OUR BAILOUT
President George W. Bush has overseen the collapse of the American free enterprise system as we know it, and he will go down as the worst president in this nation’s history. Republican Party Presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, and Democratic Party nominee Barack Obama have put forth plans aimed at correcting the ship. Taxpayers, the people if you will, have thrown a $700 billion lifesaver to Wall Street, and more will surely be needed. However, none of the plans being floated goes far enough to get help immediately to the people. While banks are being provided help, those same institutions are not mandated to offer breaks to consumers, and this is shameful. Banks and mortgage companies should be required to renegotiate loans so families can remain in their homes.

MOVIE REVIEW: The Express

Written by KIMBERLY GRANT

We Are Marshall, a story about the loss of an entire team, is a bit better. The Longshots gives us a girl-led pee wee football team that wins for an entire town.
