Online headline: "White House: Obama Presses Congress On Quick Jobs Action" -- Is this guy unbelievable or not (and I'm not just talking about the fact he's not believable as a rule)? While vacationing on an elitist vacation compound, potUS O'Blather casually mentions that in a couple of weeks he's gonna hit us with a game CHANGing bit of job HOPE plan, but now he wants Congress to speed it up. How can this guy be even a contender in DIM&DUMBERat ranks?

Online headline: "Obama, Democrats Losing Key Support" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought George Soros had sent a check to the "Re-elect Bush" campaign.

From L-E column: "We do maintain our city property,” Goodwin said. “We do go in and cut our rights of way and other property a few times a year.” -- Hmmm, maybe the 'weeds' are actually a City required buffer zone so that the Library is muffled from the sounds of gunfire in adjoining neighborhoods?

L-E headline: "Roman gladiator school in Austria unique" -- Who are the students... the 2012 ACORN voter registration team?

One thing perfectly clear was that neither Crowell or Jones could keep there helmets on Saturday night. All those dreadlocks must have a negative effect on helmet fit...perhaps some Velcro might help.

Online story: "SACRAMENTO – A prominent Democratic campaign treasurer who works for federal, state and O.C. lawmakers including U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Rep. Loretta Sanchez and state legislators Lou Correa and Jose Solorio has been arrested by the FBI on suspicion of mail fraud, The Orange County Register has learned. * State Sen. Lou Correa told the Register on Saturday afternoon that he was called by the FBI late Friday night and told that Durkee had been arrested and that he is a likely victim along with “many, many other victims.” The Santa Ana Democrat said he believes he has lost “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in campaign funds. * Federal Election Commission records show that Durkee is the treasurer for Feinstein and Sanchez, who could not be reached Saturday. California Secretary of State records show she currently serves as the treasurer for at least 113 state-level committees * Durkee has had enforcement actions taken against her four times by the state Fair Political Practices Commission, primarily for failing to report transactions or information." -- Guess Durkee has "earned her wings" to be the next Financial Tsar for potUS O'Blather's upcoming job speech.

L-E headline/story: "Tea party bulling its way into race * That’s much to the delight of Democrats who are working to paint the tea party and the eventual Republican nominee as extreme." -- Well, it's also 'much to the delight' of the actually working American voters. American taxpayers are looking for some 'extreme' solutions!

Open letter to Tim Echols in response to his L-E response:
Taking your family at your expense (you are prorating the room costs, I assume) is OK with me.
What I don't like is the fact that when GA Power spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising ways to cut our energy costs and usage, the PSC will allow GA Power to claim those expenses for the need of a rate increase, and the PSC will compensate GA Power with rate increase because people actually took the ad messages to heart and lowered their energy usage.
I want to hear every PSC candidate pledge that if customers use less energy, then GA Power needs to cut back on its own expenses rather than be given a rate hike as compensation.
One thing that will work is for GA Power to follow its own advice: Set it's thermostats in every corporate office to 80 in the Spring and Summer, and 64 in the Fall and Winter months. After all, that will average out to a steady 72 degrees year long.

L-E story: "“One of the only things the state can do to directly stimulate the economy is bonding projects,” said Alan Essig, head of the liberal-leaning Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. * “The governor is trying to be fiscally conservative, but in the long run he is hurting the economy rather than helping,” he said. * Not surprisingly, Deal disagrees." -- And that's why Georgians elected Deal versus a DIM&DUMBERat! Liberals are quick to spend other people's money; it's an even bigger ponzi scheme that even Bernie Madoff could conjure up.

Can you imagine Lacey Schwimmer and Chas Bono dancing to, and doing a duet of "I got you, babe" on DWTS?

Another 'alert' from a fellow BCer: "HERE IS SOME MORE OF YOUR “HOPE AND CHANGE” * WASHINGTON — US officials have approved the distribution of a gay-themed magazine at Army and Air Force bases for the first time, coinciding with the end of a ban on openly gay troops, according to activists. * The upcoming edition will feature photos and biographies of nearly 100 service members who will be openly acknowledging their sexual orientation, the magazine said on its website on Friday." -- This just reinforces why "DADT" came into existence, it why it will be reactivated in the future. Most heterosexuals don't judge a man/woman's worth on their sexual preference, but most of us detest even heterosexuals who thrust their se-xxx-ual activities in our faces!
