Online headline: "Chrysler Financial Sold for $6.3 Billion" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought potUS Imam-a had been Christmas shopping for the Chinese Government.

US DA Eric Holder says we need to worry about terrorism within the US from people who live here, even were born here.He said the situation we face now did not exist 2 years ago. Do the math.... guess some 2008 potUS Imam-a voters have 'gone rogue' or 'postal'.

From L-E story on redistricting: "The final plan will require federal approval under the Voting Rights Act because of the state’s history of discrimination against minorities. The law will likely protect Second District Rep. Sanford Bishop, who is black." -- Yet the last election discriminated against the whole 2nd District because of the Columbus/Muscogee county bloc vote. It's time to let the Albany area voters determine who represents them.

Instead of dishing out death sentences to heinous murderers, give'em life without parole, but mandate they have extra yard time daily in the presence of other prisoners, and work in the kitchen under a hot tempered chef. Justice would come quicker, and there'd be no extended appeals time.

Georgia Power Company requests should not be decided on profit margins, but on how well it controls expenses. As a basically monopolist entity, using revenue for advertising and charitable donations should not be allowed as 'expenses' the consumers should have to support.

L-E headline: "Senate passes spending bill * Stopgap measure will keep government open into month of March" -- You know, when the Senate 'passes' one of theses extensions because no budget is in place, Congressional salaries should be suspended from being paid out during months that the budget doesn't get passed.

Another thing, no new laws should be able to be voted on with an unrecorded "voice vote" in either the House or Senate. There's too much 'margin of error' for some loud mouthed politicians and Chairperson's with questionable hearing abilities. Just look at how little the DUMB&DUMBERats listened tp the voters for the past two years.

The non-partisan local elections have allowed all people who wish to run for office to do so. Going back to a partisan election would limit access for independent candidates, and voter's choices for deciding who represent them. This years Council elections had 3 choices in Council Post 1, 3 in Post 3, 5 in Post 9-at-large, and 4 for Mayor. Voters could decide on who they were "for' rather than having to choose between only 2 choices. Even multiple party affiliates could run against each other in full district elections rather than in a primary for each party. Non-partisan elections are good for the community.

Congrats to the UCONN women's basketball program for its win streak, but there is no way to compare the UCONN record to the 88 game win streak of UCLA's men's team under John Wooden. Apples and oranges.

L-E story: "The Fed is lending dollars to other central banks in exchange for their currencies. * The central banks can lend those dollars out to banks in their home countries to ease financial turmoil. * Use of the program peaked in May, shortly after the swap arrangements were set up. * The Fed had lent the European Central Bank $9.2 billion, and was repaid. * In June, the Fed had lent $6.64 billion through the program. Most of the money went to the European Central Bank, and was repaid. Use of the program has since waned." -- Now the Fed is printing more money to 'bailout' the Euro, but it dilutes our money and our savings! Do you think any other country would be propping up our dollar under the circumstances? Not even China!

You've got to hand it to the local DUMB&DUMBERat Party for electing Judy Brouillette as its Treasurer. If there are any discrepancies, she'll be screaming and hollering that it's George Bush's fault!
