Online headline: "Dalai Lama White House Visit: Barack Obama Invites Spiritual Leader For Saturday Meeting" -- Not to be too nitpicky, but after the snub of Netanyahu on his visit, why does the Dalai Lama want to come? Besides, isn't inviting the Dalai Lama in spite of the estranged Tibet-China relationship about as smart as wearing a Wachovia hat into a loan meeting at CB&T?

L-E story: "Columbus police are investigating the reported theft of a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop from Early College Academy at 2701 11th Avenue. * The item taken from the Muscogee County School District School is valued at $1,342." -- We need someone in the MCSD who has knowledge of the computer market in charge of finding better priced computers. MCSD claims is has a person in charge of "buying" but the reality is that person is actually just spending other people's money so looking for better deals isn't in the mix of priorities.

Online story: "MIDWAY, Ga. -- Police in Georgia have shut down a lemonade stand run by three girls trying to save up for a trip to a water park, saying they didn't have a business license or the required permits. * Midway Police Chief Kelly Morningstar says police also didn't know how the lemonade was made, who made it or what was in it." -- If this guy is up for re-election or is dependent on being Mayor/Council approved, I'll send a donation to anyone running against him or has replacing him as a plank of his/her election campaign. Neighborhood lemonade stands are about as "American" as you can get.

L-E story: "Anthony’s legal team said Friday it received an emailed death threat with a doctored photo of the 25-year old woman with a bullet hole through her forehead. The threat was forwarded to authorities. " -- Why would anyone want to keep Casey Anthony from living out her complete life with eternal internal torture? Her having to look herself in the mirror for the rest of her life will be more painful than a bullet to her head. The jurors should be the ones watching over their shoulders.

From L-E story: "Since leaving Congress in January, Patrick Kennedy he has been named a visiting fellow at Brown University and has campaigned to improve brain research." -- Ooops, my bad. Thought he was trying out for a part 'searching for a brain' in a remake of the 'Wizard of Oz".

Yeterday's L-E's "Doonesbury" contains the word 'damn'. Not 'darn', not 'dang', not "&*%$!" , but 'damn'. Just because the L-E runs "Doonesbury" on the editorial page versus the comic section, there's no justification for curse words to be allowed in a comic strip.

L-E headline: "Tractor-trailer crashes into 13th Street Bar-B-Que * Not the first time a truck crashed into restaurant" -- Since no one was actually injured in the accident, I can say it may be time for the restaurant to add a 'drive up' rather than a 'drive through' service.
