Headline News: 11/23/08
New information in the news today A school suggests Obama for its name A clinic burned by Rios who's in jail And Clinton accepts secretary game Construction workers injured building fined State Treasurer is speaking with the kids Then Dallas and Seattle soon to dine Economy has budgets wearing lids Race for attorney generally now is closed Car break-ins are once more a local spree A fatal crash near Salem closes Road A pitbull dies attacking deputy Today the homework in sixth grade just ran With talk of "Death of Santa" in the plan ***** Six people killed in Tijuana bar Explosive threat cause for school schedule change Mall shooter in Tukwila still at large Insurance Co rejects a landslide claim With cabinet positions being filled Obama's right on top of everything Teen runaway his body was found killed Drunk driver sentenced to six years in clink Police narcotics dog was struck by car ID cards stolen from gym locker rooms A plea of guilty for two fake bank guards I feel as though I'm buried 'neath this doom Prefer much lighter content when I choose That's why I hardly ever watch the news |
