Ron Paul, Hiliary Clinton get similar traffic referrals

When it comes to the presidential campaign sites of Hilary Clinton and Ron Paul, nobody would guess that the two would have anything in common. A website traffic measurement firm says otherwise. According to the firm, both sites are receiving their greatest amount of traffic from Myspace, Yahoo, Yahoo Mail, and of course Google. Without a doubt, Google is bringing the most traffic to both sites. While I can’t say that I find any of this to be amazing, I am surprised that other candidates, including Barack Obama, are not receiving a significant amount of referrals from these major sites.

The IDs of two soldiers fighting in Iraq were found Saturday, according to the United States Military. Their unit was attacked in May, and since that time they have been believed to be dead. I really don’t know if this discovery is really any hope to their parents and relatives. But, what I do know for sure is that we need to get out of this war immediately.

Its been 4 years! I still don’t know what we’re still doing there. That’s been subject to change several times during the course of this ridiculous war. A MESSAGE TO OUR INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT: BRING THE TROOPS HOME! If you’re so supportive of this war, why don’t you send your ownchildren there? Complete and utter idiot.

Applebees Serves Minor Alcohol

Applebees promised to be a little more cautious after they accidentally served a minor an alcoholic beverage. When the child’s parents requested apple juice for their son, he was instead given a margarita. Julian Mayorga started making odd faces and shoving the cup aside. After his parents examined the drink, they found it to smell like tequila.

The boy later vomited and was admitted into a hospital for treatment. Applebees executives blame the incident on a mix-up of the margarita bottles and the apple juice containers. The manager that was on duty accidentally poured alcohol from the margarita bottle instead of apple juice from the apple juice bottle. This is an honest mistake. But I really don’t know why they would place the apple juice bottle and the margarita bottles so close to each other. Everybody got lucky in this case, but had the parents not found out what the child ingested, things could have definitely taken an ugly turn.

‘Obamagirl’ video infests internet

The “I Got a Crush on Obama” video has taken the internet by surprise. The video, which was posted June 13th on YouTube has received over over 540,000 views. It features a very provocative, to say the least, actress showing her affection towards Senator Barack Obama. Obama campaign officials claim they had no part in the video, which I find to be untrue.

The video cost several thousand dollars to produce….but why would somebody produce it for no reason? It was definitely endorsed by Obama campaign officials. Many speculate that officials are denying that they funded the video because some of Obama’s supporters may find the content “questionable”. The video is definitely a little too provocative for my tastes, and I think its going to end up hurting Obama’s campaign in the long run.
