Starbucks Or McDonalds!

Where do you get your cup of coffee? The answer to that seems to be McDonalds a lot lately. McDonalds seem to be moving in on Starbucks customers by offering the same drink at a sale price. And to top it all off Starbucks stock was reduced to a sell rating from a hold. If Starbucks would stop charging $5 for a simple cup of coffee they would be doing much better. In this economy price is everything, and McDonalds is listening to it’s customers. McDonalds is even coming out with a few new drinks that will really hurt Starbucks. Starbucks better do something quick, or their going to be out of business before they know it. If you ask me Starbucks should have kept things affordable and simple. Because to be honest with you all, I have no idea how to pronounce the drinks they sell.

U.N. Worker!

American U.N. worker John Solecki was released after he was abducted for more than two months. He was found on the roadside pleading “Help me, help me.” The U.N. had stated that he was doing well, just tired. A lot of people where surprise and thankful for his release, because a release like this is almost unheard of. Most of the time people abducted in Pakistan and the region are found dead, or never found at all. So you can see why this is great news. The reason why he was released hasn’t been reported, so they have no idea why he was. Hopefully he’ll be reunited with his family soon to conclude the abduction. And if I where him I would leave the country and never return. I know my family would never let me go back, as his family is thinking the same thing right now.

Presidential Pardon!

We seem to have a request for a presidential pardon. The request and push is being lead by Sen. John McCain. He’s pushing for the presidential pardon for Jack Johnson. Jack Johnson was the nation’s first black heavyweight boxing champion in the very early years of the 1900’s. Johnson was convicted of violating the Mann Act in 1913 for having a consensual relationship with a white woman. The Mann Act is still a law today, but has changed a lot over the years. The push for the pardon is going to be a up hill battle for McCain. Not because Johnson was wrongfully convicted, but because Johnson is dead. U.S Presidents don’t usually pardon people that are dead, but have done so in the past. So it’s going to be a wait and see what President Obama will do. I personally think Obama will do it, but so far there’s no word out of the White House.
