Political Cartoon
Orlando Sentinel- September 12th 2010 page A1
So being home this weekend I thought I’d use the newspaper since I had access. On the front page there’s a drawing of George W with Obama standing right next to him, both with big toothy smiles. At the top of the sketch it reads, “Double-dip recession,” with dip 1 and dip 2 pins on Bush and Obama respectively. I found this pretty funny because the ’08 election was supposed to mark the change of the economy, can’t say I’ve seen any radical change though.
Article- Great Ape Debate:Research or Rest?

So this write up explains what really happens to chimpanzees in test facilities. When I read the title and saw the basic outline of the article, I thought of a quote from one of my favorite movies of all time, “Without pain, without sacrifice, we’d have nothing; like the first monkey shot into space.” The second I saw it i thought of Fight Club and my focus was on that article immediately. Of course this article mentions the first monkey shot into space. After reading the laundry list of pesticides, disease cures, and cosmetics scientists test on chimpanzees I look at it with a positive light that they make sure they have it right for human users. Come at me PETA.

So this advertisement caught my eyes with hype for the coming NBA season. The collage of Orlando Magic players was well put together with good team color scheme to catch a reader’s eye. Can’t say I liked the slogan that much, it’s been used the past couple of seasons, “Be here, be Magic.” It definitely got me excited for this season, even though it looks gloomy with the Miami Heat in our division.

I was drawn to this because it was based out of Gainesville. Of course, stupid things coming out of there. I laughed when I first heard the story earlier this week but after reading this I realize Pastor Jones wasn’t wanted in the first place. It was a good read, lots of people went out to show that something so un-civil wasn’t welcome at their church. I came away from the reading with respect for those people who stood up against faith intolerance when they certainly didn’t have to. Still hate UF though.
I live in Orlando too! I use to always read the Orlando Sentinel. But hey the political cartoon sure scrutinizes President Obama. I like him alot. You try making a bilion people in this nation happy! “Without pain, without sacrifice, we’d have nothing; like the first monkey shot into space.” Haha I thought this was quite funny. Orlando Magic is my basketball team!! I go to almost all of their games! It makes me kinda sad to think I have to cut back this year now that we live in Tallahassee but I will be there October for their first game of the preseason!
