Online "only in California" story: "State officials called off the execution of Albert Greenwood Brown after a state Supreme Court ruling made Friday the earliest possible day that Brown could be given a lethal injection. But by then, the state's entire supply of a drug used during the process would have expired. * The state high court ruling came a day after U.S. District Jeremy Fogel blocked the execution that had been scheduled for Thursday night. Fogel said he wanted more than a few days to determine whether California's new lethal injection process passes constitutional muster by avoiding cruel and unusual punishment. * Brown was sentenced to death in 1982 for raping and killing 15-year-old Susan Jordan. Brown had taunted Jordan's mother with a phone call saying she would never see her daughter again." -- A criminal who cruelly punished his victim's mother gets a 'delay' because using a drug that has passed its "Best if used by" date because that might be 'cruel and unusual punishment"... Hurry, November! PS- Let's hope the first act of the new Congress will be to give California back to Mexico!

L-E headline/story: "Murder suspect makes $30,000 bond * Fields is restricted to his grandmother’s house while out on bond, travel to and from his school and to visit his attorney." -- Why on earth is this guy allowed back in to a school? Talk about a need for "zero tolerance"!
---
Is X-POTUS Clinton getting paid for his Envoy to Haiti job while he's out campaigning for DIM/DUMBorat candidates?
--
Just enough DIM/DUMBorat Congresspersons voted to go home yesterday so they could try to save 'their' jobs rather than stay in Washington and save your job.
---
potUS Imam-a is still saying his HELL-thScare Bull will not prohibit you from keeping the healthcare plan you already have. This is proof that he still hasn't read that bill!
---
Dennis Miller summed up potUS Imam-a's strategy on the head last night. He called attention to the fact that Imam-a is out campaigning on his Afghan surge successes and defending his Christian beliefs. Remember when he slammed 'angry white men' for clinging to God and their guns when they were scared? Well, looks like potUS Imam-a is real scared 'cause his suddenly clinging to 'guns and God'!
---
GNN news has reported that Tony Adams was 'publicly hung' because he was racially fired without a trial. Wonder where they got that info, huh, Edward DuBose? Fact is Tony Adams was fired on recommendation of the City Manager, who happens to be black, because Tony Adams lied to the City Manager about signing unauthorized contracts. I do hope Council will adopt a unanimous resolution condemning Dubose and GNN for race baiting!
---
What kinda scam is Mimi pulling? Threats on her phone? Did she turn the answering machine and her phone records over to the police? Sounds pretty much like a sympathy ploy for making a bad vote!
---
I'm not even sure who's running against Mimi Woodson (mainly because the local Election website demands you enter your name and zip code, and will only show you a ballot that you will see at the polls), but if her district doesn't shed Woodson, serious damage will be made to the future of Columbus. She's a bigot of major proportions!
---
L-E headline: "Bernanke: Fed moves ahead on financial overhaul " -- Of course, there is a major difference of opinion between the Imam-a economic team and business as to which direction is actually 'moving ahead' rather than backwards or sideways.
---
L-E story: "WASHINGTON — Henry Kissinger, who helped steer Vietnam policy during the war’s darkest years, said Wednesday he is convinced that “most of what went wrong in Vietnam we did to ourselves” — beginning with underestimating the tenacity of North Vietnamese leaders. * “America wanted compromise,” he said. “Hanoi wanted victory.” -- Sounds an awful like what's going on now: potUS Imam-a wants compromise; Ahmandine-JIHAD wants victory.
---
L-E's "QUOTABLE": " “We cannot make good news out of bad practice.” * Edward R. Murrow American journalist (1908-1965)" -- Obviously, Edward R. Murrow would not have been selected to head up potUS Imam-a's 'press release team".
-------------------------------

From L-E story: "When the first designs of the building were presented Aug. 31, Councilor Evelyn “Mimi” Woodson said the city service center had no personality." -- Speaking of no personality...
---
L-E headline: "Oct. 6 is International Walk to School Day" -- What a novel idea. Reminds me our my school days when we walked to school or even rode our bicycles! Let's bring back neighborhood schools, scrap buses altogether, and go back to the Labor Day Tuesday start date, and end the early part of June. That way , kids won't have to walk in the hot summer months, and schools won't have to run A/C during the month of August!
---
L-E story: "Columbus Police announced just after 11 a.m. today that they have arrested two men in connection with razor blades being taped to playground equipment at Lakebottom Park earlier this year. * “These individuals have admitted their participation in these incidents,” Columbus Police Chief Ricky Boren“These individuals have admitted their participation in these incidents,” Columbus Police Chief Ricky Boren" -- Congrats CPD! Rather than a punishment of time, how about grinding up the blades and have these playground terrorist eat them then give'em an overdose of laxatives!
---
potUS Imam-a says 'we' need a "long term plan"....Finally, I agree with him on something! We need to plan never to elect another DIM/DUMBorat to Congress or the White House!
---
Online headline: "Obama Makes Case for Education Reform" -- I'll bet so, especially after the DIM/DUMBorats have educated the voters on how big a mistake they made in electing them.
---
Online headline: "Obama, Biden Scold 'Apathetic,' 'Whining' Democrats * Using words like "inexcusable" and "whining," President Obama and Vice President Biden are scolding Democratic voters" -- Well, potUS & VPOTUS Imam-a bin Biden have set their own table, and not even yellow-dog DIM/DUMBorats want to join them at the table. This may get gory as when they resort to pistol whipping the hold-outs.
---
"Raspberries" for Edward DuBose for throwing the race card, and "Kudos" for Mayor Wetherington for standing up for what the issue is about. Not sure if there is an 'award' to send to Isaiah Hugley for "CYA"...well, maybe a 'donut' pillow.
---
Online headline: "What Did GE's Summer Plunge Signal?" -- Well, I certainly didn't help GE! Since Jeffery Immelt sided with and helped get potUS Imam-a elected, I haven't bought one GE product, not even a light bulb. Doesn't matter that Immelt left Imam-a's ship because the damage was already done.
---
To all the potUS Imam-a voters who were swayed by the only campaign promise he kept, "America's the world's greatest country; help me change it.", are you happy yet?
---
Any incumbent who does not run on his record does not deserve to be re-elected.
---
The San Francisco Chronicle, the bastion of California liberalism, says it cannot endorse Senator Barbara Boxer for re-election based on her 18 years of wasted representation. WOW! Don't you love it when liberals eat their own?

Katy Perry must be a basket case. She couldn't make it in Christian music, and now Sesame Street has rejected her.

Monday AM, as I was taking my daughter and my neighbors' daughter (both 13), my daughter switched the radio to 107.3. It's not one of the stations I listen to, but obviously it attracts a teen audience during school driving time. It was the "Elvis Duran Show" and the discussion of the day turned out to be about "bucket lists for sex acts". The first caller called in asking if she should be suspect of her fiancee because he drunkenly tried to get her approval to have a 3-way with another woman before they got married and settled down. I have never seen my daughter move so fast as she shot out her hand to change the station! PMB, the same group that owns "The Truth" owns this station, too. This is what they are offering to your teenaged children/grandchildren as they drive to school. Here are Helen Neal's and Dave Arwood's e-mail addresses: hneal@pmbbroadcasting.com Dave@q1073.com . Let'em know how you feel.

It will be interesting now that Tony Adams has been fired to see if the abutting crime districts around the Comer headquarters will remain 2 of the worse in Columbus now that the Blazer Basketball program has been scrapped.. it has been scrapped, hasn't it!

L-E's "Thought for Today": “Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.” — Eleanor Roosevelt, American first lady (1884-1962)" -- Will some one FED-Ex this (same day delivery, please) to Edward DuBose!

Roy Barnes....Even his name makes me envision Sam Walton's "Ol' Roy". a big yellow dog riding in the back of a pick-up waiting for another hand-out.

Can you believe it but "Actos" has run a 'double truck" ad for the 3rd day in a row in the L-E! The mark-up in this prescription must be phenomena!
-------------------

Online headline/story: "FBI Employees Cheated on Exams, Justice Department Report Finds * The DOJ concludes that cheaters should be disciplined and re-tested with a new exam." -- "disciplined and re-tested"? Character is what you do when no one is looking, or in this case, when you don't think you'll get caught. Character should be the number 1 requirement of an FBI employee. Off with their heads!
---
Reading what the MCSD Board candidates said shows why we do not need, much less can afford, former 'educators' on the board. The boards number one duty is to the community as a whole, not micro-managing "causes".
---
Cass Sunstein, Constitutional law professor, chief potUS Imam-a confidant, and one of potUS Imam-a's appointed "Tsars" was recently exposed in a tape saying, ""Some conservative legal thinkers like Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas think that the Constitution means what it originally meant." -- Does this not sum up potUS Imam-a's agenda? Does this not give you purpose to make sure you vote in November and every election after?
---
Online headline: "Obama Makes Case for Education Reform" -- I'll bet so, especially after the DIM/DUMBorats have educated the voters on how big a mistake they made in electing them.

Reverend Long says he has five stones..... OK, one for Goliath.... but what are the other 4 for; well, there are 4 accusers...............
---
L-E headline: "Obama wants longer school year" -- Does that include the private school his kids attend? potUS Imam-a has already killed vacationing in Las Vegas; now he must want to kill off vacations in general for all families with school aged children.
---
L-E headline: " Georgia executes inmate who attempted suicide " -- Question.. Why didn't the officials just let him succeed?
---
L-E "soundoff": "The only way we are going to get manufacturing flowing in this country again is to tax the top 1 percent of the richest people at 90 percent, the way it was in the 1950s. " -- What an obvious DIM/DUMBorat! Excessively taxing the highest 1% is exactly why they moved their manufacturing operations overseas! Char-broil is a great local example.
---
L-E headline: " Executions held up by shortage of drug * Sole American manufacturer out until January" -- What are they making instead..another deadly 'flu shot"? This is a very good reason to go back to the 'firing squad'; plenty of folks would be glad to donate a few bullets as needed.
---
L-E headline: "Skakel appeals, claims attorney incompetent " -- Probably has a good case as he's the only "Kennedy" to have been convicted of anything!
---
L-E headline/story: "Segway owner dies in fall * LONDON — A wealthy British businessman who owns the company that makes the two-wheeled Segway has been found dead in a river in northern England after apparently falling off a cliff on one of the vehicles, police said Monday." What a 'segue' into a pun, but I'm going to resist.

No wonder our medical costs are so high! "Actos" has had a double-spread ad in the L-E for two straight days, and one of those pages lists all the reasons you shouldn't buy it, but it won't stop Doctors from prescribing it!

John Suhr, I'm going to miss him; we're all going to miss him. Remember him as you cast your vote in November.

Online headline: "Witness Describes 'Hell' at New Jersey Party Shooting" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought Michael Moore was filming a DIM/DUMBorat Caucus.

Online headline: "Peace Hopes in Doubt as Israeli Settlement Freeze Is Lifted" -- What good is 'peace' if you give up freedom for a short term compromise? Go Israel!
---
Online headline: "Officials Say Levee Failing Near Wisconsin Park" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought some DIM/DUMBorats had conceded another Congressional seat was lost to a Republican.
---
With all the turmoil within the City because of the Parks and Rec scandal, one thing that hasn't been aired is who opened the account for Adams and Porter at CB&T. Without that account being set up, and set up without proper documentation of City officials' authorization, this situation could not have evolved. The L-E needs to air out the whole story.
---
L-E headline: "New Muslim superhero on the way * Comic book to feature character by disabled youths" -- Will this bring on another wave of jihadist? The Muslim extremist who seek vengeance for any jocular political cartoons around the world are going to accept a disabled Muslim superhero published in a comic book? Yeah, right...
---
L-E headline: "Congress prepares to punt " -- Punt? Congress needs to be prepared for a swift kick in the ...... Hurry November.
---
If potUS Imam-a not only revoked the "Bush Tax Cuts", even re-doubled them, not only would the revenue not even 'dent' the spending spree debt Imam-a invoked, but would hyper-affect the inflation bubble he's created.
---
Hmmm, if all November voters ask themselves, "Am I better off than I was 2 years ago" before they cast their ballots, only George Soros could vote for any DOM/DUMBorat candidate; even potUS Imam-a and his bride would have a hard time voting DIM/DUMB this year.
---
While it's certainly not a recent decision, the L-E does not have a "Business Section/Page" on Mondays. Guess the L-E thinks the rest of the world closes shop on the weekends.
--------------------------------

Online headline/story:"Calif. Inmate Gets More Time to Choose Execution Method * Albert Greenwood Brown has until noon Sunday to decide between a lethal injection of one drug or the three-drug cocktail California has used in its last 12 executions." -- Well, finally something a California judge's ruling I can support. The prisoner will have something to really thinks about during his last hours...instant death or slower death. Of course, it would have been even better if the judge added the choice of using one of Saddam Hussein's 'wood chippers' as a third choice.
---
While it's not really unusual for one of the SEC's Bulldogs not to have a conference victory at this point of the season, it is unusual that it's the UGS Bulldogs this year. Musta been the cowbells; ding-dong dammit.

The MSU win last night didn't have as much glee as I expected; MSU wasn't the underdog so it wasn't an upset..

Please accept my apology for being insensitive to UGA fans....NOT! but a few more years of DIM/DUMBorat passing laws they hadn't read, and it may become politically incorrect, even illegal, to pull for your team to win.

Online headline: "New Blow for Marijuana Legalization Effort in Calif." Ooops, my bad! Figured some druggie had patented a way to short marijuana.
---
Online headline: "Minn. Man Who Said He Was Kidnapped Found in Vegas" -- Ooops, my bad, again. Thought this might be one of potUS Imam-a's staff trying to hide the fact from him that he went to Las Vegas during these hard times.
---
L-E headline: "Mayoral hopefuls back police in Parks & Recreation investigation" -- Of course, two of them actually believe it while at least one, maybe two, of them may just be making a 'campaign promise'....
---
L-E headline: "City of Columbus Pension funds in need of infusion" -- Hmmm, do we use LOST funds to support our Public Safety needs or Midnight Nike Basketball?
---
From a fellow BCer: "Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens. - Ben Stein" -- In this light, maybe Arizona can get around the Fed Judge's ruling. Instead of asking for proof of citizenship, Arizona police can arrest anyone without proof of insurance, and it won't be 'profiling'. The Arizona police can be hired as receptionists at all Emergency Rooms, and most of our healthcare problems will cease, too!
---
There's only one question each MCSD candidate needs to answer: Do you want to serve because you want to represent the community and keep the school system within it's budget, or do you want to serve in order to pile on future debt for our children to have to pay off?
---
L-E's "Thought for Today, “A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.” — George Santayana, American philosopher (1863-1952). " -- There you have it in a nutshell...the reason teen pregnancy has escalated, why children are obese, and why too students leave high school without skills and discipline for real world survival. It's potUS Imam-a and the DIM/DUMBorat Manifesto to control our children from cradle to grave.

Online story: ""It was offensive. It was hateful. And particularly for him (Ahmandine-JIHAD) to make the statement here in Manhattan, just a little north of ground zero, where families lost their loved ones, people of all faiths, all ethnicities who see this as the seminal tragedy of this generation. For him to make a statement like that was inexcusable," Obama said. -- Of course Ahmandine-JIHAD is hateful; he hates you, he hates America. It's his job! By the way potUS Imam-a, it's your job to protect the healing of this nation, not the Hamas-que!
---
How did these gargantuan salaries jump up in public companies? If someone is 'worth' some of these multi-million dollar salaries, he/she should start his/her own company rather than deplete the cash and value from a publicly held corporation.
---
In the L-E editorial section is a reprint of a Miami Herald editorial titled, "Cuba’s ‘free market’ tailspin ". Don't let the title divert you from reading it. It repudiates, in spades, the DIM/DUMBorat Manifesto of potUS Imam-a's economic strategy.

Online headline: "Virginia Executes a Woman for 1st Time in US Since 2005" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought they were going to tell me this wasn't the first time she'd been executed.

I really didn't understand why Judge Clay Land did not recuse himself from Shelnutt's trial after he wouldn't accept potential jurors who attended St Luke.

With Columbus' unemployment rising to 9.7% in August, even potUS Imam-a's best chance at a 'summer recovery' didn't happen.

Online headline: "Warren Buffett: 'We're Still in a Recession' -- Who ya gonna believe any of potUS Imam-a's Tsars or Warren Buffet?

Looks like Starbucks' announcement to raise it's already astronomical prices will test the last straw as whether fathers around the country will rescind their college daughters' debit cards.
---
potUS Imam-a attempted to shut down AIDS protestors by claiming that if they didn't elect DIM/DUMBorats in November, AIDS research would backtrack to the Republican years. Hmmmm, in 2003, the Republicans tripled the money for AIDS research in Africa.
---
When are we going to find out who at CB&T opened the account used to laundry Nike money for Parks&Rec personnel? It wasn't some secretary in the lobby.
---
potUS Imam-a and his 40 Tsars think that people making more than $250,000.00 will pay more in taxes if the Bush cuts for them are rescinded. DIM/DUMBs really are dim/dumb if they think those citizens won't find ways not to lower their earned income below the target figure. Of course the capital gains increase will tax everyone, even under the $250K 'cap'
---
Since 'we' own 61% of GM, why are GM executives being allowed to have PACs again?
---
Whether it's national, or at a state and/or local level, new jobs in the government do not help the economy. New government jobs at any level add more strain, more drain on the revenues being received as well as the drain and strain of new/higher taxes to sustain them.
---
L-E headline: "Saban: Alabama to play Michigan in 2012" -- Wonder whether the Congressional DIM/DUMBorats will try to bailout Michigan...again?

Online story: "In an interview with (Bob) Woodward last summer, the president said, "We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger." -- Excuse me? Is the 'we' potUS Imam-a talks about being stronger "us" or al Qaida Muslims?
---
Bob Woodward, liberal star supreme for his reporting/book that toppled Richard Nixon, is now about to do the same for potUS Imam-a. Isn't it rich to see how cannibalistic liberals can be of their own?
---
Online headline: "Joe Biden Hits the Road to Support Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought Lincoln had sent Biden packing so she didn't have to explain her connection.

It must be new math or something. A local car dealer is advertising a "Super 96 hour sale - Saturday and Sunday only". Please don't let them figure up your monthly payments!

Since three of his 'economic devisors', and now his 'bailout csar' have resigned, it looks like the smart DIM/DUMBorats are abandoning potUS Imam's "Titanic" before in runs completely aground like a pod of beached whales.

L-E headline/story: "Dog poop powers lamp in dog park * To him (Matthew Mazzotta) , the dog poop device helps fill a need for clean energy..." -- Dog poop is "Clean energy"...isn't this an oxymoron?

L-E headline: "Paleontologists report find of new dinosaur species" -- Ooops, a double 'my bad' article. Aside from the oxymoron, 'new dinosaur species', I thought some research group had discovered a new breed of DIM/DUMBorat voting bloc.

This isn't UGA's year... Not only are they not 'the top dog' in this weeks match-up of the "SEC Dawgs", UGA is the 'underdog'! That's already enough to insure a record decibel output for the MSU cowbells!

Online story: "Lawrence Summers will step down as director of President Barack Obama's National Economic Council at the end of the year, the White House announced Tuesday. * Summers, who helped craft the administration's economic policy and leads a daily presidential briefing, said he will return to academia." -- It's a toss up between what is the most embarrassing aspect: 1 - admitting responsibility for 'crafting' potUS Imam-a's economic policy, or 2 - having academia welcome him back with open arms.
---
Watched "Mad Max" the other night for the first time in years. Who'd have thought Mel Gibson was not actually acting?

potUS Imam-a apparently has ignored the 'rule of law' concerning his Aunt Zeituni. Of course, he has ignored her as he has his brother, George, in Kenya. Wish he'd ignore me.
---
L-E "head-LIE": "DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL’ *Republicans block bill to lift military ban on gays" -- Hmmm...only 43 Senators voted "for" the bill, so it looks like DIM/DUMBs are just as involved in 'blocking' passage of such. You may add any who voted against ending the debate to your voting consideration.
---
What's worse than our President ignoring our Constitution? How about potUS Imam-a ignoring God when citing our Declaration of Independence!

What a travesty! Iranian President Ahmandine-JIHAD compares a US woman being put to death for arranging the murder of her husband and stepson with that of stoning an Irani woman for 'adultery'. It's not one world.

Do you realize that we already know more about GOP Senate primary winner Christine O'Donnell than potUS Imam-a?

What is it about Government DIM/DUMBorats feeling tax cuts "should be paid for"? It's our money to begin with. If anything needs to be cut, it's what Congress spends our money on.

If joining a union would improve the economy, then unions would be prospering big time from people breaking down the doors to join. Let's face it, making or forcing people to join a union is not what makes the economy 'click'.

---
From L-E's "Today in History": "In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of Jan. 1, 1863." -- Wow! It's rare that any info discussing the Emancipation Proclamation will reveal that slaves in Union sympathizing state were not freed.
---
Concerning Sanford Bishop's 'personal scholarship program': When the L-E reported 3 scholarships Bishop doles out were given to 'family', the L-E seemingly ignored 4 others tha were brought to light by the Albany Herald. One was for a staff member of his who neither lived nor went to college in Bishop's district (scholarship requirement), and 3 went to children of Bishop's wife's employees. What a wonderful perk if you can get it.

Well said, Tom Graffignino! As applied to Stephen Hawking, "'intelligence' and 'wisdom' are not synonyms".

L-E headline: "Stocks mixed as Fed leaves door open " -- Ooops, my bad. Thought the culprit had been charged with why so many unsupported dollars had been printed off and gotten into circulation!
---
L-E headline: "Unemployment rises in 27 states " -- Typical potUS Imam-a and Company 'spin'. "Unemployment rises" is the only way to give an uplifting look at 27 state losing more jobs. So ends 'the Summer of Recovery", and so begins "Fall Flat on Your Face 'Fall' ".
----------------------------------------

Online story: "The National Bureau of Economic Research, the arbiter of when recessions begin and end, has reported that the Great Recession ended June 2009." -- Wow! Even potUS Imam-a, even VPOTUS Biden-Biden, not even the 'grate debater' Robert Gibbs could top this spin!
---
From L-E story: "The Fed's meeting comes one day after the National Bureau of Economic Research, a group of academic economists, declared that the recession that began in December 2007 ended in June 2009. It marked the longest and most severe downturn since the Great Depression. The decision won't affect the Fed's deliberations on Tuesday. That's because the Fed makes policy decisions based on where it thinks the economy is heading, say six months from now. Not where it has been." -- Is there any doubt that neither potUS Imama-a or DIM/DUMB controlled Congress has any clue of what is going on or in what direction either needs to take the next step. Hurry November!

Online headline: "Celebs Gear Up to Fight Global Poverty" -- Ooops, my bad! Thought Hollywood was going to take less gross salaries so the public could afford to go to movies.
---
Online headline/story: "Man Arrested After Alleged Bomb Attempt in Chicago * Sami Samir Hassoun, 22, a Lebanese citizen living in Chicago for about three years, was charged with one count each of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted use of an explosive device." -- Hmmm, what's interesting is that the reporter, Sophia Tareen, did not mention whether Hassoun was, or was not, Muslim. Guess what my guess is?
---
Online headline: "Dems' agenda hidden in defense bill" -- If you vote for any DIM/DUMBorat, you encourage this act of cowardice. The DIM/DUMBs have controlling numbers in both Houses but want to hide their agenda laws in necessary legislation, because they do not want to explain to the voters how they have abused and wasted our tax dollars.
---
L-E story on the carjacking: "In court this morning, Turpin faced multiple charges for which Judge ___ ____ set these bonds: $5,000 for possessing a firearm while committing a crime, $2,500 for fleeing police, $1,500 for obstructing police, $600 for having no auto insurance and $500 for having no driver’s license." The crimes also included were shooting the victim 5 times, and burdening us law-abiding taxpayers with the cost of medical and emergency treatment! Why is bond even an option, much less low enough that it could be met?
---
I hope someone can supply different sources/facts that are available online as other than the US, the figures/statistics are estimates rather than specific collected data, but I'd like to know why the US has more cases of Autism, percentage wise, than most every other country in the world.

L-E headline: "Major job fair Wednesday, Thursday" -- Ooops, my bad! It wasn't a typo, but I thought maybe there was going to be a late recruitment for more candidates for mayor.
---
L-E headline: "Teen banned from local libraries after ignoring requests to quit religious proselytizing" -- Hmmm, you can only wonder if the Library administration would have had more tolerance if the teen had been a Muslim rather than a professed Christian.
---
You know, the MCSD Board should be monitoring the best use of available funds rather than finding ways to reduce available funds for classroom use. Bus problems...eliminate busing, and for wanting to add more funds for more retirement coverage, 40 lashes (thought a little Muslim type punishment might emphasize the lack of tolerance exhibited by the Library System they monitor, too) for wanting to boost the already insufferable 84.9% of revenues that already goes for salaries and benefits.

L-E's "Thought for Today": “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” — Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (born 1788, died this date in 1860). -- Hmmm, you mean there's still hope that liberals will ultimately accept Rush Limbaugh?
---
L-E headline: "Deal’s role with failed business still unclear" -- What's "unclear' about a father supporting and sacrificing for his children? Guess it's conservative thing; newspaper writers wouldn't understand.

Sweden's elections just went conservative and strongly for stronger immigration laws. " Sunday’s election showed that the country’s welcome to refugees is not universally accepted: Nearly 6 percent of the population voted for a nationalist group that accuses immigrants — especially Muslims — of eroding Sweden’s national identity and its cherished welfare state. * It’s a bitter pill for a nation that frowned upon Denmark’s vitriol toward Muslim immigrants,Swiss attempts to ban minarets and France’s crackdown on Gypsy camps. * Hardening attitudes toward immigrants have helped far-right radicals gain influence elsewhere in western Europe. * The Netherlands, which built a reputation of open minded policies, took a hard right turn against immigration in 2002, when populist politician Pim Fortuyn broke all taboos against speaking out against multiculturalism and said Holland was “full.” Anti-immigrant parties have been significant factors in every election since then" -- Hey, aren't Sweden, Denmark, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands the pedestalized examples of tolerance that liberals swoon about? My, oh my.
---
L-E headline: "Poll: Americans split on tax cut extension" -- You mean there are folks that want to raise their own taxes or lose their jobs? We do need a new "Poll tax"! Make it a crime to vote if you express the desire to raise your taxes; obviously there is a strong case for not being mentally competent if you feel that way.

While I actually agree it's not a good deal for Columbus to participate in the 1% Transportation tax because Columbus will receive only half of its contribution, Council doesn't have a good argument since it always campaigns that people outside Columbus will pay a huge portion of the SPLOST&LOST taxes Council and the MCSD Board have imposed on Columbus. Does Council have a different opinion now?

Online headline/story: "Cubs Player Impaled by a Broken Bat * Close to half of Major League Baseball players use maple bats, which have thinner bat handles than other varieties and thus splinter more easily." -- This is a result of high school and college players using metal/composite bats. The manmade bats use the thinner handle which allows a player to get more wrist action in his swing. During the 1980's "Baseball" changed wood bat dimensions that dictated that bats could have a minimum diameter of 3/4" versus the old standard of 1.25". This kind of 'accident' has been a time bomb.
---
Online headline: "Bill Clinton Says He Worries About Tea Party's Goals" -- Well, he's a liberal DIM/DUMBorat and he thinks the Constitution is just a bunch of 'suggestions'; he should be worried about the T.E.A. Party.
---
Online headline: "Poll Shows Unemployment on the Rise Again" -- Well, it's election time, and ACORN is not out registering dead and non-existent people.
---
L-E headline: "Employers expect premium costs to leap as health care law provisions take effect" -- Well what did you expect after DIM/DUMBorats 'promised' HELL=thScare would lower costs? To a DIM/BUMB politician, a 'promise' is just something to campaign on, not to keep.
---
L-E story: "Statewide, 43 percent of the respondents support changing the education system so it can operate within the available budget. But 25 percent supported additional cuts to other services to provide more money for education, and 19 percent would pay higher taxes or fees to restore school funding." -- Hmmm, 19% 'say' they would pay more in taxes...of course, that's assuming they actually pay any taxes to begin with.
---
Many a mother has asked many a question of why her son died in wartime to many a President, but if a mother asked a question about her son who died to potUS Imam-a, it would be "why is my son being buried under the Ground Zero Mosque?".
---
As we approach the mayoral election season, you have to think about this: When all the trial lawyers haved circled their wagons around a candidate who is 'one of their own', grab your wallet!
---
Early voting starts today in GA......you know, anyone who votes this early shouldn't be allowed to vote at all; he/she has made up his/her mind before listening to all the issues have been addressed, and all the dirty ads have been run.
---
L-E headline: "Poll: Schools should work with available funds" -- Arrggghhhh! There is someone out there who actually has run a poll on school districts being responsible and accountable?
---
From George Will's L-E column: "Fidel Castro, 84, may have failing eyesight but he has noticed something: “The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore.” So, the secret is out." -- Hmmm, maybe potUS Imam-a will run for the Cuban presidency on the basis that it has failed because the right people aren't running it.
---
L-E headline: "UGA’s Richt sees positives in loss" -- Only if he thinks that he will get his asking price on his home during this market when his contract is bought out...
---
The Tuesday L-E foreclosure section has become so full, the L-E looks like it is starting it on Mondays, now. potUS Imam-a...is this your idea of "the Summer of Recovery"?
---

Recent financial disclosures for Nathan Deal have revealed two important values about him, One is that he sacrifices for his children, and two, he obviously hasn't lined his pockets to become 'filthy rich' at the taxpayer expense. Now, King Roy, on the other hand....
---
Online headline: "Michigan State Fakes Out the Irish" -- College football at its 'backyard best'!
---
L-E story: "“A lot of people are reluctant to go on the road but you can ride on the road safely,” he said. MidTown and downtown Columbus are good areas to ride. * He also ENCOURAGED cyclists not to ride on sidewalks. * “In your mind you think ‘cars don’t use the sidewalk so I’m safe,’” he said, but adding cyclists are more likely to collide with a car if they are riding on a sidewalk. “It’s safer to ride on the street with cars no matter how counter intuitive that may be.” -- ENCOURAGED? It's AGAINST GA & Columbus laws for anyone over 12 to ride on sidewalks!
---
L-E headline: "Worker accused of stealing $16,000 from city" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought another Parks & Rec person was caught, but am glad to see auditing is catching those who steal from us.
--
L-E headline: "Poll shows many voters distrust Democrats" -- How carefully worded as not to show that the L-E staff is not included in those who distrust the DIM/DUMBS.
---
Can you believe NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to ban smoking in Central Park? What a nanny (and ninnie, too)! If Bloomberg wants to clean up the NYC air, he should require all taxi & buses to be pedal-driven, and ban all tobacco products from being sold in the City Limits, BUT...BUT, he's not about to do that because of all the tax revenues he would lose..HYPOCRITE!
---
L-E headline: "LifeWings comes to St. Francis Hospital with program to reduce human error" -- There's really only 2 ways to reduce human error...firing and attrition.
---
From the 'last time I plan to mention her' department - L-E headline/story: "Lohan tweets she failed drug test ordered by court * She also said, “Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it.” -- Disease or not, it all comes down to a choice of whether you, as an individual, partake of a drug/alcohol.
---
Nearly a week has passed and the L-E has not updated its scholarship fraud story on Sanford Bishop. The Albany Herald mentioned 4 more scholarships given to an aide and 3 of his wife's employee's children. Bishop's act was not a one-time error in judgement, it has been an arrogant series of 'I'm-a-Congressman-and-your-rules-don't-apply-to-me'.
---
The "Honor Flight" is one of the best, maybe even the very best, program to honor the sacrifices and memories of our veterans, but unless there was an unforgivable error made in one person's information, how can a 78 year old be included on such a flight? Being 78 means she was born in either 1931 or 1932, and she would have been only 14 or 13 when WWII ended.
---
When you think about it, CB&T's new East Columbus Branch & Police Department is both a stroke of genius and a slap in the face.
---
Whenever I see Froma Harrop's name, two thoughts cross my mind. One is her name, like her writings, remind me of the sound and presence left after a camel passes gas, and the second is a line from "Forrest Gump", "Stupid is as stupid does. That's all I have to say about that."
---
Oh, and Leonard Pitt's is still 'the pits'.
---
Speaking of "stupid'... the L-E actually pays to print Harrop and 'the Pitts" material.
---
This kills me. On Phenix City's Council's Agenda is one from the "Police Department" : "Resolution in reference to declaring a 1984 Pontiac four-door vehicle surplus to be sold to the highest bidder at a public auction." -- Selling a 1984 Pontiac as surplus 'to the highest bidder at public auction'. Excuse me, but cashing it in during the "Cash for Clunkers" program would have fetched a lot more than the 'high bid at a public auction'.
---------------------------

Mother Teresa Obamalinson's current ad concerning using tax dollars to rebuild in declining neighborhoods is EXACTLY why we cannot afford her as our Mayor. As the director of MidTown, she forced a very expensive referendum down our throats to get a taxpayer funded program that had no ongoing success anywhere else, and we rejected it overwhelmingly. Can you imagine the burden she could create if she has access to the LOST Public Safety/Infrastructure revenues?

Bobby Cox is retiring from Atlanta at the end of the year. Joe Torre is stepping down at the Dodgers, also. Match?

Online headline: "Man Has the World's Longest Nose" -- Ooops. my bad! Thought the judges of the International Pinocchio Liars Club had finally chosen between potUS Imam-am, ex-POTUS Clinton, and Queen Pelosi.

In her latest movie (who cares), Lindsay Lohan "starred (?) in the grindhouse-comedy-slasher film "Machete," playing a drug-addled sex fiend-cum-Catholic nun as well." -- Now that's a stretch....NOT!
---
L-E story concerning the "Transportation Investment (TAX) Act of 2010": -- "Columbus would generate $30 million of the total $52 million in taxes for the region but only 25 percent would be returned for projects selected by a roundtable panel. * Councilor Evelyn “Mimi” Woodson said she doesn’t mind helping other communities but she is concerned about the majority of the money being decided by somebody else. * “I’m not comfortable with this bill when it comes to division in our community,” she said. * Now that the bill is ALREADY law, City Manager Isaiah Hugley said the city doesn’t have a choice at what happens now." -- Are you sure this wasn't from a script from a Saturday Night Live spoof skit? What's that old adage about closing the doors after the cows have left the barn? Unbelievable!!
---
Just a reminder for those contemplating 'other plans' for the night of Thursday, September 23, 2010. The season opener of "Bones" airs at 8:00 PM.
---
From the L-E: "Average U.S. household wealth now amounts to $455,173. That’s up from $415,185 during the recession. Federal Reserve, in report released Friday" -- Hmmm, guess that means that the combined wealth of the Bill Gates and Warren Buffet households average out 220,000 households which have nothing.
------------------------------

Online headline: "E-Cigs (Electronic cigarette): Popular With Kids, but What's in Them?" The government can stop cigarette companies from advertising to children, but allows e-cig makers to sell to minors? Government at its best is at best mediocre.
---
Yesterday's Jobs Report said "only" 450,000 people applied for first time unemployment aid, and Wall Street thought that was 'ok', and potUS Imam-a and other DIM/DUMBs patted themselves on the back. That's on a pace of still losing 1.7 MILLION jobs every 4 weeks during "The Summer of Recovery"; what would it have taken for the potUS and his Tsars to have been concerned?
---
Fox News teased its viewers with a trailer of finding out how Bristol Palin 'juggles motherhood, charity and dancing on TV". I would like to know where her education and work hit into her life.
---
Whether she said it or not, the statement Michelle Obama claiming being in the White House is on a par with "Hell", I could see how she could think that. Imagine, having to get up each day and provide something of value to do for her 22 person personal sycophants.

Do you reckon the Tony Adams who gets 'bylines' in the L-E gets confused with the Tony Adams makes 'headlines' in the L-E? Bets he cringes when someone says, "I saw your name in the L-E!
---
Talk about something the GBI does need to investigate, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance has been awfully quiet about asking for the GBI to investigate Congressman Sanford Bishop. Though it wasn't mentioned in the L-E, the Albany Herald story in the Thursday, September 16, 2010 edition, said there were 4 additional scholarships Bishop awarded that have a 'too close connection' to have qualified. One was given to and aide not qualified to receive one, and 3 were awarded to children of Bishop's wife's employees.
---
L-E 'headlie' and such: "Hotelsin.com offering lodging in Columbus *
Hotels.com does not offer hotel reservations in Columbus, Georgia,” the website says. “We apologize for any inconvenience. The hotels listed below can be found within 30 miles of Columbus, Georgia.” * Into this online gap now comes Hotelsin.com with its web link www.hotelsincolumbus.com, offering accommodations at hotels located right here in Columbus." -- Columbus L-E..make up your mind.
---
Once again, Judy F. Brouillette gets it wrong. What ever I said about Froma Harrop in yesterday's L-E, Froma is smarter than Judy.
---
L-E "Soundoff": "Will someone please take Hal Kirven’s pen and paper from him." -- Heh heh heh...obviously this is a "Judy (from above)"; she's the only person I know that would assume I use archaic methods to voice my opinion. She just confirmed my above opinion.
---
It doesn't matter whether a DIM/DUMBorat Congressman is a "yellow dog" or a 'blue dog' variety, ant Congressman who uses other people's money to benefit his family and friends is simply "a cur'.
---
One question about Congressman Bishops's family & friends scholarship program is how is the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation funded? Are there any earmarks or other government grants/funds given to it, or is the Foundation fully funded by private donations? Other questions are if there is federal money included in the Foundation, why isn't there an open application system for students of all colors in the districts, and why are only districts with members of the CBC participating? Surely, there'd be an uproar if there was a Congressional Non-Black Caucus and Congressional Non-Black Foundation giving scholarships to students not living in CBC districts.
---
L-E headline: "Senate passes $30B small business credit measure
Democrats claim win creating fund to open up lending " -- Yeah, right, just like 'stim-YOU-Lie' did.
---
L-E's "QUOTABLE": “The most dangerous strategy is to jump a chasm in two leaps.” Benjamin Disraeli British statesman (1804-1881)" -- Sorta like "stim-YOU-LIE" and "stim-YOU-LIR 2"?
---
No Hardaway-CHS game? That's a shame!
---
L-E headline: "Pfizer seeks to expand business in pet health " -- Guess "PAWS" will be dispensing Viagra for cats and dogs who have been neutered.
---

Online story: "(NYC) Mayor Michael Bloomberg today announced plans to ban smoking in some of the Big Apple's most famous outdoor locations, including Central Park, the boardwalk at Coney Island and part of Times Square." -- Hmmm, Boob-berg is not so tolerant of individual citizen rights, but is of Muslim religious rights. Hypocrite!
---
Online headline/story: "Molly Norris, Artist Behind 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day' Cartoon, Goes Into Hiding * Pakistani Muslims burn an effigy of American cartoonist Molly Norris during a protest against Facebook in Karachi on May 26." -- Hmmm.. aren't these the same people who want freedom of speech and religious tolerance for wanting to build the Hamas-que at 'Ground Zero'? Yeah, right!
---
Online story: "Deputies in Orange County, Fla., are trying to track down a one-legged man who evaded authorities on foot." -- "ONE-legged man...evaded authorities on FOOT" Do you think the author was trying to be 'punny' or...?
---
L-E headline: "GOP continues hammering Bishop over scholarships *Also under fire for netting $75,000 earmark to Liberty Theatre where wife was a supporter" -- Hmmm, and lets not forget the 'Earmark donation' to the Junior Marshal's program and subsequent hiring of his stepdaughter and her husband. The only real question here is why the L-E is signaling the GOP for 'hammering' Bishop; every taxpayer should be doing the same! Of course, nowadays, if you are a taxpayer based on non-government-paid salaries, you probably ARE a Republican.
---
From above story: "..said Travis Worl, Bishop’s re-election campaign manager. “None of the people named in this report are related to the congressman or Mrs. Bishop and were found to be qualified for the scholarships when they received them.” * Bishop has said he has since repaid the foundation $6,350 for the Congressional Black Caucus Spouses Cheerios Brand Health Initiative Scholarship awarded to Aayesha Owens Reese, the congressman’s stepdaughter, and Emmaundia Whitaker, his wife’s niece." -- "stepdaughter...niece...NOT RELATED? Even Robert Gibbs would not try to spin potUS Imam-a out of this web of lies!
---
Will someone tell the 16 pastors that the Parks & Rec investigation is about fraud; it's a 'green', it is not a 1960's 'black' issue, and they should 'move on' into the 21st Century.
---
What a perspective! A man being interviewed about the cost of entitlement programs said he 'didn't like taking government money, but what other kind is there?
---
When potUS Imam-a quits smoking and eating 'junk food', I might listen to his concerns for HELL-thScare; when he stops providing a private jet for his dog when Air Force One is headed on vacation, I might listen to his concerns about energy conservation. Until then, potUS Imam-a needs to just stop reading his TelPrompTer, and talk from his heart.
---
Faiz Kahn is to Imam Rauf as Reverend Jeremiah Wright was/is to potUS Imam-a.
---
Something really bothers me about the L-E headline in Wednesday's paper:

"COLUMBUS PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT * 16 black ministers urge council to turn over investigation to GBI ".

Why the emphasis on 'black ministers'? Would not "16 ministers" have been proper? Of course, the L-E may have intentionally wanted to prod racial division as election time is nearing. Shame on the ministers, and any other color ministers, for wanting to make this a 'black issue'.
---
Now, I'm really getting concerned...."Where IS Algore?"
---
What's wrong with politics? DIM/DUMB's who re-elect scoundrels like Marion Berry and Charlie Rangel after they have been caught red-handed cheating taxpayers.
---
L-E story: "WASHINGTON — The nation’s largest banks have an obligation to pay some of the cost for bailing out mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because they sold them bad mortgages, a government regulator said Wednesday" -- ARRGGGHHHH! Aside from the 100's of Billions for the 'bailout' the Feds has given banks, and the recent $30,000,000,000.00 more potUS Imam-a just gave banks, now the government wants the banks to give it back to bailout Freddie Mae & Freddie Mac! Is there anyone working for the government who actually knows what they are doing?
---

Online headline/story: "Senate Overcomes GOP Filibuster of Small-Businesses Bill * The bill would create a $30 billion fund that community banks can access for loans to small businesses and provides some $12 billion in tax relief -- both in the name of getting small and midsize companies to hire more workers." -- Doh? Isn't one of the problems is that banks are sitting on their cash rather than loaning it out? All this would do would be to distribute more money the giver-mint doesn't have to banks which will add more 'padding' to sit on.
---
Online headline: "Obama to Publish Children's Book of Great Americans" -- That'll be like him writing a book about his acting skill named, "Emotions from A-to-B". Of course, it will be 'ghost written' like his speeches.... only shorter.
---
Online headline/story: "FCC's Super Wi-Fi Spectrum Plan Has Big Potential" * The 'spectrum'- which is unlicensed and available for anyone to use -- is considered valuable because it can travel longer than Wi-Fi and penetrate structures. -- Don't you know the sales of aluminum foil to make head covers for conspiracy buffs will soar!
---
Gold hit another new high yesterday...$1270.00 per ounce. Bet there are a lot of folks looking at Glenn Beck as another type of visionist today.
---
L-E headline/story: "Councilor Anthony backs off suggestion to drop lawsuits against online hotel companies * Anthony claimed the city didn’t get 75 percent of the $450,000 settlement in the latest lawsuit. In that settlement, City Attorney Clifton Fay said the city received $230,000 and the lawyers were given $220,000 for expenses they incurred over a four-year period. * “The taxpayers paid zero,” Fay said." -- That's government thinking at its best? The taxpayers paid plenty because travelers were diverted to other locations, and didn't spend their money here, and since Mother Teresa Obamalinson's husband got paid for that, you can say the taxpayers are funding her campaign.
---
L-E story: "Philip Thomas Schley Jr., a Muscogee County school teacher and son of school board chairman Dr. Philip Schley, died Tuesday from post-surgical complications.
-- With all sympathy for the Schley family, I do wonder why the L-E didn't name the hospital or mention staph infection...
---

L-E headline: "Columbus Councilors still unhappy with design for new city service center * Architect presents 3 new designs of entrance to council" -- What Coincil should be looking at is another architectural firm with other ideas. Lets face it, the combination of the MCSD building, the Library, and the proposed City Services building don't even look like they belong in the same city, much less the same acreage.
---
L-E story: "A group of about 16 black religious leaders called on Columbus Council and Mayor Jim Wetherington to put the police investigation of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department in the hands of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. " -- Well, I partially agree, but let CPD finish here then give it to the GBI to go after the East Marietta cohorts!
---
From the "have you enough already" department - From a fellow BCer: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/75198 - (CNSNews.com) – The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus (a.k.a. "stim-YOU-LIE") funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex. -- What I would say would melt your earwax...

---

Someone asked if I mistrusted potUS Imam-a...after a couple of seconds to think about, I said , "No!". I inexplicitly trust potUS Imam-a to do exactly what he's said he wants to do to this country, and that's why I do not like him as our President.
---
WTVM9 headline: "Another public hearing on proposed precinct consolidation" -- If the Board of Elections approved this in March, and the Department of Justice has approved it, too, why are we still wasting time and money on another hearing?
---
Online headline: "Iran releases jailed American hiker" -- Guess Iran heard Cuzzin Jimmy was going to request a meeting, and Ahmandine-JIHAD decided he didn't want to waste his time.
---
Online headline: "Obama Says No to Solar Panels on White House Roof" -- Don't let any one ever tell you I didn't agree with potUS Imam-a on something! It is going to be fun watching him stammer explaining his decision to the extreme left-wing 'greenies' and Algore.
---
New rumor: Government Motors is buying time on "the Simpson'" and Homer will be driving the new Chevy electric car, but it will be called the "Doh!"
---
Online headline: "(US Senator) Sherrod Brown Urges NFL to End TV Blackout Policy Given Tough Economy" -- Hmmm...Senator Brown doesn't identify his party affiliation on his web site, so he must be a DIM/DUMBorat and not polling well for re-election, but this is what's WRONG with our Congress., Congress is going after Roger Clemens for lying to them as we go after Congress for lying to US,m and now another troubled official wants to distract voters from serious ills tha have affected ticket sales of NFL games by going after the NFL. Congressman, heal thyself!
---
Online headline: "Scandal-Ridden Bell, Calif., Forced to Refund Taxes" -- Hmmm...scandal-ridden Muscogee County should be next to do so!
---
From the "what's he possibly thinking" department: potUS Imam-a skipped the "National Day of Prayer" and then "Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery"; guess we should anticipate potUS Imam-a's next public appearance will be at the ribbon cutting of the Hamas-que at "Ground Zero".
---
Like the Heath Jackson murder, the Dewayne Hatchett murder gets more senseless with the release of more information, but lets face, he did not leave a 1 year old baby 'fatherless'; he was 18, and irresponsible. The baby was already fatherless.
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “A generation which ignores history has no past — and no future.” — Robert A. Heinlein, American science-fiction author (1907-1988). " -- Amen! And when coupled with liberal revisionist history, even the recorded past has no future.
---
The "O's" are proud of Bill Ploeger!
---
L-E headline: "Bush gives back his Heisman " -- Ooops, my bad! Just felt it was another potUS Imam-a finger-pointing attack on the previous administration.
---
L-E's "Business Section" " TODAY’S QUOTE: “We were just real impressed with the activity and the overall excitement and enthusiasm of the downtown area.” Keith Schilleci, president of Momma new restaurant G’s Inc" -- Another "Ooops!" as he's already off to a bad start with the UPtown Columbus office.

Have you read the story on the "Atlanta Black Crackers" traveling youth baseball team? How did 'crack reporter Ben Wright (a.k.a. "Hasn't Ben Wright) miss/leave out that the coach, Eric Anthony was a former Astro's player, and suited up in Columbus as a Columbus Mudcat? Welcome back Eric!

The Breakfast Club - September 14, 2010

Imam Rauf.... when you think about it, do you remember your youth and college days when you went to a keg or rum punch party, had imbibed way too much, and spent an eternity poised on your knees while you hovered over the porcelain throne calling out for your friend, "R-A-A-U-U-U-F-F-F-F"?

The University of Baltimore is using tax and parent provided dollars to teach a course about Zombies. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the professor is a former ACORN voter registration employee trying to sign up new 'dead' people.
---
Only a true liberal can get excited about selling high tech military jets to Saudi Arabia. Looks like there was more to 'the bow' than potUS Imam-a is letting on.
---
Abraham Lincoln once described this nation as "of the people, by the people, for the people"; potUS Imama-a and his minions obviously think of it as "buy the people" using earmarks and entitlements.

Online headline: "Family of US Hiker Can't Afford Bail Demanded by Iran" -- Ooh, ooh, I know! Lets send Jimmy Carter or Algore over in trade!!!
---
Who was the CB&T entity who opened the Parks&Rec slush fund account and allowed the abuse of the city tax free number without documentation from a proper city official? Hope CB&T cooperates fully..
---
I expressed wonderment at why the CPD doesn't have a daily updated crime map posted online at the Government website. One BCer says he hears that discussion of such is vacillating over the $1,000,000.00 cost of software (aside from the fact the Public Safety "LOST" revenues would be more appropriately used for this than on recreation fluff), but how much (as in really how little) would it cost to post a downloadable high def '.jpg' pin map image along with a 'pin color legend' and a '.PDF' daily or weekly list of new reports on the governments website that every concerned citizen could access?
---
Online headline: "Rush Limbaugh Never Let On He Went to School With Pastor Jones" -- Well, seeing how Rush didn't date the guy, what's the issue. Let's not forget this same media has no idea of who potUS Imam-a went to school with, but they wouldn't reveal such info if they did know...
---
News Flash! Rumor has it that ABC just announced its Election 2010 team for November 2, 2010. Ty Pennington is rumored to be the anchor, and it will be called, "Election 2010, Extreme HOUSE Makeover. It's also rumored he has an option to do the 2012 elections, and it will be called "Extreme WHITE HOUSE Makeover.

Congress has fallen prey to its own greed. How can Congress reduce government spending when it still accepts its annual salary increase, without out even voting on it, no matter what kind of year the American taxpayers have experienced, and regardless of how poor a job Congress has done in managing our tax dollars?
---
Why are mayoral candidates even asked questions about school programs for art and recreation? Those are questions for the folks running for the MCSD board slots.
---
L-E headline: "Muscogee County school superintendent wants to add assistant principals at several schools" -- What is it with school administrations? Revenues are tough, jobs are tough, and she wants to spend more money outside the classroom. I remember the outrage I felt when I went to my niece's 1995 graduation from Hardaway High and listed on the program was that Hardaway had a vice-principal for each class year plus 5 full and 1 part time counselors for about 1000 students. 30 years before that (Class of 65), CHS had a principal, a dean of girls, a dean of boys, and a counselor for more than twice as many students, and I'll bet today, that the CHS '65 SAT's were higher than the HHS '95's.
---
If the question is whether to let a tax bill expire or not, how can you 'cherry pick' parts of it rather than use a take-all-or-nothing approach? Dissecting the bill is a totally different thing than letting it expire or not.
---
L-E story: " HAVANA — Cuba announced Monday it will cast off at least half a million state employees by mid-2011 and reduce restrictions on private enterprise to help them find new jobs" -- Man, does this blow-out the theory of communism being a workable form of government, or what. potUS Imam-a better rewrite his game plan, too!
---
You know, every time potUS Imam-a points a 'finger-of-blame' at Bush/Republicans, what he's actually highlighting is that he's not capable/able to fix the things he campaigned on to get the job. Some one should send him a game of "Clue".. so he could honestly say he has a clue.
---
Every time potUS Imam-a goes on TV to announce he has a 'new plan' , it only emphasizes he had a plan to begin with that didn't work.

Online story: " They haven't glimpsed daylight or a puffed on a cigarette in more than a month. But now Chilean authorities have declared that the 33 men trapped underground at a mine in the north of the country will finally be allowed to light up." -- If 33 men hadn't 'lit up' in a month, why would you want to send them some now? More than a month constitutes a rehab period and said smokers should be detoxed, and in confined areas, why would you want them smoking when others do not? Liberals...you can't live with them and you can't .....
---
Can a politician lay claim to being a true Christian when he usurps other people's tax dollars for his or his family's personal gain? Shame on Sanford Bishop.
---
While the "crime map" offered by the L-E is better than nothing, it's data is months behind. Why doesn't the CPD offer a web site with an up-to-date 'pin map' of reported/confirmed crimes so we can see up-to-date information on what neighborhoods are being targeted by criminals.
---
While it's 'nice' to see Amnesty International concerned about Iraqi prison situations, where was Amnesty International when Saddam Hussein was slowly feeding 'prisoners' into large wood chippers?

From Kathleen Parker's ramblings: " Speaking to Laborfest in Milwaukee, Obama referred to “the Republican who thinks he’s going to take over as speaker … I’m just saying, that’s his opinion.” His shirt sleeves rolled up as workingman politicos always do, Obama all but said: “Pay no attention to the man with the fake tan.” -- potUS Imam-a should be cuddling up to Boehner...after all, Boehner may be paying that discriminatory tax on his 'fake tan'.

L-E story: "WASHINGTON— Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is shepherding Mideast talks this week that she says may be the last chance for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. " What gall! The Palestinians' definition of peace means the Israelites are eliminated from existence.

The Breakfast Club - September 12, 2010

Online headline: "The cooling of tropical Pacific waters could lead to avalanches in Northwest and bring strange weather across U.S." -- Hmmm....where's Algore?
---
Online headline: "Is the Democratic Party Doomed?" -- Hmmmm...don't you recall this was the same question (though made as a statement) asked/associated with the Republican Party in November of 2008? Guess 2 years of liberals having to live with what they wished for has changed a few minds.
---
L-E story on Parks & Rec update: " (Tony) Adams, 47, and (Herman) Porter, 41, funneled more than $200,000 to a private account that should have gone to the city, according to police." -- Mere pikers! The mayor wants to 'funnel' millions of Public Safety "LOST" funds into Parks & Recreation; good money after bad!
---
Kudos for the "Atlanta Black Crackers"! It's time to take a swing at "political correctness" so progress can be made in racial evolvement . Please note the team is not segregated.
---
L-E headline: "Obama cites national unity after Sept. 11 attacks" -- Well, that's what the majority of Americans want. The question is when will potUS Imam-a join with us?
---
I cannot get away from potUS Imam-a's self-description of Republican's treating him like a dog... potUS Imam-a's dog Bo was flown to vacation in a private Gulfstream jet along with the dog's handler (who 'earns'...well is paid over $100,000.00 a year) because their wasn't enough room on Air Force 1 for the dog. If Republicans treated potUS Imam-a like that, we should get rid of Republicans, too!
---
Did anyone see if Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf made it to the Ground Zero ceremony yesterday morning?
---
From a fellow BCer: :Eyeblast.tv: AFL-CIO Leader Richard Trumka spoke to the Labor Caucus at the California Democratic Convention in Los Angeles in April 2010. While speaking, he sang praises of Nancy Pelosi to applause, and uses Obamacare to drive his point home, saying "we drove it down the Republicans throats."

What is it with government? Last month in another part of the country, a kid's lemonade stand was shut down by a government agency, and right here in Columbus, churches cannot have 'bake sales' by members its members because the church kitchen doesn't have a restaurant licence, and recently vendors at the UPtown Saturday morning "Market Days" were shut down by the GA Department of Agriculture, yet, as I strolled through a Broadway restaurant's outdoors cafe this week, a full complement of compliments was arranged on the table in 95+ degree weather and in full exposure to the sun. Included in the array was a plastic squeeze bottle of mayonnaise which is the number 1 cause of picnic foods going bad. I didn't see any health department or Department of Agriculture officials riding heard on Cannon Brew Pub.

---

From a fellow BCer: " "Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens." Ben Stein" -- This is not hypocrisy; it is insane!
---
If potUS Imam-a is for building the Hamas-que because "we are a nation of laws", why didn't he make sure Auntie Zeituni was deported back to Kenya on those same laws?
---
L-E headline: "Obama says OK to call his new plan a stimulus bill" -- Yeah, instead of calling it what it really is...."stim-YOU-LIE 2".
---
From L-E story: "“I am running for mayor because I believe Columbus needs a fresh vision,” she (Teresa Obamalinson) said." -- Dang, while she doesn't look like him, she sure sounds like him. Guess we can soon expect her to say how great Columbus is, but then ask us to help her change it.
---
Online headline: "Obama Names New Chief Economic Advisor" -- Houdini? Copperfield? It will take a magician trained in sleight of hand tactics to make this economy stable.
---
L-E headline: "Official: Parks and Rec board ‘dysfunctional’ for years " -- Seems Council and Mayor, too, were as dysfunctional by not demanding accountability and meeting minutes that are required.
---
I wish "Honor Flight" had been organized before my Dad died. What a gift!
---
L-E "soundoff": "If extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy will create jobs, why aren’t those tax cuts currently in effect creating jobs now?" -- Obviously a DIM/DUMBorat. Guess he hasn't seen how most new jobs created have been government jobs paid for by the taxes the government collects, and now wants to raise so the government can fund those jobs for perpetually.
---
I hope everyone flew an American flag yesterday at their homes, but if you didn't you are fortunately in questionably good company. Two of my neighbors are retired generals, and neither had a flag flying on their homes. What was really even sadder is that 1 of them is in charge of the National Museum at Ft Benning. Shame!
---
More 'throw up' from Froma Harrop: " Americans generally don’t like class warfare. Labeling any tax increase for upper incomes as such is a time-honored way to bully the public into silence. Actually, it’s not too much to ask the top sliver — whose wealth is running away from that of even ordinary millionaires — to do more to contain our soaring deficits." -- As much as I hate the word "stupid", there are times it is the only word to describe some people, ideas, and concepts. Froma Harrop is stupid, Froms Harrop's ideas are stupid, and Froma Harrop's concepts are stupid! Why does she (and every other uber-liberal think the top 1% of wealth should be responsible for reducing the debt that government has caused by not staying within its budgets (even if government confiscated the 1%'s entire wealth, it would hardly dent the deficit)? That 1% did not cause the deficit; government leaders cause deficits. Let's hold government leaders responsible!
-------------------------------------------

The Breakfast Club - September 11, 2010

Please find a few moments to remember and reflect on the terrorist attack on America 9 years ago. Never forget!
---
Online headline: "Meet Austan Goolsbee, Obama's Hilarious New Economic Chair" -- What a match; a comedian to head the joke of an economic disaster. Wonder if potUS Imam-a will appoint Alfred E. "What, me worry?" Neuman as next Chief of Staff?
---
While I personally believe the press coverage of the Florida pastor of a church of less than 50 was not only blown out of proportion, it was done so as a condemnation of Christians in general by our press and current administration. On the other hand. these are snippets from google-able online stories concerning how the Bible is received in Muslim countries:

"The Taliban later claimed it had killed them (8 missionaries) because they were in possession of Bibles translated into Dari, the local language."
-
"What happens to the Bibles confiscated by the Saudi government? According to sources, the Bibles are shredded. People caught inside Saudi Arabia who have more than one Bible, arrested. The penalty, lashing. Saudi Arabia ruled by Shariah law, laws based on the interpretation of the Koran. The outrage from the Obama administration on the issue of the Saudi government confiscating Bibles owned by Christians, people arrested then sentenced to a public lashing: Zero, zilch, nada. "
-
"The public practice of any form of religion other than Islam is not permitted; nor is an intention to convert others. The Saudi authorities do accept the private practice of religions other than Islam, and you are only allowed to bring a Bible into the country as long as it is for your personal use. However, importing larger quantities can carry severe penalties as it will be viewed that it is your intention to convert others."
---
Online headline: "Obama: Give Democrats Time to Fix the Economy" -- Yeah, they have such a good track record...NOT! Hurry November!
---
Online headline: "Unusual Vending Machines Coming to Pennsylvania" -- Ooops, my bad! Thought the DIM/DUMBorat had figured out a new way to buy more votes.
---
L-E headline: "Records show Bishop gave Black Caucus scholarships to relatives" -- Hmm.''' not too long ago it was revealed that Bishop had directed a large donation to the "Junior Marshals" program which, in turn, had hired his stepdaughter and her husband and neuther even lived in Columbus. Maybe Bishop needs to be moved up the ethics ladder investigation list just behind Charlie Rangel.
---
The fact that Heath Jackson's murderer was not in jail for missing two court dates is proof enough that the Public Safety "LOST" revenues should be spent on more police officers and more jail space rather than recreation projects. Strozier should not even have been on the streets, and that, my friends, is how you prevent crimes!!!
---
The recent influx of murders should be a clue as to how the Public Safety 'LOST' 'slush fund' revenues should be used. Rather than spending them on recreation projects, lets put even more police officers on the street, and expand our jails to accommodate the criminals so early release programs can be stopped. Besides, Parks & Recreation members created their own 'slush fund', and we know how that was abused.
---
L-E story: "Funding for the final leg of the (Columbus Fall Line Trace - a.k.a. bike trail) project came together after the city spent only half of a $1.2 million budget for phase two, from Columbus State University to Cooper Creek Park. Combined with federal stimulus funds and a High Priority Project Grant from U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop Jr., the city can fund the $1.5 million projected bid." -- Another Bishop "donation"; which of his relatives will get the job taking care of it?
---
L-E's "Thought for Today, “This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.” — Elmer Davis, American news commentator (1890-1958). " -- Thank heavens for the T.E.A Party movement!
---
Even when potUS Imam-a leaves the press meeting podium, he heads off to the left.
---
L-E headline/story: "Castro claims he was misinterpreted on Cuba’s economy *
Says he meant opposite of what American reporter thought * Goldberg wrote Wednesday that during three days of interviews with Castro in Havana last month, he asked the former leader over lunch and wine if Cuba’s communist system was still worth exporting to other countries. He said Castro replied:“The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore.” -- Don't you wonder how many liberals have considered suicide recently?
---
A group dressed in military uniforms cuffed themselves to the White House fence in protest of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. It was strange that they did so in a boy-girl-boy-girl fashion; wouldn't it have been more effective if they aligned themselves girl-girl-boy-boy?
---
With Federal judges making up their own Constitutional rulings, how can anyone feel safe that Gitmo terrorists should be tried in Federal courts?
---
You know, I have to wonder if potUS Imam-a used a TelePrompTer when he asked Michelle to marry him?
-------------------------------

The Breakfast Club - September 10, 2010

Whether it actually happens is not so much the question as is would the media, would potUS Imam-a be as upset if a Muslim Imam announced he was going to burn Bibles at Ground Zero?
---
I'll be... "the Donald" has TRUMPED Hamas-que 'investor' Hisham Elzanaty. Elzanaty has been claiming that his involvement in the Hamas-que was purely a business investment, and had hinted he would like to recoup his 'investment', but turned down Trump's offer of the principal plus 25%.
---
Online story: "Cotton prices have nearly doubled this year, hitting a near 15-year high following a chain of events among major Asian cotton producers that has choked off global supply." -- Hmmm, and administration minions and other government officials are out trying to squelch any rumors, imagined or otherwise, of hyper-inflation. Wonder what Social Security will use as an excuse not to raise SS checks next year?
---
potUS Imam-a was on the non-Fox channels saying that if the November elections 'are about the economy, DIM/DUMBorats will suffer. "IF"? It is all about the economy, the potUS Imam-a economy, and no matter how long and hard potUS Imam-a points his finger at Bush, the public knows this is Imam-a's 'economy'.
---
Guess Auburn is having financial troubles/cutbacks. Last night, the QB and a defensive back swapped out wearing jersey # 2 all night.
---
Speaking of jerseys: Hmmm, wonder if a sports agent would give $1,000.00 for the UGA replica jersey with the number 8 on it?
---
Have you noticed all the latest cell phone ads? None of them talk about talking.
---
Thursday's L-E "Cryptoquote" was a quote of Martin Luther King, Jr, "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirts for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.". Ehen was the last time you saw Al Sharpton speak with anything but venom?
---
"Carp Csar"... potUS Imam-a has appointed a "Carp Csar"? Looks suspiciously like "Crap Tsar" to me, but I thought that was Robert Gibbs' job.
---
L-E Online headline: "President Obama speaks against burning of Koran, says it could lead to suicide bombings" -- Well, well, it seems someone has finally gotten potUS Imam-a's attention, and now that's potUS Imam-a's on board, maybe he'll actually address the borders where illegal, suicide-carrying, aliens cross into our country!
---
So there may not be a Quran/Koran burning.. what did potUS Imam-a do, call for a 'bier summit'?
---
Stocks rose on job figure numbers? Let me get this straight....first time unemployment numbers dropped 27,000 to a rate that's still in excess of 1.5 Million a month, and that's good news?
---
If you thought you knew our history, you need to watch this. Special thanks to a fellow BCer:
YouTube - U.S. Capitol Tour with David Barton
---
Today is Bill O'Reilly's birthday. With all the make-up specialists at his beck & call on his 'set', would you believe he's only 61? I guessed 80.
---
L-E story: "RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A federal judge on Thursday declared the U.S. military’s ban on openly gay service members unconstitutional " -- This is another 'only in California' moment; once again our Constitution is not the one judges read in California.
---
Online headline/story: "Study: Australia, New Zealand Most Charitable Nations * Australia and New Zealand top a "world giving index" in a new charitable behavior study that finds happier people are more likely to give money than wealthy folks." -- Well, seems the wealthy in this country are giving more to get rid of the current elected House/Senate so everyone can be happier' but next year, America will be #1 again, and we'll soar in 2013!
---
From above story: "The study also found that 60 percent of Americans had given money to charity and 39 percent had volunteered time. The two countries with the largest populations, however, scored low: China came in 147th and India 134th. Madagascar landed in the bottom spot." -- Well, since less that half of Americans actually work for the bulk of their income, 60% is excellent since the working minority is having to pay to unseat the elected officials who bribe the majority with entitlement programs.
------------------------------------------

The Breakfast Club - September 9, 2010

I'm mad right now. Mad that our justice system does not push for speedier completions of death sentences when dispensed. Speedier completion will make the death sentence more of a 'let-me-think-about-what-I'm-doing-before-I-actually-do-it' consequence than these 20-25 year appeal times. Give convicted death sentence criminals a fast-track 2 year period for all appeals and challenges, and if it hasn't materialized, pull the switch, push in the plunger or whatever it takes to get justice carried out. Allowing prisoners to die of old age and natural causes waiting to exhaust appeals is not justice.
---
Well, they caught the murderer of Heath Jackson yesterday; if they put him to death later on today, it won't be soon enough.
---
Remember when serving on the MCSD Board meant the only thing you had to gain was the respect of the community's taxpayers? I miss that, don't you?
---
From L-E story: "(Their lawyer) said the only assets the Bleckleys have is their property, saying all their money was invested in their enterprise. “Everybody lost money,” he said. “Nobody ended up with any money." -- Bet that's not 100% true, is it Mr. "I-get-mine-up-front' Lawyer?
---
Online headline: "Fed Sees a Slowing But Growing Economy" -- Wrong! What the dyslexic headline writer meant was, "Slowing Economy Sees a Growing Fed"!
---
Online headline: "Obama: Slow Growth Beats Return to 'Republican' Recession" -- Oh, the one caused by Dodd & Frank's handling of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac plus the DIM/DUMB take-over of the House in 2006? No, potUS Imam-a, when you point your finger of blame into the mirror of life, you're pointing at yourself.
---
Online news story: "Mexico has long rejected allowing U.S. troops on its soil, except for a single symbolic presence: Mexico's Senate has authorized a U.S. detachment to march in next week's Bicentennial parade." -- You mean potUS Imam-a will send more US troops to a Mexican parade than he will authorize to patrol the Mexican border...?
---
Online headline: "Detroit Mayor Calls Fires a 'Natural Disaster' -- Truth be know, it's more like Detroit is a natural DIM/DUMB disaster.
---
Great new bumper sticker I saw: " Pray, Vote, Pray"
---
You know, "DIM/DUMBorats" is not strong enough as a description of the leftist regime now in power, but "STUPIDrats" doesn't have a clever ring to it. Any suggestions?
---
Example of what I mean above: How does extending the Bush Tax-cuts put "more money" into the economy if less people are working and those working are not earning more in salaries?
---
Hmmm, so Rahm Emanuel is considering a run for the Mayor of Chicago. What are the residency requirements to be a Chicago Mayor? Rahm-bo is not serving in Washington as an elected official, he's working and living in Washington because he accepted a job there.
---
From the L-E's "On this date" section: "In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law the first civil rights bill to pass Congress since Reconstruction." -- Hmmm. lets see...I do remember POTUS Eisenhower was a Republican... Hmm, how can that be.
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.” — Helen Rowland, American writer, journalist and humorist (1876-1950)." -- Can you imagine what would have happened if a man had quoted this?
---
Can you believe the amount of publicity and celebrity posturing that a pastor of a church of 50 members has caused by implying he wants to burn a book?
---
L-E "soundoff": "Party affiliation for mayoral candidates has been pretty clear-cut. Zeph and Wayne are both Republicans, Teresa Tomlinson is as independent as they come, and nobody is quite sure what Paul Olson is. " -- Obviously, this was a press release by someone with the DIM/DUMBorats trying to cut ties with the current President. All one must do to find Mother Teresa Obamalinson's party affiliation is check her campaign donations. Do believe she gave $4,600.00 (max) to elect potUS Imam-a.
---
Is it ironic or what, but the 'new' ice rink is beginning to look a lot like the barn building we tore down to build the current CivicCenter.
---
Other than offer condolences to relatives of Judy F. Brouillette, I usually wouldn't bother to air her 'concepts of thought', but this is too rich to pass. In a letter today, she writes. " In June the Senate voted 61 to 35 to overturn a proposal limiting this corporate welfare. Every single Republican voted to kill the bill, and even 21 Democrats chose to side with Big Oil, instead of with our citizens. There is absolutely no excuse for extending preferential treatment to corporations which discharge American workers, send jobs overseas, and dodge taxes by using a counterfeit offshore address. " -- Is she trying to say that there are only 14 Republicans in the Senate or that there are 82 DIM/DUMBorat Senators, or is she stating that if you don't agree with her, then you are not an American citizen?? Before long, even the L-E should become too embarrassed to publish her....Post Note: Even the spell checker agrees with me; two of the suggested replacements for her name are Braille and Toilet....
----------------------------------------------------------

The Breakfast Club - September 8, 2010

Recent poll on the way potUS Imam-a is handling the economy: "CNN: Fifty-nine percent disapprove while 40 percent approve, Obama's worst marks in this poll dating back to March 2009." -- Guess even Chris Matthews leg has lost its tingle.
---
Anyone who thinks the $50 BILLION potUS Imam-a wants to throw into 'infrastructure projects' just doesn't understand how much it will cost him/her peresonally.
---
Heath Jackson... Another senseless murder that would not have been prevented by any Parks & Recreation Program envisioned by the Mayor. Shut down the 'feel good' Crime Prevention Program, and use the Public Safety "LOST" revenues to hire 100 or 200 more police officers, and double the capacity of our jails. We need crime prevention and containment, not temporary diversions!
---
Outside of potUS Imam-a's failure and finger pointing, the saddest aspect of his Labor Day speech to his union supporters was how he talked down to them in seeking their continued support.
---
Online headline: "Detroit Tops List of Most Stressed Cities in US" -- Every other big city headed by a DIM/DUMBorat mayor tied for a close second place.
---
I've come to the conclusion that I do not care what foreign governments think about the US. We are the best (even with potUS Imam'a trying to dismantle us) country in the world, and other countries can either try to stay on our good side, or they can go fly a kite! France would be speaking German without our grandfathers and fathers, and if that's not good enough reason for the French government and media, tough luck! Same goes for countries that want to eliminate Israel; Israel is our friend, and we stand beside our friends!
---
On the subject matter of potUS Imam-a pulling the last combat troops out of Iraq: This is from one of the best men I know, and who just returned from Iraq in June. --
"It's not just a name change as much as it is a mission change. Or even better it's a "mind set" change. All Soldiers are "combat troopers". It's the way we are built and trained. However if we don't advise and assist the Iraqi Army then we will really never get out of there completely. Yes the media is eating it up and there are a lot of people who don't understand the mechanics of it all. We do things by phases in the Army and this is just a phase of the operation to pull off the objective. No doubt that Soldier are still risking their lives on a daily basis in Iraq. We as Americans just need to keep leaning forward in the foxhole and see this thing through. You know I've been an advisor to the Iraqi Army. They are great people and we just need to have their backs as they make history as a democratic government in the heart of the middle east. Just my thoughts." -- Thanks, Major, for all you do for all of us...from all of us.
---
potUS Imam-a said it is the Republican proposals that are causing all our economic woes... Excuse me, Mr President, but it's "ACTIONS" not 'proposals' that determine results. and Mr President, we are suffering under YOUR actions!
---
My advice for potUS Imam-a is for you to BE presidential. ACTING like one doesn't work, especially if you are a bad actor who has to read your lines off a TelePrompTer!
---
L-E headline: "Kia’s top exec resigns after recalls" -- Whoa! Since potUS Imam-a tries to emulate foreign concepts of life for US, do you think we have a chance he'll do the same when the Chevy Volt is recalled?
---
Online headline: "Will Obama's Spending Plan Boost the Economy?" -- See! The liberal media is turning on potUS Imam-a, too. Last year this same headline would have read, "Obama's Spending Plan WILL Boost the Economy".
---
A L-E "soundoff": "Isn’t it strange that no Biblical Christians will speak out against Las Vegas, the infamous “sin city"?" -- Well, well...some liberal agnostic has finally pinpointed the obvious...potUS Imam-a's multiple pleas for people to avoid Las Vegas just confirmed what the rest of us suspected.
---
L-E headline: "Obama to mark anniversary of 9/11 attacks at Pentagon " -- The Pentagon has a mosque on premise?
-------------------------------------------------------

The Breakfast Club - September 7, 2010

Do you realize tha 1000's of children are going to school for the first time in the 2010-11 school year today, while all of Muscogee County children (except for the Northern LL All-Stars) have been going for 4 sweltering weeks here in the MCSD?
---
Online story: "Terry Jones, the pastor at Dove World Outreach Center, told MSNBC's Chris Matthews that his church has declared Sept. 11 as "International Burn a Quran Day," and added that he hoped the burning of the Muslim religion's holy text "will be as it is intended, as a warning. * That the proposed actions of Jones' church, which counts just 50 members in its congregation, should reverberate so loudly across the world is itself a telling sign of tensions between the West and the Muslim world, as well as what some see as a growing distrust of Islam in the United States." -- I'm amazed that a group of 50 could get the media attention so that the world (and me) are even discussing this. Now, this is a 'church' that should have its IRS status revoked.
---
potUS Imam-a claims the Republicans treat worse than a dog... What kind of dog. potUS Imam-a, a yellow dog DIM/DUMBorat socialist, or a blue dog DIM/DUMBorat elitist socialist, or like 'Bo', your dog who, if he can;t ride in Air Force 1, gets his own private jet?
---
Watched a video of illegal aliens easily climbing over a seemingly imposing fence on our border. It raised two questions: Why were foot and hand holds 'designed' into the fence, and why isn't some sort of low voltage electric charge sent through that fence?
---
One of my observations about whether the economy is improving or not is the flow of semis going into and leaving Atlanta on I-85. Drove through there this weekend and the roads are still sparse of commerce.
---
L-E story: "The Chambers County Sheriff's Office will conduct a funeral for Kilo, the department's K-9 on Tuesday. * The service will be at 4:30 p.m. at the Chambers County Agricultural Park and Rodeo Arena which is located in LaFayette, Ala. on Highway 431." -- Excuse me; I love dogs, but don't tell me our Public Safety is going to send a caravan of police officers to attend the funeral of a dog, but that's not my beef. Why is the L-E carrying a story of a dog's funeral when the L-E consistently fails to notify the public upon the death of Columbus citizens who spent a lifetime making this city a better place to live for all?
---
From the 'only in California' department: News is so warped in LA that they use helicopters to cover dogs running on a freeway. Who are they trying to find.. Michael Vick in pursuit?
---
Phenomenal! Once again a fellow BCer has brought to light something that all we enjoy and be amazed. Google "Army-Navy jump rope dance" and be prepared for an unbelievable 8 minute display of athleticism. stamina, and talent. Pass this along to your children and grandchildren!
---
Observing video clips of the 25-30 National Guardsmen potUS Imam-a has ordered to the Arizona/Mexico border, it looks like all 25-30 are patrolling the same one block area. Guess Imam-a will be counting this as a "win", but will the NG still be there in two weeks when the cameras leave?
---
What is the reason that federal construction contracts require salaries be comparable with union levels? All it has done is 'outsource' the jobs to illegal aliens who have crossed our border to land the jobs.
---
Should Mother Teresa Obamalinson become our next mayor, she'd be a visual improvement over any previous mayor, but I sure can't imagine letting her get her hands on out 2 "LOST" slush funds. The Parks & Rec slush fund would be small potatoes in comparison. You know, after thinking about her attempt to get a referendum passed to 'allow' housing and infrastructure to be paid for by tax dollars in blighted neighborhoods, I can imagine what she'd do with the Public Safety/Infrastructure slush funds, and it scares me.
---
Have you seen the TV ad for Viagra where it ends with a caption "See our ad in Golf Magazine"? If Viagra is going to claim 'you can hit it harder and farther', sales should soar; even if Viagra says it only makes it easier 'to tee up', sales should improve.
---
Online headline/story: "US Forces Drawn Into Fighting Baghdad Battle * Two of the four attackers even managed to fight their way inside the compound and were only killed after running out of ammunition and detonating explosives belts they were wearing."Hmm.. ..Obviously the Taliban didn't watch "The Roy Rogers Show". Remember when the 'bad guys' ran out of ammo, they threw their guns at Roy, and Roy holstered his so he could fight them hand-to-hand. Even then, something told me that wasn't very realistic.
---
Some reports state that illegal immigration at the Mexican border has dropped. If that doesn't send a sharp message to potUS Imam-a that the job market is not improving then nothing will.
---
In his Saturday 'fireside chat', potUS Imam-a said he finally realized that he needed to work on the economy. If he listened to Fox News early on rather than his sycophant staff, he could have gotten onto this wagon 18 months ago. Now if he'll keep listening to Fox, he might learn how to do something about it!
---
Online headline: "Serial Killer Action Figure at Toys R Us Stirs Debate" -- Debate? How about 'boycott'!
---
A story in the L-E concerning a separate survey (fineable if you don't comply) being sent out by the US Census 'authority' inclides a question about 'income'. Now that's a job for the IRS, not the Census Bureau!
---
L-E's "Thought for Today, “Nothing is more unpleasant than a virtuous person with a mean mind.” — Walter Bagehot (BAJ’-uht), English editor and economist (1826-1877)." -- Boy have times changed! I can think of two biggies off the bat: A DIM/DUMBorat voting on moral rights, and a news journalist injecting his bias as fact.
---
L-E headline/story: " Free Wednesday admissions to state parks may come to an end * ATHENS, Ga. — Budget trouble could mean the end of free Wednesday admission to Georgia’s state parks. * The perk allows visitors to skip the $5 admission fee, which costs the Department of Natural Resources about $400,000 annually." -- Hmmm..typical government thinking...scratch that...government 'feeling'. Is the government implying that a program that attracts 80,000 people to the parks that otherwise might not go is a bad thing, or does the government not capitalize on 80,000 people having money in their pockets to purchase concessions/snacks while at the parks?
---
C.L. Martin, Columbus, wrote in today's L-E: "Glenn Beck’s rally for old, angry, and ignorant white people seems to have been as successful as months of free promoting on Fox could have made it. For the rest of us, perhaps some perspective is in order." -- If C L Martin had written , "(fill in a name)'s rally for old. angry, and ignorant (fill in a color other than white) people", would the L-E have printed it?
---
Need another sure fire economic indicator? You only have to compare the number of pages in the L-E Tuesday Foreclosure to the number of pages in "Sports".

potUS Imam-a is out promoting his aimless spending bill "as not another 'stim-YOU-LIE' bill. For once, he's actually telling the truth....it's exactly like the first one, and it certainly was no 'stimulus'!
---
From the 'it's not one world' department: " Camel fighting is a popular sport in Afghanistan." -- What do you say, PETA?
---
Another online story that should excite PETA: "For centuries, horseman in the Spanish village of San Bartolome de Pinares, have been jumping over bonfires in celebration of the celebrations for the feast of Saint Anthony, patron saint of animals. -- PETA doesn't like to leave the 'creature comforts' of home.
---
Oh! Found something! Online story: "BRADFORD, United Kingdom (Sept. 5) – Animal welfare groups are accusing Britain's Prince Harry of animal cruelty after he continued to play in a polo game after his horse was allegedly wounded by spikes on the royal's riding spurs. -- I see, if an animal is injured in 'polo', PETA will be there. That's pathetic!
---
First Baptist use to have young soldiers in on periodic Saturdays as invited guests to share time with them, provide food and beverages, access to cell phones and computers that they had been denied use of during their basic training. Key words are "use to". First Baptist had to stop opening itsn doors because First Baptist is a church. Under potUS Imam-a, soldiers cannot visit or speak at churches or church functions. What's that claim that potUS Imam-a is a dedicated Christian?
---
Computer game maker, Electronic Arts, is about to release "Medal of Honor", a game in which the user can become a Taliban terrorist and shoot American soldiers. This is as shameless as the Islamic radicals trying to build the 'Hamas-que' in the shadows of Ground Zero. There is no "HONOR" at Electronic Arts.
---
L-E headline: "Are job skills obsolete or just too common?" -- Ooops, my bad! Thought this was a critique of L-E personnel.
---
L-E headline: "Roy Barnes says health care law could be 'devastating' for state" -- Isn't that special... of course, he didn't speak up until now, while Nathan Deal actually spoke up against it while in Congress, and VOTED against it. Soory, Ol' Roy, that's pablum...hmmm.. maybe even dog food.
---
There are many opinions about what the new mayor's focus should be on, but in my book, the candidate that vows to make sure the City Manager looks after the interests of the whole city (which includes clearing out inefficient and unethical emploees) will get my vote.
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “The happiness of most people we know is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.” — Ernest Dimnet (deem-NAY’), French priest, lecturer and author (1866-1954). -- Like duplicative government entitlement programs, and the loss of personal freedoms.
