A C-SPAN caller, an avowed potUS O'Blather supporter, chastised O'Blather for not calling Republicans to task by having televised public debates and meetings so the people could see what was going on. Huh? That's exactly what voters want, and exactly what potUS O'Blather said he was going to do if elected; to bring more transparency to the government/political process. Well, guess what, potUS O'Blather hasn't kept a campaign promise yet, why do his supporters 'feel' he'll start to keep one now?

Did you see the trophy presentation following the PGA Championship? The executive force from the PGA office didn't look like any of them had ever walked 18 holes before, and I'm not sure a golf cart has been made that could carry any 2 of them around for 18 holes.

Don't be surprised when the 2012 series of money is printed red versus green, because red is the only color ink left in Washington.

From L-E story: "All the dorms are full, with about 150 new Columbus State University students being bunked temporarily at the Holiday Inn-Airport North." -- Can you imagine what the damages will amount to when the students leave?

Dr Mescon is the second Dr Brooke. What CSU is now is totally attributable to Dr Frank Brown who followed Dr Brooke. Hopefully, there's a new Dr Brown who will replace Mescon before 'growth' gets out of hand. Wonder how many remedial students are taking courses at Columbus Tech this semester?

L-E "soundoff" : "Keep the tax freeze for the property, go up on the sales tax, and tax the people who work in Columbus and live out of state. " -- Obviously a 'progressive' DUMB&DUMBERat. The tax freeze benefits everyone who buys a home here in some capacity, but the sales tax rate has risen to the point that if you go out to eat, you are taxed enough to add some government employee onto your food costs.

Another liberal "soundoff": "Why does the tea party think that the way to take back the country is on the backs of the elderly and the poor?" -- Has this idiot ever even contemplated how bad it is for the elderly and poor in more established socialist/communist countries that have a few more years of O'Blather type leadership?

L-E headline: "Obama begins political counteroffensive" -- Proof positive potUS O'Blather is starting his 2012 campaign. Now he'll probably start saying we have to re-elect him because he 'feels' he's the only one who can clean up the mess he's created.

L-E headline: "Prolific pigeons keep coming back " Ooops, my bad. Thought the Council members were being 'graded' by the Mayor.

L-Eheadline: "Man dies after car falls from railroad trestle at 9th Street and Front Avenue" -- Guess he realized he was on a one way street and tried to turn around.

Ever though about why government jobs are called "public service"? When have you ever called on a "public servant" who has listened and done what you needed the way you want it done versus of it may or may not get done depending on the 'public servant's priorities?

What do educators (snicker) expect from students they categorize as "poverty" stricken. The education system 'gives' poverty students 'free rides to school', "free" or reduced cost year around meals, social promotions/diplomas, and a GPA that qualifies them for HOPE scholarships, then doesn't 'get it' when the CRCT's are shocking. What does the education system really expect its practices to accomplish? When students are "GIVEN" 'self-esteem', the results are exactly what is happening.

Finally, an explanation of why BRAC has only produced 50+/- students of the 4,000 the MCSD was expecting. Word today is 6,000 less families are being assigned here than initially projected. An interesting survey would be whether the 6,000 families requested another base once they heard of the CRCT scores in the schools their children would be exposed to.

L-E headline: "ALABAMA FOOTBALL * 1961 defense stakes claim as best ever * Team allowed just 2.2 points per game" -- Yeah yeah, but that was before the soccer kickers came into play and started putting points the board fro 50 yards out.
