Online story: " U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said today that the U.S. expects to turn control of the Libya military mission over to a coalition -- probably headed either by the French and British or by NATO -- "in a matter of days." " -- Oh, no, Mr Bill, uh, Gates, not the French! The French gave us Viet Nam, and are working on giving the world Ivory Coast as it is.

Online headline/story: " Arkansas Prepares for $35 Million Tax Cut Package * (Gov. Mike) Beebe, a popular Democrat, handily won re-election last year after promising to continue reducing the state's grocery tax. Since he took office in 2007, he's successfully pushed for cutting the tax from 6 percent to 2 percent." -- Hmmm, a tax cutting DUMB&DUMBERat...sounds more like an oxymoron. Guarantee Emperor Imam-a doesn't have Beebe on his short list for job appointments.

Emperor Imam-a says he cannot stand idly by when a despot shows no mercy... that must explain why he needed to play golf and go to Rio for Spring Break.

Hmmm, so the L-E is going to make the Monday edition in 4 rather than 2 sections... hmmm, will be interesting how the L-E can call 3 or 4 pages a 'section'.

L-E "soundoff" : " Wanted: Bright young trustworthy person to run against Josh McKoon for state Senate." -- Well, that eliminates McKoon having opposition from a DUMB&DUMBERat in the General Election.

My daughter has been begging me to drop T-moble (which I've used since the mid-90's when it was PowerTel) and get Verizon. Today I read that AT&T is buying T-mobile; she may get her wish.

L-E headline: "Obama: Brazil’s democracy an example to Arab world " -- Well, well, well...the US has the longest continuing form of government the world has ever had, and Emperor Imam-a points out Brazil as a form Arab countries should use as 'the example'. Why doesn't he just send the Arabs our original Constitution that James Madison penned; our Emperor doesn't seem interested in using or enforcing it.
---
It's minimally ironic, but mainly weird, that Emperor Imam-a is making war decisions while out of the country. Wonder if he's sending orders via his ;twitter" account?

One of the overlooked blessings of the new "Hope Scholarship" package will be that our colleges will have to 'cut the glut' of overloaded teaching positions needed to handle the flood of first year college students who didn't really earn the grades to be there on Hope Scholaships in the first place.

Tomorrow's Breakfast Club will either be late, or truncated, or not issued. My bride has an early round of surgery scheduled, and I ask for you to include her/us in your prayers.

This will be a daily inclusion of the Breakfast Club: Diane Schneider, a representative with the National Education Association (NEA), said that graphic sex education needs to be taught in the classroom. * "She said that 'gender identity expression' and sexual orientation are a spectrum, and...that those [who are] opposed to homosexuality are stuck -- quote -- 'in a binary box that religion and family create.' -- This should be sent to every teacher in every school district, and they should be asked to either endorse it, demand Ms Schneider be fired, or drop their NEA membership.
