These pumpkins are the coolest things I have ever seen! I can barely cut triangles into a pumpkin and there are people carving Sarah Palin and Barack Obama's faces. These pumpkins are just a sample of how people are using Halloween to get political. One family even has a spider web with politicians trapped in it! Gone are the days of using ghosts and witches to scare the neighborhood. Just put a Palin pumpkin or Obama-lantern(yes I thought of that myself) in your window and everyone will go running and screaming from your house! Who would have thought Halloween could be so political?

A bit shady and grey, but this picture of a potential UFO does catch your attention. The "UFO" has a very frisbee like appearance, however given that the picture was taken in 1957, maybe we shouldn't be so quick to judge.

Thanks to secret files made public this last monday, this story which remained silenced for over 30 years has now been made public. Apparently two U.S. fighter planes were called on May of 1957 to respond and shoot down an unidentified "object" flying over the rural parts of England during the Cold War. The pilots found that the object would hover motionless and then suddenly reach speeds upwards of 7,600 mph. Seemingly impossible with the technology of the period.

The pilots had their lock on the object and were about to shoot twenty four rockets to bring it down, when instantly it vanished from radar. The pilots returned to base and were briefed, as routine, when a mysterious man threatened them with a "national security breach" if they ever said a word about the event. Now made public years later, any evidence implying UFO or otherwise, is very scarce. We may never know whether this incident was proof of extra-terrestrial life or a secret military project, as some have alluded to, but these pilots standby what they saw and are still hoping for answers.

When I saw this picture I felt good and thought it was a great photograph. A nice day with the flag strung up and the Washington Monument in the background. It’s a great shot and it caught my eye. Right away it made me think about what’s going on in our country. Of course in a few weeks a new president will be elected. This is going to be very important time for the future of the United States. I’m nervous about what’s in store for the future, how about you?
This photo is from an article about a national poll that was recently done concerning the current state of the country. Only one quarter of the people polled felt good about the way things are going. I myself feel unsure about the direction of the country. It seems that other people are unsure as well. The article states that people are scared, are you scared of what’s going on? This simple photo of the flag has stirred many emotions.

This photo was taken in Afghanistan and it looks to me as if Afghanistan guards are stopping cars for no apparent reason. When actually,a woman who was 34 was gunned down by someone from the Taliban,for trying to spread her faith: Christianity throughout Kabul Afghanistan. In this photo the guards were actually stopping taxi cabs to see if they knew what happened to the woman and why. The Taliban did take full responsibility for their actions, but in reality is it necessary to kill someone for what they believe in? Last year a group of 23 South Korean aid workers from a church group were taken hostage in southern Afghanistan. Two were killed and the rest were released. In 2001 with international aid workers including two Americans were imprisoned and charged with preaching Christianity.
When is this going to end? These people are just here to help those who need it, they want nothing more then to serve the lord and know that in some way they are helping people. If people are willing to learn a new faith and want to change their lives for the better, they should have that right. They shouldn't be afraid of being murdered for something they believe in.
