Online story concerning WikiLeaks: "Robert Mugabe In an unduly optimistic 2007 cable titled "The End Is Nigh," Christopher Dell -- then America's ambassador in Harare, Zimbabwe -- predicted the dictator's imminent downfall. "To give the devil his due, he is a brilliant tactitian [sic]," says Dell. "However, he is fundamentally hampered by several factors: his ego and belief in his own infallibility; his obsessive focus on the past as a justification for everything in the present and future; his deep ignorance on economic issues (coupled with the belief that his 18 doctorates give him the authority to suspend the laws of economics, including supply and demand)." -- You know, to Christopher Dell, "Robert Mugabe" is probably just an alias for potUS Imam-a. Dell's description is how we all see potUS Imam-a.
---
WikiLeaks does send one very important message to our allies: Why does the potUS Imam-a keep such information at all? Storage of such just means there is a plan in place to use such info later.
---
Speaking of WikiLeaks, it will be interesting if the allies retaliate with exactly how they see potUS Imam-a.
---
As long as the WikiLeaks 'dump' is out there, hope someone recovers e-mails between potUS Imam-a and Rahm Emanuel revealing exactly how they feel about Pelosi, Reid, and the American voter.
---
Not letting the current tax rates expire is important as the economy hasn't recovered under these rates , and it shows that another tax cut will be better than any tax increase.
---
Saw an ad for a 'walk-in tub' in which an 'elderly' actress with a recently installed unit asks what is perceived to be her children, "Who's ready for high impact yoga?" Huh? What exactly is 'high impact yoga"?
---
A school system in "central Florida" has banned the use of "Christmas colors" (red & green) in classrooms. Not that I've ever seen Jesus depicted wearing red and green, if it's about religion separation, why aren't colors associated with Muslims, Kwanzaa, Wicca and Hanukkah banned. too?
---
L-E headline/story: "Two-year pay freeze for federal civilian workers to impact about 6,100 in Columbus metro area * The (AFGE) union president noted that while workers’ pay may be frozen, routine step increases in salaries and those from promotions are safe for now." -- This is a "freeze"? A 'freeze' is when things stop moving upward.
---
Buffalo Bill's receiver Steve Johnson actually said he blames God because he dropped a potentially game-winning pass in the end zone. Seems more like the work of Satan.
---
From the 'dreams can come true" department (courtesy of a fellow BCer): Barney Frank resigns from Congress to pursue dream job with TSA
---
Here's a question you can, no should, ask of any DUMB&DUMBERat politician you run into: "Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200, and a substantial tax cut save you $30?

From L-E story: "The 2,800 ballots mailed out automatically go to anyone who voted absentee via mail in the Nov. 2 general election, 600 of those to deployed military personnel, so not all of them will be returned, Boren said." -- This is disastrously wrong!
While sending out absentee ballots to the deployed is right because of the time and distance involved, sending out the other ones without requests is a recipe for fraud.
---
While on a news show Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham says that when he retires, he will get both military and Congressional retirement benefits so he is 'wiling' to forego Social Security benefits. Excuse me? Since when has the Congressional retirement plan been a part of Social Security? The fact that Congress has a separate plan has been quite an issue.
---
L-E headline: " U.S., S. Korea launch war games" -- Ooops. my bad. Thought Electronic Arts was announcing a new computer game for the holidays.
---
L-e story: "GENEVA — Swiss voters on Sunday approved a plan to automatically deport foreigners who commit serious crimes or benefit fraud, in a significant victory for the nationalist party that pushed the proposal against the will of the government." -- Looks like the Swiss have their own version of the T.E.A. Party. ....perhaps H.O.T. Cocoa?
---
L-E sub-headline: " Richt indicates he has no interest in Miami position " -- Hmmm, wonder if Alabama's Alumni group has already submitted Saban as a nominee?
---------------------

Sunday, November 28, 2010

From the 'suspicions confirmed' department: "The White House had said on Friday that it was Obama's upper lip that needed stitches. But on Saturday afternoon, the White House said it had made a mistake and it was the left side of Obama's lower lip that was sewn up." -- We aren't dreaming when we think Robert Gibbs doesn't seem to have a grasp of exactly what is actually going on.
---
From the 'how come' department: How come liberals will castigate the Southern Baptist ideal that women should "submit to their husbands" yet defend Muslim laws that put women under the thumb of men?
---
Police in Oregon have arrested 19-year-old Mohamed Osman Mohamud, a Somali teenager, for allegedly trying to detonate a car bomb in a crowd of revelers at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Portland. * Mohamud yelled "Allahu Akbar!" -- Arabic for "God is Great!" -- and kicked at federal agents as they arrested him. * Mohamud allegedly responded that he intentionally wanted to target a "huge mass that will ... be attacked in their own element with their families celebrating the holidays," CNN reported. * federal agents learned that Mohamud had been in contact with associates in Pakistan, seeking information or help on how to participate in jihad, or Islamic holy war * The documents quote Mohamud as telling agents that it might be easier to carry out a terror attack in Oregon than in New York, for instance, where security might be tighter. "It's in Oregon, and Oregon like you know, nobody ever thinks about it," he allegedly said. * This defendant's chilling determination is a stark reminder that there are people -- even here in Oregon -- who are determined to kill Americans," U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton told The Oregonian." -- Other than than 'mentioning' that Mohamud yelled "Allahu Akbar", and that Mohamud had been in contact with "associates" in Pakistan, there is nothing in this report saying he is of Muslim beliefs. Media political correctness is bringing us down!
---
From L-E story: "What are efficiency audits? “Efficiency audits are — more than anything we do now — they’re best practices in cities across the country that allow us to articulate through the central utilization of Excel spreadsheets in this process the return on investment in taxpayer dollars,” she (Mother Teresa Obamalinson) said. -- Huh? I don't think even Obamalinson understood what she said.
---
This is interesting: Looking at the overall vote cast in the mayoral race, Mother Teresa
Obamalinson only had 50+ percent of the vote in only 1 precinct (St Paul). FTR, Zeph Baker did so in 2 precincts.
---
I'm still amazed at the fact that the L-E is running only letters of endorsement for Mpther Teresa Obamalinson. Does the L-E expect us to believe no one has written in endorsing Baker?
-----------------------------

potUS Imam-a got busted in the lip playing basketball. Hmmm, wonder if he will be restricted to only talking from one side of his mouth for awhile. Libs, of course, hope he got busted on the 'right', while most Americans are praying his lips were stitched together.
---
Wonder if the Commander-in-Chief will give himself a 'Purple Heart" for being wounded, even though it was obviously 'very friendly fire' from 'the left'?
---
Wonder if Alabama alumni are re-evaluating Saban's contract for loopholes?
---
Online story: "SAN DIEGO (Nov. 26) -- A sophisticated cross-border tunnel equipped with a rail system, ventilation and fluorescent lighting has been shut down by U.S. and Mexican officials" -- Wonder if this was funded by the 'stim-YOU-LIE' package? It does have all the qualifications...mass transit, 'green' lighting, and was shovel ready.
---
Online headline: "US Warns Allies Over Upcoming WikiLeaks Release" -- What our Secretary of State and our military leaders should be saying is, "now you're gonna hear what we really think of you; live with it, and don't ever forget it!"
---
L-E headline: "Big New York insider trading probe spawns another" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought proof had been attained showing that scum is self-reproducing.
---
Carver.. you rock!
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies.” — Francois Fenelon, French theologian (1651-1715). --What a psychic! He predicted the DUMB&DUMBERat Trinity of Imam-a. Pelosi, and Reid 300 years ago!
---
There are two types of scanners being used by the TSA in airports. One is a "millimeter wave" amd the other is a "backscatter" that uses X-ray. Do you remember when there was an X-ray machine in children's shoe stores/shoe departments so parents could see their children's feet inside a shoe to see if it looked like the shoe fit correctly? It was found that too many short X-rays were dangerous, even harmful so the machines were pulled. What's the difference when people are frequent flyers? BTW, Atlanta uses the 'backscatter', X-ray based scanners.
---
China says it is more upset at the US Navy doing an 'exercise' in Korean waters than it is in North Korea's shelling of a South Korean island. You'd think China would welcome the US ships coming in close to its borders since it could 'repo' a few ship towards collecting US debt.
---
You know, while TV announcers are happy that numbers are not obliterated by mud/dirt and grass stains on football jerseys, I miss not seeing 'proof' of a hard fought skirmish.
----------------------------

Friday, November 26, 2010

Online headline: "85 Rare 'Singing Dogs' Seized as Kennel Is Closed" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought this was a tongue-in-cheek recount of the ousted 'blue/yellow dog' DUMB&DUMBERats who still have to testify in House ethics cases.
---
In potUS Imam-a's Thanksgiving day message, he said, "we have to look out for each other". Excuse me, potUS Imam-a, but the most important aspect is that most Americans (and not the illegal squatters) don't feel/think YOU are looking out for all of us.
---
According to the L-E section, "Today's Birthdays", actress Ellen Albertini Dow turns 92, Marianne Muellerleile turns 62, Tammy Lynn Michaels Etheridge turns 36, and Maia Campbell turns 34. Without 'googling', can anyone tell me what anyone of these actresses has played in?
---
Bill Roberts...golfer and gentleman...48...we will miss him.
---
L-E story: "NASA’s effort to farm out astronauts’ space station trips to private companies over the next decade is under fire again. This time it’s by federal deficit hit men. * Spaceflight vendors stand to lose $1.2 billion in NASA funding under a proposal by the co-chairmen of President Barack Obama’s bipartisan deficit commission." -- Hmmm, if the 'deficit hit men' were doing their job well, they could have saved us more than this $1.2 Billion by canceling potUS Imam-a and entourage's current Asian triop and scheduling meetings via computer.
---
Have you noticed the influx of letters in the L-E promoting Mother Teresa Obamalinson, and the absence of such favoring Zeph Baker? Does the L-E not believe in equal time for both candidate?
------------------------

Thursday, November 25, 2010

Happy Thanksgiving! Aren't we all thankful for most of the results from the November 2nd elections!
---
L-E story: "Scientists have an exciting breakthrough in the fight against AIDS. A pill already used to treat HIV infection turns out to be a powerful weapon in protecting healthy gay men from catching the virus, a global study found. " -- Hmmm, wouldn't fear, discipline, and abstinence be even safer for them?
---
From the 'suspicions confirmed' department - L-E headline: " TSA chief: No intelligence pointing to terror threat" -- Just as we suspected, there's 'no intelligence' in the TSA.
---
If government ownership of stock in GM and Chrysler is so wonderful, why do DUMB&DUMBERats want to deny everyone else from owning stocks in their Social Security accounts?
---
From the 'how come' department: If Columbus is supposed to be employment's 'golden child of GA cities' because of BRAC and the KIA connection, why do Athens, Augusta, Gainesville, Hinesville, Savannah, Valdosta, and Warner Robins have lower percentages of unemployment?
---

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

Online headline: "German Chancellor Merkel's Comment Triggers Euro Sell Off" -- Hmm, could there be a new name for the Euro soon...maybe a "zero"?
---
Online story: "The developers of a proposed Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero are seeking federal redevelopment grants reportedly worth $5 million, further infuriating some families and first responders." -- What unmitigated gall! Even CNN, MSNBC, and the ACLU should be 'puffed up' about crossing the line of church-state separation.
---
potUS Imam-a received a 4:00AM phone call concerning North Korea's attack on South Korea. Guess the 3:00AM call went to Hillary.
---
Online headline/story: "New Rules Require Health Insurers to Spend More on Care * The 308 pages of regulations on what is known as the "medical loss ratio" may be technical, but Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius called them "an important step to hold insurance companies accountable and increase value for consumers." -- Requiring insurance companies to spend 80% of revenues on patients versus the 60% industry average will exponentially raise healthcare policy costs to provide the cash flow for current insurance company existing expenses. Now if Sebelius wants to force any organization to spend more on their receipts on recipients rather than administrative costs, she should demand that public education systems hold their staff and administrative costs to just 20% of tax revenues each receives.
---
Have you seen the latest sculpture erected on Broadway? Rumor has it that it was a simple obelisk until SOA Watch visitors held a graffiti rally.
---
While Dominos is at least being upfront when it advertises that 'none of the delivery fee' goes to the driver, what, then, is its basis of charging a delivery fee?
---
L-E headline/story: "Erasing memories may be on horizon * ..scientists have laid a foundation with their discovery that proteins can be removed from the brain’s fear center to erase memories forever." -- That's nothing new; DUMB&DUMBERats have used this technique for decades to get disappointed voters to vote for them again in the next election.
---
An interesting question: If restoring the riverbed to it's original state was the answer to restoring the natural white water rapids of the past, why must the riverbed be altered from its natural state?
---
Recently in Chile, and now in a New Zealand mine disaster, the accuracy of drilling has been elevated to new heights. How come the DUMB&DUMBERats in Washington are so set against drilling for oil in US sites?

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

Have you noticed how potUS Imam-a avoids lowering his USA popularity numbers when he's out of the country? Maybe he will extend his trip with a campaign speech tour in Ireland. Seems Ireland's economy is such that his "Hope&Change" spiel might appeal.
---
Online headline: "Irish Prime Minister Faces Early Election Over EU Bailout" -- Now that's a headline that should have potUS Imam-a's name in it!
---
Online headline: "Does Obama Deserve a Second Term?" -- Obvious a self cleansing question among the DUMB&DUMBERats. The key question is whether he deserved a first term.
---
Online story: "According to a joint study conducted by several universities in the Netherlands, the rise in electromagnetic fields associated with wireless networks and cell phones is blamed for stunting tree growth in urban areas, MacWorld reported. -- What a liberal's dilemma! Does a liberal go inside a Starbucks and surf the web, or does the liberal stage a cappuccino-less protest outside?
---
Online story: "Earlier this month, Asia Bibi was sentenced to execution after being charged with insulting the Prophet Muhammad in 2009. The woman said her ordeal stemmed from a violent argument in which she was beaten after bringing water to fellow female villagers working in a field. They refused to drink it, she said, because it had been handled by a Christian." -- So this is the group that demands 'religious tolerance' for them to build the "Hamas-que" at Ground Zero...
---
Online story: "America's Fastest-Growing States By GDP (PHOTOS)" -- There are 11 "states" mentioned; "state" number 7 is Washington, D.C.. No wonder our children are being failed in schools! Washington, D.C. is not, nor was ever to be given 'statehood' in the plans of our forefathers!
---
Texas Governor Rick Perry has proposed a 'win-win' security option: Take all the TSA agents out of the airports and put them on the Mexican border!
---
When will DUMB&DUMBER County/State chairperson in Southern state realize that the National DUMB&DUMBERat Party is not same party that it use to be?
---
You know, the teen 'beaten' as he walked home because he didn't have his bus pass could have avoided the whole situation in either of two ways: remembering to bring a pencil to class, or simply turning in back in , getting his bus pass back, then getting on the bus. I'm sorry the young man suffered his beating, but his father's beef is not with the school system.
---
L-E headline: "Woman sues Charlie Sheen for battery " -- Ooops, my bad! Thought maybe Sheen had taken the battery out of her 'toy'.
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “The ultimate aim of the human mind, in all its efforts, is to become acquainted with Truth.” — Eliza Farnham, American reformer (1815-1864)." -- Of course, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Time, George Soros, potUS Imam-a, and NPR consider this a vast right-wing conspiracy, and will have nothing to do with it.
---
Does an airplane which had its engines replaced by another of the same engine give you any more confidence that those engines won't fail? Isn't that the definition of insanity..do the same thing over and over expecting different results?
---
L-E headline/story: "Report: Nuclear weapon drivers sometimes got drunk * “I was appalled to learn that some couriers responsible for transporting nuclear weapons and material were found to be drinking on the job,” said Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., who chairs the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee." -- Yeah, like Congressperson don't drink on the job? How else can you explain how DUMB&DUMBERats voted "for" the potUS Imam-a/Pelosi/Reid stuff?
---
Heard that potUS Imam-a is pardoning two turkeys this year; would their names happen to be Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?
---
Poor Travis Chambers! Not only did he accept a donation from 'the Reverend Flakes', now he's got Judy Brouillette's endorsement. Seeing as the 'the rule of 3' applies to such luck, potUS Imam-a must be coming to town to campaign for him, too. Judy Thomas is almost looking like a conservative.
---
Has any state considered how its going to impose the "fuel taxes' it will lose on gasoline sales to all-electric vehicles?
---

I cannot tell if this is a picture of the next "Ken" doll, or one of Mary Martin when she was Peter Pan; how about you?
---
Why does the L-E still think the SOA Watch is news, much less front page worthy? The only conclusion I can come up with about the SOA Watch is that the economy has doused the ardor, the 'conviction' of the liberals or that college students decided to go home for Thanksgiving instead.
---

From L-E story: "“He (Charlie Rangel) had sloppy bookkeeping, yes,” said City Councilwoman Inez Dickens. “Illegal, no.” -- Hmmm, maybe that will work in Congress, but not in an IRS investigation.
---
The Pope...it's not like he recommended condoms for birth control.
---
Lets face it, if the TSA wants to 'pat me down', they are going to have to hire my urologist to do the job.
---

Sunday, November 21, 2010

Online headline: "Pope OKs Condoms In Some Cases" -- He probably retroactively wishes the parents of some DUMB/DUMBERats still left in Congress had used them.
---
Patricia Murphy, Capitol Hill Bureau Chief, wrote: "Where's the Change After the 'Change Election'?" -- She thinks "change' started on November 3rd rather than 'change' will happen after the new Congress is "sworn in" in January. Is that not typical of liberal nanny-nanny-poo-poo?
---
L-E headline/story: "Circle K customer won’t face charges for shooting robbery suspect" -- Well, I should think not! Maybe this is the guy that needs to the Director of Public Safety.
---
L-E headline: "Obama sees combat end by 2014 handover " -- Ooops, my bad. Thought potUS Imam-a was declaring how difficult it was going to be to get the keys to the White House from him after the 2012 election.
---
From the City Manager's Agenda: " CITY OF COLUMBUS 10-YEAR PLAN TO END HOMELESSNESS: There will be an update on the city of Columbus 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness by the Cunningham Center for Leadership Development." -- Well, why not throw in a 10 year plan to end al-Qaida as well?
-------------------------------

Saturday, November 20, 2010

Just a week or so ago, MSNBC suspended Keith Olbermann for a vicious '2 days' for making political donations, and now MSNBC has struck agaim, suspending another news anchor, Joe Scarborough for another vicious '2 day' period. Wonder which days, Christmas and Easter?
---
There's a list of the most mismanaged charities from Charity Navigator. The amazing thing is most them are actually better at getting 'funds' to those in need more efficiently than most government entitlement programs. I remember a report that out of every dollar the government allocated for entitlement programs, 78 cents went for salaries/benefits/administrative costs and only 22 cents of every dollar actually got to a person who qualified for a program.
---
L-E headline: "Sen. Tom Whatley takes oath at Phenix City McDonald's" -- Of course, congratulations are in order, but you can't help but wonder whether he "got fries with that"?
---
L-E headline: "Ex-Parks and Recreation assistant director Cammy Currie says firing is retaliation for ‘perceived whistle blowing’ " -- Hmmm, wouldn't you think that Mimi Woodson would at least shout out that Currie was a victim of another "public hanging" just to show she's consistent?
---
Congrats Marshall Middle School! Shows what a leader like Melvin Blackwell means to a school.
---
From L-E's "Today in history": "On this date: In 1789, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights." -- Wow! and after 220+ years, electing Chris Christie as governor will entitle the citizens to actually realize their rights.
---
L-E headline: "Pilots to be exempt from some airport checks" -- Once again, a union demonstrates its "we got ours,, public be damned" philosophy. Fits right in why potUS Imam-a is union friendly.
---
Roll on, Carver!
---
It's really sad when a 5-5 team says it has its 'eye on a bowl'. We have way to many bowls!
---
Boise State versus UGA in Chik-fil-A kick off game. Hmmm, wonder what color the 'grass' will be?
---
L-E headline: "New number with new team for Uggla" -- Ooops, my bad! Thought SEC Commissioner Slive had decided U of GA must rename its mascot to comply with his truth mandates.
---
Mercer football. Now that's a thought that should get academia excited. A small college Vanderbilt.
---
So Northwestern and Illinois will play towards only one endzone because the other endzone is 'too close' to a wall at Wriggly Field. Guess none of the players will ever play "Arena Football" (or hockey for that matter).
------------------------------

Friday, November 19, 2010

The SOA Watch....why is it even news? Why is it even newsworthy of print or air time?
---
From a L-E story: "“If we are going to address crime issues with young people, Parks and Recreation has to be involved with the Crime Prevention program I think,” Wetherington said." -- Excuse me? Is the Mayor saying government sports programming is the 'best' way to prevent young people from committing crimes? Has the Mayor looked at top level college and professional sports which provide leadership role models? If what AU's Fairley did to UGA's quarterback, or the use of steroids, or the number of crimes committed by college and professional athletes are examples, we need to take youth sports out of government hands altogether. Make parents totally responsible guiding their children in life and sports.
---
Why does the NCAA allow schools to add football games to the schedule if the major schools schedule such mismatched teams such as is/was the case of Alabama and GA State? Does an insignificant "W" really benefit the major schools (other than 'pad' the coaches personal win-loss record), or does a 'big payday' benefit the smaller schools when weighed against the potential injuries that can occur when players are so mismatched?
---

Thursday, November 18, 2010

Online headline/story: "Gitmo Detainee Acquitted of All but 1 Charge in NY * On the eve of his trial last month, the judge barred the government from calling a key witness because the witness had been identified while Ghailani was being held at a secret CIA prison where harsh interrogation techniques were used. * Ghailani, 36, rubbed his face, smiled and hugged his lawyers after the jurors filed out of the courtroom. * U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan had thanked the jury, saying the outcome showed that justice "can be rendered calmly, deliberately and fairly by ordinary people - people who are not beholden to any government, even this one." -- Is Judge Kaplan talking about the same government that is trying to take over healthcare, and whether or not McDonalds can sell Happy Meals with fries and toys?
---
Rodney Mahone: What an incredible story…journey…destination… and inspiration! It’s been too many years since we have had local leadership for ‘the paper’; too many years that the future of this town has been put aside as people carve their own personal footholds to leave Columbus. May the L-E prosper again.

---

There's a perfect solution for the body scan/pat down dilemma at airports: If you are a 17-to-40 year old Muslim male, you get scanned and patted down; if you're not a 17-to-40 year old Muslim male, you don't get scanned or frisked.

---

Can you believe it? The remaining DIM/DUMBorats have rallied behind Pelosi again. Guess it's time to alter the current name by dropping "DIM" and just referring to them as DUMB&DUMBERATS.

---

Liberal groups claim 1-in-6 Americans are obese, 1-in-6 don't have enough to eat, and 1-in-6 are mentally ill. Who are they polling..themselves?

--------------------------

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

How can Charlie Rangel complain? He's known for months (inside he's known for years!) of what was coming, and walked out one day, and didn't bother to show up the next. Just 'dissing' the Ethics Committee is an ethics violation he should be expelled for!
---
On earmarks, Senator McCain wants potUS Imam-a to 'put his money where his mouth is'. There's one big problem with this...potUS Imam-a would use more 'bailout' money that never was his to begin with.
---
California and 9 other states allow illegal aliens to pay in-state-tuition at their colleges, yet my children live who live in Georgia would have to pay out-of-state tuition rates at the same schools. This is just wrong!
---
It's said history is doomed to repeat itself if we don't remember the past. Obviously, the proponents for 'rondabouts' doesn't remember the Traffic Circle at Victory & Benning Drives. I'm still glad it no longer exists.
---
Good luck Rodney Mahone!
---
Online headline: "Democrat Convicted of Ethics Violations" -- See, potUS Imam-a, what a clear majority of DIM/DUMBorats are capable of when they band together? Stop blaming Republicans for things not getting done.
---
Online headline: "Democrat Convicted of Ethics Violations" -- Rangels done, now where's Bishop?
---
I've 'taken' this from comedian Steve Bridges: potUS Imam-a's program for fighting obesity will be called "No Child's Behind Left Alone".
-----------------------------

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

Though I read this in a report of a tragic building collapse story out of India, the "top official" there might consider a name change before becoming a public spokesperson. I'm sure, in India, her name has a honorable history, but due to cultural nuances, Sheila Dikshit should avoid being published in English based journalism.
---
Well, I'll be....Congressman Heath Shuler, DIM/DUMB from North Carolina is going to challenge Nancy Pelosi for the Minority Leader post in Congress. How novel; he campaigned on doing so, and now we have a DIM/DUMB actually trying to keep a campaign promise. Unfortunately, I hope Pelosi wins so we have her as the 2012 poster child for "MORE CHANGE".
---
I wish potUS Imam-a's 'trial balloon team' would stop referring to the tax cuts that PPOUS Bush 43's Congress passed as "Bush Tax Cuts". They are the law of the land through this year, and potUS Imam-a's Congress has the option to keep the tax at the same level or enact the "potUS Imam-a tax increase".
---
From L-E story: "During last week’s work session, (School System Superintendent) Andrews said most of the district’s energy consumption is “people-driven” and that the (LEED certification) resolution would encourage employees to monitor their energy consumption habits." -- It would be cheaper, and probably a lot more productive to issue an order that employees monitor their energy consumption or be fired.
---
ARC - While it's admirable to want to start an entity that will focus on helping those with any kind of learning/living disability, isn't it counter productive to create a new diversion for money needs when another organization has the capability to address an issue? Why start a fund-competing program when you could volunteer to help an existing program?
This is what has happened to most government programs. Too many individual programs offering a duplicity of service, but because each program has its own separate administrative costs, the lion's share of the available funds go to government employees versus people with needs.
---
L-E headline/story: "Georgia wants new voters to prove their citizenship * critics argue that legal voters may be kept off the rolls because they didn’t have a Georgia driver’s license, birth certificate, or other valid form of ID required by the law. " -- "legal voters may be kept off the rolls"? If they are "legal voters", they are already "on the rolls", and have already proven their status. Betcha there's not a non-DIM/DUMBorat amongst the 'critics'.
---
L-E headline: "U.S. hunger rates slows, remains at highest level * 50 million in U.S. aren’t getting enough to eat" -- Libs need to co-ordinate their facts and figures. While one group protests restaurants as the cause of our extensive obesity problem, another says 1-in-6 in America don't get enough to eat.
---
Charlie Rangel....he's already trying to 'wrangle' his way out of his trial.
---
Sanford Bishop should be next in line for an ethics trial. It's bad enough when a Congressman can use tax dollars to buy votes for re-election, but when a Congressman feels he can line his own and family's friends pockets with tax dollars, he's a thief.
---
From an L-E editorial: "The fact is, parental rights that are law in the case of married parents are not necessarily law for unmarried ones. " -- Why is there an advocacy for 'fathers' who weren't married to the woman who gave birth to a child getting parental rights, when there needs to be a stronger advocacy for children who's biological 'fathers' are not financially supporting the children from a marriage? Just more liberal feel-good stuff to diminish the need for personal responsibilities.
---

Monday, November 15, 2010

Online headline/story: "Explosion at Mexican Resort Kills 7 People * The explosion, apparently caused by a buildup of gas, happened in the lobby of the Grand Riviera Princess hotel in Playa del Carmen" -- Yeah, maybe a build-up of methane gas caused by too many refried beans eaten by a suicide bomber from a drug cartel.
---
Online headline: "Man Once Thought Dead Arrested" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought someone registered by ACORN had been found.
---
Online headline: "Obama's Messaging Misadventures" -- "Messaging Misadventures"? This must be this the new buzz-word for caught lying.
---
Since when is just leaving a tax rate at the same level its been a 'tax cut'?
---
One more staffer is leaving the White House...bye-bye David Axelrod.

L-E story: "A convenience store customer shot a suspect in the chest during what police said was an aborted robbery Saturday afternoon." -- Maybe the store should change its name to "Shop & Tote", and send future thugs a message.
---
L-E headline: " Obama fails to meet expectations in Asia" -- potUS Imam-a had to go to Asia to get the message? He could have saved over a billion dollars by canceling his Asian trip and just reading the election results to know his work has been a complete failure.
---
From above story: "By spending so much time in Asia, undeterred by his and his party’s midterm election “shellacking” on the way out the door, he showedkeynations howimportant they are to the U.S. agenda." -- What biased BS! What potUS Imam-a showed Asia is that he's a joke, and Asia laughed at him.
---
L-E headline: "State plans to do away with graduation test" -- And the headline in 2012 will be, "State pats itself on back for improving graduation numbers".
---
L-E story: "That may be particularly true in the Senate, where 21 Democrats, two independents who usually vote Democratic and 10 Republicans are up for re-election in 2012. * Democrats, who lost six Senate seats this month, are also waging an intraparty debate about how to proceed in the months ahead. * “If we don’t change our approach, we may have more trouble in the future,” said Ed Gresser, the president of the moderate Democratic Leadership Council. " -- Even though potUS Imam-a, pelosi, and Reid don't, at least someone in the DIM/DUMBorat Party did 'get it".
---
Chizik can sidestep the Cam Newton questions, the NCAA will answer those for him, but he needs to answer why he didn't yank Fairley off the field for that cheap shot on Aaron Murray. You know, those Alabama State Troopers that shadow Chizik, why didn't they go out on the field and arrest Fairly for assault&battery, or assault with a deadly weapon?

Online headline: "As Deficit Fight Looms, Obama Eyes Earmarks" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought potUS Imam-a was looking for something else to waste money on.
---
Bernie Goldberg wrote this: "...the president had the good sense not to throw a party after the Democrats took a "shellacking." He may also be clueless, but he's not nearly as clueless as the soon-to-be former speaker of the House. When it comes to clueless, she's a real star." -- Well said.
---
Online story: "An e-book for sale on Amazon.com entitled 'The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure' was apparently pulled by the online retailer late Wednesday after shocked consumers across the nation called for a boycott. " -- While pulling it is certainly the right thing to do, why the hell was it ever offered for sale? Hope that decision maker is unemployed as you read this.
---
2 excerpts from a letter a fellow BCer has written to GA's Senators:
"Taxing someone more because of how much money they make seems to me to be discrimination. We can't discriminate because of race, religion, yada, yada, why can we discriminate because of income? * The government's responsibility is to insure equal opportunity, not equal outcome." -- This is a very valid observation, and I encourage all of us to campaign similarly.
---
As long as Council is planning to spend millions of dollars on the old 14th Street Bridge, why not spend a few more and get it back to condition that cars can use it, too?
---
As embarrassing as Chizik claims to be about the two players that were ejected, he should be more embarrassed that he didn't personally yank Fairley off the field long before that.
---
Oregon remains undefeated only because of a missed field goal..BCS must be confused.

The L-E, in its inimitable way, may have caused a problem with its story on the dogs of some of the Columbus Kennel Club. One dog was described as living with a family that included 5 other dogs. Wonder if the L-E ascertained whether the people in the family had a kennel license for having more than 5 dogs?
---
Was real torn as to who I will vote for in Council Post 9, but seeing an early donation by Rev Flakes to Chambers has made me to decide on Thomas.

Saturday, November 13, 2010

Online headline: "The Decline of Snail Mail: Postal Service's Annual Loss Doubles" -- See that, "ANNUAL loss", not just the fact it doubled, and potUS Imam-a and the DIM/DUMBorats are processing the way to take over our healthcare.
---
There are 'smart phone' apps that let people download TV remote. Can you not see an overload of 'smart phone' carriers playing havoc with sports bars TV sets. Guess we'll soon see a whole new breed of 'smart phone' abusers, and we will call them
smart asses'.
---
The USPS just announced it's "annual loss" doubled over last year, and people are lined up to buy the IPO of Government Motors? Not me!
---
Why do Mother Teresa Obamalinson supporters feel she is entitled to be the next mayor? 57% of the voters voted against her to begin with.
---
No matter how much "bacon" a Congressman brings home to his district, it's still wrong to for him to put any of it in his friends' or family's or his own pocket.

How can government entities at any level, which are driven by its insatiable desire for 'pork' be concerned whether fast food kid's meals have veggies instead of toys?

Hmmm, Auburn's basketball team lost its official home opener to UNC-Asheville... maybe CSU's win over Auburn wasn't such an upset as we first believed.

Friday, November 12, 2010

Online headline: "Obama Has Little Chance of Success at G-20 Summit" -- Hmmm, and these are the people he started out apologizing to in '09. Think potUS Imam-a's apologizing to the American voter will help him in 2012?
---
Online story: "The study, published this week by the Council of the Great City Schools, found black males are twice as likely to drop out of high school than white males, and only 12 percent of them are proficient in reading by the fourth grade, compared with 38 percent of white males. * "There are a number of schools where poor black boys are doing well," Comer said. "That ought to raise the question of, 'What goes on there that's not going on in other places?' * "If we look at schools that are predominately black, and we look at the achievement of white kids who are in those schools, we find that the white kids don't do well either," Holzman told National Public Radio." -- All these taxpayer paid surveys show the same thing year after year. What's wrong is attitudes within the schools themselves, and the lead problems are lower expectations and political correctness distributed by feel-good liberals who care more for false esteem than results.
---
Can you envision rent-a-car companies dilemma about electric cars? How are they going to charge customers the high priced 'topping-off' the gas tank when cars are returned?
---
The fact that we will be able to go online to renew our car tags is good, but the fees the 'vendor' is charging are usurious. It's cheaper for us to mail in our renewals and more work and costs for the city, so the city should look harder at negotiating a more favorable credit card/electronic check fee.
---
There was an old joke that suggested that if you took away a persons Reader's Digest, they would become 'uninformed', but if you gave it back to them, they would become 'misinformed'. I guess you can say Keith Olbermann is the Reader's Digest of the 21st Century.
---
Parent alert! The movie "Morning Glory", with a cast surely that will appeal to your children and grandchildren carries a PG-13 rating. The rating factors include "profanity, sexual content, brief drug references". How can a parent trust Hollywood ratings as a general guide?
---
No matter what anyone can claim Congressman Bishop 'has done for Columbus/Ft Benning, at best he's one vote of 218 that must agree to pass legislation, it did not justify him diverting tax dollars for the personal benefit of his friends and family.

Thursday, November 11, 2010

Online headline/story: "Four Loko Banned by Washington State Liquor Control Board * A lobbyist for Phusion Projects, maker of Four Loko, objected to the Liquor Control Board's * "No one is more upset than we are when our products are abused or consumed illegally by underage drinkers," said lobbyist Jim Halstrom. "But we also believe curbing alcohol abuse or underage drinking will not be accomplished by singling out a lone product or beverage category. We think the true answer lies with increased education and awareness by all and with respect for the law." -- "Increased education" is the answer? Yeah, like increased sex education with lessons on condom use has slowed teen sex.
---
So Fox has picked up Lou Dobbs as well as Juan Williams for an opinion job. Who says Fox is not 'fair and balanced'....oh, the DIM/DUMB networks who released Dobbs and Williams.
---
Online headline: "Obama Salutes US Troops, Condemns North Korea" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought this was a 'trick or dyslexic headline'. Either potUS Imam-a has finally looked at the November 2 election results, or it's just another flip-flop.
---

Online headline: "Why Main Street Doesn't Buy Wall Street's 'Recovery'" --Saw a sign at a local bank branch offering .80% on a short term CD. Bernanke's holding down the Fed interest has made too many people flee back into the stock market to get higher dividend rates which exposes them to another 'bubble' of inflated stock pricing. Hold on to your wallet!
---
That missile seen off the California coast.....could be as simple a 'the Arnold' exploding about the Prop 19 loss for legalizing illegal marijuana sales/use, and the lost tax revenues?
---
In 2008, voters voted for "HOPE" & "CHANGE". In 2010, voters voted for "CHANGE". In 2012, voters will "HOPE" that the "CHANGE" they voted for in 2010 will give them "HOPE" for their children and grandchildren.
---
L-E story: " LONDON — Scientists say some whale species off the Mexican coast are showing signs of severe sunburn that may be caused by the damaged ozone layer’s decreased ability to block ultraviolet radiation. " -- Has Paul Olson or Bert Coker moved to London and gotten a Scientist's degree?
---
L-E story: " ATLANTA — A government survey says 1 in 10 U.S. children has ADHD, a sizable increase from a few years earlier that researchers think might be explained by growing awareness and better screening. * Scientists don’t have clear answers about why there was such a significant increase. Study lead author Susanna Visser of the CDC suggests greater awareness and stepped-up screening efforts as part of the explanation." -- I've seen video reports of brain activity of children watching the flickering lights of computer screens and reading with fluorescent lighting versus watching the same outdoor scenes first hand and reading under incandescent lighting, and the comparison is amazing. adjusting to the flickering lights dominate the brain activity with distractions.
---
L-E's "QUOTABLE": “History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.” Dwight D. Eisenhower American military, political leader (1890-1969)" -- Today, he would add "the politically correct" to that list.

L-E story: "(Columbus Police Capt. William)Turner said that shotgun casings were found, though a weapon hadn’t been recovered. * L_____ was pronounced dead at 8 p.m. at The Medical Center by Deputy Coroner Freeman Worley. His body has been sent to Atlanta for an autopsy." -- Excuse me, but when someone is dead, and there is evidence that it was a gunshot death, why is it necessary to send the body off to Atlanta for an autopsy? Wasting common sense in order to waste 'common cents' is a reason our tax dollars don't go far.
---
L-E headline: "Marshal says chaplain broke no laws by flashing badge at motorist" -- Oh, then the chaplain is sworn in? Yesterday's account said the Marshal didn't know, and today's story doesn't state the chaplain IS sworn in. Since when is an unsworn 'deputy' flashing a badge not impersonating a sworn officer? I do not think 'swearing' at another motorist constitutes the 'deputy ' as being 'sworn" in.
---
Loved being mentioned in Chitwood's story yesterday. It was hard to get exposure as a candidate in 1990 (simply the only way I could vote "for" a candidate for mayor since the other choices were Martin & Wells), and he finally has learned to spell my name correctly.
---
Online headline: "Gold Shoots Past $1,400 to a Record High" -- Nah, there's no threat of inflation...BS! Hope you guys have been generous and wonderful all this year, and do not have to run out Christmas Eve to buy 'the wife' some make-up piece of jewelry... cha-ching!
---
Looks like the media is going to do what football teams haven't been able to do very well this year...sack the AU quarterback.
---
L-E headline: "San Francisco votes to ban toys in some fast-food kids meals" -- Welcome to the real world of Nancy Pelosi! If there's any justice and 'hope' in San Francisco, it will be that all fast food restaurants will shutdown their San Francisco operations completely and let the citizens start a recall election of all the Board of Supervisors.
---
L-E headline: " Water Works proposes 3.8% rate increase " -- Let's see....the Social Security board says there's not enough 'inflation' to raise monthly checks for last year or next, yet the CWW wants to raise rates in excess of the government's stated inflation rate. Is this fair to those on fixed income? Of course not!
---
So the FDIC is proposing a lot of new fees to charge banks...isn't that special...like the banks don't already have as many fees as they can think of without someone creating a new list of add-on fees. You seriously don't think banks will absorb the news fees, do you?

The MCSD is going to buy 72 passenger school buses? How long are the buses? Will they be able to turn without blocking oncoming traffic lanes. Will the drivers even know what's going on in the back of the buses?
---
Steven Hayes got the death sentence for his heinous triple murder crimes in Connecticut. Too bad there isn't a portable gallows that could be set-up on the Court House Square so he could be escorted out for immediate execution! The thought that Hayes could sit in jail for 20 years of appeals is not justice!
---
Online headline: "Report: Fast-Food Chains Increase Targeting Our Kids" -- Doh...like any sane parent would consciously pull into a McDonalds or Burger King restaurant without a child screaming "Happy/Kids Meal!"
---
Online headline: "Obama Backs India for Permanent Seat on UN Security Council" -- Of course, China and Russia may ask the US to step down to make a place for Indai...

After seeing the pictures of the 14th Street Bridge, can you but wonder what lurks on the bridge supports under the water?

Go CSU roundball!
---
Listening to potUS Imam-a address India's government, I realized what his 2012 campaign stratgey is; he's going to run for the Prime Minister of India.
---
Fox was the only network to carry potUS Imam-a's India speech. Guess the mainstream media couldn't listen to him bragging about his transparent government any more.
---
While I do not listen to H&G's show on finding homes, my wife does. Yesterday, I overheard the host telling about the buyer for this particulat show. He was a lawyer for Cook County (Chicago), Illinois. One of the parameters for the home search was that the lawyer's resident had to be in Cook County because of his job. Once again, tell me why our local government and local school system cannot, does not, require their employees to reside in Columbus/Muscogee County?

Online headline: "MSNBC: Olbermann Suspension Ends Tuesday" -- Hmmm, I guess Olbermann and his two listeners will be happy.
---
Where's Algore? For someone who used to race NY Senator Chuck Schumer for the nearest camera, Algore has seemingly dropped out of sight.
---
Online headline: "Obama's Goal in Asia is U.S. Jobs" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought maybe potUS Imam-a had found job placement for 60+ DIM/DUMBorat Congressperson now looking for new jobs.
---
Online headline: "Microsoft's Ballmer Sells $1.34 Billion of Microsoft Stock" -- Hmm, he must read my blog online, and saw that after my being a 25 year user of DOS/Windows, I've decided not to buy anymore versions of Windows!
---
If you didn't understand why California is floundering and wants the rest of the country to be commiserate, then noticing things like Pelosi, Boxer, and Jerry Brown being elected/re-elected to offices should be the answer to your questions.
---
From a fellow BCer: "Cut Congressional salaries, perks and benefits followed by Civil Service salaries, perks and benefits. Time to get government employees salaries in line with the private sector since it's our taxes that pay their salaries and they are theoretically our employees. While we are at it we should outlaw government unions from making political contributions as long as government employees are paid with tax money. I do not want any of my tax money going to politicians I oppose." -- While we're at it, government workers, at all levels, should be banned from voting for a level/category of government officials who determine their pay/benefits.
---
With as many old-time DIM/DUMBorats in the House all ready having been charged with multiple ethics violations, the catastrophic losses in Congress may have been a DIM/DUMB plot to blame Republicans for prosecuting angelic DIM/DUMBorats. Yeah, that's the ticket!
---
L-E liberal "soundoff": " If you tax the rich, you will see that it creates more jobs. Just think about it." -- Obviously someone who has a job created by some rich person, OR a government worker who's job was created by the taxes collected from some rich persons. Either way, the writer has no clue as to why he/she is employed at all.
---
L-E headline: " VP Biden pledges support for Israel" -- Guess VPOTUS Biden and potUS Imam-a finally read something....the November election results!
---
The NO-vember Election showed that conservative voters decided that the DIM/DUMBorats are the "party of no", and the Republicans are the "party of know".
---
Has anyone questioned Mother Teresa Obamalinson on why her law firm has the diversity of a ...... heck,there is no "diversity". There are 12 attorneys and the only woman is a wife of one of them, and they all would be taxed for going to a Tanning Salon while preparing for a beach vacation. You'd think Edward DuBose would be camped out at their front door.

Sunday, November 7, 2010

Online headline: "India's Naked Chimp Looks All Too Human" -- If you want to believe 'he' is your ancestor, you may be right, but, then again, I know you are wrong.
---
Election 2010 has proven to be a miracle, an epiphany of political convergence. Can you imagine all House Republicans reaching out in unison to help Nancy Pelosi maintain her leadership of the DIM/DUMBorats through the 2012 electins?
---
If potUS Imam-a doesn't understand how letting the Bush Tax Cuts expire will effect the country's economy, he and Biden should resign and let Boehner.
---
Yesterday's L-E lead story about Zeph Baker saying his donors will get 'bullied' is probably true. I met with Zeph on Friday, and though 'young', seems quite put together, and on a better future course than the old guard 'black ballot' promoters. I can see how his supporters would be exposed to retaliation. I will vote for him in the run-off.
---
This election reminds me of the 1990 Mayoral election. The L-E wanted to Martin, and actually helped him in many biased ways. I speak from personal knowledge, as I ran as an independent write-in because I didn't want him or Wells as Mayor, but whenever Wells ran one of his full-page expose`ads about Martin, either in the same or next day edition would be a Martin response and counter ad. These full-page response had to have been composed with advanced notice of what was in Well's ads. Jack Swift actually called me and personally apologized for his part in the L-E's involvement in the election a week before took his life.
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “Man cannot live by incompetence alone.” — Charlotte Whitton, Canadian feminist (1896-1975). " -- I guess she was pretty naive of the political system, and didn't know how earmarks and entitlement programs can keep a DIM/DUMBorats Congressman re-elected.
---
Dim/DUMBorats have re-written "The Peter Principal" to stay elected. Now "The Peter Principal" is about robbing Peter to pay Paul, and getting Paul to keep them in office.
---
The amount of money spent by Bishop's opponents was paltry compared to the dollars of earmarks Bishop passed out in the last 6 months, and that was taxpayer dollars versus private dollars.
---
The Fed theory of patching the "economic ballon" just gives the 'baloon' a longer time to get bigger before it bursts like the housing and stock market 'baloons' of recent history.
---
Looks like the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance is will be petitioning Council again on behalf of Tony Adams. The IMA is beginning to lose its credibility like Edward DuBose has done such a good job at doing over the years.
---
City Manager's Agenda item: "14TH STREET PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE PLAZA - PHASE II: Authorization is requested to enter into a contractual agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to reconstruct the plaza of the 14th Street Pedestrian Bridge with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Stimulus Funds) not to exceed $1.9 million." -- What 14th Street Bridge "Plaza" are we talking about reconstructing?
---
Another Council item of concern: "14TH STREET PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE: It is requested that council authorize the execution of a construction contract with Scott Bridge Company in the amount of $5,250,445. Scott Bridge Company will renovate an existing bridge structure, spanning the Chattahoochee River at 14th Street, into a pedestrian-only bridge." -- Doh? It's already a "pedestrian-only" bridge.
---
Have you noticed that whenever potUS Imam-a "creates" a job, it's either in his administration or for union companies?
---
Do you reckon any of Bama's players want to show up at the next practice?
---
Does anyone know anything about the office on the corner of 5th Ave & 12th Street that had 15 government tagged passenger vans parked over last weekend? I asked all of our local state reps, but none seem to have an ansewr they can send me.
---
Had a meeting with CSU's Mescon and Helton this week about a parking problem created by CSU students in the Front Avenue Garage. Now I understand why the CSU faculty gave him a vote of "no confidence".
---
Do you reckon the Hilton Hotel company really likes the Viet Nam prison compound being named the "Hanoi Hilton"?
---
L-E headline: "With GOP in charge of House, environmental policy will shift" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought the L-E was thinking that the remaining DIM/DUMBorats weren't going to like being in the minority.

Saturday, November 6, 2010

Online headline: "Scientists Look to Recreate Big Bang" -- No wonder some scientists 'don't believe in God"; some believe they ARE god.
---
Online headline: "Keith Olbermann Suspended for Giving Political Donations" -- Media bias personified!
---
Online headline: "Ray of Hope for Jobless and Obama" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought potUS Imam-a went on a hiring spree naming all the displace DIM/DUMBorat Congressperson as new "Tsars".
---
Online headline: "Pelosi Running for House Minority Leader" -- Bet most of the remaining DIM/DUMBs hope she's 'running for the door'.
---
In an interview on Fox & Friends concerning his new book, President Bush 43 was aksed whether he would speak out on potUS Imam-a's job/situation. President Bush tastefully declined, but don't you know he was thinking that the same folks that elected him twice spoke for him about potUS Imam-a this past Tuesday.....
---
L-E "soundoff": "Glad to see the lawyers and preachers taking back over TV ads. " -- Huh? the runoff IS between a preacher and a lawyer.....
---
Another "soundoff" : " I wonder what Jimmy Carter is going to say about Fox News now. They’re still No. 1. " -- If it wasn't for Fox News, no one would know Carter is still embarrassing himself.
---
Is anyone else amazed that Paul Olson reported over $25,000.00 in donations as a mayoral candidate? Now that's a list I'd like to see published for scrutiny.
---
L-E headline: "Pelosi hopes to hold on to leadership * Many House Democrats blame her for losses" -- DIM/DUMBorats just don't get it! They shouldn't be blaming Pelosi for their loss; they should blame themselves for voting for what she asked them to vote for.
---

Friday, November 5, 2010

While the interest and motivation of CSU's Servant Leadership Program is beautiful, turning over the park to the MCSD is rather short sighted considering the track record of the MCSD maintenance attitude. Show me a MCSD maintained campus, school or library, that is maintained in a manner that shows the community it cares about its appearance.
---
Online headline: "Wall Street Axiom: No One Ever Went Broke Holding Coke" -- Ooops, my bad! Thought this was an expose` of the Mexican and South American drug cartel.
---
On a serious thought. I have a Standard & Poors' analysis report from the mid-1930's of my grandfather's stock holdings, and the senior VP recommended he divest his portfolio of Coca Cola because he "didn't see a future" for a company wanting to grow on consumers buying the product to have on hand in their homes.
---
Lets look directly at the problem of having too many progressives/centrists/moderates in Congress. Compromise basically means moving to the middle of the two sides of an issue. Using a 1-to-10 scale, with "10" being conservative and "1" being liberal, when a compromise is agreed on, it is generally going to be in the "4", "5", "6" range. If you start from a "5" position, compromise generally moves downward to the "4", "3", "2" range, with most results smelling like #2. Work and vote for the "10's" and "9's"!
---
The average American delivered "foreclosure" on the DIM/DUMBorat 'House'; who says there's not justice in the world?
---
Even though the Republicans did not win enough seats in the Senate to "be the majority", don't think that returning DIM/DUMBorat Senators, especially those running on potUS Imam-a's "coattails" in 2012, won't remember that Republicans won both Ted Kennedy's and potUS Imam-a's vacant Senate seats. Look for 'enough' to be willing to vote with the Republicans these next two years until 'we' get another opportunity to see if they are listening to "us" or potUS Imam-a.
---
Great year so far, Carver Tigers! Keep it going!
---
From L-E story concerning closing its 'production department': " “We save on utility costs because the press uses a lot of power,” she (Valerie Canepa) said, noting through September the newspaper’s electricity bill was 13 percent higher than the year before. “We save on property tax. We have all of these benefits.” -- How many articles has the L-E run stating that there is no inflation? How many ads has the L-E run from GA & AL Power Companies telling us what a good value electricity is? Is the L-E caught up on its tax payments? Lots of questions will go unanswered and/or ignored, and 56 more area families will languish. No wonder the L-E says, "Holiday Greetings" instead of "Happy Thanksgiving" and "Merry Christmas".

2010...Ah! "Change", in the right direction; "Hope" that, "Yes, we can" return to prosperity beginning in 2012.
---
2 years ago, the mainstream media was eulogizing the Republican Party, yesterday, a 2 year 'wake' began for the DIM/DUMBorat Party.
---
Question: If the American voters agreed with potUS Imam-a, and believed the Republicans were responsible for not getting more things accomplished in Washington, the voters would have given potUS Imam-a more DIM/DUMBorats to work with.
---
This past weekend as I left Burger King in UPtown, I noticed a rather mundane building on the corner of 5th Ave & 12th St. What caught my attention was a fleet of 15 12-to-15 passenger vans parked in back with government license plates and the initials C T S on the side. It looks like some sort of taxpayer funded taxi company. Anyone familiar with this operation?
---
In 2009, Iowa’s Supreme Court overrode state law and the will of the people by ordering Iowa to recognize homosexual marriage. Three of the judges who participated in that ruling were on the ballot this fall, facing a retention vote. * In what the Des Moines Register on Wednesday called “a historic upset,” all three justices got thrown off the bench by the people of Iowa. This is unprecedented. No Iowa judge had ever failed to retain his seat on the bench since the retention system was adopted in Iowa in 1962. The AFA (American Family Associate) led an active and successful campaign to do this. Go AFA!
---
Don't know why pundits are continuing to group the 2 Independent Senators with the DIM/DUMBorats to make it look like the DIM/DUMBS still retain a majority in the Senate. After this election, I'll take odds that those 2 will align themselves more with the Republicans for the next two years.
---
Remember those DIM/DUMBorats that face ethics probes....Rangel et al... What must they be thinking knowing Nancy Pelosi want be there to divert/control the action?
---
Online story: "Federal authorities in San Diego have made one of the largest marijuana seizures in the United States, confiscating 20 tons of pot near an underground tunnel connecting warehouses on either side of California's border with Mexico, officials said Wednesday." -- Obviously California Proposition 19 advocates anxious to open up shop if it passed.
---
Something stinks...there were 3 city-wide elections this year but there is a wide range of the number of votes cast in the 3 races. For Mayor: 46,400; for MCSD 9: 42,800; for Council 9: 41,800. With active campaigns in all three races, it's hard to believe that 8-to-10% of the voters for Mayor didn't vote in the MCSD and Council at-large races.
---
While it's been quite common for Bishop to earmark entitlements in District 2 to sway voters, who'd have thought he would be brazen enough to give multiple earmarls to his own family & friends and still get re-elected. A sad day for GA/Columbus politics.
---
L-E story: "The Federal Reserve will sink $600 billion into government bonds in a bold plan that it hopes will drive interest rates even lower than they already are and start the chain reaction that finally creates jobs and invigorates the economy." -- Key words are "sink" and "economy". Inflation is not a cure for our ails; tax reductions will give the economy the only stimulus it needs.
---
From L-E story: GM reports "$2.1 Billion profit" ,and says IPO will raise $10Billion, $7B going to the US government and $3B going to the Canadian government and the union healthcare trust and former US bondholders. -- First of all, how many figures previously reported bt potUS Imam-a's spinmeisters have stood up to real time scruutiny, but more importantly, who wants to give his administration another $7Billion to spend on his programs? I'd shy away from this one.
---
From same story: While GM sales were up 36% in October, the top 3 sellers (up 58%) were SUV/Crossover luxury vehicles versus smaller 'fuel efficient' models. Once again Government Motors build more vehicles the people don't want. Government run businesses just don't get it!

A reporter for WTVM9 on site at the Wynnton Methodist Church polling place encouraged viewers to "call the Urban League" if you needed a ride to vote. Besides an obvious bias, why is a United Way recipient organization allowed to spend money promoting politics?

Giving Congress and other government workers "Cost-of-living" raises is a tax on everyone else because 'cost-of-living' increases occur because of poor government efficiency.

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": " When the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy took effect, my paycheck got smaller. When the Obama tax cuts for the middle-class took effect, my paycheck got bigger. Do the math. " -- Obviously a product of new math and re-written history, and he/she failed both subjects and got a social promotion.

What additional grief it must cause the parents when reading their teenage child's name in the headlines of a drug/murder story, whether as the victim or the accused.
---
With 5,000 "early votes" plus absentee ballots not being counted, how can the L-E make assumptions over wins and run-offs from yesterday's elections?
---
Without a doubt, yesterday's statewide election results mirrored my ballot in every race but one. I voted for Stan Gunter for the Court of Appeals because he was a District Attorney, and the rest of the candidates were just lawyers. Maybe he should have changed his name to Stan A-Gunter so he could have been the first name on the ballot.

Harry Reid, after pulling the vote, er, rabbit, out of his hat to win re-election, said, the 'the bell" that rung wasn't the end of the fight, but the "beginning of the next round". This is exactly what was wrong with DIM/DUMB's being in charge of Congress. They look at us as 'enemies' rather than citizens.

Glad Pop Barnes appears to be re-elected. Don't agree with all his stands, but Pop is his own man.

Looks like we're in for the most liberal Mayor/Council make-up we've ever had. How can voters do this after the last two years of watching a 'most liberal' Federal Government in action?

How can Mother Teresa Obamalinson tell voters she's going to repair their houses when she's elected mayor? What's she doing..trying to out-Obama Obama?
---
Now there's concern that the Census 2010 report may be less than accurate....it was performed by a government agency...what did you expect?

October 29, 1929 is still known as "Black Monday" for Wall Street. May November 2, 2010 always be remembered as "Black Tuesday" for DIM/DUMBorats and 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

If Fox News fired Bill O'Reilly or Glenn Beck for expressing their personal opinions, would NPR hire them? Which network is "Fair and Balanced"?
---
For District 2 voters: Would you rather have a Congressman who is going to sit on the Agriculture Committee as a part of the majority party, or a Congressman sitting on the Agriculture SUB-Committee as a member of the minority party?

Electing potUS Imam-a in 2008 was historical; re-electing him in 2012 will be hysterical!
---
The government sent out checks for over a billion dollars to dead people this year. Must be potUS Imam-a's election strategy to keep the dead voters in line.

California has a proposition on the ballot to illegally legalize marijuana. Wonder what the campaign slogan was..."Pot in every Chick"?

Online headline: "'National Enquirer' Parent Company to File for Bankruptcy" -- ooops, my bad! Just knew this had to be about MSNBC or CNN.
---
Online headline: "GE to Order 'Tens of Thousands' of Electric Vehicles" -- Hope they have something other than GE headlights; you couldn't drive them very long at night if the cars did.
---
If this DIM/DUMBorat Congress could go back about 6 months in time, they'd have addressed the "don't ask, don't tell" issue. They would have eliminated telling what party they belong to on the ballots and in ads, and forbid the voters from asking.

Wanting to buy IPO shares of the 'new' GM is akin to wanting to buy shares in the US Post Office when you could buy into UPS or FedEX.

When Consumer Report does a safety test on Nissan's new electric car, do you suppose the headline will be, "Turn over a New LEAF"?

On potUS Imam-a's upcoming trip to India, 800 rooms have been booked, including all 500 at the hotel that experienced the recent terrorist takeover. Ironically, most room views overlook the slums.

After listening to an interview clip of Cuzzin Jimmy Carter being interviewed by Chris 'the Tingle" Mathews, I want to make a national, no international, apology for GA electing him Governor which put him in the process to get elected POTUS. I am so sorry.

Online story: "GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Oct. 31) -- A judge sentenced a former teenage al-Qaida fighter Sunday to eight more years in custody, bound by a plea agreement that compelled him to ignore a military jury that said he should serve 40 years for war crimes that included the killing of an American soldier. * "I hope it sends a message to any terrorists that if you are involved with serious offenses like this you face the potential of a very serious sentence," (Navy Capt. John F. Murphy, the chief military prosecutor) said". -- "Seroius sentence"? The military must have adopted the 'don't ask,don't tell' policy in allowing liberal vs conservative lawyers to prosecute. In 8 years, the al-Qaida terrorist will be back on attack.

Tuesday will be the first "National Day of Prayers' Answered"; the second will be in November 2012. May every Christian participate as though it is an Easter Sunday.
---
Heard a rather obnoxious smear ad against Mother Teresa Obamalinson on the radio yesterday. Listened intently for who 'approved this message' but it was not mentioned. Sat there and wondered which candidate would do this (better yet, which candidate would be believed to have run it), and finally deduced (under the demeanor of ad responses locally) that it may have been run by the candidate smeared.

L-E headline: "Newton shows his versatlity" -- Has the economy effected the L-E so badly that it has had to eliminate 'spell checker' from its word processor?
