Our first two stories are personal choice stories, as they broke overnight and both are equally mentioning.
Story 1 ...
In a shocking event that happened as President Bush traveled to Iraq, he was pelted by shoes at a news conference. He asked for questions and a Iraqi journalist took his shoes off, threw them one by one at the President. Bush just brushed it off like nothing happened. And it was all caught on video. Story from AP via MyWay.com. In some personal reflection and opinion of the story: In the Arab and Islamic culture, if someone does this to you, it is considered to be the greatest insult that could happen to you. So, if you look at this just in that perspective, then you can easily tell what they think of him. As in the song title of the New Radicals one hit wonder, Mr. Bush, sorry but "You Get What You Give".
Story 2 ...
In a equally sad and scary story ... Los Angeles Times reports on a Utah 'prophet' who says that there is no way that Obama will take office. He predicts a nuclear Christmas as that disaster will prevent Obama from office. As you read the article, the poor writer has to go into deep rural Utah (sounds like Osama right?), and he says that our time is up. Why do we have to put up with stuff like this???
