Online headline/story: "Obama Warns Cantor 'Don't Call My Bluff' As Debt Talks Stall * Cantor, speaking to reporters after the meeting, said that the president "abruptly" walked off after offering his scolding. * "I know why he lost his temper. He's frustrated. We're all frustrated," the Virginia Republican said." -- When he is a child, Emperor O'Bozo acts and talks like child. He needs to put away his childish ways and man-up. (Street version of I Corinthians 13:11.

Online headline: "Marion Christopher Barry Arrested On Drug Charges " -- No, it's not an 1980s headline; the fruit didn't fall far from the tree.

From a L-E story on the 14th St. Bridge: "Work on the bridge is just the beginning of a project costing more than $10 million. * When all of the work is completed, likely in 2013 said Jones, there will be a plaza on the Columbus side of the bridge. The cost of the bridge renovation is $5.2 million with the plaza costing another $4.3 million. * Most of the funding is federal money with $3.3 million for the bridge work coming from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. " -- Is it the "new math" thingy again? $5.2 Million and $4.3 million do not add up to "more than $10 million'. Of course, it could just be an acknowledgement that it's a government project, and government cannot finish a project within its budget.

L-E "soundoff" of distinction: "Justice is supposed to be blind, but in Florida it is also deaf and dumb. "
---
Another "soundoff" of merit: "Union pensions all across the country would not be going broke if the unions actually contributed to them and didn’t send all their money to reelect Democrats. "
---
Now to balance with 'liberal's 'soundoff': "The Republicans know if they raise the debt ceiling the economy will take off, and that’s the last thing they want." -- Musta been inserted by the L-E writer who figured the math portion in the L-E 'bridge' story.

Thanks to a fellow BCer, 'we' have a new and well earned monicker for our City Manager.. "unwIsaiah" Hugley.

The Emperor's spokesminions are out in force saying after we pay Social Security, debt interests, and basic government needs, other services would not be able to be met if the 'debt ceiling' isn't lifted. Hmmm, wouldn't this be a spending cut which this economy actually needs? Now that the DUMB&DUMBERats have identified these superfluous expense centers and have the priorities in line, making permanent spending cuts should be a snap.

Almost killed another bicyclist yesterday. A woman, iPod in her ears, tore through the Broadway median sidewalk as though she owned the sidwalk, and if I were not alert to such things, she'd have been run over as I made a legal right turn on red. Never has it been so necessary as now to have over 12 year old bicyclists register/license their vehicles, and take a proper safety/defense driving course.

While (especially under the cloud of Casey Anthony's acquittal) I think it's asinine to pursue the case of Roger Clemens charges of lying to Congress, but if it continues, I hope Clemens is convicted and nailed to the wall. Then, the precedence of lying to Congress should become the new standard for ethical charges against Congresspersons, Presidents et al lying in Congress or to the American people. Conviction would mean expulsion and a similar jail sentence to what ever Clemens gets. I can live with this.
---
What good will it do for Casey Anthony to change her name, appearance, and location? It would be 6 months before she'd be out celebrating and looking for the paparazzi to pose for.
---
Also, why would Anthony's attorneys think she will be in danger oncd she's released? Her biggest 'danger' will be looking at the woman in the mirror for the rest of her life.

Wonder what the liberal media reaction, especially Geraldo Rivera's, would have been if the Casey Anthony jury had sat in on the Bernie Madoff trial..

L-E story: "Associated Press WASHINGTON — Failure to raise the U.S. debt limit would probably ensure President Barack Obama’s re-election in 2012, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell warned fellow conservatives Wednesday" -- "Senate Republican leader"? Sounds more like McConnell will be the DUMB&DUMBERats next "McCain" poster child for what bipartisanship looks like. Senator McConnell, "heel" thyself!

From the 'suspicions confirmed' department - L-E's "Late laughs": " SCHOOLS IN Illinois are dropping writing portions from standardized tests. When asked why, a spokesman said, “We simple does not needs them.” — Jimmy Fallon" -- Wasn't it yesterday I said that Chicago is the center of liberal ideas of Class destruction?

When you think about it, Emperor O'Bozo's plan may actually be to get the US credit rating lowered to the European level he so idolizes.

Ah! Just heard a mockingbird chirp outside my office window. My cat jumped and ran to the door...he heard "Breakfast!"

L-E headline: "PREPARED TO INTERVENE * Bernanke: Fed would supply more stimulus for U.S. economy if needed " -- Is there no dignity, no honor, among the den of politicos catering to Emperor O'Bozo? What Bernanke is saying is that if Congress won't raise the debt ceiling for more spending, he will give Emperor O'Boze more unbacked, hyper-inflated printed money he can distribute out the back door.

The Springer has a children's play titled "Go, Dogs, Go" on its agenda. It features gangs of Yellow Dogs and Blue Dogs. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought this was a DUMB&DUMBERat Convention.
