Correction: Lula Huff is not the wife of Bruce Huff as I stated the other day in drawing a comparison to former Councilor Julius Hunter's wife being on the city payroll. Lula is married to Charles Huff.

The holiday buzz must be getting to me. Another BCer pointed out another misdirected credit. Roger Miller, not Ray Stevens, sang "King of the Road". I knew that, but just messed it up. Anyway, I like both those guys's songs.

potUS Imam-a blames lack of manufacturing capabilities/facilities as the reason unemployment is so high...DOH...but doesn't 'get it' that manufacturers sought relief from government excesses in regulations that added higher costs via taxes, fees, unions and unnecessary compliancy to unnecessary government agencies being funded by the ever consuming government need for revenue.

From another BCer: 'don't know if this is an accurate quote....came to me in an email today, but thought you would get a kick out of it regardless. Gov. Mike Huckabee said..."If we want to keep our Nation's secrets 'SECRET'... store them where President Obama stores his college transcripts and birth certificate."

Have you seen the ads for Windows based phones? I look for Apple to start an ad campaign on whether you'd trust your Windows phone in an emergency based on past experiences with your computer software from Microsoft. I know I will not buy another Windows based piece of electronics in the future. Vista and 7 put in the finishing nails to the coffin.

Online story: In April, the government announced a new high-tech $100 bill that would feature security features such as a 3-D security strip and color-shifting image of a bell * Unfortunately, millions of these folded during the printing process, leaving a blank portion running across the bill face. * Authorities can't work out what caused the problem, or even what they should do about it. Sorting the bills by hand could take as long as 30 years and nobody has come up with a mechanized system to separate the good bills from the bad. * The defective bills, which could have a face value worth billions of dollars, will have to be burned. * For now, the bills, which cost a total of $120 million to print, are simply sitting in vaults in Fort Worth. * "The Fed's very unhappy, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is taking a beating unnecessarily," the person told CNBC. "Somebody has to pay for this." -- At least it's not bailout money; but haven't we taxpayers already paid enough for this boondoggle? If any one pays, it should be by eliminating enough government jobs/programs to make up for it.

On the bright side, disposing of the ashes of the millions of new $100.00 bills will be a 'shovel ready job'.

Online headline: "Is Obama Selling Out Liberals Who Elected Him? " -- C'mon...liberals didn't elect him; they all voted for him as they would for any DUMB&DUMBERat candidate. potUS Imam-a was elected by the spineless element of voters that cast their votes based on what feels good at the moment versus the long range good of the country..
