2nd Unit Topic

I am having kind of a hard time deciding on what topic to choose because I am afraid the one I want to do is too broad. I am interested in doing stem cell research but it is obvious that it is a huge field. Also both of the presidential candidates have the same position on stem cell research so I feel like this could give me less information to deal with. So my next idea is to do something on Joe Wurzelbacher who was the plumber that was mentioned in the presidential debate tonight. Joe got a chance to speak with Obama earlier this week at a campaign appearance in Toledo and he told Obama that his tax plan would prevent him from buying the business that he was wanting to buy. McCain took the liberty of bringing this issue up in the debate tonight and Obama once again stated this is untrue. Personlly...I'm getting sick of that. I think that this would be an interesting topic particularly because this is an interesting angle to approach the tax plan by.

humorous article

My humorous argument that I found is discussing the sponsers for the Democratic National Convention. They are basically just poking fun of the sponsers and how they serve the democrats I found it quite entertaining.


The following is a selection of official sponsors and vendors to the Democratic National Convention.

Pepsi Fountain Drinks: Official provider of Barack Obama's favorite beverage: a 32 ounce Big Gulp combining Pepsi, Mountain Dew, root beer, Cherry Pepsi, cream soda, and Sierra Mist.
denver.craigslist.org: Official black metal futon frame provider to anyone who can come pick it up this weekend.
Microsoft: Bringing some Verizon XV6900s on the off chance that thousands of iPhones suddenly malfunction during the height of the convention.
HillaryEdwards2008.com: Bought this ad space for DNC in mid-2007; non-refundable.
Pop Secret: Official microwaveable popcorn provider.
Jiffy Pop: Official stovetop popcorn provider.
Mancuso's Body Shop: Official provider of fliers on windshields of every car in convention venue parking lot.
Volkswagen, Birkenstock and Starbucks: Official providers
