Two prominent African-American elected officials launched their candidacies for Chicago mayor wthin hours of each other Sunday despite weeks of behind-the-scenes wrangling by some black leaders to unite behind a single candidate. Veteran West Side U.S. Rep. Danny Davis and state Sen. James Meeks, who is pastor of a massive South Side church, each declared at rallies they would represent all areas of the city if elected. Some black aldermen, ministers ans businessmen had sought to select a "consensus" candidate in an attempt to unify African-Americans behind a single candidate. Davis was chosen over Meeks and former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun,who also is planning to run. Former Chicago Board of Education President Gery Chico and City Clerk Miguel del Valle also are prepping mayoral bids.
In my opinion, Davis has more experience and would be better for Chicago. Meeks might be good but he doesn’t have government experience. If we have five candidates, each one might get twenty percent of votes. This would be a bad situation because no one would win the election. The candidates has the largest percent would run in another election.

Not so friendly with Facebook

Jimmy Kimmel the last-night talk show host has officially declared Wednesday National Unfriend Day, when the Facebook users should eliminate the friend fat and say goodbye to the people your barely know who keep asking. This is no the first time a movement to unfriend on Facebook has come up. You will participate if you have thousands of friends and have no idea who half of them are or the other half are old high school enemies. Don't participate if: You are just triying to organize and you love knowing every time someone.


In my opinion, i love Facebook, and i don't like the idea. I don't use too much Facebook but, when i want to know somenthing i only looked at Facebook.

4.Navy Pier makeover?
5.This article is talking about Navy Pier will rev up again Wednesday, this time with a set of suggestions that would add attractions for kids and young audlts. The possibilities include attracting a children's entertainment anchor.

In my opinion, One of the things i think is important about Navy Pier is that it continues to be a real place as opposed to a theme park.

Desperate For Diversity

The author of this article is not watching the TV show Desperate Housewives anymore because the show does not make black men to be positive characters. She is saying that every black male character that has come to the show is a criminal or a murderer and the writers must create new ways for black men to be normal.

I used to watch Desperate Housewives everyday and I remember the evil black characters that killed people. I thought that they were only racist for writing the show with only white people as the good characters, but it is complicated. I also hope that the show creates better black men for the show, maybe even interracial.

The candidates also clashed on social is sues, which have become a hot - button topic in the past week following remarks by sate Sen. Rickey Hendon that Sen. Brady was "racist, sexist {and} homophobic." Asked by moderator Carol Marin if his stance against civil union for same - sex couples promotes a hostile environment for gays and lesbians, Brady said "not at all." " The law of Illinois is that marriage would be a protected institution between man and woman, and I support that law,"Brady Said.

I would like to say when some people become a candidate they doesn`t have to look only their own needs because different people has different idea and interest just like them. When I see some of the candidates the just want to do only their need and want to follow their direction not people`s interests and needs.

U.S SPY SPENDING ON THE RISE

The head of the Senate Intelligence committee said it is time to pare own non - military intelligence spending, which has doubled sine the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. The Senator indicated there is waste and duplication within the budget and added, "It`s is clear that the over all spending on intelligence has blossomed to an unacceptable level in the past Decade."

In My opinion U.S had spy a lot of money around the world to stop terrorism. I think U.S needs plan and budget in order to have own military and/ or non - military spying. Because it is good having plan and budget before spying and spending money.
