Online headline: "Ron Paul Says He Might Not Support His GOP Rivals" -- And? I haven't seen him even support himself in a positive manner.

From L-E column: "No doubt, poverty is a huge problem in Columbus. Eliminate poverty and you’d have brighter students, happier teachers, a stronger educational system, a better-equipped workforce and lower crime rates." -- Is the glass half full or half empty? Poverty itself doesn't weaken the education system; education is supposed to be the route out of poverty, and it's up to the parents and teachers to convey this. Unfortunately, government is/has tried to take over being the parent of poverty students, and is failing miserably.

The Insight Bowl gave us a rare event last night (2 events if you count the camera collapse). The Iowa QB threw an interception, then was called for unnecessary roughness with a late hit during the tackle.

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — The Obama administration hopes to restore momentum in the spring to U.S. talks with the Taliban insurgency that had reached a critical point before falling apart this month because of objections from Afghan President Hamid Karzai, U.S. and Afghan officials said. " -- This sounds exactly like the same story concerning talks between potUS O'Blather and the ultra-left-wing DIM&DUMBERat factions...

L-E story: "TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Scientists want to know if an underwater cannon can protect valuable Great Lakes fish from a greedy predator. * The round goby is an exotic species that hangs around spawning beds, gobbling up eggs of native varieties such as lake trout and whitefish that are important to the fishing industry. " -- This already sounds like another government snafu, but why this, now? Why didn't the government try to run off the little fishes that shut down the California water supply to farmers' irrigation equipment?

What good is an incarceration system/sentence if it isn't adhered to? There's a man pictured in the DUI section today that was arrested for his 2nd DUI in May, and sentenced to 180 days in jail. Further down is the same man arrested for his 3rd DUI less that two months later. If he'd served his sentence, he wouldn't have been out and getting arrested a 3rd time (only God knows how many times he was driving without getting arrested). Just saddens and reminds me of the death of a neighbor's son about 18 months ago. The driver of the car he died in was sentenced to 52 weekends in jail only a few months before the accident. What would be the situation today had the young man served all those weekends as sentenced vs being out early and back behind a wheel?

Latest from www.barackobama.com:
I just got the seating arrangement for my dinner (plus guest) with potUS and Flotus. Wonder what he told the other folks? Of course, he didn't say we had actually been invited, but he does want a donation of $3.00 or more. Might have done so if $2.00 was all it takes. NOT!
Please note that the 'contest' is for 4 winners plus their guests. That would mean a table seating 10 would be necessary. Guess some couple would be left at a table by themselves in 'left' field.

Online story: "PHOENIX -- Animal lovers threatened to pull donations to an animal rescue group and the public flooded the agency with scathing comments and calls after a man's cat was euthanized when he couldn't afford its medical care, * The group has hired a publicist, * injury that he described as non-life-threatening. The agency said it would cost $400 to treat Scruffy, money he didn't have." -- This is a "humane" group? The man could afford $400.00 for a 'band aid',and the Arizona Humane Society coughed up way more than that to hire a publicist for damage control...sick sick sick.

I wish that when the L-E reports a story about something that is funded by "federal funds", the L-E would say it was funded by Congressional Special Interest with our tax dollars instead.

What a hypocrite! Eric Holder, our Attorney General, that is. Holder is challenging South Carolina's new law requiring a photo ID to vote. Wish some national media reporter would ask Holder this simple question: Mr Holder, since you've been Attorney General, how many people have been to your office without either a work related phot ID badge, or either a 'visitor' badge for which a photo ID was required to obtain?

It's strange, no, more than strange, that there hasn't been an "Iraqi War ending/Welcome Home Troops" parade in Washington or NYC (or anywhere I know of). I think one huge parade needs to be staged...how about along our US-Mexico border..

Reports are that a meal hosted by the O'Blather's in a neighborhood restaurant near potUS O'Blather's Hawaiian homestead had 3 different types of butter on the table. Will butter be added to Michelle O'Blather's balanced diet plate, or does this mean Paula Dean is about to be named head of the school lunch program?

From the "Looking back" department...remember when the Big 3 auto CEOs were called to appear before a Congressional Committee, and they were all vilified, publicly 'whipped', for arriving in their private corporate jets in spite of their companies' losses? The liberal media waged personal crucifixions on them! Fast forward to this summer when potUS Obama, Flotus Michelle, AND "Bo", the Kennedy gift dog ALL took separate jets to Martha's Vineyard, and more recently, potUS O'Blather and Flotus Michelle separately took Air Force 1 and 2 to vacation in Hawaii, and who knows how "Bo" got there, yet none of the liberal media raises an eyebrow.

Online headline: "Youth Vote Expected To Decrease In 2012 Election: Report" -- DOH! They are 4 years older and job hunting, and potUS O'Blather doesn't sound so wise anymore.

Did you see the 'cute' picture of the baby sticking its hand into potUS O'Blather's mouth? Perhaps it was a sign that the young voters want him to shut-up... or maybe the baby had a sock in its hand just before the video began.
---
Ron Paul sorta looks like and reminds me of Mr Windish.... Mr Windish was the maintenance engineer at CHS when I went there. One year, the Seniors protested and voted to dedicate the Cohiscan to him, but the powers that be 'nixed' the idea, and used a teacher as the dedicatee. That's how I see the Iowa Caucus shaping up. Ron Paul is a joke for consideration.

Have you ever considered that military weapons would be cheaper and more efficient if manufacturers designed and developed them on their own rather than getting grants/contracts to develop concepts at taxpayer expense?

In 21 states, government employees can 'buy time' in the form of years served to be calculated into their pensions.

Of course, every non-government employee would have benefited today onward if such practices are eliminated.

Were you aware that the Girl Scouts of America offer a merit badge in "media bias"? Of course, the GSA manual sends you to MediaMatters.com for research.

Reflection - Looking back a month or so, potUS O'Blather really screwed up a game changing opportunity to look like a leader. With the Super Committee deadlocked as everyone anticipated, potUS O'Blather could have stepped in, done a little bargaining with the DIM&DUMBERat group, offered a scrap or bone to the Republican group, gotten some sort of deal agreed on, and walked out looking like a leader heading into the 2012 election cycle. But he didn't... stupid man.

One question not asked of Eric Holder: How many people have access to your office who don't have either a work related photo ID badge or have shown a photo ID to get a visitor's pass?
---
After dipping into the fund balance, Mayor Obamalinson claimed the City's salaries/benefits ratio to revenues is 59.4%. When challenged on the veracity of that, she said that was the figure the finance department gave her. Guess the finance office should be the next target of an internal audit.
---
Albany? What short memories at the L-E... or have all the employees here when Rigdon Road School's scores were 100% for a year or two been down-sized out? Oooooops, the principal was moved out and over to Macon as I recall.

As long as GA is passing new laws governing golf carts, how about one getting golf carts and Segways off our sidewalks. Of course, unless the CPD enforced such laws, the laws would be ignored like bicyclers now.

Online Headline: "First Lady Answers Kids' Calls On Christmas Eve" -- Guess we should have expected this; potUS O'Blather wants DIM&DUMBERats to believe they can't exist without 'his' gifts, and now 'his' wife wants to get into the game.
---
potUS O'Blather still blames "Congress" even though his first two years he had a controlling majority in the Senate and the House. The truth is his lack of leadership ability cannot move his own party, and when he points the finger of blame at the Republicans, he uses his middle finger.
---
Of course the DIM&DUMBERats are against photo ID as a requirement to vote. Computers have made it harder for dead voters to renew their licenses.

Belvedere Park...I remember back in the 80's when the Parks&Rec did a $100,000.00 makeover, including putting in new sod and sprinkler system on the football field.

Between drought conditions and having a manually controlled sprinkler system, no one actually took the responsibility of going to the field and turning the water on.

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": " No weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq. Why did it take so long for our troops to come home?" -- It's a waste to attempt to educate, much less try to re-educate a liberal, but we can't let'em rant unchallenged. This is from an AP release of July 5, 2008: "The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program — a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium — reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. * The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" — the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy." In lay terms, this was about 1,210,000 pounds of 'yellowcake'. Whether it woiuld ever be made into a nuclear bomb was not the main concern. Think what 1,210,000 pounds of radiation could add to the suicide bombers' damages as "dirty bombs".
---
L-E headline: "Occupy protesters sue over free speech, force" -- Huh? Isn't what the Occupy Whatever protesters want is complete government control of everyone's lives? With that, there wouldn't be free speech nor the ability to file a law suit based on it.

The latest from barackobama.com: Julianna Smoot, Deputy Campaign Mamanger of Obama for America, sent an electronic card for everyone who supports him for 2012 to sign. Mind you, this is neither a Christmas nor 'holiday' card, just a 2012 support card.
Decided to sign it after all when I noticed I could sign in as "Merry Christmas" in the name slots.

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": " No weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq. Why did it take so long for our troops to come home?" -- It's a waste to attempt to educate, much less try to re-educate a liberal, but we can't let'em rant unchallenged. This is from an AP release of July 5, 2008: "The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program — a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium — reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. * The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" — the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy." In lay terms, this was about 1,210,000 pounds of 'yellowcake'. Whether it woiuld ever be made into a nuclear bomb was not the main concern. Think what 1,210,000 pounds of radiation could add to the suicide bombers' damages as "dirty bombs".

Online headline/story: "Matt Damon Slams Obama, Democrats: 'One Term President With Some Balls Would Have Been Better' * "The wealthy are paying less than they paid at any time else, certainly in my lifetime (born in 1970 - should thank Reagan for cutting the income tax from up to 90%), and probably in the last century," Damon told a reporter at the same ( Save Our Schools ) event. "I don't know what we were paying in the Roaring '20s; it's criminal that so little is asked of people who are getting so much (would he think that if he actually owned a business rather than milked an industry?). I don't mind paying more. I really don't mind paying more taxes (why doesn't he just make a larger separate donation to the US Treasury?). I'd rather pay for taxes than cut 'Reading is Fundamental' or Head Start or some of these programs that are really helping kids. This is the greatest country in the world; is it really that much worse if you pay 6% more in taxes? Give me a break. Look at what you get for it: you get to be American." -- Don't you love it when liberals eat their own and point fingers at themselves? What part of reality doesn't Matt Damon get? He has an agent who makes a seven-figure income doing nothing but jacking up what the market will bear for a movie deal, and managing Damon's money so he has nothing to do but attend liberal events complaining he doesn't pay enough taxes. Yeah, Matt, why don't you just tell us how much taxes you want to pay?

Oklahoma State's quarterback is 28... I remember when the only age extensions allowed for NCAA football had to do with either military service or mission work at colleges such as BYU. Retiring from pursuit of a major league baseball career is not in either category.

Online headline/story: "Jules Manson, Failed Tea Party Candidate, Calls For Assassination Of Obama, First Daughters * Jules Manson, a failed Tea Party candidate for local office in California, recently called for the assassination of President Obama and his daughters in a racial epithet-ridden Facebook screed. * Manson, an avid Ron Paul supporter and libertarian, also writes that he has since been visited by the Secret Service, with whom he says he cooperated fully as he "was hiding nothing. * In a post listed since the latest flare-up, Manson derisively announces a 2012 run for California's 28th State Senate district as a Democrat. * "I intend on representing the Democratic Party with due dignity, and loyalty for my campaign contributors which will happen to be public-sector labor unions and other collective bargaining institutions that help keep the poor man down and dependent on government," -- Finally the truth emerges. Remember when Chris Rock stated that he thought President Bush43 and his family should be dead, and the media yawned?

Once again, why is the William H. Shaw Basketball Tournament being scheduled BEFORE Christmas instead of after Christmas? In the beginning, the tournament was scheduled after Christmas when things were not as hectic, and it gave something for students, parents, and public-in-general to do in the after Christmas lull. Since the MCSD doesn't resume until Jan 10, 2012, one must assume that not scheduling the tournament after Christmas is simply designed to facilitate school administrators/teachers a longer vacation time, and to leave children and their parents to fend for themselves.

Mayor Obamalinson panicked on her claim of the City ratio of salaries/benefits to revenues being 59.4% by passing on that this was the figure she got from Human Resources and Finance Departments. If 40.6% of revenues were available for maintenance, repairs, and current projects, we wouldn't have every garbage truck needing to be replaced, no list could include Columbus as one of the "brokest", and there'd be no need to dip into the fund balance to balance the budget. What was the old saying about figures not lying, by liars figure a lot? Heck, there'd been no need to add the second LOST tax either.

Exchange with Mayor Obamalinson:
When I served on a Bobby Peters select committee to study efficiency and economy in the City government in the mid-90s, the City of Columbus' percentage of salaries & benefits to revenues was about 66% which was pretty effective for a government entity (Well run private sector service companies were about 60%. On the otherhand, MCSD 85% & USPS 80% are examples of way to excessive distributions). What is the City's current ratio?
:
Response - Hal - It's 59.4%. Our pension contribution of nearly $30 million a year is a significant contributor obviously.
:
Re-response - I really do have to question your math. With the inclusion of the second LOST and it's restrictions, there may be a way to claim such a low ratio, but if the city is operating at such efficiency, then we would have no financial woes , no streets with potholes, a fully staffed auditing department, no unfilled job positions, and no need for the 911 or 311 call systems.
Addendum: Oh, and there would be no campaigns to end the tax freeze or raise the garbage fees!

The Iraq War is "over" and the monetary cost over the nine years was $832 Billion, and a big "W" (ironic since Bush43 made "W" iconic). potUS O'Blather spent more than that with the sweep of a pen for the bailouts and 'stim-YOU-LIE' bills, and we haven't won anything but his promise to spend more.

Believe it or not, an education can be acquired by an individual (but of course, teachers are probably teaching Abe Lincoln got his education sitting around a Wi-Fi computer in the library at Harvard), but it takes a well-trained, well-prepared military to insure our children have this opportunity.

From a fellow BCer: The Occupy Wall Street etc has organized and become a new political entity, "The Flea Party".

L-E's "Late Laughs": "Iran is now in possession of an American drone. When I heard that I thought, "Oh, my god, the captured Joe Biden." - Jay Leno" -- Well, Jay has finally awakened.

L-E headline/story: "Police arrest 'defiant' student at Spencer High * (Rakequis) Rogers (18) refused to go to the office and told the assistant principal that "she was not going to suspend him", the report says. * "No folks, I ain't going nowhere," Rogers declared, according to the report, shouting and causing a disruption in the hall. "You can't suspend me." -- Just another expected result of lack of discipline since the Supreme Court gave students "rights" too many years ago, and it's been exacerbated by excessive emphasis on keeping the daily attendance rate as high as possible for the 'head count'. You get what you cultivate.

Online story: "IOWA CITY, Iowa — (Occupy) Protesters drowned out Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich during a campaign event at the University of Iowa. * Gingrich watched impassively from the podium while the protesters shouted. They were led away by university officials. * The former House speaker was on the University of Iowa campus speaking about brain science research." -- Or in the protesters case, the lack of brains.

Online story: "A new audit conducted by City Comptroller John Liu reports New York City schools overspent more than $400,000 in food last year. * Most of the overspending was traced back to markups as high as 890 percent for food items that include parsley, radishes, and scallions. * The audit found that in one out of every five items purchased, the Department of Education overpaid by at least 50 percent of the item's wholesale value" -- Like children even eat parsley or radishes... Wonder how much our own school system misspent on food here?

Harry Reid said "Millionaire job creators are like unicorns. They’re impossible to find, and they don’t exist.” -- I guess the only millionaires he knows got that way by sucking the life and resources out of government programs. Maybe if he tried looking for a few small businesspersons at their places of business he'd find out the only magic for private sector success is hard work and personal sacrifice.

It's one thing for Harry Reid to hold a House Bill hostage unless the House will politically compromise with him, but it's a totally different thing when Reid tries to compromise this country's and it's taxpayers' future.

Online story: "SAN FRANCISCO — Tech giant Google announced Wednesday it is donating $11.5 million to several coalitions fighting to end the modern-day slavery of some 27 million people around the world. * "Many people are surprised to learn there are more people trapped in slavery today than any time in history," said Jacquelline Fuller, director of charitable giving and advocacy for Google. "The good news is that there are solutions." -- Unfortunately, the figure of 27,000,000 people around the world does not include those enslved by poverty programs of the DIM&DUMBERats in our country.

From a L-E story: "Johnnie A. Worsley, 50, has been on death row more than 13 years, but his case has not yet reached the Georgia Supreme Court for an automatic appeal." -- While the concept of an 'automatic appeal' emits an aura of a safety net, why isn't there a specific time frame, say 2 years, in which this 'automatic appeal' must take place so that there is more likelihood that the witnesses and evidences will still be fresh?

After the constant bombardment of Jos A Bank ads offering every price cut, 2-fers, and 3-fers it can dream up. I'd hate to be either a customer trying to exchange a gift from there or a salesperson trying to explain to a customer exchanging a gift that no one knows what price that the gift cost.

I'm confused, again, over who I want to support for the GOP candidacy. I supported Romney in 2008, and he bailed out early (I guess thinking Hillary was not beatable), and I think he'd have faired much better, as would have Republican Congressional Race candidates. I've looked for new leadership this time around, and had almost forgiven Newt for bailing out in 1998 leaving the Republican majority in the House to begin acting like DIM&DUMBERats. I even agree with his illegal alien strategy, and have always admired his historical knowledge, but to hear him state his admiration for FDR has me back tracking from supporting him. Whew!

San Francisco has raised the local minimum wage to $10.24, about $3.00 higher than the federal minimum wage. This must make minimum wage effected union scales happier, but what about part time seniors and teens who will just not be hired or kept on?

L-E headline: "Handling racist joke among topics at diversity conference" -- This is why "political correctness" is such a farce. Is a joke racist only because a person of one race uses another race in a stereotypical manner? Isn't it just as racist when a person of one race tells another of the same race the same joke? Political correctness advocates have just made it that if we don't have 'thin skin' we are not well adjusted. Of what I read, most of the situations were more 'bullying" than sexist or racist, and handling a bully is different.

I remember 40 years ago when I last tried public transportation to Columbus from Atlanta. The Grey Hound terminal in Atlanta was across the street from the Atlanta MDSE Mart. I hitched a ride to Atlanta with my neighbor with the plan to check out whether riding a bus back to Columbus would give me work time to write orders from my day at the Mart. Got on the bus about 5:00 PM, and after 4 hours and 30 minutes rolled into the downtown bus terminal. I was exhausted from not having a work environ on the bus and the time it took compared to driving my own car, and the ticket cost more than the gas I would use in my car.

Online headline: "U.S. Postal Service Plans Dramatic Service Cuts" -- Does this mean all the previous service cuts were just accidents?

I love parades. Watched the Christmas Parade from start to finish yesterday. It was really disappointing in how institutional Columbus basically ignored it. Where was an AFLAC, Synovus, or TSYS entry?
---
I love parades. I understand why Mayor Obamalinson was in it, but why was the District Attorney in it? Early campaigning?
---
One of the first participants was the MCOE band. One of the last displays was the Central High band. Other than those two, there were no other bands in the parade. Where were all the Columbus high school bands? I finally just figured that the bands didn't participate because they probably wouldn't be allowed to play Christmas songs.
---
The worst parade exhibit was the Russell County Sheriff's entry. Vehicle after vehicle drove through, all bearing Sheriff Heath Taylor's name boldly emblazoned across the sides of the vehicles. There's got to be some illegal campaign issue with that.
---
I think about some of the best teams in the South which earned special names in the past such as the LSU "Chinese Bandits", or the UGA "Junkyard Dawgs", but today's only choice of a special name for a team would be one to easily adopted by too many teams to be memorably special. Let's face it... there are a lot, too many in fact, that could easily be referenced as the "Chain Gang".
---
Poor Dusty... he can see how a DIM&DUMBERat tax increase proposal is good for the economy, but a Republican one isn't. Neither Party's increase proposals will help the economy as creating more government jobs actually strains the revenues received from private sector ventures.

What's this attempt by Texas A&M to hire a SEC coach from an existing SEC university? Is it an admission that SEC coaching is better than Texas A&M coaching? It was bad enough that the SEC invited two teams from locations that will make college roadtrip football weekends nearly impossible for students.

Rode by the Whitesville RD/Whitlesey RD dealership yesterday and the first thought I had was, "Taliban Headquarter".

Diversity is a complex, if not complicated word. The mere mention of it conjures up split images to different people. One thing for sure is 'diversity' can be, no, will be, a divisive word unless everyone focuses on the positive differences all people bring to the table.

Do I like it that Republican candidates have had problems within their married relationships.....no..., but I like the conservative aspect of guilt versus the DIM&DUMBERat ho-hum philosophy of their candidates' private lives, their veracity, and that their voting records are not up for public discussions.

The chief lawyer for Starbucks has joined potUS O'Blather's re-election team. First thoughts are that potUS O'Blather is out of touch with American families which cannot afford $5.00 lattes, but as you analyze it, he's just trying to appeal to the Occupy Wall Street jobless grads.

Sebelius did stop this, BUT probably because it didn't go far enough in making it available through school counselors or Girl Scout cookies sales.
---
I have great admiration for the "Relay for Life" operation of the American Cancer Society, but I find it hard to accept that the Muscogee County Chapter would go to Harris County for a 'kick-off' retreat. Let's keep as much local money "local" as we can.
---
If all of the 99% paid their 'fair share; in taxes, the share of the 1% wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket for the budget.
---
The answer to lowering healthcare costs is not in making people buy HEL-thScare Insurance, but in keeping the hospitals and insurance companies from setting exorbitant level of costs for basic services. Let hospitals and doctors negotiate with consumers as th what the market value is, and let insurance companies deal directly with the consumers as to how their products will fit in to the consumers' needs and budgets.
---
One would think that Congressman Bishop sponsoring a Small Business Seminar would know a lot about "creative financing", but like all DIM&DUMBERat Congresspersons, the only source of money he knows about comes from taxing successful small businesspersons' pockets.
---
The chief lawyer for Starbucks has joined potUS O'Blather's re-election team. First thoughts are that potUS O'Blather is out of touch with American families which cannot afford $5.00 lattes, but as you analyze it, he's just trying to appeal to the Occupy Wall Street jobless grads.
---
There's a fervent ad asking us to contact our representatives and 'tell Congress to stop online piracy'. Yeah, like Congress listens to us about spending issues and balanced budget needs?

Why would any Republican candidate be shy about having Donald Trump moderate a debate? Surely, none of the candidates can call themselves viable if they think a moderator from NPR, CNN, MSNBC, ABC or the Comedy Channel is going to be favorable to any of them.

You know, if my Dad was trying to put those magical mechanical Christmas displays in the windows today, the Facade Board would order him to take them out because the figures move and the lights blink. Pathetic!
---
The New York Times, the Oracle of Liberalism, invariable supporter of potUS O'Blather, has run an article ripping the Chi-Com government for over regulating private industry. How did that article, at least the certain paragraph, get past the head editor?
---
If Eric Holder genuinely had no idea about "fast 'n furious" going on under his nose, then that alone should be enough for him to be fired.
---
Next question to ask Holder is: When you claim you finally heard about it, what was the time frame in which you fired everyone below you that knew about it and hadn't told you about it?
---
Bob Woodward, liberal of liberalist, has done what no conservative journalist could get away with without being called "mean spirited". Woodward has dropped his political correct veil and called Al Gore the worst person he's ever had to talk with. Mr Woodward has inadvertently coined a new name for Algore in this effort to enblighten. For evermore, he shall be referred to and remembered as "Al Bore".
---
Speaking of new names, DIM&DUMBERat Gov/Sen/Scumbag John Corzine, disgraced CEO of MF Global, shall now be referred to as John Corzine, a global MF.
---
In a L-E story, the attorney for Ricardo J. Strozier says, "A death penalty case normally takes at a minimum three years before trial." -- This is how the indigent legal program has become a welfare program for attorneys. Did it take 3 years for the defendant to decide to pull the trigger....twice? How does this qualify for the defendant's, as well as public's, right to a fair and speedy trial?

Online headline: "Apple Under Investigation by Feds" -- A little White House payback for the book Jobs wrote? Guess potUS O'Blather will call this another successful "Jobs" Plan.
---
Tim Geithner, Butthead for potUS O'Blather's Beavis, has gone to Europe to try to straighten out that economic mess. First report came back that he's liking their plan. Of course he would! After 3 years with O'Blather, Geithner has never seen a plan, and the fact there are plans at all excite him.
---
Just a random question: Why would anyone want to hear "Taps" played by a bagpipe rather than a bugle?
---
Why should Ricardo J. Strozier get preferred, almost 'star' treatment; he didn't treat his victim with such respect...
---
How sick can a federal agency be? The FDA was planning on making "Plan B", the after unprotected sex pill, to be available over-the-counter to children of all ages. Even a potUS O'Blather appointee saw how sick this was and she stopped the implementation... but for how long?
---
For once I kinda agree with Dick McMichael. Funneling smart kids through one school does change the scales of measuring other schools performances, but there is one thing being learned at CHS that can be used to help all schools.... high standards for students. Not all students are cut out for a college based curriculum. When grades are not kept up to a college required level at one school, reroute those students to a school with a curriculum based on more basic or technical skills so that students do not feel overwhelmed, and they get a head start on being prepared to move into society as productive individuals.
---
Does anyone actually know what the "community service" job of Tony Adams was?
---
Alec Baldwin was recently booted off an American Airline's flight for playing himself. Guess that credit card company will have to pull the ad they use Baldwin in saying he's 'not a pilot, but played one on TV once'.
---
Jerry Sandusky should be sent to the prison where "The Longest Yard" got its storyline.. but not as the quarterback, one of the cheerleaders from cell block "C".

A moment of reflection, please, in order to make sure our media never gets to rewrite what happened this day in 1941.
---
Online story: "A recent investigation by Oregon Fox affiliate KPTV has found that Frappuccinos can now be bought with food stamps at Starbucks stands located within grocery stores." -- This must be a concession to the "Occupy Oregon" jobless college grads who became addicted to Starbucks while on student loans or parents' credit cards.
---
From L-E story: "The (proposed) municipal complex (in Phenix City) is part of a major capital improvement project that city leaders say could change the face of the city. Wetzel said architects are now designing the layout of the municipal complex, which he said is estimated to be about 100,000 square feet and cost about $10 million." -- Ask your Councilperson or MCSD representative why it costs 1/2 or less to construct a public building in Phenix City versus Columbus...
---
L-E story: "“While Columbus may not be the first city connected to any Georgia passenger rail line, we have to know whether we should be the second, third or fourth city to be on the line,” Tomlinson said. “We can’t sit on the sidelines and let Georgia’s transportation future pass us by.” -- Of course we can....and should! What's "future" about building an anachronistic form of transportation that even the existing railroad companies abandoned because of lack of use, need, and profitability?
---
On above: The only examples any one will be able to demonstrate will be in countries that are so overcrowded that individual car ownership isn't feasible.
---
On above again: Why is it that politicians feel they can make something work when private industry has ruled against further investments? A reverse to this is that FED-EX, UPS, and DHL saw how inefficient the USPS was, and implemented efficient competing services that the people were glad to pay for?
---
One more comment about above: "How do you appoint a committee to look into 'feasibility", and not include people who work in the railroad business that can give first hand info and insight to the project?
---
Now that the truth is out, potUS O'Blather's plan to keep the payroll tax is tainted by the fact that he wants to rob the Social Security funds to make up the revenue lost by the payroll tax cut shortfall. He plans to "pay Social Security back" with future taxes on the wealthy. Yeah.
---
Did you realize that Bibles had been banned from being used or brought into Walter Reed Hospital? Republican outrage has had this ban lifted, but on another note, the Quran was not banned.
---
"The Donald" nailed Karl Rove's megalomania in an interview with Sean Hannity. Glad someone said it has Sean doesn't seem to hear me when I scream the same thing at the radio.
---
Speaking of 'the Donald". I'd love to see him in a one on one interview with potUS O'Blather.
---
Hmmm, speaking of Trump interviews, I'd love to see Donald Trump interview George Soros along with potUS O'Blather in the Oval Office.
---
And ex-Gov/Sen John Corzine, too!
---
Speaking of Corzine, can you believe XPOTUS Clinton was receiving a $50K a month consulting fee from the company Corzine drove into bankruptcy? Can you believe "I have too much money; tax me more" Clinton would take it? Do you believe Clinton will give any back to the shareholders who just got fleeced?
---
A California woman was found murdered and hidden under Christmas presents. The murderer could have at least hung her on the mantle with care.
---
So Lady GaGa is heading to the White House for a command performance on her song about 'bullying'. Wonder if she'll warm up the audience with one of her nude Music videos?
---
Online headline: "WATCH: Occupy Groups Protest Foreclosures Nationwide" -- Well, if the Occupy Wherever groups were at home taking care of their bills, or in most cases, gratefully helping their parents who went into debt sending them to college, there'd probably less to protest about.
---
Online headline: "Hillary Clinton: Russian Election Was Rigged" -- Hmmm, this should clear up where ACORN went after 2008.
---
Georgia Trend just announced the winners of the best medical facilities for GA hospitals in a number of categories. Saint Francis shown brightly; Columbus Regional, other than a blip by Hughston Hospital, was snuffed out.
---
An obvious high-brow elitist writes in the L-E that "..,patrons of the arts in Columbus might consider earmarking a portion of their annual giving specifically for such programs." -- First, who writes tripe like that anymore, but Mr Fry should practice what he preaches. The rest of us already do give annually through our tax dollars paid to the City and MCSD for such programs.
---
To the UN...with a wink to Henny Youngman, 'take our potUS O'Blather...please!

Online headline: "University President's Salary Tops $4M Per Year" -- Who does she think she is...the football coach at Alabama?
---
Online headline: "Biggest Black Holes Ever Discovered" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought this was about Steve Williams making another politically incorrect joke, only about some Congressmen.
---
L-E headline: "U.S. Postal Service cuts could hurt Columbus, Macon" -- Oh, like eliminating the "Columbus, GA" postmark hasn't already done so?
---
You know, offering "Dinner with Barack" as an enticement/reward for donating to his campaign is really a serious misuse of the Office of the President. It's a direct form of political abuse of the Office, and a flat out bribe. Charges should be made by the House and Senate Ethics Committees.
---
Seeing the sentence of the man driving a truck involved with the death at a Bradley Park/J.R.Allen interchange, I have this to say: Not discounting personal responsibility as none of us were there to witness the actions, but the architect who drew this interchange should be equally responsible for the young girl's death and consequences thereof.
---
No jokes here, but will reserve any comments about Chuck Fesseden until the light of truth has been shown. Will pray for all persons involved. Hope you will, too.
---
Oh, BTW, I've got a new name for Isaiah Crow-well.... I-say-I Crow-wail.
---
I agree with the Charter Review Committee's recommendation of a minimum fee for properties that are taxed less than $500.00, BUT will it apply to all the exempt state and churches properties? I do have one suggestion for the Council if it applies such, and that is to put a 'cap' on what any residential homeowner has to pay in property taxes. It's a form of class warfare to collect some of the taxes that are assessed on some properties.
---
Hmmm, it's strange that when the L-E listed the names of the 25 person Charter Review Committee, the L-E only named 24 people.
---
The L-E letter writer complaining about a child's voice ruining the CSU Choral performance for her. Lets hope she never has (or had) children of her own. Obviously she has no tolerance for life or the circumstances others had to deal with. Will someone tell her the story of Jesus?
---
As I sit at the traffic light at I-185 and Macon Road, you can't help but notice the trashy site where the I-185 overpass support system is being rebuilt. It made me wonder: Why are we taxpayers paying for this obvious construction flaw? How did it happen in the first place? Has someone, either the architect or the site contractor, been held to cause for this? Why not?
---
It's sad, though a sign of the times, that for the first time in its history, the freshman class at the U of Alabama has a majority of out-of-state students. How many in-state students were denied admission to their state college because the admission committee saw more income available through the out-of-state fees charged non-Alabamians?
---
Raising the price of stamps would not help the USPS out of its death spiral. Like any other government program, throwing more money at it is just a waste of good money.
Customers are looking for efficiency, not arrogance.

---
If the US Post Office is going to treat my mail like 3rd Class, then I want to pay only the 3rd Class rates!
---
A CSU professor mentions in a Chitwood column that visitors 'are down' at the little White House in Warm Springs. The contributor 'feels' it is because of a misconception that a fire burned it down. Sorry, but with potUS O'Blather in office, Roosevelt's actions have been filleted to the point not many people are blind to the socialist manner that FDR injected into our country.
---
How about a follow up on the dead trees of the Veterans Parkway beautification project. The installer acknowledged such in an earlier inquiry, and said he would wait until cold weather to replace them. Guess what, we have cold weather, and the rtrees are still not replaced
---
Wonder if Texas A&M and Missouri are second guessing why the SEC let them in? With two SEC teams slugging it out in the BCS Championship game because other conference champions would not even place in the SEC this year, the newbies must now realize the SEC was trolling for homecoming conference game opponents.
---
From Saturday's L-E "Cryptoquotes": "A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame someone else. - John Burroughs" -- Wish I could say this only applies to potUS O'Blather, but it sums up the whole DIM&DUMBERat Party.
---
From a fellow BCer:
I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the “right”
and Liberals are called the “left.” By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
“The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to
the left.” Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)
Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.
Can’t get any simpler than that.

---
L-E story: "The Georgia Council for the Arts will hold a community forum in Columbus Wednesday to help plan for the future, the GCA announced this week. " -- Now this is a forum that will look at all aspects of 'the arts'....NOT! The only issue will be how to extract more tax dollar support. You know it; I know it.
---
L-E headline/story: "Tuskegee professor to interview families of Syphilis Study victims *
In the study meant to find how syphilis affected blacks as opposed to whites," -- Does the study include family members of any of the white men used in the 'study'? If not, why?
---
I do hope UGA doesn't get/accept a Chick-fil-A bowl invitation...UGA's appearances in the GA Dome have not been good this year.
---
L-E headline: "Study: Many go online for no good reason" -- As opposed for going online for "A" good reason? Maybe there is some truth to Algore's claim that he 'invented the internet'.
---
Interesting L-E headline: "Northside 79, Bolivar, (Tenn) 72 * Dyersburg, TN" -- While I'm proud a Columbus team was successful, how can the MCSD allow travel to another state for a non-conference/region ball game when there has been so many budget problems?
---
What's wrong with Mark Richt? Isaiah Crow-well literally turned his back on Richt in the middle of a conversation, and Richt didn't plant one on Crow-well's rear.

Interesting L-E headline: "Northside 79, Bolivar, (Tenn) 72 * Dyersburg, TN" -- While I'm proud a Columbus team was successful, how can the MCSD allow travel to another state for a non-conference/region ball game when there has been so many budget problems?

What's wrong with Mark Richt? Isaiah Crow-well literally turned his back on Richt in the middle of a conversation, and Richt didn't plant one on Crow-well's rear.

The Bredakfast Club - December 3, 2011
Online story: "Vanessa Gibbs had no problem getting her Western-themed purse through (TSA) security at Jacksonville International Airport. But, on her return trip from Norfolk, Virginia, she was told her purse was a federal offense, reports News 4 Jax. * Agents eventually recognized the gun was fake, but she was told to check the bag or surrender it. The ordeal caused Gibbs to miss her flight and be re-routed to Orlando * The TSA still upholds the position that the purse could be considered a replica weapon, which have been prohibited since 2002. * This isn't the first time the definition of replica weapon has been stretched. Last January, two tourists were stopped at Gatwick because of a toy soldier's three-inch rifle. And, back in 2009, an eight year old had his Disney plastic sword and toy gun confiscated in Ft. Lauderdale." -- What are these guys doing...establishing themselves as qualified to be a member of their local School Board?
---
Online headline: "Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Director, Says Lone Wolf Threat Growing " -- Well, well, well...nothing a little 'profiling' couldn't handle.
---
There has been a list published naming "The 10 Saddest Cities". Good news for Mayor Obamalinson in that Columbus wasn't on the list, but that's probably because the judges only went to cities that they could find via Expedia.
---
Online headline: "Time Magazine Attacks GOP Candidate" -- DOH! TIME probably just left a 'fill-in-the-blank' spot so liberals could insert the GOP candidate they hate the most.
---
L-E headline: "State weighs Detroit takeover" -- Why not just turn it over to the unions like potUS O'Blather did Government Motors? Or, make it a sister-city with Chicago? Why drag down the rest of Michigan...
---
Don't believe anything is earthshaking about 'jobs' for the next 6 to 8 weeks. Temporary Christmas (or 'holiday' if you're a DIM&DUMBERat) help always gets potUS O'Blather's spinmeisters in a tizzy.

Here's a question for the Mayor for her Town Hall Meeting:
Why do you think you can build and run a profitable high speed passenger railway when AMTRAK has been a horrible tax drain and pretty much unaffordable for the masses, and existing railway companies do not see the profitability of using rail cars for people versus freight which can be more densely packed in cars than humans?
---
The latest from barackobama.com says that potUS O'Blather is going to bring his wife to the next dinner with the selected few. Does he think he's 'sweetening the pot' so more people will donate for a chance to dine with her?
---
In a L-E article on the Chamber diversity Carmen Cavezza said, ‘Why don’t we do better than we’re doing?’ ‘Why don’t we have more minority businesses in the chamber?’ ‘Why don’t we have more small businesses in the chamber?’” -- Could be simply the membership pricing structure. The minimum membership pushes $400.00.

Talk about irony, the Occupy Wherever crowd would be the 1% in 99% of the countries that governments actually practice providing all the benefits that the Occupy Wherever protestors want here. Why don't they just move to one of them?

A "LA Occupy Wherever" dissident claims 'they' will 'occupy' addresses of banks and bankers to protest the banks' 'greedy' methods of causing evictions. Hmmm, let's define 'greedy'. Was it 'greedy' for banks to follow Congressionally mandated regulations, or was it 'greedier' for home buyers to knowingly buy houses their income couldn't support?
---
Speaking of 'greed', Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac are having an employee get-together conference in Chicago at a cost of $640,000.00. Other than it is being held in Chicago for obvious political reasons, is there any other reason that this conference be held at all?
---
A thought probably not considered by the Occupy Wherever crowd: How many banks are going to send human resource teams down to a tent city to recruit new employees?

Now a Georgia spokesman says that even if the I-Net company you buy from isn't charging you the GA/Muscogee Cty sales taxes, but if you are sitting at a computer that's in GA, you have to go online and fill out a "GA USE tax form" and send in that amount to the dept of Revenue. Think that's gonna fall right into the 'volunteer more income tax' division of 'laughable government regulations'.

One thing for which there is NO Doubt is that the DIM&DUMBERat Party is the party of the "Lurking Class"; "lurking" around every entitlement program that offers a hand out.

L-E headline: "Columbus State University Recreation Center open now for alumni" -- It's bad enough that faculty mingles with students in a spa environment, but allowing alumni is a bit much. Hope alumni membership includes a police check and a 'married status'. Could this be an indicator that all's NOT well with the cost structure/payoff of the campus spa facility?

---
Worthy L-E "soundoff": "If our Constitution doesn't allow governments to force citizens to pay other citizens' bills, then why do my taxes pay for free lunches and free tutoring that my kids can't receive because I pay taxes? -- Great question to ask any DIM&DUMBERat politician when you can get to any town forums, especially ones involving the MCSD board. Also, it's a great thought to remember anytime you are in a ballot booth.
---
L-E headline: "Obama pushes GOP to extend payroll tax cuts" -- Watch out! If potUS O'Blather is for a tax cut bill, there's something in it we can't read until after its passed and signed that we're not going to like!
---
If the investigation of the Civic Center ticket scandal is going to be productive, it needs to begin with when and why the manager was allowed to receive and distribute free tickets at his own will and whim. Once again, it is imperative that city employees and Council members who were issued publicly paid for tickets step forward with reimbursements for them.
---
Warren Buffet is a favorite patsy for poTUS O'Blather to focus on taxing 'the rich', and now we know why. In recent months, Buffett has bought into technology and print newspapers which he has always spurned in the past; Dementia/Alzheimers? Makes sense....

Online headline/story: "Former Colo. Kidnapper, Is Suing His Former Hostages For Breach Of Contract * In his lawsuit, 25-year-old Jessie Dimmick of Aurora, contends that after breaking into Jared and Lindsay Rowley's Topeka-area (Kansas) home while fleeing police, he and the couple reached a legally binding, oral contract that they would hide him for an unspecified amount of money." -- Only in the mind of a liberal could this actually be allowed in our court system.....
---
L-E headline: "Columbus Council taps Florida woman for community reinvestment director" -- I didn't know we had one before and now need another one. Can you believe Columbus has a person on payroll who's job it is to write applications to get other government agencies to get more tax dollars and that those other agencies have to get more tax dollars from us to send back to us to fund projects we don't necessarily need, but there are funds to get them?
---
L-E headline: "Columbus Copper Theft Task Force says microdot technology could curb thefts * $12,000 grant would equip officers with ultraviolet flashlights" -- $12,000.00 for ultraviolet flashlights that will end up in desk drawers unused. Even in the best economic situations, this is fluff and waste... sort like spitting (or other bodily fluiding) into the wind.
---
Oh, and Council believes having someone on the payroll to write grants for ultraviolet flashlights is a good thing?
---
The folly of a performing arts school is magnified when you think of the building requirements (and costs) for students with disabilities and physical handicaps. Can you imagine a wheelchair accessible ballet barre? Ah ah ah.. you know that would have to be included.
---
L-E headline/story: "Proposal to hike youth team fees gets spiked * "I think $100.00 is way too high, " councilor Gary Allen said. "I intend to vote against it and to encourage my fellow councilors to vote against it." -- Why does anyone on Council think that $100.00 per team per season is unreasonable? Little Leagues pay tremendous amounts to umpires/referees per season when they should, by organizational guidelines, have parent volunteers engaged in such situations. Even 20 years ago, umpiring costs were the highest expense related to a Little League season in most leagues in Columbus, and I'm sure they still are.
---
L-E liberal "soundoff": "The 1964 Civil Rights Act, hated by many Republicans, protected Jewish people as well as blacks and women. Isn't that ironic?" -- You can put the truth in front of a DIM&DUMBERat and it still won't change its prejudices. The actual vote of the 88th Congress is below, and if the great majority of Republicans hadn't supported it, it would not have passed:
House of Representatives:
Democrats for: 152
Democrats against: 96
Republicans for: 138

The 24-year-old Dutchman is seeking $10 million in damages. * In addition to Perez, the lawsuit implicates former Peruvian Minister of Interior Octavio Salazar, former police generals Miguel Hidalgo and Cesar Guardia, and Ricardo Flores, the father of murder victim Stephany Flores." -- Well, all the defendants need to file massive lawsuits against Aruba which might sink the island completely out of existence!

In a nutshell, every City employee, especially any Council members, should immediately reimburse the citizens of Columbus for the price of any 'free tickets' they accepted, and everyone else Hester swapped out services for should be charged with receiving stolen merchandise. The practice of accepting event tickets against the rental costs or as part of the rental contract, should be stopped immediately. Council should not wait for the 'results' before scraping Hester over the rocks. Just the common information is enough to process criminal charges and revocation of any retirement benefits he was/is in line to receive.

L-E headline: "Military medical clinic to open in Brookstone Centre in '12" -- Just an observation, but why would locating in one of the highest cost areas help any better than a more central location?

Fox also interviewed another Victoria's Secret "Angel". Can you imagine any mother instilling a career path for her toddler daughter to become runway underwear models?

It's time for Micelle Bachmann to bow out of the Republican nomination race. I'd like to say "bow out gracefully", but that oppportunity has passed a long time ago. Her campaign has dropped from 'legitimacy' to "yoo hoo, I'm over here. Look at me, I need to feel relevant".
---
You know, Michelle Bachmann has become the Nancy Pelosi of the Republican Party. She, too, has a bully pulpit, and she, too, has lost her relevance.

Why would a bank spend thousands of dollars on an ad to promote interest rates of 0.8- to 1.00% on your money? Wouldn't the bank get better response if it used the money it spent on the ads to bolster the interest rates to its customers?
---
Labor costs for the USPS are at 80%...no wonder it cannot make money to provide ongoing services... Wait a minute! That's less a percent of revenues than the MCSD budget! The MCSD budget spends almost 85% of its revenues on salaries/benefits, leaving totally inadequate resources for maintaining the infrastructure needed to apply the educational services we expect. The elected MCSD board does not do the due diligence that the appointed board used to do to represent the community needs versus the school system wants.

On paper, the SEC Championship could have teams squaring off with 10 and 12 game winning streaks, but is this a smoke 'n mirrors statistic?

L-E story: "In an era when corporate giants face relentless pressure to cut expenses to the bone, it’s nice to know Columbus companies have the philanthropic spirit. * Start with TSYS this week pledging a record $1.119 million to the United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley campaign, with about $900,000 coming from the credit-card processor’s employees. * Then there’s Aflac, which has raised $3 million for the treatment and research of cancer in children over the past decade by selling a plush holiday duck in Macy’s department stores. * And staffers of Synovus Financial Corp. this week are working on the home of Columbus resident Josephine Cunningham, whose late husband, Joseph, was a military veteran. It’s part of the House of Heroes program, with which Synovus has assisted countless residents." -- How much did the "Occupy Ft Benning, SOA Watch, and the NAACP" contribute to the community's needs?

barackobama.com is having another 'dinner with barack' contest, only this time a donation is required to enter. McDonald's and Burger King have options for their contests that you do not have to purchase anything to get a chance to win. Obviously, potUS O'Blather is rooting out "Occupy" participants from winning a free meal.
---
What does potUS O'Blather mean when he says he's anti-lobbyist? If you pay $35,800.00 to meet/dine with him, wouldn't you expect something in return other than a wine stain on your neck tie?
---
Why would Mayor Obamalinson want a high speed train to connect Columbus & Atlanta? Does she want to eliminate taxpaying enterprises such as the airport shuttle companies, and airport connector flights in order to spend more tax dollars supplementing a government run venture that will not make money? Maybe it's just because she's trying to bury Expedia even deeper.

L-E headline: ":GOP hopefuls dragged into N.H. gay marriage battle" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought for a second was that the candidates would have to be dressed 'in drag' to participate.
---
L-E story: "The judges and lawyers have been taking a few hits in the newspaper's pages - and not necessarily undeserved." (Judge) A____ said." -- Simply another situation/example/confirmation of 99% of the legal filed giving the other 1% of lawyers a bad reputation.
---
From same L-E story: "According to the newspaper's analysis, (Congressman) Bishop is among the 10 poorest members of Congress with a networth of -$159,496.00." -- How can Congress budget tax dollars when any Congressman cannot budget his household? One thing this evaluation surely does not include is the sum in his campaign chest.

Happy Thanksgiving! Be thankful for all of God's blessings and challenges.

When the MSNBC/NBC/CNN media was invited to the White House to witness Presidential Pardons for a pair of turkeys, most were surprised that one of the turkeys wasn't Eric Holder.

J.Lo has done a Fiat commercial in her home town neighborhood in "the Bronx". Bet Fiat wasn't worried that the car would end up on cement blocks before the commercial could be finished; Fiat probably was more worried some gang might put the car on their shoulders and just carry it off.
---
Online headline:"Russia Issues Stern Warning to US" -- Can you imagine this headline if a Conservative (for that matter, any US president that the Russians respected) was in the Oval Office?
---
I'll bet MasterCard wanted to run an ad featuring potUS O'Blather in the "priceless" position, but figured people would dump their MasterCards because everyone knows potUS O'Blather has a price... a $35,800.00 donation for dinner with him.

Thanks to a knowledgeable fellow BCer, got new data concerning tank maintenance. As training base, the tanks at Ft Benning will be in constant use with little down time to basic maintenance so such a facility as is being built is quitre necessary for quick turn around to get the tanks back into excellent condition for our blessed soldiers. Keep'em in your prayers, today and every day.

L-E story: "Army (Corps of Engineers) officials plan to cut the flow of water from Lake Lanier from 750 cubic feet per second to 650 cubic feet per second, Army Corps spokesman Pat Robbins said." -- You know, if you make a 15% reduction in water flow, the impact is that the water we get downstream is 15% more impacted with Atlanta sewage.
---
Have you seen the list of participants invited to the potUS O'Blather basketball fund raiser? It doesn't appear to reflect America nor any diversity guidelines.
---
The "Occupy" movement is getting down to a battle between the 'working class' and the 'lurking (for government handouts) class'.
---
Since some retail stores are open 24/7, how do they open up 'early' on Black Friday?

One question: Why would the MCSD have the audacity to commission people to work up a districting plan at all when the Council was actually charged with doing such?
---
From a L-E story: "Hensel Phelps Construction Co. of Austin, Texas, will build the (tank maintenance) structure, which has a price tag of $31.3 million and is scheduled for completion in July 2013. The repair facility will be able to handle 14 to 20 tanks at a time." -- If there is a need to repair 14 - to - 20 tanks at a time here under 'ideal' and 'controlled' conditions, are these tanks battle worthy in third world countries?
---
There should be an immediate criminal review and investigation, with a 'hold' placed on any checks and benefits, of the retirement eligibility of Dale Hester, and if Council hasn't done so, the 'accepted practice' of event tickets being accepted as part of rental negotiations stopped. In effect, if even Councilors accepted 'free tickets' for events, then they were pretty much accepting 'stolen city-owned property'.
---
Solyndra.....it's just is not going away. Now we find the Federal Department of Labor has awarded each of the 1,100 dismissed employees, $13,000.00 "severance pay". That's an additional $14,300,000.00 to the $537,000,000.00 we tax payers are on the hook for loan guarantees to potUS O'Blather's campaign donors!
---
L-E "headlie": "Economy would suffer if tax cut, jobless aid end" -- Oh, like the economy hasn't suffered because of tax rates and extended jobless benefits? Giving lazy or unmotivated people an opportunity to procrastinate will always guarantee more procrastination.
---
There's a difference.... a measurable difference, between DIM&DUMBERats and normal people. Normal people want to help the needy, the truly needy, with a hand-up in their time of need. DIM&DUMERats want this, too, BUT DIM&DUMBERats consider "I'd rather just get you to give me stuff rather than me have to earn it" as 'needy'.

Latest e-mail from barackabama.com: " A few Thursdays ago, I had dinner with four Americans named Ken, Casey, Juanita, and Wendi -- the winners of the campaign's first Dinner with Barack contest. * I loved getting to know each of them. * They're people like Juanita, who helped put her three sons through college on a teacher's salary while saving what she could for retirement." -- Whatta sob story...no, whatta a story from a SOB. Every teacher has a state funded retirement plan (maybe some with mandatory participation) but it's a golden egg compared to non-teachers who don't have the option to retire in their early 50's versus 62/65 for those who were forced to contribute to the Social Security plan.

Once the thought was implanted, I cannot ride by the Nissan dealership without thinking, "Taliban Headquarters".

A while back, the MCSD 'asked' Council to forego the fee for collecting the property taxes the MCSD receives. Fortunately, the Council said, "No way!". Now, Council should demand that the MCSD pony up a decent fee to pay for the services of the CPD & CFD for being on demand. One way the MCSD could afford this would be to eliminate its own 'security force' which hasn't demonstrated much efficiency in heading off vandalism or copper thefts.
---
To show his support for the protesters, potUS O'Blather should spend more time "Occupying the White House" than "Occupying a Vacation Home".
---
L-E headline: "More students surrender in NY SAT-cheating scandal" -- Well, at least it shows the students were learning how to do something, even if not well, from their teachers.
---
L-E 'head-joke': "Congress faces tough issues after panel's failure" -- Liberal media are so predictably disoriented. The tough issues guaranteed the panel's failure!
---
Just thinking about schools wanting to sell ads in the school buildings just rankles me! Wrongly competing against private sector businesses for ad revenues just typifies the lack of what a school's position in the community is about.
---
A local car dealer should rethink, well, at least reword, his ads...."Drive a 'car', get a turkey"
---
How does a school take so long to 'retire' a jersey of a past sports star, and at the same time 'retire' a second players jersey for the second time? Most of us think of a jersey retirement as a one-time ceremony. Thank goodness she wasn't given a gold watch the first time.
---
L-E story: "ATLANTA - A federal judge has denied bond for the four elderly Georgia men accused of plotting terror attacks against government officials. -- Thank goodness it was a federal case! If it had gone to the GA Supreme Court, they'd be out based on 'ineffective counsel'.
---
L-E headline: "Was police use of pepper spray on protesters justified?" -- Hmmmm, the question should have been "Was pepper spray as good a choice versus soap and water?".
