The Most Boring Club Meeting Ever?
The Conservative Political Action Convention took place this last weekend in Maryland. This gathering brought together all the main conservative political players to brainstorm the lyrics to their team song and to host a presidential nominee straw poll.
Who Got Voted The Conservatives Prom Queen?
Rand Paul got to wear the Conservative’s tiara as he won the straw poll with 31% of the vote. With this majority victory people will want to keep a look-out for Paul trying to take the White House’s crown in 2016. Some other results from the straw poll: Ted Cruz, cruised into second with 11%, Dr. Ben Carson claims the bronze medal with 9% of the vote. However, the main player to look out for was Sarah Palin who got a huge 2% of the vote…she kindly took the hint and flew back to Alaska.

First Class or Not, You’re Missing.
Early Saturday morning a Boeing 777 flying for Malaysian Airlines simply vanished somewhere between Vietnam and Malaysia. The flight was carrying 239 passengers including both Americans and small children.
Uncertainties:
There are many unknown factors that are being considered in this investigation. There was never a distress call from the cockpit, the weather was perfect for flying and no plane wreckage has been found anywhere in the flight path. The most likely plot is that the plane crashed into the sea and the plane’s fuselage has sunk, however, there are still too many unknowns to come to a conclusion.

Who are you?
One of the most confusing aspects of the investigation is that there were two passengers that boarded the plain with stolen passports…Not suspicious at all. The airline is still trying to figure out who these two unknown passengers were and if they possibly participated in any foul-play that caused the plane to disappear.
Quick Fire Updates:
Oscar Pistorius Murder Trial: South African Court is over a week into the trial of the supposed accidental killing of Pistorius’s girlfriend last Valentines Day. On Monday, Pistorius started sobbing and vomited during the testimony regarding his girlfriend’s wounds that killed her. The Court had to take a recess so Pistorius could collect himself.
Ukraine? No, Mykraine: Putin may be getting ready to move on from Ukraine. There are rumors that Russia’s Security Council has entered into settlement talks with Ukraine. These talks have the objective to take all of Ukraine’s citizens point-of-view into account. NATO is not convinced: they have deployed a monitoring jet to keep watch over Ukraine’s boarder.
Do you guys accept Bitcoin? After the suicide of young CEO and Bitcoin marketer, Autumn Radtke, the Bitcoin market has seen some questionable days. The market has been volatile and there has been an intensified search for who actually invented the Bitcoin. People are looking for answer and it might be a simple one: online currency is not the way to go.
Still no love for the NSA…At the South by Southwest technology conference this past week, both Edward Snowden and Jullian Assange criticized the NSA’s surveillance practices and wanted to make sure that the country did not forget about the crimes the NSA committed. So, in other words, refrain from sending racy text-messages still.
