  [9:06PMET by Skyler on twitter] Huntsman is at  one % because he didn't focus on Iowa #iacaucus
 [ 9:08PMET  by Kathy Writer for mychiller] Younger people go for Paul , and more young are out tonight.  Santorum is getting more Christian Conseratives. more Independents are going to Paul.
[9:12PMET by Skyler]   Tea Party could be effecting the Ronmey numbers. My first prediction said Bachmann gets second but the Tea Party votes are split up at this time so it's harder for them to consolidate.

[11:21PMET BY Skyler] Gingrich goes after Paul says he's dangerous to America, and Mitt Romney is getting to his 25 votes ahead
[11:24PMET By Kathy]  It just means that Newt is angered about the results that he wants to fight on , that's his fighting spirit.
[11:25PMET By Skyler] Gingrich shows some nice words to Santorum ... maybe he is preparing to maybe have some ally with him

Your Decision 2012: Herman Cain Announces He is suspending is champaign

NetFlix Canceles Qwikster

By Ryan B of mychiller money 
 Today Netflix backtracks on separating it's  DVD and streaming services. Before it even began. Here's my reason why I think so.
 (1)Customers didn't like it.

 Netflix announced earlier in the summer they are going to be raising their prices this made their subscribers mad, then they announced that they were going to split the services, that was last month. Consumers were mad but why? Well you would have to either choose between streaming only or DVD only or fork more and pay for both.  Netflix still has much more in DVD's than it does in streaming. Qwikster and Netflix would be two separate websites , two separate bill charges, too much work.  
(2) Share Holders didn't like it.
     After Netflix unveiled its Qwikster plans, its stock, which had been tumbling since July, fell another 25 percent — from $155 on Sept. 16 to $117 last Friday.
  But we did forget something , they aren't changing that price hike plan that they made earlier this summer . That's what caused this trouble
 Netflix was also afraid of competitors  readying to swoop in and take the anger and put it to their advantage, Dish Network's Blockbuster for example. Listening to the customer in a subscriber based business is important and they understood that it was hurting them in the long term.

It happened 10 years ago: remembering 9/11:

   We remember  the words hearing the sky in New York city was a perfect crisp blue and the sun was shining . only then to be blackened by a the World Trade center being attacked by hi-jacked planes. How have we as Americans gone in the past few years. Remember that feeling of being sad on that day, but hope prevailed and people  started acting like people should. Hateful act so wrong so murderous was met with sadness, hope and revenge. Over 3000 people died and the New York skyline was changed  a great hole was left literally and in people's hearts. For many it's not hard to forget this event and what it brought. Terrorism was the word of this new century now,  We shouldn't fear we should learn. We should never this day forget , but it's history now and will always be , time goes on. For those families who lost them it's a painful day by day remembrance.

Opinion by Semma Lennox : American government wants it's hit

    Opinion BY Semma Lenox for Croglog

     The American government wants it's hits. As tries to figure out how to raise the debt ceiling and save that good credit rating of it. America does not deserve a good credit rating it has. If any person had debt like this , they could not raise their debt ceiling so they can go on spending or they won't have a good credit rating.
      Making cuts has been called evil you are going to throw grandma over a cliff and make her work till she's 90. Which is false. Making cuts is moral obligation to our later generations. The government has been spending too much over. It's Former President Bush's fault and Current President Obama's fault. The Liberals and Democrats want to raise taxes, wait a second they make about $2 trillion dollars a year from taxes so what the heck are doing with it? They need their fix of more money to waste and that's not what we need. America's government is an addict they need their hit of money and we need to get them into rehab.

The Republican Change

Politics  make a decision 2012  Opinion  Strategy
 By Robert G for mychiller news

As the 2012 election campaign has pretty much started it surprises me to find a different Republican Party from before. Back in 2008 they were defending the Iraq war much like in 2004 . War-hawk , John McCain became  the nominee for his party in 2008. President Obama when he was still a candidate was being the "anti-bush" man he wanted to make sure you associated John McCain with Former President Bush. He said he was going to close "Gitmo" but it's still open. He said he was going to end the Iraq war , there are still American troops there, he also expanded how many are in Afghanistan and now involved in Libya.  Republicans in congress and the candidates are now  saying get out of Libya and the other places because it costs too much. A change has been made alright. Sunday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was fearing his party is become an isolationist party, sounds like 1900's there. I think that is a good move all these going into conflicts doesn't help the United States in the long run .

Opinion: She still is not going to run

Opinion by John Werth for mychiller news

    Sarah Palin is doing a bus tour, that means she's going to run!  I said a couple of weeks ago that Mrs.Palin will not be running for the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2012 , I still say that.  Sarah Palin who may have the taste for the Presidency in 2009 may have lost it  in the few months. She is now doing books , tours, and TV.  She may rather be wanting to have a TV show or a radio show or better yet she may be a person who brings donors to the  Republicans helping other candidates run and show how conservative they are. She's been torn apart by the media in the past couple years , What do you think they would do if she was a presidential candidate? 

Make A decision 2012: Opinion : Why Hucakbee chose not run for president, and Sarah Palin probaly won't on't

Opinion  Make a Decision 2012 
BY John Werth  for Mychiller News

  Mike Huckabee announced , Saturday, that he was not running for President, I am not surprised by that. Think about this he is  a TV star now and he wants to do daytime tv soon, I would think. He said his heart was saying do it run for president. But really ? No just as much as Trump was not ever going to run for president  , the TV networks wasted their time. Why money? He does two things run a business , and be  TV star. Huckabee is making more money, speaking and doing TV then he would be as president.  Now to Sarah Palin, why do I think she's not going to run.  Fox News Channel has a slot opening up soon? Seriously , though she's making more money as the former governor of Alaska.   She's working on TV shows and writing books , being a political anylist so why be President? It's less fun. Get the point they aren't running because of stardom , many things changed since 2009.

Opinion : I wanna see a body

By Darina for myhiller news

   Dear people who wanna see Osama's body,

  What is wrong with you , you wanna see the body of a dead man on your TV and on line? President Obama said something very smart yesterday not to drag a body out like a trophy. I do not support Mr.Obama on many things but this time I agree. That is something he did , his followers cheering the deaths on 9-11 and showing bodies of people he and his people killed. He and his group cheered after the deaths. He was an evil man , I don't wanna seen an evil man on TV dead or alive. Someone told me that the body should be  seen because it would show that this is what you do if you mess with the United States. Sarah Palin tweeted something close to that. That's great don't mess with us is your message, maybe they shouldn't brag about their doing , to show the world that we can act with some class even if we kill someone who is  a murderer that we don't brag about it and not show the body.

Opinion: OBAMA'S Big Mistake

OPINION 
Opinion for Croglog by Lewis O. ( A contributor to croglog , his views don to represent the views of Croglog)

   President Barark Obama tried to give his reasoning for the “No Fly zone” military action in Libya, A reason that was good to interfered in the affairs of another country that was not interfering with another country. A good reason to try to knock a leader out power of said country. I checked my calendar and made sure it wasn't 2003, it sure sounded like it was 2003. “Well Gadaffy is killing is own people”, some try to reason as answer. Mr. Obama and his crew tried to make a reason of why they are sending our streched military to Libya. They are helping people called the rebels , we don't even know who they are ,they could be terrorists groups and we helping people with out full information.

Washington DC- The House passed a spending bill that will cut $56billion  and  supply enough money for the government  to run for 3 more weeks. This is the second time this month since the first spending bill ,that was passed, allows the government to run until Friday. This is buying more time while the Republicans and the President  hash out an agreement over the  by a 271-158 vote despite opposition from some tea party-backedconservatives who said it "kicks the can down the road" instead of imposing steep and immediate spending cuts.

Opinion: Don't interfere in Libya

     James  M.- A mychiller contributor   Opinion 
 Wrote this piece his views do not represent the views of mychiller-croglog  his views Represent his own views.
        The protesting in Libya over  Gaddafi , who led the country for 41 years , is getting a  crackdown by the supporters of the dictator. The U.N froze his assets,last month. Talks of no-fly zones and invasion , is haste. The man is crazy. It's sad to see what he is doing  but at the same time if we try to fix it he could probably go crazy and do unthinkable things. The situation is delicate  and needs to be treated carefully , the risks. The Pros and cons of what invasion or no fly zone means.  We should learn about thinking hasty doesn't work as well we have examples of that in chances of crisis. Just as in Egypt , what will happen shall happen and  less people will die if we don't interfere in my own mind.

       Governor Scott Walker (R) of WI announced Thursday, he will start the lay-off process of 1,500 state workers if State senate Democrats who are hiding in Illinois to refuse budget cut bill. With the 14 senators gone the state senate can't a have a quorum. They say that the measures will cripple the public unions. Walker's budget proposal hinges on the state saving $330 million over two years from forcing state workers to pay more for their benefits. He's also cutting aid to schools and local governments by about $1 billion, reductions he says they can't handle without the freedom he gives them through eliminating nearly all collective bargaining with public workers.

A Kansas church that attracted nationwide attention for its angry, anti-gay protests at the funerals of U.S. military members has won its appeal at the Supreme Court, an issue testing the competing constitutional rights of free speech and privacy.

The justices, by an 8-1 vote, said Wednesday that members of Westboro Baptist Church had a right to promote what they call a broad-based message on public matters such as wars. The father of a fallen Marine had sued the small church, saying those protests amounted to targeted harassment and an intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Rising Gas Price

     Money  Consumer     
    Shelly Mychiller Money-
       Gas prices this week have increased 17¢ following a high rise of oil prices which are scratching between $90 to $100. Gas prices were highest in Hawaii, where drivers paid $3.761 a gallon, on average. Wyoming had the lowest gas prices at roughly, $3.032 a gallon.  This could effect the American economy ,which is mostly consumer spending based . Oil prices have been driven higher by political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, where much of the world's oil comes from. Despite the surge in prices this week, the amount of oil that has been taken off the world market has been relatively minimal.

He had to step down from the House ways and means committee earlier this year due to the charges. Other charges involve alleged income tax and financial disclosure violations, as well as improper use of government mail service and letterhead.

BP Oil Spill day 100

April 20th 2010 

Today July 28th marked the 100th day of the BP oil spill in the gulf the story started April 20th  when a ocean riser blew up. It killed 11 people. Then the oil started gushing out into the Gulf of Mexico. BP had tried these attempts to stop it : "Top Hat" "Top Kill" , a cap, and finally a better cap. That on around day  89 no oil leaked in the gulf  for the first time since April 19th.
Attacks and anger on BP happened including on the CEO of the British Oil Comany ,Tony Hayword, was ousted from day to day in U.S spill and now being transfered from CEO to a leader at BP Russia.   The economic impact may be worse  fishers in the gulf had to stop work  because of the spill and many other oil workers in the gulf had to quit due to stops on banning of oil drilling. Also due to beaches being closed there was really no one coming to the beaches due to fear of oil. On day 100 we are still waiting for the relief wells to finally happen and stop this all. Most of the oil has been degrading in the water due to natural processes.  Scares happend too including 2 tropical storms which gladly did nothing to the oil.

many beaches have been closed due to the spill.

So the work still has to be done to soon , maybe revive the gulf area which was hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and now this almost 5 years later. The oil spill has cost a lot and it will continue.

Now here's a video  with more coverage  from CNN.

Breaking News House Votes 224-206 to Approve Rule for Health Care Debate

Sunday March 21st 2010
Mychiller news-  The House voted 224-206 Sunday to approve the rules for debate of a massive health insurance overhaul that evidently satisfies few but is viewed by House Democrats as better than no reform.
House Republicans were doing all they could to slow the increasingly inevitable march toward the overhaul and were joined by 28 Democrats who voted with Republicans against the rule, which laid out plans to limit debate.
Two more showdown votes were left -- passage of the Senate bill and then the package of changes to the Senate-passed bill, including deletion of special Medicaid benefits for Nebraska known as the " cornhusker kickback" and other deals made to win Senate support.
President Obama will have to sign the Senate bill into law before any "fixes" bill goes to the Senate under fast-track rules that would enable Democrats to pass it without facing a Republican filibuster. Democrats control 59 of the Senate's 100 seats, one vote shy of the number needed to overcome bill-killing filibusters from a united GOP.
But senators have given no guarantees they will pass the fixes, which are strictly the wishes of House Democrats.

Dismissing calls for months to scrap the plan and start over, House Democrats grew increasingly confident throughout the day that they would have the 216 votes needed to pass the legislation approved in the Senate on Christmas Eve.

Shame on you : Abc News ?

Written by Terry of mychiller.com 


Abc News paid for an interview with the accused Casey Anthony , the one in court for the murder of her daughter allegedly, they paid $200,000. Something strange to me thought they fired 400 staffers about 2 weeks ago to save money . Though Abc Said :"In August 2008, we licensed exclusive rights to an extensive library of photos and home videos for use by our broadcast platforms, affiliates and international partners," "No use of material was tied to any interview."

The payments were revealed Thursday in an Orange County, Fla., court proceeding, which was concerned with whether Anthony can be declared indigent and thus receive a taxpayer-funded defense.

Well then Shame on you ABC!  Don't pay for interviews you are  not  In touch magazine.  Because you pay for an interview you are tainting the news and not making it good for journalism. Don't do it again!!

Opinion: Toyota's big problem by Mary of mychilleropinion

Where in the world has this gone on too? Toyota is suffering badly now due to their safety problems  that have even caused hearings , I don't know how hearings help anything , many cars and models from Toyota and Lexus have been recalled to due to accelerator and break problems . Now my why is the government going to anything about this problem? Hopefully no because they would screw it up but then at that same time is Toyota credible anymore? Why should they be considered creditable? Now to make a decision but you have to tell Toyota yourself you are dissatisfied with Toyota then don't buy a Toyota.  We can do as many hearings as we want government but if  people get hurt by this it won't work out. Face it , we may have caused this ourselves we wanted cars that were energy smart and wanted cars that had  a way to use the time when you are stopped to power up your car. These are powered by computers and computers have glitches. So really why would I want a hybrid car if they can't it right?
