L-E story: "(Columbus Police Capt. William)Turner said that shotgun casings were found, though a weapon hadn’t been recovered. * L_____ was pronounced dead at 8 p.m. at The Medical Center by Deputy Coroner Freeman Worley. His body has been sent to Atlanta for an autopsy." -- Excuse me, but when someone is dead, and there is evidence that it was a gunshot death, why is it necessary to send the body off to Atlanta for an autopsy? Wasting common sense in order to waste 'common cents' is a reason our tax dollars don't go far.

L-E headline: "Marshal says chaplain broke no laws by flashing badge at motorist" -- Oh, then the chaplain is sworn in? Yesterday's account said the Marshal didn't know, and today's story doesn't state the chaplain IS sworn in. Since when is an unsworn 'deputy' flashing a badge not impersonating a sworn officer? I do not think 'swearing' at another motorist constitutes the 'deputy ' as being 'sworn" in.

Loved being mentioned in Chitwood's story yesterday. It was hard to get exposure as a candidate in 1990 (simply the only way I could vote "for" a candidate for mayor since the other choices were Martin & Wells), and he finally has learned to spell my name correctly.

Online headline: "Gold Shoots Past $1,400 to a Record High" -- Nah, there's no threat of inflation...BS! Hope you guys have been generous and wonderful all this year, and do not have to run out Christmas Eve to buy 'the wife' some make-up piece of jewelry... cha-ching!

Looks like the media is going to do what football teams haven't been able to do very well this year...sack the AU quarterback.

L-E headline: "San Francisco votes to ban toys in some fast-food kids meals" -- Welcome to the real world of Nancy Pelosi! If there's any justice and 'hope' in San Francisco, it will be that all fast food restaurants will shutdown their San Francisco operations completely and let the citizens start a recall election of all the Board of Supervisors.

L-E headline: " Water Works proposes 3.8% rate increase " -- Let's see....the Social Security board says there's not enough 'inflation' to raise monthly checks for last year or next, yet the CWW wants to raise rates in excess of the government's stated inflation rate. Is this fair to those on fixed income? Of course not!

So the FDIC is proposing a lot of new fees to charge banks...isn't that special...like the banks don't already have as many fees as they can think of without someone creating a new list of add-on fees. You seriously don't think banks will absorb the news fees, do you?
