March already?

Even with the extra day, February went by awfully fast. I don't want to say there hasn't been any news, but I haven't been excited by anything specific this past week. Big things probably did happen, but nothing has stuck in my mind. Some headlines I can vaguely remember are:

- Mt. Kahluea erupted in Hawaii causing environmental damage.

- There was an earthquake in Southern Philippines today at a magnitude of 6.5.

See a pattern? Yes, the above relate to geography and the environment. I blame it on my Geography 12 class and my fascination in natural disasters. You must admit, man-made disasters don't boost egos, they just deflate until nothing.

Now in other news:

Fires were deliberately set on houses north of Seattle. Earth Liberation Front were believed to do this. The evidence? They wrote on a white sheet and signed it. This "ELF" group are what officials claim to be "Eco-Terrorists". They purposely destroy to prove a point about how people are destroying the environment? I don't understand them but I have labeled them to be "extreme tree-huggers".

Medyevdev wins election in Russia to become the new president who claims he will work closely with Putin.

Tensions are high between Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador. Apparently a rebel leader was killed and everyone is on alert. Chavez is obviously talking big, but nothing big will happen, it will be left alone soon.

The U.N. renewed sanctions on Iran due to their consistent refusal to halt uranium advancements and developments. Iranian President Ahmandinejad had just finished his trip to Iraq and is once again on the offensive. He said, "No one likes them". The 'them' refers to the United States of America. It could be true, but at his moment, Canada still likes them [until they break off NAFTA, then you-know-what will hit the fan]. At this point, Iran probably doesn't even care about uranium. It just wants to piss off the Americans.

Speaking of the Americans, an update on the campaign trail [good transition yes?]. Obama and Clinton are still going at it with no results. More McCain slams by random people, but otherwise, quite tamed for the Republicans.

Primaries tomorrow for both Democrats and Republicans are: Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, Texas. This day is believed to be the end for one of the Democratic hopefuls. One of? I mean Hillary Clinton. If she loses either Ohio or Texas, it is believed that she will become Mike Huckabee [no, not a baptist minister, she'll become irrelevant]. For the Republicans, nothing will change.

I promise to update tomorrow about the results from the four states. G'day.
