L-E "headlie'': Wisconsin Democrats say wins show voters’ anger at governor, GOP" -- Excuse me... since the DUMB&DUMBERats picked out 6 Wisconsin Senate seats they thought were the most vulnerable, and lost 4 of the 6, it seems to me that a D&D celebration just demonstrates how out of touch they are.

Senators Kerry, Baucus and Murray? These are Harry Reid's choices for the Super Committee that will oversee Congressional spending/budget cuts? All this does is highlight Senator Reid's lack of willingness to try to solve the current and future financial problems for the American people.

Liberals are now having 'voter regret' because potUS O'Blather hasn't even "run a 'candy store'". Seems to me the potUS O'Blather got to run the Congressional 'candy store' for 2.5 years, and because he's such an "I" person, when he added "I" to 'run', it became "ruIn" the 'candy store'

potUS O'Blather made another gaffe in chastising the S&P for its opinion. The real question is why the S&P or the American people should respect any opinion on the economy coming from any government agency.

Any poll showing/stating 'most Americans support more taxes on corporations and 'the wealthy' should have an asterisk denoting that the poll includes mostly Americans who get more income tax refunds than they paid in during the year, and their opinion is actually a way to protect their income source.

From the 'I just got to get this off my chest' department -
If I hear another ESPN/ABC broadcaster in the Little League baseball series claim that a catcher can influence an umpire's call by "framing the pitch", I will scream. I umpired LL and some babe Ruth games for 30 years, and not once did where a catcher caught a pitch influence one decision of whether I called it a ball or strike. Umpires decide on the status of the pitch where it crosses (or not) the plate, long before the catcher makes a play on it. Anybody that tries to tell you that "framing a pitch" matters just has no clue about what they are talking about.

"Earth Sense"? Why should GA Power be allowed to run ads (padded expenses) about how eager they are to help you save energy and lower your current bill? You know GA Power will turn that into a plea to the PSC next year to ask for a rate hike based on the fact you used less wattage this year, and next year, you'll pay a lot more using the same wattage you used this year while you suffered through the summer heat. God forbid if you use a few more watts next year at the new higher rates!

So potUS O'Blather is going on a bus tour of a couple of DUMB&DUMBERat states while the rest of us take a Wall Street roller coaster ride. What's the bus gonna be called... Land Farce, Too? You have to wonder, too, who he's gonna send to the back of the bus, and who he'll throw under it.

From a fellow BCer's post on facebook: "Does anyone know how to cancel a bid on eBay? I put in a bid for a "Mickey Mouse Outfit," and now it seems I'm only six minutes away from owning Obama's entire Cabinet."

Online quote service: ""If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams " -- Unless your actions inspire others to dream more about what others can do for them, learn more how to scam government services, do more to strain the tax portion of 'working Americans', and become more dependent on government services, then you are a Community Organizer, and a leech. Sound like any people we know?

From a L-E story: "(DeWayne) Williams admitted in a videotaped interview that he shot the 30-year-old (Keyonna Monte) Chapple as the pair walked along Fisk Avenue around 4:40 a.m. In Columbus Recorder’s Court Wednesday, Williams pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and theft by receiving stolen property." -- This is what is makes the public scorn the legal system. A man professes his guilt, and some public defendant convinces him to change his plea so the lawyer can soak the taxpayers for more money.

One of the problems of the City's revenue stream is the number of properties that have tax exemptions from local property taxes. Every building structure presents a drain on City fire and police services, so why shouldn't the City have a 'fee' for all otherwise tax exempt properties? One very apparent problem is the downtown conversion from locally owned to CSU transition of many higher priced local properties.

L-E headline: "ATLANTA SCHOOLS * Ex-chief ‘deeply’ regrets cheating scandal" -- Yeah, now that it has been exposed, and she lost her new job in Texas.....

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — Wholesale companies added more autos, machinery and computers to their stockpiles in June, pushing inventories up for the 18th consecutive month. " -- When a recovery actually starts, you'll see inventory decreasing as demand strips on-hand goods. Why is it this administration doesn't understand basic economics? When GM was a private company, stock build up because of slower than projected sales would result in a shift lay-off or a plant closing for a 2 week 'vacation'. With the union now being a major stockholder, do you think Government Motors will initiate the same practices, or just let the union workers keep on building unneeded inventory?
