Online headline/story: "Arizona Gov. Brewer Vetoes Presidential 'Birther' Bill * Brewer said in her veto letter that she was troubled that the bill empowered Arizona's secretary of state to judge the qualifications of all candidates when they file to run for office." -- She got the Arizona "illegal alien" bill right, and she got this one right, too; and both for the right reasons.

Online headline: "Egyptian Islamists Defiant Over Christian Governor" -- When the shoe is on the other foot, where is the same kind of religious tolerance the Islamists (and liberals in this country), and the separation of church and state want here?

Hmmm, which is worse, sitting on top of a tank of gas that could possibly explode if you were in a severe traffic accident, or sitting over a huge lithium battery that could meltdown and explode on your way to the grocery store?

Online story: "HAVANA -- Communist Party delegates gave their blessing to a sweeping slate of economic changes designed to breathe life and a bit of free-market spirit into Cuba's moribund economy, and also voted in a new party leadership at a historic summit Monday." -- Sounds like the game plan for the next DUMB&DUMBERat National Convention.

L-E headline/story: "2 Carver football players, unnamed juvenile charged in connection with Georgia football locker room thefts * Carver junior defensive back Deion Bonner, 18, and Carver sophomore running back Marquise T. Hawksins, 17, turned themselves in to Clarke County Jail in Athens, Ga., and were booked shortly after 9 a.m. Monday after warrants were issued for their arrests * Bonner (5-foot-11, 170 pounds) is a highly recruited defensive back with scholarship offers from a long list of schools including Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Miami, South Carolina and Southern California. Bonner and the two others from Columbus were on a recruiting visit at Georgia on April 7 when the thefts took place, according to police * It is not known how the arrests would affect their status with the Carver football team." -- Unbelievable....When first reported,it was not known how the arrests would affect their status with the Carver football team".. Later, it was added that thew players would get 5 games suspensions (at a minimum). This should be a no-brainer. and there should be an immediate transfer to the Alternative School, and no more football.

From follow-up story: " “He said these were just 16-, 17-year-old kids, that kids do different things, and it’s part of growing up,” McGee said of Richt. “It’s just an isolated incident that occurred. I know our program doesn’t stand for those types of things, and I don’t want to be represented by that.” * “This will be a lesson for all our kids on how not to embarrass the program and how not to embarrass what you’ve established,” McGee said. " -- The "boys will be boys" excuse doesn't apply here. Not even the concept of stupidity fits. This was simply an arrogance of feeling entitled to take just because they didn't have these things. We'll be providing 'room and board' over a lifetime for these 3.

While thw White House press release broadcasting Emperor Scarlet Obama's taxes for the past year, and noting his actually generous personal donations, I did notice that he did take the deductions he was entitled to take, and that he did not make any gift of an additional tax amount to the IRS.

Interesting subject:
Richmond County/Augusta and Muscogee County/Columbus are very similar in many ways...consolidated governments/border cities et al. Even their populations and population stagnation are similar, but this chart was released by the GA Dept of Labor for March, 2011:

I haven't looked at other Metro areas, but 1 noticeable statistics is that Augusta has 80% more people in its 'work force' than Columbus. In fact, Augusta has more people in its work force than it has people in its city/county. What is they say, "Figures never lie, but liars figure a lot."?
