Until 2009, America was the "HOPE" of the world; if you can say nothing else about potUS O'Blather and the DIM&DUMBERats of the day, they did "CHANGE" that. How's "HOPE & CHANGE" working for you now?

There's a protest happening on Wall Street in NYC focused on 'debt'. Right idea, but the protesters should be at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, and at the ballot box in November.

Here we go again...DIM&DUMBERats are voting against the pending "continuous resolution" to keep the government from shutting down. Not because they are against spending more money, but only because the Republicans are wanting to reduce the SOLYNDRA-type loan program to car makers and their union labor force.

Oh, thanks to a tip from a fellow BCer for calling my attention to this: potUS O'Blather told us he'd campaigned on all of our 57 states during the 2008 campaign, and now he says he wants to build "an Intercontinental Railway". That's right, INTERCONTINENTAL! Wonder if he'll build it running on the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean sea beds, whether he'll just build bridges across them?

Out of work teachers are now carping about not being able to find a job...wonder how they feel about the students they taught not being able to find any, also? It's a vicious and troubled cycle.

MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts said, "I get out of all of these things that many of these ( Republican) candidates would rather take legislation to build a time machine and go back in time to where we had no women voting, slavery was cool," -- well, mr Roberts, it might be very symbolic you feel that way, since Republicans freed the slaves then, and are needed again to free those enslaved by government welfare programs of today. Other than that, why is this man still holding a microphone?

Online headline: "Obama, Clinton Golf Together" -- Remember the joke about the golfers who 'yell FORE, make a six, then write down a five'? Who wants to bet that both of them shot the rounds of their life?

If proponents of ending GA's death penalty are doing so out of the Troy Davis situation, then let them start by filing criminal and civil lawsuits against the witnesses who swore under oath that Davis was the one, but now recant their testimony. If there are any teeth to what they claim now, then there are perjury crimes, and an unlawful death charge they should be accountable for. If the proponents aren't taking that route, ythen they should stop any other actions.

I think the whitewater project is wonderful, but do have to wonder if creating enhanced rapids (versus what was naturally there before the various dams controlled the flow) is somewhat defeating the goal of restoring the Chattahoochee to it old ecosystem.

L-E's "Thought for Today": "It is as fatal as it is cowardly to blink (at) facts because they are not to our taste. -- John Tyndall, English physicist (1820-1893) -- Hmmm.. looks like we have a visionary who foresaw the evolution to 'political correctness' and the formation of CNN, MSNBC, MoveON.org, and the ACLU.
---
L-E's "Quotable": "You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." -- Now here's a truth that potUS O'Blather needs to have scrolling on his TelePrompters, and emblazoned on every one of his re-election advertisings!
