Online story: "WASHINGTON -- Scientists have estimated the first cosmic census of planets in our galaxy and the numbers are astronomical: at least 50 billion planets in the Milky Way." -- "Estimated"? Aren't these the same guys that won't believe in God's existence unless they can see it with there own eyes?

Heard someone (with a personal interest, of course) try to compare the Wisconsin uproar with the citizens of Egypt protesting the autocratic Mubarak regime. Excuse me? The Mubarak regime was more closely comparable to the demands of the union protestors who want the average citizen to keep them in a lifestyle that exceeds the average citizen's capability, and those protestors are fighting to keep more than their 'fair share' of other people's money.

L-E headline: "Wisconsin governor takes on unions " -- Well, what did they expect? After years of taxpayer abuse, the taxpayers voted for "Hope and Change" they could believe in!

Online story: "Another endangered whooping crane -- part of a breeding program to repopulate the species -- was found shot to death in the marshes of Alabama, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said. Over the past 14 months, a total of six cranes have been shot dead." -- Can Harvey Updike be accounted for for the past 14 months?

L-E story: "A man busted for loud music at Peachtree Mall on Saturday was found to be in the country illegally, Columbus police said. * The suspect told the officer that the 2002 Chevrolet Suburban he was driving wasn’t his, though a records check revealed it was in the suspect’s name. * Police said that the suspect has never had a driver’s license and is in the country illegally. * (Roberto) Santis faces two counts of false information and one count each of loud music, no proof of insurance and no state driver’s license. * Santis remained in the Muscogee County Jail Sunday on $1,735.50 in bonds" -- Let me get this straight...an illegal alien has a car registered in his name, but doesn't have a driver's license; got a tag with no proof of insurance, and being a sure risk to flight is still given bail? This is not only wrong, it's INSANE!

A "soundoff" from the L-E: " The same people who demand all public references to Christianity be banned lecture us that it’s our “Christian duty” to involuntarily redistribute our money, including to slackers who refuse to work." -- Couldn't have said it better.. or more succinct.. myself.

There's a car dealer offering to pay your 7% sales taxes if you buy a car from it today. I hope other buyers haven't been paying 7% sales tax on their purchases, because the sales tax on a new car is only 6%. The last LOST tax exempted cars and hotel rooms from the new tax. Also, if he's been collecting the tax, I hope the dealer has been sending in the extra tax rather than pocketing it.
