Looks like either incoming Mayor Mother Teresa Obamalinson is either a Saint after all, or an illusionist. No one is losing a job who used to work in Mayor Wetherington's office, and she's bringing in 3 new staff members and reducing costs $50,000.00.

From Thursday L-E story: The city raised several issues about Currie’s truthfulness. * She did not tell Goodwin the truth when asked about a concrete slab that was poured along the city’s new rail trial near Peachtree Mall. * “I never gave permission for that action to be taken,” Currie said of the slab, which was paid for by the United Way. -- Thought this sounded somewhat fishy, so I got confirmation from the lead horse:"The city paid for the Concrete and poured the slabs. We (United Way) did not! We got a grant from Pepsi for signs paint etc. No United Way money used." A clarification and apology from the City should be hastily forthcoming.

Online headline/story: 'White House Furious With DeMint's Threat to Read START Text on Senate Floor * White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs called DeMint's demand a "new low in putting political stunts ahead of our national security." * Gibbs said the treaty has been available to every senator for the past eight months. Reading it line-by-line in the chamber would take up to 12 hours, he said. "It is the height of hypocrisy to complain that there is not enough time to consider this treaty, while wasting so much time reading aloud a document that was submitted to the Senate months ago." -- Well, reading it on the floor would eliminate future regrets from those who might say they voted on it without knowing what was in it. Remember Pelosi's statement that they needed to pass the HELL-thScare Bull so they could find out what was in it?

One 'big oil' company is telling us it's developed a way to keep carbon dioxide from being released back into the air when natural gas is used. Hmmm, this must create a real dilemma for the ultra-left whether to applaud 'big oil' for being 'greener' or to protest 'big oil' for starving trees.

Congress's approval rating has reached an all-time new low of 13%. I'd like the pictures of those 13% posted in newspapers and on line so we'd know who they are.
