Iran Fordow Enrichment Plant Will Never Be Shut Down, MP Says
The last thing we needed in America or anywhere on Earth is for Iran to produce more Uranium, they say, "Fordow will never be shut down because ... our national duty is to be able to defend our nuclear and vital centres against an enemy threat". One can simply believe that if no one produced or enriched Uranium, we would not have trust issues with one another. It is seriously ridiculous at this point, they say it is their national duty to continue to enrich their Uranium and pollute their citizens by saying that this will keep them safe. No country will attack them for no reason, the fact that they have Uranium in their hands makes them a bigger target and it gets them on America's top list to watch out for. Israel is also taking action, "Israel has threatened to attack Iran if diplomacy and sanctions fail to curb its nuclear programme, raising fears of a regional war", that is the last thing we needed.

Gangsters: During the 1920's, there was Al Capone, the baddest and most wanted man in Chicago. One thing there might be in common for Al Capone and in The Great Gatsby is that Gatsby is the number one, richest man and Al Capone is number one most wanted, they are both number one in their own ways. In the 1920's in America, there was no alcohol, imagine America with no alcohol today, it would be absolute chaos and a lot of men would go insane doing things they should not, in the 1920's they felt the same way and that is a part of Al Capone's job. He would deal with all types of illegal matters and smuggling alcohol in every corner of America was one of them. Everybody went through a tough time and the same with Gatsby not everyone would know him if he was did not have his money. People would not know Al Capone if it were not for his accomplishments, either good or no good.

The latest Ford F-150 series trucks have reached a new milestone! F-150's now have the capability to crush a large turtle in one pass. I believe that this is extraordinary news, especially for someone like me, who is a major Chevy and Ram fan. I think that a lot of the Ram and Chevy owners will definitely sell their old junk and get this new brand, it has caught my attention and I can not wait to have my own. Ford spokesman Walter Jeffries said at an outdoor press event as a professional driver steered the full-size pickup over numerous large reptiles, including a 130-year-old Galapagos tortoise. It truly is a huge expansion in their engineering and especially for their sales, I hope Ford engineers are awarded for their milestone and I say, their new goal should be to make their F series capable of driving on sand too.

The Daily Show: 12/4/12 in 60 Seconds

This episode of The Daily Show is about taxes. They are saying taxes are the lowest that they have ever been, but of course it is going to go back to the way it was back in the 1950's when it was really high. This can be a problem, and I am understanding the humor he has and makes politics and other issues a lot more on the interesting side instead of being boring. The House Leadership, the Congressman have been chosen again and it mentions, "...all white male..." and John Boehner makes a great point with saying, "There is a great deal of diversity here!" He included a lot of sarcasm with his saying and it actually made me chuckle, that is a problem here to me, and hopefully for others as well, for I think that only white males for congressman show a lack of ideas, they will clearly see only one side of everything. They do need more diversity, it can do the country good. Our target here would be white men, multiple people, focusing on Congressman. The purpose is for our Congressman to become more diverse, having white males only is like a burned toast, dry and no creativity.The satire is definitely achieved, in the way of using sarcasm and exaggeration, he definitely did a great job making the point clearly, he wants us to know about the taxes raising and the lack of diversity in Congress.
