Happy New Year!
The Fiscal Cliff deal was signed, and though it may not be the perfect solution, at least people know what to expect going forward into tax season. In other national news, yesterday was also the first day back to school for the Sandy Hook students.
Here is what I am reading this weekend:
Al Jazeera Seeks a Voice Where Gore Failed: NY Times Al Gore caused quite a stir when his Current TV was sold to Al-Jazeera.

I personally love Al Jazeera, contrary to popular belief it’s an actual REAL NEWS channel that doesn’t pull any punches or hold anything back. News stations such as Fox News, CNN, etc rarely show actual footage. Al Jazeera has captured the entire Syrian conflict without holding anything back. Additionally very rarely do I see “Snooki is pregnant” or “Kim Kardashian is pregnant with Kanye West’s baby” on Al Jazeera. I feel that if more U.S. news stations conducted their business the way Al Jazeera does, then Americans would view the world very differently.
