Satisfries

Burger Kind recently introduced their newest product; the satisfry .A 70 gram packet of satisfries contains 6.5 grams of fat and 150.5 calories. McDonal's fries of the same amount contain 11.2 grams of fat and 226.8 calories. Although Burger King has released this wonderful justification of a fry, they still also sell their traditional fries that are packed with much more calories and fat. Satisfries are slightly more expensive than the traditional fry, being about ten more cents to buy a small satsifry than a small traditional fry. This new invention could potentially steal business from McDonald's and other fast food corporations. Only time will tell what the satisfry is capable of.

Starbucks Says Guns are Unwelcome, Yet Not Banned

 http://www.seattlepi.com/news/crime/article/Starbucks-says-guns-unwelcome-though-not-banned-4823265.php

Starbucks has become a target for gun control advocates, partially do to its tenancy to have a liberal image. Shocking the gun rights advocates, Starbucks decided to delay local laws. A growing trend for gun rights advocates on "Starbucks Appreciation Days" would be to show up in Starbucks cafes with firearms. Last month in Newton Conn., a store was closed down after finding out that another "Starbucks Appreciation Day" was being planned. This particular store was close by a school that a gunman had killed  20 children and 6 women. Starbucks corporations hope that bringing guns and making other costumers uncomfortable will stop. However, those who do will still be served. This is a please and thank you from Starbucks.

He told people at the hospital that he had decided in May to walk back over after he experienced difficulties with his motorcycle. Finally, from an official from Chile's prosecutor's office it was confirmed that Raul has been wanted for sexual child abuse.  His mother, Irma, is refusing to believe this to be true. She claims he is a hardworking man who doesn't have trouble with anyone. True or not, his warrant was quickly issued to April 22nd.

Putting a Stop to Chemical Weapons




              Congress members agreed to Obama's plans on bombing the military region under Bashar Assad. Obama claims that there is a lot more at stake than his credibility in this action. He stressed that he made that promise for a reason. Obama will still continue communicating with Russian President Vladimir Putin in hopes that he'll change his position. This action is a risk he finds necessary in order to put a stop to any further destruction that could be caused by the harmful chemical weapons used by Syria. This vote has to make its way through Senate and House committees before it can the two chambers for the final vote and decision.
