Online headline: "Obama to Demand President Quit" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought maybe Michelle Obama had seen the light and voicing her opinion on "The View".

Online headline addendum: "U.S. Preparing To Demand Departure Of President Bashar Assad, Say Sources " -- What is this, an August edition of an April Fool's joke news story? Perhaps if Seal Team 6 announced it was going after Assad, Assad might take it more seriously.

Online headline: "Wisconsin Republicans Retain Control Of State Senate" -- Reminds me a little like a fairy tale involving a huffing and puffing wolf. Republicans who built their houses with conservative bricks prevailed, and the silent majority sent a message to other liberals that their seats in Wisconsin (and most other states) are made of sticks and straw.

L-E story: "Columbus Councilor Mimi Woodson has proposed that the city rename Fifth Street, or at least part of it, for the Rev. J.H. Flakes Jr., longtime pastor of Fourth Street Missionary Baptist Church." -- I can accept the "part" part... maybe something like the "Flakes' Bloc Party"?
---
Online headline: "Apple Briefly Passes Exxon As Most Valuable U.S. Company" -- Hmmm.. maybe the mainstream media will forget "big oil" and go after ' big apple"... hmmm, that wouldn't fly because NYC liberals would call it a 'right wing conspiracy'.

Have you seen the video of Barney Frank on Rachel Maddow's BSNBC show? He actually 'passed gas' aloud on TV. Most intelligent outburst I've ever heard out of him.

Online headline: "Al Gore Explodes in Climate Tirade" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought Algore had overheated and blew up...literally.
---
In an online story, former VP Algore erupted, "In a passionate rant, Gore says his opponents are a group of people, "washing back at you the same crap over and over and over again. There's no longer a shared reality ... It's no longer acceptable in mixed company -- meaning bipartisan company -- to use the goddamn word 'climate.'"" -- If he has any credibilty left, it has to be from an element of people that can only be described as lunatics. What language spewing from a former VP, and pretender to the presidency. Excuse my verbatim reporting of his language but using asterisks as substitute letters would waterdown the effect.

From a yesterday L-E story that I didn't comment on: "As part of the solution for moisture problems at Fox Elementary, approval was requested to remove and replace the three energy recovery ventilators for three classroom wings at a cost of $600,000. There was no discussion and a vote will be taken next week. Funding would come from the 2003 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax." -- Proof positive that not only is :greentechnology" not always the answer, but it can also create "green problems" at great expense to eliminate after the great expense to initiate.

I am beginning to believe the decline in educational results is actually a government conspiracy to maintain government growth. When students leave the public school system without knowing how to take care of themselves, they become further dependent on government programs designed to keep them on government programs, and literally making them have to vote for candidates who pledge to keep those programs growing. To a liberal this sounds reasonable, because a liberal doesn't calculate that eternal growth is not possible when resources are not eternal.

It's 30 straight games for Uggla's hitting streak; all of a sudden, "uggla" is becoming 'beautiful'!

Online headline: "Penn State Coach Joe Paterno, 84, Injured at Practice" -- Somebody should remind him that padded equipment is now required since he first walked on to a football field... Any way, hope it's not serious.

There's a movement to push for computer controlled, driverless cars. Let me ask you this... do you want to be sitting in the passenger side or back seat of a car being controlled by a Microsoft Windows OS knowing that Windows' OS is going to crash?

Online quote service : ""The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed in these two: common-sense and perseverance." - Owen Feltham " -- Of course, if you remove 'common-sense' from the equation, you've just illustrated the definition of the Dumb&Dumberat mascot, the jackass.
---
Maybe I misjudged the idiots at MTV... "Jackass" is may actually be a documentary of teh DUMB&DUMBERats... well, it might be.

Online story: "The Martha's Vineyard vacation home of President Barack Obama and his family during the summers of 2009 and 2010 caught fire in the early morning hours today. * Obama is expected to vacation there once again next week," -- Can't figure out whether this was intentional or what, but we'll see when potUS O'Blather takes the air on Saturday, and mentions he has created new jobs this week for the Martha's Vinyard Fired Department and Carpenter's Union.

L-E headline/story: "Despite some tax concerns, Columbus Councilors approve Victory Drive land deal for $1.135 million * The 3551 Victory Drive property was appraised for sale at $1.185 million, $50,000 more than the city will pay the owner, Alpine Apartment Project LLC. On the city’s property tax information website, the property has a moratorium value of only $814,000. * Betty Middleton, the city’s chief appraiser, explained that in 2008 the state passed legislation that for three years, the assessed value would be frozen at the 2008 level. That freeze applies to assessment for taxation, not for sale, she explained" -- Based on the real estate collapse of the last 4+ years, the value today should be lower than it was 4 years ago, so why was it worth less in 2008 than it is being bought in 2011?
---
While the above is being pondered, I'd like to know who the principals are in Alpine Apartment Project. LLC... I think the principals definitely need to be disclosed to make sure no one profiting is politically connected; will Michael Eddings please come forward with the info?
---
L-E headline: "UGA economist Jeff Humphreys says odds of double-dip recession growing" -- That's new news? We knew we'd have a 'double dip economy' back in November of 2008 when Obama bin Biden were elected...two of the biggest dips ever.
---
L-E headline: "More of Adams’ players may have received funds from city’s account" -- Is there a bottom to this? How much longer can unwIsaiah Hugley plead ignorance of the Parks&Rec scandal, and still maintain a shred of competency as City Manager?
---
The "War on Terrorism" is referred too as the "Bush War"; potUS O'Blather's expansion to Afghanistan should be referred to as "bush league war:.

L-E headline: "With sadness and dignity, Obama honors fallen" -- Ooops, I thought potUS O'Blather had re-instated the 'medic alert' coverage to Medicaid.

L-E editorial statement: "However transparently its shortcomings have been used as excuse, rationalization and spin for real education problems, the No Child Left Behind law is clearly a flawed system for evaluating students and schools. It raises the bar perpetually and too fast, it sets arbitrary and unrealistic benchmarks, and there are too many circumstances it fails to take into account." -- Obviously the liberal mantra! Schools need to accelerate the educational effort to stop the ongoing 'graduation' of ill-equipped students into society. What pace is "OK" in the schools' and L-Es' eyes? Do we abandon the effort for the current students, and maybe come up with a plan to start over when a new batch of students start in a few years? Standards need to be raised immediately; after all, to use the liberals' favorite battle cry for more money, "It's for our kids".
---
L-E headline: "Boy or girl? * Simple test early in pregnancy raises ethical concerns" -- The ethical concern raised is how can the "Pro-Choice" element argue about a fetus' time line? The gender of a fetus is determined at about 5 weeks, and now man can know this a relatively short time after that. Maybe it will take the casualness out of aborting a baby when it will be now known as a boy baby or girl baby, and names can be discussed for such.
