Ok so some big news events today. But unfortunately I don't have much time to write about it tonight, I spent most of the evening being the computer guy and helping out my friends at Capo's restaurant, so I will just briefly mention the news and write more tomorrow.

First, big news today.

Bush Appoints Bolton, Bypassing Senate

"President Bush installed embattled nominee John Bolton as ambassador to the United Nations on Monday, bypassing the Senate after a testy five-month standoff with Democrats who argued that the tough-talking conservative was unfit for the job."

Well here's hoping that the guy doesn't piss off every country at the UN. I know, I know my republican friends, you are saying, who cares who we piss off? Well uh ok, because we live in the WORLD, and we, believe it or not, do NOT run the entire world, and we need to be friendly neighbors, because we need other country's help in this War on Terror, oh sorry.... Struggle Against Extremism.

Well I think most of my readers know my opinion on John Bolton, the complete WRONG man for this job. And NO rep bud I am not saying that the UN doesn't need any reform, I am simply saying the last thing this man can do well is DIPLOMACY.

Ok next big news today:

Saudis Jockey for Power After Fahd's Death

"'With all sorrow and sadness, the royal court in the name of his highness Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz and all members of the family announces the death of the custodian of the two holy mosques, King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz,' according to a statement read on state-run Saudi TV.

Fahd died at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, where he was admitted on May 27 for unspecified tests."

Don't know if this will actually have much effect on the world, seeing as the new king was basically running the country for the last 10 years after King Fahd suffered a stroke in 1995. But oil certainly did spike with the news.

Ok more tomorrow.
