New York Times: Wednesday, October 26, 2011

I don't know a single thing about politics, but the article on the front page made it clear that the people are not happy with our governing body right now.  I'm not really surprised by this finding, but it's interesting to see that an actual study proves that people don't trust the US government.

I was surprised to read that Amazon was suffering a loss of income.  With the new Kindle Fire coming out, I figured that the company would see a huge increase in sales.  However, companies claim that their income has dropped in what seems to be every paper, so I doubt that Amazon will suffer for long, especially after people are buying and downloading apps on the new Kindles.

The photo on the front page that accompanied that haunted house story was an absolute riot.  The looks on those people's faces is priceless.  Photos like these make me want to read more into the story.  I think it's interesting that theme parks depend so much on Halloween themed events to bring in a lot of money.  It's clear how this presents challenges though.  People definitely get scared less easily in this day and age. All the ideas are almost used up.  I also couldn't help but laugh at the closer for this story.  Even after how much the new things scared the interviewed person, she noticed what was old and as phased by it at all.
