Five Favorite Front-Page Features #8

5. Kansas City fire...kills 1 and injures 15.  The interesting thing about this one is that because I have enough friends in the Kansas City area on Facebook--that I heard about this via statuses before I saw it on the news.  http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/50880153#50880153 

4. Danica Patrick... I am not a NASCAR follower...but I love it when women break barriers.  Congrats on being the first women to win pole position at Daytona.  Who cares if she doesn't win?

3. "Blade Runner" Bail Hearing...I have a feeling this will become just like the Italy case with Amanda Knox---nobody knows who did what and it drags out FOREVER!

2. Sequestering the Budget...The automatic spending cuts apparently go into effect on March 1st.  I don't talk about which way that I lean with any political issue...its the teacher in me...and the fact that I don't like debating with people very much.  But what is bugging me about all of this is that the media is making the government into a bad guy....and we probably don't have all the information.  I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy but it would be helpful if we could all work together so that it doesn't affect so much of daily life (if you listen to one side) or affect so much of the deficit (if you listen to the other).

1. Snowstorm hits the Midwest...and then we get the first days of above 32 degrees out here.  Got to love the weirdness of the end of winter.  The "cool" thing about this video is that 141-Mason-64 are all about 5 minutes from my house.  Grateful that my family is safe...  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/02/22/winter-snow-storm-midwest/1938249/ 

If that is the correct side of the freeway..I have been stuck
there before for 2 hours too...due to an accident
