Online headline/story: "St. Louis, Missouri Public School Principal Faked Attendance Records, Audit Shows * By last year, the 270-student school had risen to the top of the list for high attendance among St. Louis elementary schools -- with a reported attendance rate of 97.3 percent. That attendance figure increased more than 12 percent in the time that Veal was at the school between 2007 and 2010 * The inflated records could have helped the school meet Adequate Yearly Progress requirements mandated by the federal No Child Left Behind act, and could have earned the school more funding -- but there's no way to be sure with a weak computer program and missing files. The district can receive about $20 per student per day in state funding, according to figures by the Federal Education Budget Project." -- ??? $20.00 per day state funds? Hmmm $20.00 times 180 schooldays equals $3,600.00 annually per student. How does that compare to MCSD? Hmm, from a 2008 MCSD website (Muscogee County School District | Columbus, GA | Education.com ), MCSD spent $9,994.00 per pupil. BTW, in 2008, a private school we used had a tuition of about $5,500.00 per student.

Despite participation by the potUS O'Blather administration, Alabama's new illegal immigration law pretty much withstood a court challenge. My questions are: What part of 'illegal alien' doesn't the O'Blather team see as 'illegal'?, and What part of the 10th Amendment of our Constitution do they not understand?

From the 'something's not right' department - L-E story: "With 11 of its 17 members present, the commission redrawing the boundaries of Columbus’ eight council districts voted Wednesday to adopt a computer-generated map that brings each district close to the optimum population of 22,740, plus or minus 5 percent. * The optimum number of 22,740 comes from dividing the city’s 181,917 residents by the eight districts." -- The 2010 Census pegged Columbus with 189,885 Columbusites.... Hmmm, one of two things must have happened: Either the ACORN recruiters were hired to take the Census count, or the Census used the DIM&DUMBERat's eligible voter list which included a cemetery or two.

Online headline: "Al Qaeda Blasts Iran President's 'Ridiculous' Statement" -- How could anyone single out any one an Ahmadine-JIHAD statement as being more 'ridiculous' than any other of his statements?

Online story: "It’s as if Solyndra never happened. The Obama Administration is giving $737 million to a Tonopah Solar, a subsidiary of California-based SolarReserve. PCG is an investment partner with SolarReserve. Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law happens to be the number two man at PCG." -- Solyndra wasn't bad enough?

Online headline: "Obama tells Hispanic roundtable he can’t fix immigration alone" -- Really? It seems like he's fixed his own birth certificate problem, and he's fixed his Auntie's and Uncle's immigration problems, but now, all of a sudden, he's helpless?

There's a vitamin advertising itself as "gummies for grownups". Obviously a campaign triggered by the growth of dumbing down school criteria for the past two decades.

Is it ironic...or maybe even prophetic, that both potUS O'Blather and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadine-Jihad are having contests to get Americans to buy an opportunity to have dinner with them?

Follow-up: Went to the website given to enter the eat-with-potus-O'Blather without donating, filled out the form, but couldn't submit it without making a donation. Even when checking "other" $.00, it would not let me enter the contest...potUS O'Blather, as Representative Wilson R-SC cried out, "You Lie!".

You have to watch this.. A GWU law student protesting on Wall Street rants about 'that bank" took his parents home. Only problem is that his parents still live there, and their mortgage is almost paid off. See what going to college can do for our future? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yZZ710w6GXI
