1.ABC News' Kate Snow and Eloise Harper Report: Senator Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., hit hard at her top rival at a GM plant in Lordstown, OH, saying, "Speeches don't put food on the table. Speeches don't fill up your tank, or fill your prescription, or do anything about that stack of bills that keeps you up at night."
Clinton continued, "Some people may think words are change. You and I know better. Words are cheap. You can't just talk about the special interests. You have to take them on."

Opinion
Hilary is going crazy honestly. She needs to stop talking and actually put her actions into use. She's being kind of hypicritical on behalf of her because she is saying stuff all the time and not taking action on it. People need to realize that Hilary just says what the people want to hear and we want to think that she is going to eventually take some kind of action.

2.The use of technology like blogs, mass texting and online phone banks has been key to Sen. Barack Obama's surprise sweep of recent primaries. The Illinois senator's campaign has been making use of a range of technologies -- from ringtones to SMS -- to inspire Obama-mania. And it's working. Obama's recent parade of victories in the primaries has given him a slight lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Opinion
Wow that would be really weird if the people had been using a lot of technology to set Obama at the top. I think people just need to do it the old fashioned way and just go in and vote and not doing this whole thing over phones and computers. Obama should win the easy way if he must because you can always change the amount of votes coming in through phones and technical stuff.

1.The Nalaga'at Theater in Jaffa, Israel's Old Port, has just opened and offers a unique and unforgettable experience.
At one and the same time, it houses the world's only theater group of blind and deaf actors, as well as offering visitors a restaurant where diners eat in complete darkness, and a cafe where all the waiters are deaf. It's a chance for those who can see and hear to taste the life of the deaf and blind.
The restaurant is called Blackout and is housed in a specially designed space sealed from all sources of light. Diners are briefed by staff before they enter. Mobile phones and all electronic devices are left in lockers outside.

Opinion
This is an awesome thing that they have started up. I mean that is so interesting that i would just go there to see how these people ran things in a place like this. Its so cool that the deaf and blind can get involved in something like that and have a great expirence in their lives. The people who thought of that had to have a lot in perspective because that would be hard to meet everyone's needs.

2.Okinawan lawmakers unanimously passed a measure Thursday condemning the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl by an American serviceman, as U.S. Marines in Japan began two days of training to tighten discipline.
The Okinawa prefecture (state) assembly also called for an apology and compensation for the alleged victim, and urged the United States to reduce the number of American troops stationed there.

Opinion
That is wrong and i am glad that they are making progress on this because girls after that have had crazy and messed up lives. Its good that they are actually taking action on it because these kind of things need to be stoped it is happening more and more for young girls and it is wrong and disturbing.
