River of Doubt
Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest president in the USA history. After Theodore lost the election, he went to South America to visit his son Kermit and they had a challenge to explore the River of Doubt. In a few days the former president Roosevelt suffered from Malaria with a 105 degree fever. Thanks to Roosevelt’s leather boots he survived a venomous snake bite. Kermit almost drowned from his paddler in the accident in one of the rapids. Luckily everyone survived except from 3 men. Theodore Roosevelt was on a losing streak when he went to Brazil because he lost the election.In the 1912 election Roosevelt only got 300,000 votes out of 15,000,000 votes. Both articles talked about how the river of Doubt is now Rio de Roosevelt. Both articles talked about how Windrow Wilson won the 1912 election. Both articles went in depth about the exploration. I think Theodore Roosevelt really did get Malaria in the Amazon (like said in time magazine) because he had carried a case of morphine his whole life and so he was more vulnerable to catch a disease like Malaria. I went on Google and search did President Roosevelt really have Malaria and the answer was yes in 3 sources. The river claimed its first life on March 15 when one of the camaradas, a man named Simplicio, drowned while attempting to rescue Kermit's overturned canoe.

google reader vs technorati
I think google reader is easier and more organized than Technorati. Also I got to give technoati the benefit of a non-wasteful website. You see making an account on any website is a waste of time but on Technorati you can make an account but it’s not forced.
