This afternoon was the vote for the confirmation of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. The final vote was 94-2 in favor of Hillary.

South Carolina Republican Jim DeMint and Louisiana Republican David Vitter were the two ‘no’ votes.
Whoa! Did you see this news? An airplane landed in the Hudson River today! It was taking off from LGA. But then for some reason the take off failed. The result was the plane in the river. And 150 people in that icy cold water! Not my idea of a good time right there!
Well, today marked the start of Hillary Clinton’s confirmation hearing. It is for her nomination to the position of Secretary of State. It seems that most of the questions were about Bill’s fundraising for his organizations. She fielded a lot of those types of questions. She also told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that she aims to “renew America’s leadership” in a world that has undergone an “extraordinary transformation” since the end of the Cold War and is now facing “great peril.”
With Barack Obama set to move into the White House this month, there is no shortage of books about him. In fact, there are loads of them! There are even some out there on Michelle Obama. Here is a sample of what you can find on Michelle Obama. And I’m sure we will see more of these types of titles!

I came across something interesting today. Of course weight loss is on a lot of people’s minds. Why? Simple. It is the most popular new year’s resolution.
I came across the 50 Million Pound Challenge. It’s an online fitness-challenge that was created by Dr. Ian Smith. It is sponsored by State Farm. It just celebrated its 3 millionth pound lost by participants nationwide. So check it out if you have made weight loss your resolution too. It’s a cool site.
Looks like current First Lady Laura Bush has gotten herself a book deal. Scribner is who will be publishing the book. They are an imprint of Simon & Schuster publishing.
The price of the deal has not been leaked to the press yet. So no one knows how much she is making as an advance for the book deal. The estimated the price for Mrs. Bush’s memoir is at $3.5 million to $5 million.
The book is described by Laura Bush to cover “events and people I’ve met in my life, particularly during my years in the White House.”
Don’t get too excited about reading it though. It is not expected to be published until sometime in 2010.
