Fugitive On Loose In Benld

For anyone who lives on the Illinois side by Benld, Illinois keep an eye out, local police are searching for a fugitive on the run. I've talked to a few of them and none will say what the charges are or why he's running or if he's dangerous. They had Mt. Olive come in last night and all the officers I saw or talked to had their full gear on so I'm assuming they're not taking chances on this guy if he is dangerous so he must be dangerous is how I see it. They were showing his picture but I didn't get a chance to see it so I don't have a description, just be aware of your surroundings and the people by you. If I hear anything more I'll update later on.
Bailout Plan

So, Bush is going to talk to his "fellow Americans" about his bailout plan. If this doesn't get approved we probably are looking at a depression that will be just as worse if not more than during the last. If Bush hadn't been spending all that money on the freakin Iraqis trying to show them we care (and I don't know about anyone else but an Iraqi is an Iraqi (terrorist) and I'd do anything to see them off the face of this planet so why give them money) we wouldn't be where we are right now. Someone should have done the deed to Bush when he first became president and you all know what I'm talking about, someone tries on every president. Better start stocking up on groceries and gas because its gonna get even more outrageous than what it already is. Taxes are gonna go up too if this plan is approved so we have that to look forward too.
Earthquake

There was an earthquake reported at 4:37 a.m. this morning in West Salem, IL which is approximately 117.92 miles away from my doorstep. I initially felt the floor first (I live in a trailer) and I automatically knew it wasn't the wind. After I felt the floor then the whole house started to move and I heard a loud roar, kind of like a long rumble of thunder. I looked up and everything started moving, I've got little knick knacks on my television and they all moved forward about an inch, my china cabinet moved two inches off of the wall, nothing broke though. My trailer did shift however and our door is off about an inch now but it can be fixed. I called the police department afterwards and thats when I was told it was a 5.4 earthquake that hit West Salem, IL and traveled all this way to us. Needless to say, before I go in to work today we're moving stuff around in the house.
