Taking an idea out of the Clinton playbook, Former Senator John Edwards has decided to base his defense on how you define "scumbag lawyer".

Online story: "WASHINGTON -- The White House says Austan Goolsbee, a longtime adviser to President Barack Obama, will resign his post as the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers this summer to return to teaching at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business." -- Perfect example of "Those who can, do; those who can't; teach". Didn't Illinois just vote for education overhaul? Now Goolsbee is returning; can Arne Duncan be far behind? T\You know these guys can't let someone get inside the Chicago system and show the world what a mess they've created.

Online story: "Anchorage, Alaska - Police have issued a warrant charging 32-year-old Byron Edward Syvinski with assault and robbery. The (7 year old) girl is in critical but stable condition Monday. * Witnesses say Syvinski tried to force the girl off the bike Sunday and punched her when she refused. They say he then knocked her to the ground and punched her repeatedly after she lost consciousness. * Police say he will be arrested after he is released from a hospital, where he had been taken for medical clearance." -- This guy ought to be sentenced to 'life' cleaning the polar bear cage at an Alaskan Zoo while the mama bear is nursing her cubs!

Online headline: "Weiner Won't Quit" -- Can't you see his new campaign slogan, "Re-Erect Weiner - He Kept His Promise To Give America The Shaft"

Guess the DUMB&DUMBERats' campaign strategy for November 2012 will be a robust game of "Hide the Weiner". Hmmm, nothing has changed.

From 'the only in California' department - Online story: "After at least 10 documented suicide attempts spanning several years, Francisco Solomon Sanchez finally succeeded in killing himself last Friday, reports the Pasadena Star-News. * The 41-year old man from Duarte jumped from the 210 Freeway overpass and was hit by at least one car. The LA County Coroner ruled that his death was a suicide. *Sanchez had actually jumped from the same overpass in 2003, and used prosthetic legs as a result of that failed attempt." -- Or maybe he was a CATifornian...regardless, can't you see that it was probably the prosthetic legs (more than likely overpaid for by taxpayers) that enabled him to be successful, so can't you see his family suing California for 'wrongful death'?

Hey, Chuck...In 1990, an idea emerged from a mayoral forum held at Peachtree Mall.. tear down Golden Park, build a new Civic Center on that spot so it would command a destination spot that would give impact to developing Broadway and the riverfront south of it into a restaurant/hotel super-center, AND build a new outdoor facility (at the present location of Carl Gregory North) that would be a place for baseball and outdoor music concerts, AND campaign to be a satellite venue for the 1996 Olympic baseball competition. At that time, property was available, and the projected cost of building the new baseball/music complex was between $6-$7 million. (The idea was neither candidates Martin's or Wells' idea). Council and the L-E actually entertained such thoughts, but opted out by deciding it was cheaper to spend $1.8 million on a band-aid fix on Golden Park versus spending $6 or $7 million on a new facility. 3 years later, Olympic softball caused such a fever in Council that Council decided to renovate Golden Park (with all it's warts) at a cost that publicly neared an additional $7 million. That decision left a heritage of a still broken down facility, and killed professional baseball by making the Columbus Catfish play the 1996 season at CSU's baseball field. Pro baseball never recovered, and Charlie Morrow's death sealed the blow.
Looking back, Council's decision to renovate Golden Park versus building a new stadium facility was a costly one. That decision cost Columbus the chance to resurrect Downtown Columbus, and to bring new life to baseball and concerts in a more central area site.

Unbelievable interview between CBS's Bob Schieffer and Nancy Pelosi: "CBS reporter Bob Schieffer decided to ask Nancy Pelosi the tough questions and cornered her on her Congress’s record on the economy. How did she react? Let’s just say you could stamp ‘hypocrite’ on her forehead after this.

“We’re talking in kind of a different way, when unemployment went to 5% under George Bush. What you said then, that Americans are struggling with skyrocketing energy prices, gas was only $3 a gas then, and you say this morning this is January 4th, 2008, this morning’s job report confirms what most Americans already knew. President Bush’s economic policies have failed our country’s middle class. I mean, aren’t Republicans entitled to say, you know, if gas was $3 and unemployment was 5% and the President has failed the American people, don’t they have a right to say that this President has failed the American people?” Schieffer asked (emphasis ours).

Her response?

“Well, if you want to go into the past, we can talk about the past all you want,” she said before adding that Americans are looking to the future. -- What can you people or I add to this ?

Maybe Mayor Obamalinson will let citizens who forget to get their trash out on the one day a week it gets picked up to bring it by her house and leave it on the street for the garbage collectors the following week.
