Immigration and the Economy..!
http://www.aclu.org/immigrants-rights/immigrants-and-economy
I was researching immigration, and i came upon this article. It has great facts about immigrants and our economy, they hit the nail on the coffin. "Immigrants pay more than $90 billion in taxes every year and receive only $5 billion in welfare. Without their contributions to the public treasury, the economy would suffer enormous losses." If immigrants are helping the economy, why do americans want them out? They also help out new business and spend their money on american goods, but yet people want immigrants out of this country for various reasons, blaming them on the "draining the economy and taking jobs away" is absurd and should be looked at by the ignorant people.

There have been a total of one hundred and sixteen total dead bodies found in pits. A total of seventeen suspects have been detained by the police. They seem to belong or work for Los Zetas, a ruthless crappy crime organization/ drug cartel. Authorities say that they will continue to fight the cartels and will stay posted on the streets until the cartels are done. A nineteen year old worthless human being confessed he has killed over two hundred people. Los Zetas have been battling with the Gulf Cartel for drug routes into the United States Border. The violence in mexico is extremely high, and its only getting worse. Its absolutely horrible to see mexico have these types of issues.

Egypt blogger gets 3 years for criticizing army..!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110411/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_eg
Twenty Six Year old Maikel Nabil Sanad, was sentenced to three years in an Egyptian prison for his criticism towards the Egyptian Army via his blog. He essentially put the military on blast by saying they were still loyal to Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. His lawyers weren't there to defend him and he was sentenced. According to the military, its ok to criticize the army, but supposedly Maikel crossed the line by questioning the military "intentions". The Egyptian riot's back in February have cooled of to an extent, but it seems like there is still tension in the country.

Aaron Baddeley puts his first Masters shot right in a woman’s lap
http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/blog/devil_ball_golf/post/Aaron-Baddeley-puts-his-first-Masters-shot-right?urn=golf-wp611
Aaron Baddeley first teed off at 8:51am at the annual Masters golf tournament at Augusta. He seemed to have a rather awkward moment with a particular female fan. His shot landed in her lap, and she kept the ball in her lap the whole time before aaron went for it. He then marked a white paint on where she was sitting, and teed of from there. It proved to not be a distraction because his next shot was a good one. It was quite an awkard situation to say the least.
