Whenever it seems like America is moving forward and making a "change" for the better, out of pocket characters or wanna be neo-Nazi kids get bored and make plots. 

Federal agents have broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree, the ATF said Monday. 

The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.

This is just ridiculous.  Parents need to start raising their children and stop teaching them hatred and non-sense.  To read more about this story click on link below.

FBI official's believe that a body found in an SUV early this morning is believed to be that of Jennifer Hudson's missing 7 year old nephew Julian King.  Examiners have not positively identified the body, but FBI Deputy Director John S. Pistole said authorities believe it to be that of Julian King. 

Chicago police said the body of a black male child was found shortly after 7 a.m. in the rear seat of an SUV. An autopsy was planned for Tuesday.

The SUV was found parked on the street in a neighborhood of brownstone homes and apartment buildings, and matched the one sought in an Amber Alert issued after Hudson's mother and brother were found slain Friday, police Cmdr. Wayne Gulliford said.

William Balfour, 27, who is the estranged husband of Julia Hudson (Jennifer's eldest sister), is being held in custody for questioning, however, he has not officially been charged with the slaining of Jennifer's mother and brother nor the kidnapping and believed killing of her nephew. 

Records from the Corrections Department show Balfour is on parole and spent nearly seven years in prison for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possessing a stolen vehicle.

Jennifer and family are going to need a lot of support.  I seriously can't imagine the pain she and her family must be feeling.  Let's hope and pray that justice is served and that the "person of interest" William Balfour clears his conscience and starts answering some pertinent questions. 

Thoughts and prayers are with them.

Such a tragic story for Jennifer Hudson.  As if losing her mother and brother in a horrific slaying isn't bad enough, her 7 year old nephew Julian King still has not been found.  I can't even begin to imagine what Jennifer is going through.  The suspect, William Balfour, who is her older sister's ex-husband, is in custody but isn't telling the whereabouts of little Julian. 

Jennifer Hudson and her family are offering a $100,000 reward for the safe return of her missing 7-year-old nephew.

Julian King has been missing since the Friday shooting deaths of Hudson's mother and brother at the family home on Chicago's South Side.

Hudson publicist Lisa Kasteler issued a statement Sunday saying the Oscar-winning entertainer and her family would offer the reward. The family asks that any information be given to Chicago police.

She needs all the prayer--I wish her and her family the deepest condolences and strength.

Barack Obama will be returning back to Hawaii on Thursday to see is ailing grandmother Madelyn Dunham.  His campaign announced this news Monday, stating that, "I think everyone understands that the decision that Senator Obama is making to go to Hawaii underscores the seriousness of the situation," campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs said.  Obama doesn't plan to return to the campaign trail until Saturday.  His grandmother who is better known Tutu or Toot for short (grandparent in Hawaiian) is 85 years old.  She is the person who raised Obama most of his life and who he frequently mentions in his speeches.  Wish her the best, and I hope she has a speedy recovery.

Just want to remind everyone that, we are two weeks (14 days to be exact) away from the presidential election.  If you live in Hawaii you can vote in an early election now until election day.  Please don't forget to vote!

Yesterday, I went and finally bought my Halloween costume.  I definitely got it for a great deal which makes me feel good.  Who doesn't love a good deal???? I decided to go with being a playboy bunny.  Have you already picked out a costume????

I've been so busy lately that, I haven't found time to do little things like go for my daily sushi.  I'm trying to manage my time and I definitely will start trying to write more.  I literally wake up at 5:30 am for work, leave my house around 6:20 am, and I also have school Wednesday night and Saturday Morning.  Yea, very busy.  Thankfully, Halloween is coming up soon and I'll have some down time to have fun and celebrate with friends.  Speaking of Halloween, do you have your costume yet???? Well, I'm not sure what I'm going to be because I go back and forth between a cop and a playboy bunny, but I'm leaning more towards the playboy bunny.  I'm going to take pictures and post them, so be looking out after Halloween. 

Janet Jackson has been released from the hospital after being hospitalized Monday in Montreal during her concert tour.  According to reports, Jackson was diagnosed with vertigo, a condition that effects the equilibrium and causes dizziness and falling sensation.  However, her representatives have yet to confirm this illness.  Glad she's out of the hospital and wish her a good bill of health.

I just finished watching the VP debate.  All in all, I still feel as though neither candidate directly answered questions from the moderator.  I know they're running for Vice Presidency, but one of these candidates will have to assist, defend, and carry out the duties of our future President.  Do you feel comfortable with either VP candidate??? 

In the beginning, I was actually falling asleep on the debate because it was a bit of a bore and rather dull.  I thought that Joe Biden did a great job at seeming more personable than before; however, I would have liked to see more humor and a tad bit more enthusiasm.  I do give him credit, he did a wonderful job at directing questions back to Sarah Palin and focusing on the lies Bush John McCain and his administration promises.  Not to mention, he does have over 30 years of experience, and Palin, well...

I'm wondering... Did Biden really want to be at the debate??? I say this because throughout the debate he kept yawning.  I understand that he was probably exhausted, but he could have pretended to have wanted to debate for the sake of the American people. 

Sarah Palin... did she even know where she was and what she was talking about???? because, in the beginning I felt as if she was confused.  It appeared as though she answered questions that were prepared by her speech writer excellently, but she wasn't winning an award for best speech read--she was supposed to be answering the moderators questions. 

One thing that I realize about politicians is that, they won't simply say "I don't know" instead they'll dance all around the question until "we" the audience forgets what was even asked.  I'll give Sarah a little credit, because I did find her a little humorous and relaxed towards the end. 

Well, we have a little over 30 days until election.  Do you feel as though this debate answered your questions and concerns??????? Thoughts???

Is anyone else as sick of the hills as I am??? Probably! I watched last Monday in anticipation of what the commercials made us all believe would be artificially scripted real drama, but instead I was disappointed with more drawn out garbage.  First off, why is Brody so crazed over defending Lauren Conrad??? I could have sworn that he was the same person who last season slept with her best friend.  All of a sudden he feels as though he has to be captain save-her. 

Doesn't it seem a little strange that Lauren befriended Stephanie Pratt in the first place??? She is Spencer's sister, but I can only assume that that never crossed LC's mind.  So, why was she shocked when Steph went out with her old fling Doug??? Your guess is as good as mine.  She was warned several times by Brody, Lo, pretty much everyone... even Audrina. 

And, I'm also tired of seeing this ridiculous storyline with Lauren and Heidi.  They're not going to be friends anymore--that was so circa 2007.  MTV needs to come to terms with it.  I wouldn't even expect Lauren to forgive Heidi, but I guess in the Hills anything is possible.  I mean, what does she really have to lose???? After all, she did forgive Brody and not to mention Jenn Bunney an endless amount of times---I'm sure she has room for one more. 

As a reminder,
Don't forget to watch the VP debate tonight on CNN.  Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joe Biden go toe to toe in Saint Louis, Missouri.  I'm certain that this will be a very interesting debate, especially since we haven't heard much from either since they were chosen.  After the debate leave your comments about how you think the debate went and the candidate that won your vote.
