The Address

Most often when the President comes on the TV I flip to another channel.  I did this again last night, because of the political crap involved.  I got really tired of his face being right there every time I turned the TV on, so now I just take another route to save my distaste of the person.  I realize that he is our President and we must value him as long as he's in office.  I hope that very soon, his term will be over and we can possibly move on with a new trustworthy government.  Mind you, I am not holding my breath on this one.  I don't see many out there who have thrown their hats in the race, that I care to follow. 

Sweet Land of Liberty

No Fly Zone........

 

The people started celebrating when they were notified that the Libyan foreign minister had announced an "immediate cease fire." The UN Security Council passed a "no fly zone" because of the attacks against Libya's own people from the Muammar Gaddafi's forces.  The rebels say that there has still been shelling even after Libya declared the "cease-fire", in their attempt  to keep the military intervention from happening.  

I wonder how this will affect Gaddafi's decisions, since he's been known as a very radical person.

US Worried........

The US has chartered planes to remove American citizen's located in the disaster area, because of the growing concern from nuclear fall out presented from the possible reactor's melt down.  Some 600 families are being transported out of the affected areas, and it is said that the situation is only getting worse.  The State Department has has strongly urged people to defer travel to this area at this particular time.  Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it travels and will have extremely minor health consequences in the United States.  Now, what do we do as we get ready for this impending problem?  Stay inside while all this is happening?  They say that there is possible thyroid problems from the exposure.  All we can do is wait out the situation and hope for the best.

Melt Down ?

The radiation fears added to the catastrophe that has been unfolding in Japan, where at least 10,000 people are believed to have been killed and millions of people were facing a fifth night with little food, water or heating in near-freezing temperatures and snow as they dealt with the loss of homes and loved ones. Up to 450,000 people are in temporary shelters.
The officials at the plant said they were considering asking for help from the U.S. and Japanese militaries to spray water from helicopters into the pool.  Experts noted that much of the leaking radiation was apparently in steam from boiling water. It had not been emitted directly by fuel rods, which would be far more virulent.  Tuesday's developments fueled a growing panic in Japan and around the world amid widespread uncertainty over what would happen next. 
There has been so much speculation about the problems this trauma  can cause.  I fear that we will not have a complete view of the actual situation when it develops.  As of now we can only wait and see the outcome of the horrific event.

I could have sworn that I had written and composed recent posts on this blog?  I can't seem to find them and wonder what may have happened?  I realize that this is a blog of strong opinions, but I am sure there has been more that could have been printed.  Today, I wonder if I'm loosing my mind, thinking that I had written posts or made opinions which I now do not see.  Wow, I must really be loosing my cool!
