L-E headline: "Columbus GA Columbus post offices may move mail operations" -- Hiuh? I thought our mail was already being processed in Macon...

The Expedia case is a blackeye for the City. There is no reason for this to be civil case to begin with except with the City being a plaintiff, it has allowed a group of lawyers to go for big legal fee bucks. If Expedia has not reported and turned in the sales and occupancy taxes it is required to charge and collect, then it is a simple criminal case that should be being handled by the GA Department of Revenue and the GA DA's office.

Yesterday, I received an e-mail from a very dear friend, a Major in our US Army, asking for advice on hotels/motels for an upcoming trip back to Ft Benning in mid-October. He could not find online info on Columbus hotels/motels.

Looks like Native American Cherokees are removing African-Americans who cannot prove by DNA that they have Cherokee blood from the benefits list. Would love to be in the 'war room' as Sharpton, Jackson, and the NAACP discuss their claims of racism.

I went to www.attackwatch.com , potUS O'Blather's newest campaign website, and to enter, I had to give my e-mail address. This AM I got an e-mail from Jim Messina, Campaign Manager. Jim says, "Now forget everything you know about politics. * Because I can tell you that the next 14 months will be like nothing you've seen from a campaign. If we're going to win, we have to be tougher, smarter, and more innovative than ever before." -- It ain't politics Messina is going to have to hope voters forget; it's potUS O'Blather's and the DIM&DUMBERats' policies he's going to have to hope the voters forget.

Until the school system stops preaching that poverty is a legitimate excuse for bad grades rather than touting education is a tool that can stop the cycle of poverty, nothing will change. Students of any environment, especially from one of poverty, will not learn if the teachers approach teaching as a "you can't learn because..." venture rather than a positive "you can" attitude.

Question for your MCSD representative: How much money was projected to be spent handling the 4,000+ BRAC students, and how much can now be saved now that the projected impact did not occur?
