50,000 new workers at McDonalds in ONE day?

Headline: McDonald's to hire 50,000 workers - in 1 day
McDonald's is planning a one-day hiring working spree of 50,000 new workers on April 19th, just for the US. It's going to include part-time, full-time jobs. The average pay is $8.30 per hour.
They're calling this "Mcjob". Honestly, I think this is really going work out. But, lots of teenagers want jobs and they want GOOD jobs. Some teens are actually afraid to say where they work because saying "I work at McDonald's" is just embarrassing. I really want to see what happens with this and I really want to know if they're really going to get 50,000 new workers in one day because there is a lot of people out there without jobs, but are the qualified for McDonalds? I'm just really curious to see what happens.

Haiti's new President

After an earthquake and cholera epidemic wreaking havoc across Haiti, one might think that the people would look for a leader with experience in rebuilding lives and a nation. Be it for better or for worse, the new president of that nation draws most of his experience from performing on stage. One of the most famous carnival singers in Haiti, assuming that the results of the vote will stand, has to manage politics of his crippled country.
Frankly, I can't imagine how singer Michel Martelly won the election over a former first lady and college professor, but what he says he has planned seems sound. With talks of educational reforms and focuses on delivery of humanitarian aid, I don't see anything inherently wrong with his ideas. He does not yet have the relationships with powerful individuals across the country that other candidates were fortunate enough to have had under their belts, but these surely will develop during his term. If he can lead, as 68% of the voters think he can, then let's hope that he does it well.

Help me! ... April Fool's?

Headline: April Fool's prank costs Ill. teen $150 in tickets.


I personally think it's a pretty messed up joke to tell a friend and a cousin, two people in your life who may care for you the most, that you were robbed and shot in the foot. Even if it was only an April Fool's joke, it's a serious issue that I think shouldn't be joked about. And reverse the situation, what if it really happened and your friend and cousin took it as a joke and ended up not doing anything about it? In the end, you joked about being robbed and being seriously injured. That's where karma comes into play, right? Joke's on you now.

Error shaves 5 years off skinhead's sentence

Click This. I dare you.

Skinhead. Shaves. Ha.

This is pretty crazy. I think this article just shows how messed up the American judicial system is. First of all, Gibison definitely killed the guy. He has the gang tattoos to prove it. And the victim was shot straight in the forehead. It's not like it could have been an accident. In addition, a criminal should be charged based on current laws. Not ones that were active in the 80s. Shenanigans. Gibison's lawyer also has absolutely no proof that he did not commit the crime. He says that the web tattoo he has is "completely unrelated to any homicide." Okay...and what proof do you have of that. Maybe it's just the way the article is written, but to me, it's pretty obvious that Gibison killed this guy.

Carnival Musican Now Haiti President?

Michel Martelly is now the new Haiti President as of Monday. He took about 70% of the votes over his competitor, Mirlande Manigat. In the carnival he was "Sweet Mickey", who was known for dropping his pants on stage and other crazy acts among which include wigs and skirts, and now he's the buttoned down president. How did this transition happen? Instead of hiding his past, he embraced it, using it to encourage the younger generations votes. He was the cannidate for change just as Obama was. It seems like everyone wants to change lately. Despite his racy past, he's managed to overcome all obstacles, proving that our pasts do not contain us like most people like to think.


ps, does he look slightly like Obama to anyone else?

Middle East is off its rocker.

If you haven't noticed, this Middle East drama is still going on. Honestly, it seems as if it's catching. All of sudden its like a rebellion fad, "hey, let's all start a riot." Yemen is having a heart attack, at least ten were killed at a protest. Syria cracked down, killed eight and they had a huuuuge protest Douma. I'm not sure why all this is going on, but it's getting ridiculous. I feel like Bahrain, Syria, Lybia, Egypt, and Sudan are all having their revolution at the same time. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO ANGRY? That's my question.

The UConn Girls Basketball Team...Lost?

Headline: Diggins, ND out duel Moore, UConn Source: Check it out! The Notre Dame Girls Basketball led by sophomore sensation Skylar Diggins, upset the 2 time NCAA National Championship UConn Huskies last night at Conseco Field house. The UConn Girls Basketball team led by Maya Moore has been a dominant team over the last two seasons losing only a total of 3 games, and winning two national titles. They were expected to walk their way to another title this year, but ND standout Skylar Diggins had other plans. Maya had a game-high 36pts and Skylar had a season high 28pts on 10-14 shooting the ball. It turned into a head to head shootout between the two standouts, but Skylar prevailed. I think that this is an unbelievable feat because of how good the UConn team was. The Fighting Irish will play Tuesday night against Texas A&M for the National Title. The Irish hope to keep their winning ways, but nothing will feel quite as sweet as taking down the mighty huskies of Connecticut. Over and out, Montague.
