I read a blog entitled "Review of Thor 10(4 stars)" which I found on wordpress.com. It is a thurough review of the most recent issue that includes speculations and theories for upcoming issues. There were specific details mentioned by the author that I had noticed when I read Thor #10, but he offered insight into what they might mean or symbolize on a deeper level. An example of this would be the bird in the beginning of the issue possiby being Mephisto in an alternate form, since that was the case in the "One More Day" series. I pray, along with the author, that this is not the case because i do not care for Mephisto as a character either.This is the second "filler" issue in a row, but this does not worry me greatly because I have great faith in the collaborative efforts of Olivier Coipel and Michael Straczynski. While it is frustrating to stray from the main protagonist for the second issue in a row, I trust that this story is going somewhere interesting and that these filler issues will soon be balanced out with more Thor-driven plots.

The most recent blog regarding the Eagles on Espn.go.com was posted after their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It focuses on Donovan McNabb, and how well he is playing coming off an injury and without his two best recievers. During the game on Sunday, Donovan's greatest weapon, running back Brian Westbrook, left the game early due to an ankle injury. Despite losing his favorite target, McNabb continued to play well throughout the game. In the end, the article warned that other teams in the leauge should be ware of the Eagles offense. Their only loss came to the best team in the leauge, and they are scoring prolifically without some of their best offensive players.

Ron Paul expresses his opinion on the proposed bailout, and he sounds much more like a concerned citizen than an indifferent politician. He makes clear his fears that this bailout will put an and to our Republic and socialize our banking industry. Paul goes on to say that we need to bite the bullet during the hard economic times to come instead of printing new money and delaying our inevitable depression.I predicted that this blog would be much more formal than any of the other blogs I had read prior to it. I was wrong. Aside from a few big words, it was no different than other blog I've read. I think that this is largely due to the fact that Ron Paul is a Libertarian, and he doesn't talk, think, or write as most government officials do.What stood out to me was a fact that Ron Paul exposes. While the country was up in arms about the proposed bailout for our banks, the American automotive industry recieved a 25 billion dollar bailout without controversy. It angers me that the government would do that while American citizens are preoccupied with something else.

In the article titled "Capitalism Wothout Capital?" Ron Paul is saying that what we are experinceing now is the result of years of our capitalistic economy running on debt instead of capitol. He also goes on to say that the nation's "negative savings rate" is a reflection of its citizens bad habbits and that not only is the nation heading towards bankrupcy, but so are its people and small businesses.
