Dow falls 500 points, worst day ever since 2001.

Dow falls 504 points today. Thanks to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Yep, that's right, they filed the accursed Chapter 11. Also, Merrill Lynch & Co. is sold to Bank of America. This is a bad day for stocks. They say that AIG might be next, when that happens, I think the Dow will be down probably 1000+ points.

A Firefighter Revives a Cat.

In New Beford, Massachusetts, a fire happened in an apartment, tons of animals were saved, but 2 cats died. The cat that was revived need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The Firefighter, bringing the cat outside of the burning apartment, gladly gave the cat mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Afterwards the cat rested. Thanks to that firefighter, that cat has it's life. I wonder who wouldn't of done that. I would of :)

Diaper saves Baby's Life in Brazil

In Sao Paulo, Brazil, Caua Felipe Massaneiro survived an amazing 30-foot-fall. He climbed on top of a sofa. The window was open, so he fell out, but he got caught on a security spike. Up on that security spike, dangling in the air, the diaper eventually failed, but he fell slowed as it became a little bit like a parachute. And he landed better then he could of. He still was treated for minor fractures, but nothing really serious.

Baby helps unconscious mother.

Millie Boyle, an 11-month-old baby, saved her mother Elizabeth Boyle. She had recently passed out in her house, and Millie, luckily hearing her mother's phone ringing. Answered it. It was Elizabeth's mother, Linda. And knowing that Millie wasn't allowed to play with the phone. She said, "Who's That" and then "Mama". Linda then called the police and ambulance and dispatched them to the Boyle household in Essex, England. Elizabeth woke up before they got there and she needed no medical help.

Firefighters in the Rochester Area Deliever Three Babies in One Day

The Subject says it pretty much. Firefighters delievered babies in Rochester, Egypt and Brighton. The details on the Rochester delivery are unavailble. But the women in Egypt and Brighton we have the story on.

Carrie Sippel of Egypt, New York had a baby August, 18th, 2008. She had contractions at 6:30 AM. She couldn't make it there in time, so living less than a mile away from the Fire Dept. has another value. She mother, drove her to the Fire Dept. and the Firefighters, having to know the knowledge of delivering babies, Sucessfully delivered Claire Sippel to Carrie.

At 4:53 am, Brighton Fire Dept. officals told some firefighters to 1600 Elmwood Ave. This woman was in a car along the road about to deliver the baby. The baby was delivered at 5:10am

Like I said, I don't know anything about the Rochester one.

Today is 9/11/08

"On September, 11, 2008, terrorists hijacked four planes that crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington and a field in Pennslyvannia. Nearly 3,000 people were killed it a matter of hours."

7 years ago, groups of terrorists, on different planes decided to hijack the plane's they were on. There targets were Both World Trade Center Tower's, The Pentagon, and possibly the White House. The destroyed the WTC towers. And they destroyed the West wall of the Pentagon. They didn't get the the 4th destination. Flight 93 was the name of the plane alot of Hero's were on. The people on the plane possibly fought back, and they were named Hero's. Today they are having moments of silence. Donald Rumsfeld, Barack Obama, John McCain, President George Bush and some other people will speak today. They called out the names of people that died that day. There were a ton of people that died that day. A ton of hero's were born. That was one of the most horrible day's in America's history. Afterwards everybody was scared. The stocks fell so so so low. Every was so sad. A lot of songs were made about it. Today they are honoring everybody.

John McCain's acceptance Speech.

John McCain made is acceptance speech. It was almost the best one of the RNC.

He accepted the Nomination. He said how much he is grateful. He is a suckup to his wife :D. He talks about his mother, who is "96 years young". More like 103 years old. He talked about his past. He says he won't let us down and says he will be a good president. He gives honor and respect to Obama. There were a lot of protesters. McCain called them "static" and "ground noise". He said Palin is great. He said he worked for us. He honors the armed forces veterans and current people in it. He says he will fight for us. He talked about families, Like Hilary did. He also noted how the Republican's Screwed up. He said what Obama will do. He asked us if we could please support him and Palin. The End

That Speech was approximentaly 1 hour. Very long speech. I actually enjoyed it. Unlike his previous speechs that were BORING!

That speech therefore ENDED the convention.

Mitt Romney's Speech

It was an awesome speech.


He talked about liberals and conservatives. He said how bad they were. He tells America to vote for McCain. He talks about his and John McCain's past. He talked about the mistakes America has. He talked alot about what we need to do. He also said he was Always proud of his country, referring to Michelle Obama.

Giuliani's Speech

It was a pretty good speech.

He talked about all these elections being very important. He said this was like the longest campaign to him. He said that the people decided the president, not the liberal media. He talked about McCain's life. He was a little funny :). He attacked the Dem's well. He said Obama kept voting 'Present'. Also saying that Obama, when he does vote, flip-flops on important issues. He said we would be very safe with John McCain. He also talked about how good McCain was. He also said Dem's dont like war. He said how good Palin is. And finally he said how good McCain is.

Mike Huckabee's Speech

His speech was a very funny but short 15 minute speech.

Huckabee talked about the change that America needs. He was very funny. He also said that he kind of wanted the speech slot called the Acceptance Speech on Thursday. He talked about his past in Hope, Arkansas, and when he was a governor. He also lost 110 lbs. My favorite part was when he said "Sarah Palin got for votes running for mayor of Wasilla then Biden got running for president!". And its true!. He also talked about McCain being a Pow. He told the story of the Teacher not letting her students have a desk unless they told her how to earn it. Then 20 veterans came in carrying school desks and she said that they earned it for them. So that McCain earned 1 desk for America.

Palin's Speech

Last Night Vice President Candidate Sarah Palin gave her acceptance speech. Here is some details on her speech.

She Smiled :), All through out the speech. She had accepted her vice presidential nomination. It was also cute because Cindy McCain held her baby a little bit. She talked about the army and her son going to Iraq on 9/11. She talked alot about her kids. She had teleprompter problem's but she got through it. She joked alot, some people call it sarcasm, but I thought it was jokes. Half the speech she gave was like a self made biography. She talked about how she helped Alaska and that she said No to the Bridge to Nowhere. She also talked about her selling the governors luxury private jet, saying that there was no use for it. She talked about her and John McCain could bring a lot of energy independence to the United States of America. She attacked Obama alot and I must say, she did an awesome job. She also attacked Harry Reid. She also talked about John McCain being a Prisoner of War, and also talked about the other POW's. Overall it was a great speech.

Leave Bristol Alone!

As you may know, Bristol Palin, the daughter of vice presidential pick Sarah Palin, is Pregnaet. I say, back off. Leave her alone. Barack Obama says leave her alone. If your not going to vote for John McCain, your sexist. Sarah Palin is ready to run the country if John McCain died. Sarah Palin is a great pick. Leave Bristol Alone, and leave Sarah alone. You dont have to vote for John McCain, just do not not vote for him because of Sarah Palin. I think she may be the best vice president ever. I agree with her issues. She and McCain conflict on drilling in Alaska. Palin wants to drill, and McCain doesn't. Palin wants to try and see if she can try to get McCain to change his Mind. It probably won't happen. I hope John McCain closes the borders.

CNN Poll for President Prefers Obama as of today.

Barack Obama has 49% favor for president on CNN's poll, McCain has 43%. Go Figure. Everybody is picking the democrat that is going to mess up our country. Yay :(.

8 Dog's Die in Animal Control car.

A Animal Control officer caught 8 dogs. He put them in his truck, and then he decided to take a Lunch Break. Animal Control trucks have AC for the dogs in the back, but somehow it shut off. It was so sad. They said one of the reasons would probably be the trucks aren't funded enough in Houston.

Roland Martin is stupid.

Earlier today I was watching CNN, and I saw him talking with a girl on CNN, shortly before John McCain landed in St. Paul. Anyway, he is talking to this girl disagreeing with her when she is saying that the people that don't like Palin are being a little sexist. I agree with that. He keeps saying shes inexperiences and she disagrees. It was a catfight. I agree with the girl. Silly Democrat, Politics are for Republicans.

Gustav, gustav, gustav...

Gustav is a democrat! He interrupted the RNC on its first day! Gustav hit New Orleans at category 2, but in the ocean, it reached Category 4. It tore up Cuba. Gustav really wasn't that bad. Except half the power of Louisiana is out. What kind of people live in New Orleans? Crazy people. What kind of people live in Tornado Alley? Crazy people. LIVE WHERE YOU ARE SAFE!! Fortunately, New Orleans was prepared. Nearly making the whole city a ghost town. Some people stayed. It had pretty bad flooding, no power for weeks.
