bin Lauden's Taliban no longer a world economic threat

On evening talk show, specialist Kamran Bokhari talks about recent threat issued on video by Obama, despite risks of issuing video. Obama says if some captured terrorist is executed, his enemies will pay (where is the special threat?).

Bokhari says Obama's Taliban no longer a world threat as it was. Most terrorist activity is carried out by local organizations, and limited in threat to local areas.

Canadian Pride

Speakers at Canadian Olympic ceremonies talk at length about 'this great nation' and go on and on about how great Canada is, not thanking the other nations for coming or honoring their diverse and valuable cultures and peoples. This movement is all over Canada, on advertisments, radio dj's, hosts on tv shows, politicians.

A girl is beat almost to death at school

There has been a lot of this on evening shows lately. A boy was burned terribly also.
Many women-hosted evening newsish shows feature one or other of the (usually single) parents who kill their babies or small children. Once they get a bit bigger, are they tougher to kill?

World Figure Skating Competition

(I missed Mao Asada. Damn.) American 16 year old Japanese girl Mirai is very excited and happy enjoying her skate. Her legs are heavy, heavier even than in the Olympics. Yuna Kim: some talk about her staying power. Is she planning a leave? She skated without heart and had a skate-blade issue. Question: does she even want to skate, or have interest in expressing herself through skating or anything else? or would she rather just enjoy her life as she can? The pressure also seems to have been an issue. Perhaps she displayed no artistry in the Olympics because she is pushed to win, and so determined to master the spins, and how much could you like skating if that is what it is for you?

America has Public Health Care

It is being called Obamacare on evening tv shows. It takes hours of Anderson Cooper, etc. Is it interesting?
