Whitney Houston Back in Rehab

Whitney Houston is probably best known as an iconic singer with an incredible voice. What some people may not realize is that she has been in and out of rehab for an extremely long time now. 


The 47 year old singer has been battling alcohol and drug addiction for several years now and after being released from a rehabilitation facility she has reportedly signed into another facility to deal with these unresolved problems. 


Her decision was reportedly made after a night of partying after she saw a Prince Concert. Obviously the singer went a little overboard and decided that the best thing to do for herself was to check back into rehab. 


Noticing a trend in celebrity rehab check ins one can only see that stardom does have its downfalls. Being in the spotlight is definitely not an easy thing to do and handle and sometimes the only thing you can do is realize that you need help. Thankfully Houston has made this realization.

Osama Bin Laden: Dead At Last

Osama Bin Laden, leader of the terrorist group, Al Qaeda, has finally been killed.


I think of this man as a fail because of what he has done to this country. Anyone who can kill people without feeling guilty is less of a man than he thinks he is. And now, after years of searching and waiting the murderer has finally gotten what he deserved. 


Here is what went down. On Sunday May 1, 2011, U.S Navy Seals went into a secret location in Abbottabad, Pakistan because of a lead they had been following for a while. They then proceeded to shoot and kill Osama's son, advisors, and the leader himself. A women was also caught in the crossfire that was exchanged. Al Qaeda actually only shot two bullets at the Seals who are now known as national heroes because of the work they did. 


Osama's demise was greeted with hundreds of thousands of ecstatic citizens who rejoiced the falling of this horrible man. People in Washington D.C. crowded around the White House singing patriotic songs and celebrating. 


Barack Obama, himself, appeared to America late Sunday night to tell the nation what actually happened. In his speech he said how the families of people who died on 9/11 could now rest peacefully knowing that the battle was ending. But now what will Al Qaeda do to avenge their fallen leader? It is scary to think that all they have to do is retaliate to potentially cause a war greater than the one thats currently going down oversees. One can only hope that now that the groups leader is gone the group itself will dissolve into a thousand pieces.
