Gary Coleman funeral plan 'pending' as executor takes over

Gary Coleman died on May 26th and arrangements for his funeral are still being made. Shannon Price, his ex wife, had made plans to have an evening service but Coleman’s life-long friend Dion Mial says that Price has no right to an opinion on what happens to Coleman’s body or the funeral. Coleman had to be put on life support on Thursday after he had a bad fall, and by Wednesday, his ex-wife decided to take him off life support and he died that day.

I listened to the 911 call that Coleman’s ex wife made and she doesn’t even sound sad or upset on the phone call. I don’t think that she should have any say in what happens to the body or about the funeral. Even though they lived together she didn’t seem like she cared very much when he fell. She wouldn’t put pressure on his head wound or help him at all because she was too grossed out by the blood and she was afraid she was going to have a siezure. I think that if someone cares about somebody else then they wouldn’t just watch them bleed to death because they were scared that something bad would happen to them. The person that cares about Coleman most should decide where he is burried, and that sure isn’t his ex wife.

BP tries again to cap well as protests against oil giant set to start

On Thursday, BP severed a damaged riser pipe which helped make progress in containing the ruptured oil well. Even though they have made progress, the oil could continue to pour into the Gulf of Mexico until the end of August. This disaster has lasted for more than 45 days now and BP is getting attacked from every angle. They released an ad campaign trying to improve their bad reputation. Tony Hayward apologizes in the campaign and says that he is going to “make this right.”

I think that it’s about time that they make progress on this oil spill. It has been 45 days and things just keep getting worse. The spill is very close to Florida now and it could continue to get worse until August. This is a horrible disaster. 11 people died when the oil rig exploded in April and the United States has to spend millions of dollars building sand walls to prevent the oil from getting to the shore of Louisiana. The oil spill is killing fish and other wildlife that live in the ocean and on shore. This mistake made by humans isn’t only affecting us, it’s affecting the environment too which is unfair. 37% of the Gulf is already off limits for fishing and it’s just going to keep getting worse.

Charge to Obama: 'Go off!'

During the weeks of the oil spill off the Gulf of Mexico, President Obama has been nothing but calm. The longer it takes for the spill to be stopped and cleaned up, the angrier people get at Obama instead of the oil company of BP. This is the worst oil spill in American history and director Spike Lee urges Obama to go off because this is a disastor. Many people are waiting for the Obama to take charge and inspire them like he did during is election. A senior political analyst for CNN named Gloria Borger says that we got the president we elected.

I agree with Spike Lee. This is a serious issue that is affecting a lot of wildlife and it’s about time Obama does something about it. Obama has seemed too calm about the oil spill and if the president doesn’t seem motivated then America isn’t going to be motivated to clean up the spill either. The Presidents job is to inspire America to work together to improve the country. Obama has only been to the sight of the spill twice and he isn’t putting in an effort to make any moving speeches like he did during his presidential election. Obama tried to impress the country when it came to being elected but now that he is elected, he has lacked the powerful speeches that America needs. He claims that the oil spill really hits home because he grew up in a place where the ocean was very important, but if he really is concerned, then he should start showing it.
