Top 1 Political Line：Obama's Victorious Answer
Nov. 4, 2008
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."
—President-elect Barack Obama, delivering his Election Night victory speech in Chicago
Obama's election celebration in Chicago's Grant Park was a scene of overflowing joy, after the grueling presidential campaign ended with the upstart (and first African-American) on top. A different scene played out on on stage, however, where the new President-elect cut a serious and determined figure, eschewing self-congratulatory smiles in favor of a weighty speech warning of a steep climb ahead for the country, marked with "setbacks and false starts." But before outlining the challenge of a spiraling economy and danger overseas, Obama opened his speech with a tribute to the hope and optimism that galvanized supporters and fueled his unlikely campaign. Electing an African-American to the White House, a man unknown to most Americans just four years earlier, seemed to many a near-impossible task when he launched his campaign in 2006. As McCain made clear in his own speech that night, one didn't have to be an Obama supporter to marvel at the historic accomplishment.

第一名的Underreported News Story跟台灣有關耶!
是美國國防部搞大烏龍的新聞
台灣軍方訂購四個直升機電池
結果五角大廈竟然送來四枚飛彈引信
而且2006年送來的，2008年台灣發現後才跟美國講
五角大廈才知道這件事
(然後中國就很怒啊! 哈哈)
兩邊都好扯…
他們真的有在做存貨盤點嗎?
or there's another story?
hehe...

Top 1 Underreported News Story：
The Pentagon's latest nuclear snafu
Those helicopter batteries the Pentagon thought it had shipped to Taiwan back in 2006? In March, seven months after the Air Force lost track of six nuclear warheads that were inadvertently flown over the U.S., the Defense Department was informed that the batteries it meant to deliver to Taiwan had actually been fuses used to trigger nuclear warheads. Whoops. Though the shipments contained no nuclear material, this was still a potentially explosive mistake since China considers Taiwan part of its territory, making U.S. arms sales to Taiwan among the most sensitive points in U.S.-China relations. Amazingly, the fuses' absence managed to escape notice in at least six and possibly up to eight quarterly inventory checks. The U.S. only learned about the mix-up when the Taiwanese found themselves a few helicopter batteries short, dusted off the 2006 shipment and told the Pentagon what was inside.
