Incredible......Score?

This weekend Stan Lee and several of the Marvel Comic fans had something to smile about. The 2008 release of the Incredible Hulk. Although the movie grossed an estimated $54.54 million dollars, a respectful sum, lead actor Edward Norton decided not to promote the film. There are disputes over who wrote, or did what, on the movie itself with most of the credit going to X-Men 3 writer Zak Penn. Penn reportedly mapped out the movie and wrote the original draft. But in 2007 Norton rewrote the Penn screenplay to boost the characters of the Hulk, especially his alter ego Bruce Banner. The largest surprise in this movie is a hint that there is something bigger to come, something that will make Marvel fans everywhere keep smiling and it begins with one word, "Stark." Overall this Incredible Hulk was undoubtedly a little better than the last with a much more intensely real Bruce Banner thanks to Norton.

DNC Rules: Hillary Heading Out?

After months of primaries and caucus' trying to catch up to Barrack Obama's 2052 delegates former first lady and New York Senator Hillary Clinton seems to be on her way out. With Montana and South Dakota primaries on Tuesday it appears that she will not have enough delegates behind her to compete for the highest office in the land after all. Obama almost had a 200 delegate lead on the Senator but after the DNC ruled yesterday on the delegates from Michigan and Florida he was scaled back a bit as they were divided. In the end it left Senator Clinton with 1877 delegates and Obama with 2052 overall. But the campaigning is not over yet for the Clinton camp. Clinton is looking forward to Puerto Rico's decision and the fifty five delegates they have to offer. And while Obama has not been to Puerto Rico in over a week Clinton will have visited 48 of the territories 78 municipalities by the end. Will it be enough?

Edwards Backs Obama

Remember Senator John Edwards of North Carolina? Well he has partaken in at least two Presidential elections in the past few years once as a VP candidate to John Kerry and this previous year as one of the many Democratic candidates. Yesterday Senator Edwards put his money on Barrack Obama instead of Hillary. His endorsement of the candidate might have secured Obama the win for the Democratic Presidential nominee. Howard Dean, one time Presidential candidate himself and head of the Democratic Party, wants to see a clear candidate emerge by June. He may not have to wait that long. With Clinton trailing Obama by a hundred some delegates it is almost certain that her campaign is winding down. Clinton reportedly said to reporters, "I have a great deal of respect for Senator Edwards, he and I have a lot in common … I imagine that Senator Edwards’ endorsement will be of some help to Senator Obama in Kentucky, but I think that what matters are the people who actually vote." And we will have to see where it is that vote lands. For this and other news please go to www.foxnews.com or www.cnn.com.

Security Breach

As news has spread about Senator Obama's passport being breached now comes the news that he was not the only Presidential Candidate whom someone had gained access to. Senator John McCain and Hillary Clinton's passport information was also breached. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a personal phone call to Presidential candidate Omaba about the situation and measures being taken to make sure such information remains as safe as possible and out of the wrong hands. Clinton's information was accessed in the summer of 2007 during a training exercise where employees were encouraged to enter names of family members, but one chose Senator Clinton. The two people responsible for accessing Obama's information are now without a job and the third has been reprimanded. Now it's all a matter of digging for the truth as to why and what were these people expecting to find or gain from breaching passport information? According to foxnews.com John McCain issued a statement saying "The U.S. government has a responsibility to respect the privacy of all Americans.

GIANTS BY A LONG SHOT!

I am certainly a huge fan of the NFL, and my two favorites went to the Super Bowl this year. So that goes without saying that it was hard to get behind just one certain team but I knew I was not going to be disappointed either way. I think it is about time the NYG's got theirs, but on the other hand I really wanted to see the Patriots go for 19-0. Now that would have been history in the making but as I said, it's all good. The first half rounded off with the NYG's getting 3-0 and then in the second quarter a surprise pull by the Pats with 7-3. That score remained through the third quarter. In the forth, it was appeared to be no contest. Everyone knew it was going to be the Pats, 14-7 but in a surprise upset the NYG's had luck on their side and in one brief second the game flipped to 17-14 Giants in the lead. Amazing game, great players, and even better plays. Good game guys and for the Pats, there's always next year guys. For this and other Super Bowl updates please go to www.nfl.com.

Microsoft Bids on YAHOO

Martin Luther King Jr.

Most of my generation was not born during the 1960s and the Civil Rights Movements which took place. But the one thing I will tell you is that the we can all thank Martin Luther King Jr. for is a voice. He gave a voice to those who had not had one in this country for several decades, even centuries. His "I Have a Dream" speech inspired millions and brought about the Civil Rights Act which President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law. And although historians argue and debate today about Kings message being lost among that single speech, arguing that children only remember him because of it we all still remember him for his courage, his faith, and his leadership in what was one of our nation's hardest moments in history.
