Online headline: "Obama Dates Westminster Abbey Guestbook Entry '24 May 2008'" -- Hmmm, in a way that would indicate Emperor Scarlett O'Bama might be related to John Hancock. our president either forgot he "wasn't in Kansas anymore" or that it was a backhanded message that England was behind in the times. Remember when he sent the Prime Minister a gift of DVD videos in the American, rather than European format? Or when he sent the bust of Winston Churchill back, or now when he's ridding the archives of old Royal pictures? What is he really trying to tell the British?

I tell you what, if you read Casey Anthony's attorney's opening allegations, trail lawyer credibility may have reached an all time low.

How can the city golf courses be considered "one of the biggest assets we have", when they do not add value to the community by generating sufficient cash flow to take care of their needs? This is 'recreational', not needed services, and if the users aren't charged enough, or unwilling enough, to pay what it costs to maintain and grow, why should the course be a drain on the taxpayers?

Why is there a necessity to hire a 'firm or individual to provide organized ice skating and hockey instruction at the new ice rink"? Didn't the City just hire a retired hockey player to manage the facility?

L-E's "Late laughs": WASHINGTON, D.C. high schools are being investigated for teachers helping students beat the standardized tests by giving them the answers or changing wrong answers for them. Where were these teachers when I was in high school?. — Jay Leno -- Hmmm, so altering children's test results was not just a local phenomena.

The board of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon has voted to close it's doors as of June 12, 2011. Dependence on tax dollar funding is the culprit in the board's mind. Could/would it have been illogical if the music industry stepped up to the plate to begin with and fully supported its own interests rather than asking taxpayers to do it? The same is true about Columbus' tax supported special interest offerings. Public/Private ventures should get 'public' support via referenda.

Have you noticed how the main stream media will support the DUMB&DUMBERat pleas for 'bi-partisanship' when Republicans have the majority, but offer no support for Republicans asking for 'bipartisanship' from a DUMB&DUMBERat majority?

Passed by a fellow BCer: The truth of humor is what we perceive is reality. This is real funny!
I was eating lunch on the 20th of February with my 8-year-old grandson, and I asked him, "What day is tomorrow?"

He said, "It's President's Day!"

He is a smart kid.

I asked "What does President's Day mean?"

I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln . . . etc.

He replied, "President's Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House, and if he sees his shadow, we have one more year of unemployment."

You know, it hurts when iced cold Coca Cola spurts out of your nose . . .
