Online headline: "Obama Hits New Low On Economy" -- And in honor of Elvis, potUS O'Blather responded, "Thank you, thank you very much.".

Online story: "Children -- particularly very young children -- who experience even a bout of poverty are less likely to graduate from high school," -- And a good reason is that schools treat them so nannyish and apologetically, the children are made to believe they are 'victims', and therefore excused from earning respect for themselves.

Online headline: "David Letterman Receives Death Threat" -- Ex-wives and CBS executive head the list.

L-E headline: "Recent rise in homicides mars mid-year crime report " -- Just goes to show that it doesn't matter how many more policemen you put on the street, no matter how many 'crime prevention programs' are initiated, that if you don't address the crime with swift and efficient justice, there is no deterrent for future nor habitual criminals. Crimes involving violence/death need to be quashed by suitable consequences.

Think about the above headline, "Recent rise in homicides mars mid-year crime report ". The L-E seems to be more interested in addressing the crime report than in the crimes themselves. Crimes are why we need/have a police force; crimes are why voters passed the most recent LOST. Crimes are what give circulation boosts to newspaper sales. The L-E has a need for 'crimes' more than it has a need for having the judicial system stop crimes.

A lib writes to the editor: "The governor and legislature have reduced the number of pre-K days by 20 for the coming school year. This puts a tremendous burden on working parents. It is especially burdensome if the working parents are teachers, as they are having to work at reduced pay. " -- Never have I considered my children a burden under any circumstance, and we obviously have a teacher (or spouse of one) who considers your children he (or his spouse) teaches "burdens". How embarrassing for the school system.

L-E headline: "Obama will lay out new jobs plan in September * The president will reveal his plan right after Labor Day " To coin a favorite SNL celebrity's signature line, "Well, isn't that special.". If potUS O'Blather has/had a plan, why is he not implementing it immediately? Doesn't it make sense that if he had such a plan, he could embarrass Congress to reconvene immediately and pass it today? Just more blather, and continued lack of leadership.

L-E headline: "President predicts economic recovery" -- Wow! potUS O'Blather really has gone out on a limb this time. I, too, can predict an economic recovery. If we're lucky, it starts in November 2012 following potUS O'Blather's replacement winning the office.

L-E headline: "FORMER OFFICER PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO FEDERAL BANK ROBBERY CHARGE " -- This is the type of legal maneuvers of attorneys that, according to the L-E. 'mar' the crime report. Having been caught red-handed with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar, some lawyer(s) will milk the taxpayers for personal benefit for as long as it/they can. When a culprit (and not an alleged culprit) is captured during the crime, a public defender should only be involved to protect the criminal from an excessive penalty. If the caught-red-handed criminal wants to delay the results by pleading not-guilty, then the criminal should have to pay for his/her own lawyer.
