Roland Burris returned to Illinois, and came back to Washington, D. C. with a certification from the Secretary of State, giving the U. S. leaders the paperwork they said he needed, even though the Supreme Court in Illinois said the signature of the Secretary was not needed. It is reported that Mr. Burris will be sworn in this week. What a bunch, playing a stupid game. The whole selection was legal from jump street.

The war in Gaza is still being carried out between Israel and Hamas, more people are being killed, humanitarian aid is not being distributed as is neccessary for those in need. The U. N. Resolution for an immediate cease-fire is being ignored by both sides. Tony Blair along with Secretary Rice still working to end the violence.

President-elect Obama is said to be closing by executive order the prison at Guantanomo Bay, next week. What to do with the prisoners is another story.

President George Bush gave his final news conference today, thanking the Press Corps for their work. He answers many questions, justifying whatever he had done, and being very defiant, especially about the fact that Obama said that he was going to restore the moral authority to the United States which had been lost during the past eight years. PresidentBush said he did not agree that the moral authority had been lost during his adminstration's reign. Well, if I remember, when Mr Bush took over after Mr. Clinton left office he said aloud that he was going to scrub the Oval Office clean. Would that scrubbing a carpet now could erase the state of affairs we find ourselves in at this point in time. Denial is not just a river.
