. For example, this year I was in an accident and the body shop wanted $850. This may not seem like much, but I knew I need my vehicle up and running. The rental car was costing $25/day.
The advantage of a payday loan is that you can get cash for quick emergencies. A regular bank loan takes a long time to approve. Friends can loan you small amounts such as $20 if you forgot your wallet, but for a big crisis event a payday loan is like a lifeboat in the ocean.
Payday loan rescue is better than a payday loan store because it is open 24/7 and you do not need to drive miles to the store. This is a temporary solution to your cash flow problem.
If you need a some quick cash, you should apply today for a super fast Pay Day Loan.

A museum in Salta, Argentina has the well preserved mummy of an Inca Girl sacrificed to the corn gods on display. Many native groups are opposed to the display and want her buried.
This we preserved specimen shows us what life was like in pre-columbian days. The mighty Inca empire stretched from Argentina to Peru. It was one of the biggest empires in the world.
