Current Event

My current event that I turned in last week showed the popularity of the metro over the auto industry. I think that it is pretty clear to see especially considering the inauguration tomorrow. The metro is expecting record amounts of travellers of people coming from all over the Metropolitan area to see Obama. Of course there will be drivers coming in from other states, but since today all the bridges are closed. For me though, I'll be at cabaret rehearsal watching it all on T.V which certainly beats standing out in the cold.

So, we all know about Governor Blagojevich selling Obama's senate seat. This cartoon is playing off of just that. The fact that the cartoon is set up in store makes the government seem like they buy and sell whatever they choose without problem. Because of Blagojevich's actions, it may certainly seem that way. Still, the fact that he was caught counters the idea of this cartoon, showing that our government knows what is criminal or not, despite if the action is being made by a governor.
