Don't Ask Don't Tell

Colin Powell asked President elect Barack Obama to review the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. It is a policy about gay people in the military. Colin Powell says the policy is outdated. Finally a person willing to admit how horrible this policy is. The gay/lesbian people should be able to serve openly, as it is there constitutional right. The only problem? He asked for it to be reviewed not repealed. I thought that we could move past all the differences. Whether it be gay, or straight, Caucasian or African American, but apparently we are not quite there yet. We are getting closer, but not there yet.

Illinois Proud History of Governors

Today marks another governor who has been arrested, the other being Governor Ryan who is currently in jail. I do not understand why our Governors feel the need to disobey the law. Blagojevich took advantage of Obama becoming president and wanted to make some money off of it. I mean it is not like he gets money for being the Governor. In the report from the FBI is says Blagojevich wanted an appointment to the Obama cabinet as Secretary of Health and Human Services." how could you believe that you could get appointed without having this found out. If he was appointed and this came out imagine what it would do to Obama. Bottom line Blagojevich is narcissistic, and deserves to be in jail. Not just that, but Illinois deserves an honest Governor.
