This week I continued to read about the ongoing search for the Kansas City, Missouri 11-month old that went missing from her home several weeks ago. There have been a few new developments. The mom has changed her story (again), and has admitted that she was drunk the night her daughter went missing. She also said that the last time she saw her daughter was around 6:40pm instead of 10pm as she had originally stated. The police also got a warrant that kept the family from being able to return to their home. They have searched the house and removed several items for evidence. A cadaver dog was also brought into the house. The dog is trained to track and find the scent of a deceased person. It was reported that the dog did get “a hit”, as they described it in the articles. Baby Lisa’s parents still claim that they did not do anything wrong and that they refuse to believe that Baby Lisa is not alive. I still think this story is very odd. It seems to me that the mom is hiding something. I’m not sure about the dad, but something about the mom just rubs me the wrong way.

Another topic that I read quite a bit about was the Republican Presidential Debate that took place early this week in Las Vegas. I didn’t watch it, so all of my information has come from the many articles written about the event. Apparentley there was a lot of arguing and shouting between many of the candidates. Several articles have specifically talked about the arguing between Romney and Perry. It seems that Perry was a little aggressive with his verbal attacks on Romney, but that both candidates were exhibiting undesirable behaviors. There have been many quotes from people who watched the debate talking about how they were really disappointed with the way the candidates interacted with each other. Many people also commented on how they had really liked Perry but they are now hesitant to support him because of his behavior during the debate. Obviously people are either surprised or upset, or both, by how the debate actually went down. There have been several articles everyday since. 

I also read a few articles about Giuliana Rancic announcing she has breast cancer. I was interested in this because I have watcher her reality show before. She and her husband have been trying to have a baby and during the process, the doctor discovered the cancer. She has said that it appears they caught it early and she had surgery this week to remove the tumor. She has started radiation as well. She is still wanting to have a baby because she feels like her efforts to have a baby are what has saved her life.
