			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I try not to get into politics too much but&#8230;</p>
<p>It seems like the stock market almost crashed today after Bush&#8217;s $700 million Economic Bailout Plan for the financial institutions was voted against by congress.</p>
<p>John McCain put his Election tour on hold a few weeks ago, canceled an appearance spot on David Letterman to support the cause, and Letterman practically ripped him apart for leaving him hanging. Which I thought was personally funny as hell, but it looks like McCain might have had the right idea.</p>
<p>McCain got so much flack for putting the campaign on hold to concentrate on the US financial crisis. Now the Dow drops 500 points today, some people are freaking out, and this actually makes McCain look pretty good I think because he wanted to concentrate on the cause to begin with</p>
<p>So I read in the Washington Post today that now Obama is trying to get people to support the Bailout Plan as well. This is personally my first time hearing Obama talk about it, but then again, I&#8217;m at a job all day, so I don&#8217;t have time to sit in front of the TV and avidly watch the news. I thought Obama gave McCain flack for wanting to postpone their first debate to concentrate on this situation. Now look what happens?</p>
<p>I personally thought the bailout plan sounded stupid, why should we help out these financial companies that got all of the &#8220;poor&#8221; and &#8220;living paycheck to paycheck&#8221; Americans in this position to begin with?</p>
<p>To which Obama has said, &#8220;When taxpayers are asked to take such an extraordinary step because of the irresponsibility of a relative few, it is not a cause for celebration,&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;But this step is necessary.&#8221; So I can agree with him in a way, at the same time disagree with him. It&#8217;s a tough decision either way!</p>
<p>But like I said, I don&#8217;t keep my nose current when it comes to politics so I could be just making empty rants. If someone wants to enlighten me, please do!</p>

<p>McCain recently spent over $5,000 for &#8220;American Idol&#8221; and &#8220;So You Think You Can Dance&#8221; makeup artist, Tifanie White to do his makeup.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure it probably wasn&#8217;t just for her makeup ability but hey nothings too good for a possible future president of the United States that is going to protect our financial stabilities.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;d do that prehistoric dinosaur&#8217;s makeup for over $5,000 grand. But what I want to know is, what in the hell kind of makeup would you put on the man? I know most women who in their lifetime probably don&#8217;t even spend that much on makeup.</p>
<p>Yes, I know he&#8217;d understand if I skipped out on my mortgage payment to get me a $5,000 makeup job done to run for president of my book club.</p>

<p>Paris&#8217; rep denies the story saying, <span id="intelliTXT">&#8220;They were at Paris&#8217; house Wednesday in her recording studio, and all the dogs were playing and looked as healthy and happy as can be,&#8221; a rep for Hilton, 27, told People magazine. &#8220;Paris even had a doggie mansion built for them and it is very secured. &#8220;</span></p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t doubt that her 17 dogs live a better life than most normal human beings. On top of the dogs it is reported she she supposedly also owns a goat, cats, two ferrets, a chinchilla and other exotic pets that might not even be legal in California. Not to mention, if you have more than three dogs don&#8217;t you have to have a kennel liscense?</p>
<p>This story gave flared up my allergies just reading it.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.whatthejorge.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/gas-prices.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1088" title="Gas Prices" src="http://www.whatthejorge.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/gas-prices.gif" alt="" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>The latest excuse for gas prices going up is because of Hurricane Ike. According to The Desert Sun, the hurricane &#8220;caused a near total shutdown in crude production in the Gulf of Mexico, triggering gasoline shortages and dramatically higher prices at the pump in parts of the South and Midwest.&#8221;</p>
<p>The presidential candidates, McCain and Obama can say all they are going to do to drop gas prices, but let&#8217;s face it, we were told a while ago that there was going to be &#8220;no more taxes&#8221; so I&#8217;m sure we are not smart enough to fall for the same trick twice over. They can all eat my giant taco!</p>
<p>These supposed hard economic times calls for people to budget themselves. I&#8217;ve read how a lot of people are seeking help by joining credit counseling agencies to <a href="http://www.bills.com/consolidate-debt/">colsolidate debt</a>.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a million and one ways to do that; debt management, debt settlement, credit counseling, debt consolidation loans and mortgage refinancing. Depending on your credit score, it might determine which avenue you go down. If your broke as hell like me, consolidation loans are out of the question. I think the computer laughed at me when I tried to apply for a debt consolidation loan.</p>
<p>Saving money is so important now, I think, more than ever. Mainly because whomever becomes president, who knows that they are going to do? With a new President coming into the office and the economy going down the toilet all at the same time do you think it&#8217;s just the perfect recipe for disaster?</p>
<p>Or maybe it&#8217;s just me sniffing the $4.00 a gallon gas fumes!</p>

<p>A 10-year-old girl from South East England played Wii&#8217;s newest exercise game, &#8220;Wii Fit&#8221; and was told by the game, during its BMI (Body Mass Index) test, that she was &#8220;fat.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Wii Fit actually puts users into a variety of categories during the BMI test, the two heaviest categories are &#8220;overweight&#8221; and &#8220;obese.&#8221;</p>
<p>The girls father says, &#8220;She is a perfectly healthy, 4-feet-9-inch-tall 10-year-old who swims, dances, and weighs only six stone. She is solidly built but not fat. She was devastated to be called fat and we had to work hard to convince her she isn&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tam Fry for the National Obesity Forum suggested a ban of kids playing the game, &#8220;&#8221;I am absolutely aghast that children are being told they are fat. A child&#8217;s BMI can change every month and it is perfectly possible for a child to be stocky, yet still very fit. I would be very concerned if children were using this game and I believe it should carry a warning for parents.&#8221;</p>
<p>So there&#8217;s a revolution to ban a game that tries to promote physical fitness, but nobody sees anything wrong with the game that robs people of their cars and kills people and all of these possibly dangerous <a href="http://www.weightlosspills.net/">weight loss pills</a> they can get at the local supermarket<em> </em>and online?<em><br />
