New York Times: Thursday, November 17, 2011

The lead for story about US marines going to Australia was amazing.  It was short, but full of information.     The read knew exactly what he or she was going to read about in just one sentence.  The closer, however, was no  so successful.  It seemed to trail off into a different topic, talking more about Afghanistan more than the problems with China.

I can't believe that someone would actually try and shoot the white house.  I heard about the story before I read it in the paper, but every time it comes up it is even more shocking.  People have the right to protest, but violence against the white house is just asking to spend the rest of your life in jail.
