The Breakfast Club - August 17, 2010

Online headline: "Teen Charged With Vehicular Homicide Sues Victims' Family" -- The girl killed a pregnant woman and herchild, and her father is suing the dead woman's family. Another textbook example, no, the definitive example of why 99% of lawyers give the other 1% a bad name.

Thought is was interesting that Warren Buffet's Berkshire-Hathaway stock holdings list didn't include AFLAC or Synovus.

Go, Northern.. In fact, you can help Northern "go" by donating online at www.northernll.org .

From a fellow BCer: Did you know that 11 states will issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens? When the DIM/DUMBorats were in charge of the GA House/Senate, they tried to do the same thing, but voters vetoed it at the ballot boxes. That's another reason not to vote "for" a candidate with "D" following his/her name (or a know "D" running in a non-partisan election). That includes Obama-linson for Mayor.

From the 'it's not one world' department - Online headline: "Taliban Stone Couple for Adultery in Afghanistan" -- And we have to be tolerant of these quasi-humans?

Let's face it, the city's beef with Spring Harbor has brought to light glaring deficiencies in tax assessment and collections. Me, I believe all 'property taxes' placed on corporations are negative. Corporations are not people, and, therefore, corporations receive no benefit from property taxes assessed to run schools and most city programs. Corporations do benefit from police and fire services and protection, therefore all corporations, including our schools and churches and other non-profits entities currently exempt should be assessed a fee for fire and police services. Uptown is a great example of this growing problem. Historic buildings & houses get special assessments, and churches, schools, and non-profit facilities get exemptions, and the growing number is cutting into city revenues, and future revenue growth is severely hampered by this. Just look at the growth of CSU UPtown Campus; every time they take over/build a building, that building is removed from the tax digest, but CSU needs the CFD and the CPD big time.

L-E headline: "Hamas leader: Muslims must build mosque near Ground Zero" -- Yeah, Mayor Bloomberg, yeah potUS ZERO-bama, there's nothing but religious freedom involved here...NOT! This is blatant mental terrorism!
---
L-E "soundoff" of note: "Using progressive logic, Democrats who are running for office who do not want Obama to campaign with them must be racist." -- Well said!
---
L-E headline: "Atlanta drug raid victim’s relative to get $4.9 million " -- Two wrongs do not make a right..
---
L-E's "QUOTABLE": “Character is much easier kept than recovered" Thomas Paine British author (1737-1809) " -- Of course, you must have it before any of the options above can be valid; will someone remind political candidates of this BEFORE they make a campaign promise, especially DIM/DUMBorats!
