L-E headline/story: "Mayor Teresa Tomlinson threatens legal action against Decatur Court property owners if crime-ridden complex isn't cleaned up" -- Hmmm, which will she be...Mayor Obamalinson (talk-the-talk) or Mayor Tomlinson (walk-the-walk)? Right off the bat, I did notice she mentioned but one landlord, but another Decatur Court apartment complex landlord was omitted...Chastain Properties.

Of course, Council could buy those Decatur Court apartments at an outrageous price and turn it into an "Enterprise Zone", and sit back as having addressed & solved the problem.

The Republicans have 4 candidates that you have to look at...Gingrich, Romney, Palin and Perry. Gingrich, Romney, and Palin have to be looked at twice. Perry has a successful run as a current governor making him mighty attractive though not as well known name wise. Newt.. I blame him for much of our current economic condition (even more than potUS O'Blather because we EXPECTED O'Blather to be inept). After leading the 94 Contract with America, Newt abandoned the movement in 1998, and by 2000, there were enough Republican Congresspersons acting like DIM&DUMBERats
that voters started sending them home; unfortunately replacing them with REAL D&D's. Romney could have been our current president, and we'd never know how bad potUS O'Blather is. Romney backed out of the 2008 race because I think he felt Princess Clinton would be the D&D nominee, and he didn't think any Republican could beat her in November, so he left McCain to be the slaughtered. Romney could have beaten O'Blather because the public was well aware of his economic prowess. Then there's Palin... quitting her term as Governor of Alaska just damaged all the credibility she had as a 2012 candidate. It's Perry's to lose.

Liberals "soundoff": "Are there no Democrats worthy to be invited to the Cunningham Center? Just curious." -- Answer: Not any we want to influence the future of this country!

L-E's "Thought for Today": “Anything you’re good at contributes to happiness.” — Bertrand Russell, English mathematician-philosopher (1872-1970). " -- Hmmm, no wonder potUS O'Blather is miserable, and America is unhappy.

There are 19 "Expressing Appreciation" items on Council's agenda Tuesday for various city employees upon their retirement. There are 0 resolutions expressing appreciation for the taxpayers.
---
How ironic that the government is going to be expressing appreciation of its 19 retirees and expressing condolences for the deaths of 9 former employees at about the same time as Sam Rawls will be remembered across the street. Bet there will be plenty of room in Council chambers.

In light of a new century, it probably was a good time and a good thing for Ole Miss to change its nickname/mascot, BUT after all that time, you'd think anyone could come up with a name other than the 'black bears'. The gopher from Caddy Shack would have been better.

It's Labor Day Weekend! For some, it signals the last chance (though not here) to frolic before school starts; to some, it's a moment to celebrate the opportunityies God has provided; to some, it's the opening of football and dove seasons; to some, it's a reminder they haven't worked for the past 12 months. Remember all in prayer.

UGA got penalized on its first offensive play. I honestly believe that the referee threw the flag on those ugly and OFFENSIVE uniforms.
---
I first wondered why Nike didn't make special "combat uniforms" for its home state Oregon Ducks, BUT how could NIke make any new uniform that was uglier than what the O-Ducks were already planning to wear?
---
Speaking of "u-g-l-y". how about them Boise State orange & blue shoes? man, even the Florida Gators wouldn't wear those!
---
Between UGA's uniforms and Boise State's shoes, I spent most of the night trying to adjust the color balance of my TV. My TV will never be the same.
