From the ""huh?" department - Online story: "Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who ignited a storm of protest by removing a labor-themed mural from a state office building last month, is now facing demands from the U.S. Department of Labor to restore the artwork or repay the $60,000 federal grant used to create it. " -- Why in the world was a painting paid for with a federal grant to begin with, but more perplexing is why would the government pay for a union, not 'labor', themed wall painting to begin with?

Emperor Imam-a now says he can't run a government based on two week budgets... huh? He hasn't had a budget since last year when Congress was heavily majoritied with DUMB&DUMBERats.

Fox News needs to yank Geraldo out of Libya. We all know what a egoist he has always been, but he's endangering his camera and reporting staff with his ego-gratifying desire to be filmed with live gunfire in the foreground. Either that, or he's orchestrating another scam TV action like Al Capone's 'vault'.

L-E headline/story: "Local pastor honored by alma mater * Flakes has college building named for him in Nashville * He graduated from the college, formerly named American Baptist Seminary, in 1968. * A native of Phenix City, Flakes received an honorary doctorate from A.B. Lee Theological Seminary in Jacksonville, Fla., and an honorary doctorate from American Baptist College." -- Either this is bad reporting or bad investigating.. if he was a graduate, why did he receive an honorary degree?

Nowhere is lobbyist spending more grievous than when utilities lobby Public Service Commission personnel. GA Power constantly advertises on the ways, and its 'green friendly' rewards, to lower energy use, yet when the public cuts back on energy usage, GA Power files for rate increases because the public is using less energy than previously anticipated. The rub is that GA Power Co uses the money spent advertising using less as an expense necessitating a rate increase.

It's somewhat ironic, even macabre, that when Alabama State University makes a road trip to recruit Phenix City students, that ASU uses a Columbus, GA facility.

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.
