Encyclopædia Britannica fights back against Wikipedia, soon to let users edit contents

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica_fights_back_against_Wikipedia,_soon_to_let_users_edit_contents?curid=119813

Encyclopedia Brittanica, the famous encyclopedia, is now to let users edit their articles in order to combat with Wikipedia, the even more famous encyclopedia. Starting next week, users will be able to suggest edits to posts, and then the Brittanica editors will review them, and make the necessary edits.

I think that this is stupid, because everybody uses Wikipedia instead on Encyclopedia Brittanica. As a matter of fact, this is the very first time that I have ever heard of Encyclopedia Brittanica.

On the 23 of January, 2009, David Patterson, Governer of New York, named Kirsten Gillibrand, 42, as the new Senator of New York, after Hilary Clinton. "I believe I have found the best candidate to become the next senator from the state of New York. She is dynamic, she is articulate, she is perceptive, she is outspoken," said Paterson at a news conference. She is a member of the Democratic Party. She was chosen after Caroline Kennedy, daughter of former President John F. Kennedy, withdrew from the race due to unspecified personal reasons, even though being the leading candidate. She was sworn in yesterday.

I think that she is a very good choice for the job, and she will fill the shoes left by former Senator Clinton.

US Senate confirms Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State.

Well, it was confirmed yesterday that Hilary Clinton, the former First Lady and Senator from New York, is now President Obama's Secretary of State. So, she will get to be in the White House after all... except she won't be living there, she will be working there. Many people supported her in this, such as former Presidentials Candidates, Senator John McCain, and Senator John Kerry. After the Senante voted, she was confirmed in at 5:29 P.M. local time, and resigned her Senate seat shortly thereafter. New York Governer David Patterson is to appoint her replacement.

I think that now that Obama has Hilary on the team, he will do amazingly well with fixing many of America's problems, such as the economy, and the wars.

President-Elect Obama to President Obama.

Yes, the moment that we have been waiting for is finally here. Ever since people started thinking about who would replace George W. Bush, we've wondered as to who it could be. Some said Hilary Clinton. Some said Rudy Guilani. Some said Al Gore. Some said John McCain. But no, they were all wrong. Barack Obama won the election on November 4, 2008. And today, January 20, 2009, he will be sworn in as President. Today is a historical day, because the first black President is getting sworn in.

My personal opinion on this is that America has finally proven that they are sorry for what they have done to the black people, by electing an African-American President. I think that it is great, not only because he's black, but I believe that Barack Obama will solve all, or near all, of the problems in the world.
