Online headline: "Herman Cain Sexual Harassment Accusations: GOP Presidential Candidate Denies Politico Report " -- Sorta reminiscent of the Anita Hill allegations spurred on by Ted Kennedy and Company to derail Clarence Thomas. Must be that DIM&DUMBERats hate successful black men.
---
Online headline: "Historic Snowstorm Could Leave Millions Without Power" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought someone was rehashing the effect of the 2010 elections stripping the DIM&DUMBERats of carte blanc.
---
Online headline: "Obama Adviser Says Romney Lacks Key Presidential Quality" -- How would anyone close to potUS O'Blather even know what qualities a real president must have?
---
Watching footage on the NE snow storm has to make you wonder that since heavy snow is such an annual issue up there, then why haven't the power companies ever buried the power lines rather than constantly having to repair/rehang them every time a snow storm/freeze hits the area? It's probably a simple answer such as unions not wanting to give up the jobs that would not be necessary if the lines were buried.

Watching a Chantix ad is dumbfounding. Chantix says straight out that you may feel suicidal when taking ir OR if you quit taking it. Well, if you kill yourself, I guess Chantix can claim you DID quit smoking, so its product is successful.
---
potUS O'Blather's "Jobs Plan" cannot workecause it consists of getting those with jobs working harder to pay more taxes to support those who aren't really looking for a job because that would cause gthem to have to pay taxes.
---
potUS O'Blather, VPOTUS Biden-Biden, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi all have the same leadership problem. They point the finger of blame at everyone but themselves.
---
potUS O'Blather was just handed a temporary solution for his new "Jobs Plan". He's planning on the inheritance taxes from Steve Job's estate to pay for the gasoline for his Jobs Plan campaign buses.
---
Radical Islamists fired missles from the Gaza Strip into Israel this weekend. I guess missiles are the 21st Century Jihadists' form of "peace doves".
---
Errant thought L-E "soundoff": "President Obama reached a compromise with Congress for trick-or-treat. Obama will work the left side of the street and Congress the right." _ WRONG! When looking to take candy or money, potUS O'Blather and Congress all work the working side of the street, then pass out what they've collected to the other side.

it's almost comical that bicyclists are complaining that the Bike Trail crossings at Miller and Hilton roads are 'hazardous'. That, and being a nuisance to all car traffic, were the reasons the rail system was closed/abandoned in the fiorat place, and the reopening as a Bike Trail has brought both proiblems back into the light.
---
L-E story: "Iran's parliament is set to summon President Mahmoud Ahmandinejad for questioning over an economic scandal and hispolicies after the required number of lawmakers signed a petition Sunday, the latest salve in a long battle between the president and his rivals" -- Hmmm, I'll bet Ahmandine-JIHAD wishes he'd pushed legislation based on the American principle that one is 'considered innocent until PROVEN guilty'.
---
Herman Cain can actually feel proud that other politicos and the mainstream media are digging into his past accomplishments. After all, he's a rarity in the field of politics; he actually has accomplishments for people to dig into.
---
Online headline/story: "Gaddafi's Killer Will Be Prosecuted When Caught, Libya's Interim Government Says * Abdel Hafiz Ghoga, deputy chief of the National Transitional Council (NTC), said that anyone proven to have shot and killed Gaddafi would be brought to justice." -- Wait a minute! That sounds more like the guy will get a reward by Islamic standards .. perhaps a margin loan of a few virgins before he dies?
---
The "Occupy Wall Street 99percenters" would really have something to talk about if the 1percenters decide to take their 'ball' and just go home. No wonder we have so many liberals in politics; they only have to get half of the voters that are complaining about their sorry lives.

e headline: "Halloween 2011: Obama, Michelle Hand Out Candy To White House Trick-Or-Treaters" -- Oh, Halloween's 'OK', but he doesn't want to observe the "National Day of Prayer". Guess it's a DIM&DUMBERat thing (give-away programs versus personal responsibility and sacrifice), Christians wouldn't understand.
---
Speaking of Halloween, Broadway in Columbus was teeming with hobgoblins late yesterday afternoon. They were everywhere, thicker than gnats in South GA. For the most part, it was wonderful. There was one situation that did bother me a bit. That was the Metro Boys&Girls Clubs having a 'station' giving away candy and pencils and such. It bothers me that publicly funded program would be spending/giving away its resources to non-program needs.
---
Online story: "Michael Moore has a message for Republicans: just because he's wealthy doesn't mean he can't stand with those angry with America's economic system." -- Hypocrite! Only the malcontents "Occupying" actually go to see his movies, and his presence is a greedy attempt at making a movie about them that they will pay money to go see.
---
The Program to End Homelessness....Oh, for about $200,000.00, we can hire an Executive Director and maybe an Executive Assistant. Look the program is already working. There's two people who will no longer be homeless.... until the money runs out, or Council puts them on the city payroll.

L-E headline/story: "Columbus State University recruiting heavily outside area, raising standards * It also appears to be the right decision for Columbus State University, which actively is recruiting more academically sound, greater Atlanta-area students. As the university’s fall enrollment holds steady at just above 8,300 students, about 60 percent of this year’s freshman applicants hail from areas covered by the Atlanta television market" -- Raising standards? After looking at the posted current standards,and after following the current cheating scandal in Atlanta, it really makes you wonder about how bad our local education is. Besides, if CSU was interested in raising standards, it would have kept Frank Brown from retiring, not brought in Mescon.
---
Another disturbing fact about CSU is that only 40% of the current students are from Muscogee County (and this years number is lower than last years), and if you combine the local area counties, barely half the students are from the area.
---
Liberal mantra L-E "soundoff": "Why is it that my Republican Party is so keen on carrying guns in virtually all public places and so keen on restricting voter registrations?" -- Liberals are so anal retentive. Guns and voting are both US Constitutionally endowed and protected. Our forefathers were so concerned about voting that they laid out specific requirements then gave every American unfettered rights to own a gun to protect those voting requirements.
---
L-E ad: "When Saturday starts with the sniffles . . . come to Columbus Regional Urgent Care Center," -- For years, hospitals have complained that people with sniffles clog up their urgent/emergency rooms, and now they are advertising for new clients? Guess MedicAid has a new program to pay for Tylenol at the $10.00 per tablet that regular hospitals charge.
---
Another L-E ad: "When You Want The Absolute Best For Your Pet. Pet Cremation Services..... -- Personally, I think being alive and breathing is best, but then who knew "I could have had a Crem-8!"

I thought the UGA "combat" uniforms that they wore for the first game were the ugliest things I'd ever seen, but Kentucky's wins hands down. Instead of "Go Big Blue", they should be chanting "go ig Bruise".

Online Quote site: "Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?'" - Brian Tracy " -- This should the National Campaign motto of the DIM&DUMBERats... no, on second thought, it should be put in every Conservative's ad to highlight the differences between what's good for the country's future versus the 'feed me' mantra of DIM&DUMBERats.
---
L-E story: "Sacramento, CA - Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi has been charged with felony grand theft after allegedly being caught by security officers stealing nearly $2,500 in clothing from a San Francisco Nieman-Marcus store. -- She shoulda waited until after Thanksgiving for the sales, and it would probably been worth less than $100 and considered only a misdemeanor.
---
L-E's "Quotable": "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." - Oscar Wilde, Irish dramatist and poet (1854-1900)" -- Bet this was published in every Irish newspaper and scribbled on every Irish pub's bathroom wall the day before potUS O'Blather left Ireland.
---
Occupy Atlanta protesters took over the MLK Memorial site, and are claiming their involvement is one of civil rights. What a blow to the dreams of Dr King!
---
From a L-E story about Atlanta being the #1 city in income disparity. "Authorities say possible explanations include the city's large number of college students, who often have no income." -- Another possible, no, probable answer is the number of DIM&DUMBERat voters living off the government teat.
---
Once again, I'd like to see Herman Cain as the next Vice President. For two reasons: first, it would mean O'Blather bin Biden have suffered the pains of eviction so many Americans have faced while they were in office, but mainly because, I'd love to see him presiding over the US Senate like a CEO.

From the 'oh, well, it's normal for California" department - Online headline/story: "1,000 California Foster Care Homes Match Sex Offender Addresses: Report * A new audit of the California foster care system has revealed that over 1,000 foster home addresses match those of registered sex offenders, according to the Los Angeles Times. * It seems that child welfare official failed to compare the addresses even after they were told to do so in 2008. According to the Sacramento Bee, about 600 of the highlighted offenders were considered high risk." -- Well, I guess since California sees its Congresspersons doing it to the nation all the time, this is a yawner.
---
Can you believe the ruckus/indignation the mainstream media has given Herman Cain for using a smoker in a campaign add? Where is this concerned media when it reports that cigarette taxes are earmarked for government health programs, or when Madonna struts across a stage or video wearing lingerie and puffing cigarettes, or when potUS O'Blather lights one up?
---
Online story: "Linda Wall, a conservative independent Virginia candidate for the House of Delegates, admitted on Wednesday that she had an affair with a female student as a junior high gym teacher in the early 1970s, but said she has changed. * The student was a minor at the time, meaning Wall could still be prosecuted if she comes forward." -- Well, this would be another 'yawner' in California, and being a professed "conservative' would be a worse label than 'child molester' as far as her chances at be elected.
---
Online headline: "Clinton Outperforming Obama In Surprising Poll" -- "Surprising"? To whom? And I'll bet not one conservative independent or Republican was included in the poll.
---
A "Ma Beachie Casino" in Columbus? Richard Hyatt has crossed the line, a state line, at that.
---
Online headline: "4-foot-9 Running Back Playing Major College Ball" -- One question...How do you 'hit him low'?

potUS O'Blather wants to eat his cake and have it, too. After blasting 'the rich' about paying more taxes, he went to Hollywood, hat-in-hand, to beg for campaign funds from the A-List. Why didn't he ask 'them' to send check to the US Treasury as volunteer taxes rather than lining his own pockets?
---
From what should be 'only in California' department but it's not: "Seven-Year-Old Boy Invited To Join Girl Scouts After Rejection" -- Californiaitis has worked its way East to Colorado. No wonder potUS O'Blather was campaigning fund raising there.

Online "TIMELY" Quote site: "One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests." - Peter Marshall" -- Hope this runs across all the marquis sign boards in Times and Herald Squares so the Occupy Wall Street 99%ers can see this constantly.

Speaking of Occupy Wall Street, rumor has it that Michael Moore is set to do another mockumentary based on the protesters in the park. Working title is thought to be, "Animal Farm 2011".

L-E story: "Copper thefts in Columbus have dropped 47 percent since May, when the city’s Copper Theft Task Force was formed, Mayor Teresa Tomlinson announced today." -- Yeah, but only because the easy 'hits' have all been made and firms are being more observant...unless, of course, you count the MCSD.
---
L-E "soundoff" of merit: "United Way is too top-heavy in administrative salaries for Columbus Council to be giving them our money. I thought United Way was a non-profit organization dependent upon donations, not city government." -- Not my words, but they speak for me. Council should be the leaders in getting city employees to give their "Fair Share", but it's not "fair" to donate tax dollars from those who also donated their 'Fair Share". It's double dipping.
---
L-E headline: "White House challenges McClatchy story, but provides no facts to counter it " -- DOH! Name anything, at anytime, that the White House has supported with something other than rhetoric?

NYCC...New York City College? Nope, New York Communities for Change! ACORN has re-emerged with a new name, but the same goals. ACORN, now calling it self NYCC, is out soliciting funds, purportedly for Occupy Wall Street, but whatcha wanna bet don't get much further than their own pocketrs?

L-E "headlie": "Obama announces help for student loan borrowers" -- 'Help" is when you do something for others at your own expense, not with other peoples money. Hey Council, remember this when doling out tax dollars to charities!

Online headline/story: "President Obama Talks Reality TV, Ignoring the GOP Field on 'The Tonight Show' * I am probably a little biased against reality TV," he admitted. "Partly because there's this program on C-SPAN called Congress." -- What really turned him off from reality TV was the coverage of the 2010 election night results.
---
WRBL3 headline: "City Council asks for congressional help keeping Columbus post office running" -- Reminds me of the farmer who hired the fox to guard the henhouse.
---
L-E headline: "Change is not always a bad thing" -- Unless that's all you have left after the tax bills go out. Change may not always be a 'bad thing', but doing things over and over expecting the same results is one definition of insanity.
---
From L-E story on the Post Office situation: “The changes they’re talking about would affect 50 jobs in Columbus,” Tomlinson said. “You known how hard we work to get a business that brings 50 new jobs to town, and we have to work equally as hard to save 50 jobs that are already in town.” -- Typical liberal! When the Chamber brings a new business to town, even with tax incentives, the new business is not tax exempt like the PO (or CSU expansion for that matter)!
---
L-E headline/story: "Councilors pass $195,000 plan to end homelessness * Councilor Skip Henderson proposed an amendment that would remove that (block grant) contingency, to show the city's commitment to the plan" -- What that really showed is that the taxpayer is not the entity that needs to be committed! What I want to know is what is the exit plan when it become obvious that this plan is akin to chasing rainbows.
---
Typical liberal "soundoff" slant: "If you like the taxes on the rich who pay less then (sic) their help *Buffet), won't they find a way to pay even less? Changing tax laws is the answer." -- While I can agree that changing tax laws is AN answer, I don't think Buffet's secretary paid over $6,000,000.00 in taxes.

---
L-E headline: "Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport * Terminal could create 2,000 jobs" -- Excuse me, but without another runway addition, the things this will create are 2,000 unnecessary jobs, higher airport expenses, higher ticket costs, higher airport operating losses, and a bigger burden on the taxpayers.
---
L-E "headlie": "Obama to offer student loan relief" -- What liberal BS. potUS O'Blather isn't doing anything but artificially keeping university professors' salaries high, perpetuatiing inflation/dollar devaluation, and deepening the debt on the private sector taxpayers.

The Breakfast Club - October 25, 2011
Online story: " A federal judge temporarily blocked Florida's new law that requires welfare applicants to pass a drug test before receiving benefits on Monday, saying it may violate the Constitution's ban on unreasonable searches and seizures. * Judge Mary Scriven ruled in response to a lawsuit filed on behalf of a 35-year-old Navy veteran and single father who sought the benefits while finishing his college degree, but refused to take the test." -- This is why the average citizen, no, the average taxpayer is suspect of the federal government (and why the 9th & 10th Amendments were constructed by our forefathers). When a person applies for taxpayer funded benefits, the taxpayers deserve to know that there is a more than reasonable chance that the recipient of such benefits is not supporting a drug habit.
---

All of a sudden, 25% of value is up in smoke, and the original mortgage company (or the investment purchaser) is left holding the bag for that money, which means everyone who is paying their mortgages responsibly are getting shafted by paying off their mortgage which will be worth less when its paid off. Impeach Barney Frank!

Guess he's not going to run for re-election next year; he's campaigning to be appointed head of the UN!

I have no idea what that is (nor knew such existed), but Sudfed works for me, and since we have to produce an ID and sign a 'log' for such purposes, why can't I get some when I need/want some? I always wondered how much money the ID/signature procedure costs and how effective it was, and now we see it is just a waste of dollars and time.

Why does Council think they should donate excess inventory, like the "pursuit vehicle bar lights" to CSU? It would be one thing if CSU paid property taxes to cover city services for CPD, CFD, and road repair services, but CSU is 'exempt' from such. Put the aforementioned 'pursuit vehicle bar lights' up for bids so all qualified police/fire/private security departments around the area/country can set a price for the worth, and if CSU is the high bidder, so be it. Another question: If another police service wants the 'pursuit vehicle bar lights', why are we buying new ones?

So V-POTUS Biden-Biden has to lie about crime figures to make his point seem valid, but what would make more people feel safer on a permanent vs temporary basis, cost less than hiring more police, and creating real private sector jobs in this country?
It's rather simple, actually. For $30 Billion, government could provide a $300 handgun (equipped with a GPS chip for tracking) to 100 Million households that don't have a resident with a violent criminal record, and even homeless that don't have violent criminal records. It would also create American jobs because you make American manufacturers bid on making the guns here in America!
Shoot, this oughta win me the Nobel 'PIECE' Prize for this year, with at least a runner-up prize in economics.

Steve Jobs is getting his last jabs in through his biography. Not only did he display his vision for the future by telling potUS O'Blather that he 'was headed for a one-term presidency, he nailed the education woes on the head, saying it was "crippled by union work rules," noted (Biographer Walter)Isaacson. "Until the teachers' unions were broken, there was almost no hope for education reform." -- Better sell off your Apple stock now, liberals will turn on Apple now that Jobs has revealed what he really thought.

There go the odds on getting a much needed major drugstore or grocery store in Downtown.

It's a sign of his inexperience...potUS O'Blather is trying to reassure Americans, especially the mainstream media, that he is on the job and making the 'right' decisions. Never having made a payroll, never having to adjust a business to the changing economy makes him blinded to what decision making is about. Decisions need to be made based on whether it is 'good' based on what facts you have available at the time, and when new facts come forward, you can adjust that decision if necessary. If you make a decision because you think it's 'right', then you will only digest new 'facts' based on whether they support your decision.

At the halfway point in the current SPLOST collection period a couple of months ago, I asked the MCSD board chair to publicly address the issue of the shortfall of the SPLOST revenues as they apply to the construction list presented at the SPLOST campaign. After recently noting that too many issues are now being addressed at 'work sessions' prior to public meetings, I can't wonder but what we are going to have thrown into the mix at the last minute. The SPLOST revenue period is almost finished with its 3rd year, and if projects aren't eliminated, we could, no, we will be stuck with projects in progress and heavy debt to boot. Contact board members and demand answers.

It's a sign of his inexperience...potUS O'Blather is trying to reassure Americans, especially the mainstream media, that he is on the job and making the 'right' decisions. Never having made a payroll, never having to adjust a business to the changing economy makes him blinded to what decision making is about. Decisions need to be made based on whether it is 'good' based on what facts you have available at the time, and when new facts come forward, you can adjust that decision if necessary. If you make a decision because you think it's 'right', then you will only digest new 'facts' based on whether they support your decision.

At the halfway point in the current SPLOST collection period a couple of months ago, I asked the MCSD board chair to publicly address the issue of the shortfall of the SPLOST revenues as they apply to the construction list presented at the SPLOST campaign. After recently noting that too many issues are now being addressed at 'work sessions' prior to public meetings, I can't wonder but what we are going to have thrown into the mix at the last minute. The SPLOST revenue period is almost finished with its 3rd year, and if projects aren't eliminated, we could, no, we will be stuck with projects in progress and heavy debt to boot. Contact board members and demand answers.

Disillusioned liberal "soundoff": _ You people (note: hey, isn't that a racist term!) who support trickle-down economics, wake up, look around. Proud of what we've become? -- Sorry, buddy, but this is the condition brought on by the DIM&DUMBERats; 'trickle-up poverty' plan.

Occupy Wall Street - No wonder potUS O'Blather is out promoting it...it has taken the media away from "fast & furious", sending armed troops in to Uganda, the transition of Libya, and actually having a 'jobs plan' that can be read.

The spot price for copper is $3.31 per pound...if the amount of copper wire stolen from the MCSD was valued at $122,000.00, wouldn't that mean that the MCSD had 36,858 pounds (over 18 Tons) of unneeded copper wiring (a.k.a. wasted tax dollars) lying around in an unsecured quonset hut? There needs to be some 'splaining.
---
Let's parse the copper theft. If the 10 rolls of wire weighed 35 pounds each, that would be 350 pounds. There were also 40 boxes of copper wire stolen/missing that were not detailed as to weight. If we subtract the weight of the 10 rolls (a stated 350 pounds) from 36,858 pounds, we have 36,508 pounds, and if we divide the 36,508 pounds by the 40 boxes missing, then each box of copper weighed in at over 912 pounds each. Either the accused had some help and a fork lift, or the total dollar value has been overstated, or someone in the school system is trying to cover up some discrepancy in what the inventory value should be. I don't think this can be dismissed as a 'new math' error.

From an un-bylined feature of the L-E: "Talk about spooky. * The process to fill the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit judgeship vacated by Doug Pullen resumes on Halloween, an appropriate date considering how Pullen left office -- during a Judicial Qualifications Commission misconduct investigation." -- What a crappy piece of "journalism"! Being whipped by a strand of wet spaghetti is too good for the anonymous (_@_) on 'the staff' who penned that. May the alleged journalist be strung up on a limb at an oak on Toomer's Corner while little children throw unwanted Halloween candy at him!

Herman Cain for Vice President! Regardless of who is president, I'd like Herman Cain to preside over the U.S. Senate. Can you imagine earmarks being slipped into bills with Herman Cain in charge?

The L-E reports that some $122,000.00 worth of copper wire is missing. Is this the same school system that has subbed out the security camera installations? Why would that much copper wire be accumulated for normal maintenance projects?
---
Obviously the copper rolls couldn't be taken out by the windows, so why did it take from October 3 to October 14th before someone knew the wire was missing? Wouldn't a door have to have been opened, and isn't there some kind of alarm system on at least the doors?
---
Update on copper wire theft:
Picture above is an L-E photo of where where $122,000.00 of copper wire was kept on school district grounds. Sorta looks as secure as us using our out back storage sheds to hold our svaings accounts. The wire had been stored there since 1998 following a wiring project adding computer plugs to classrooms. I know the copper wire wasn't worth $122,000.00 in 1998, but is was of considerable value then, but why wasn't that much excess sold off? Just the fact that this much wire is, uh, 'was' still around testifies to poor inventory management.

It was funny, no pretty sad actually, to hear the spokesperson for the US Communist Party say they would not put a candidate in the 2012 election, because they already have a candidate they can get behind. Hmmm, would that be Rand Paul, or Newt, or Mitt, or Gov Perry....or are they just satisfied with potUS O'Blather?

Straight from barackobama.com: "Americans deserve a leader who takes the job seriously." -- Yeah, instead of one who prefers golf and bowling, and he'd be better off, well, we would be better off, if he were golfing and bowling rather than hanging on to his day job.

WTVM9 headline: "Obama on NC, VA bus tour: 'I'm the president'" -- And under his breath, he probably muttered, "I don't have a clue", and the crowd probably thought, 'hmmm, great Halloween costume'.

Where are the liberal media on Islamic hate and intolerance crimes committed in this country? If a conservative father killed his daughter because some teen boy looked at her wrong, liberals would be outraged. If a conservative carved a Star of David into the back of a Muslim poet, liberals would be livid! These are Muslim on Muslims crimes that happened in America...try to find a liberal operation that acknowledges them. Or is it just "a Muslim thing...you wouldn't understand"?

The PSC and GA Power are going after our money....again! Now "they" want to charge everyone "up to a nickle a month" (I guess instead of a 'nickle and dime us' fee) to build more solar projects. There's a "Solyndra' joke in here somewhere, but more realistically, why is the PSC allowing any GA Power rate increases to build more power source, when GA Power is asking for higher rates to offset that consumers are using less power?

Just an observation, but watching Fox last night shows that Newt is confident, hitting the gym, and pushing back from the table before desserts are served. He's always had the best answers, but now he's working on being likeable.

If there is anything that needs a complete 'overturn' it's the GA Supreme Court...just on the basis of unnecessary waste of tax dollars used in retrials over imagined technicalities! Whatta they smokin'?

Election suggestion: Let's go back to electing the VP like it used to done. Let who ever comes in second in the presidential election be the VP.

The "Occupy Columbus" met at a coffee shop yesterday. Ironic isn't it, that after going to college and spending their parents or student loan money on $5.00 lattes, that students who can't get jobs because their degrees weren't specific enough to qualify them for real jobs, are out protesting that jobs available 'suck' because they cannot afford spending their own money/allowances on $5.00 lattes that they became used to having when spending their parents money/student loans, and now, they are faced with paying back the loans .

Bush's Fault? I'm sure Jay Carney will be out spinning a tale that says it's Bush's Fault that potUS O'Blather is such a warmonger. The stepped up war in Afghanistan, Libya, and now potUS O'Blather is sending 100 troops into central African countries of Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And how would you loike to be one of only 100 soldiers sent out to offer support against ruthless guerilla fighters 'in an advisory' capacity. Does potUS O'Blather think the guerillas will know, even care, that the soldiers are there to talk rather than shoot? On the other hand, if he's sending in someone to talk the guerillas into submission, why doesn't he just fly in himself? Drats, should have thought about this before I suggested it. Of course he couldn't talk to guerillas in central Africa. his TelePrompters are not solar battery operated!

Redd Foxx, if he was still living, clutching his heart, would have yelled, one more time. "Elizabeth, this is the big one!

Ever notice that liberals will 'wink' when one of their politicians tells a lie in order to get a fence sitting voter to lean left, but they really get bent out of shape when a politician lies about one of their issues? Unfortunately for 'us', 'they' will still vote for 'them'.

From online quote source: "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." - Henry Ford" -- What a perfect addition to the walls of the MCSD Board and every classroom. It's time our students are encouraged to succeed rather than be told they are victims and have excuses for their less than acceptable performances.

Of course bicyclists 'fear' cars.. and if more ride like the woman I saw yesterday making a left turn, in traffic, from the right hand lane, and without any thought of making a hand signal, then we are bound to hear more horror stories about cars 'not sharing the road'. "Sharing the road" means bicyclists need to read the laws on what is expected of them, too.

This is an online comment by someone else to the story of the MCSD withdrawing a vote on closing the Academic Success Center: "MCSD can't close down a flailing institution like Academic Success because our school super wants to build a $200,000 parking lot next to Rigden Rd.

Liberal L-E "soundoff": "Wall Street protesters are demonstrating against exactly the right things. When the extremely wealthy begin to pay their fair share and stop sending jobs overseas for even more, then America will get better -- not until." -- Where do you even begin in explaining Real World 101 to someone like this?

From the "who'da thunk it department" - Mattel has announced it's latest net income is up 6% because of increased interest in "Barbie dolls". Guess the Occupy Wall Street crowd will now blame their plight for having made the no-visible-means-of-support "Barbies and Kens" their role models.

Ever notice that liberals will 'wink' when one of their politicians tells a lie in order to get a fence sitting voter to lean left, but they really get bent out of shape when a politician lies about one of their issues? Unfortunately for 'us', 'they' will still vote for 'them'.
---
From online quote source: "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." - Henry Ford" -- What a perfect addition to the walls of the MCSD Board and every classroom. It's time our students are encouraged to succeed rather than be told they are victims and have excuses for their less than acceptable performances.

Of course bicyclists 'fear' cars.. and if more ride like the woman I saw yesterday making a left turn, in traffic, from the right hand lane, and without any thought of making a hand signal, then we are bound to hear more horror stories about cars 'not sharing the road'. "Sharing the road" means bicyclists need to read the laws on what is expected of them, too.

This is an online comment by someone else to the story of the MCSD withdrawing a vote on closing the Academic Success Center: "MCSD can't close down a flailing institution like Academic Success because our school super wants to build a $200,000 parking lot next to Rigden Rd. Elem. so teachers and staff have to get paid subs to attend meetings at Rigden Rd. held by untrained technicians to present ideas that will probably not be used in the classroom setting.

The fact that events go on at the Civic Center and that those events negotiate revenues by giving the Civic Center manager for his/her personal use/discretion is wrong, probably criminal.

I think Denzel Washington is a fine person, a good actor, and a generous giver. I applaud his donation to his university to chair a job for a professor,and I applaud his gift of a scholarship program for student actors, but I'm appalled that he gave it with a racial clause, and furious that his alma mater did/would/could accept such a gift with such a condition. I do know I would be vilified as a racist if I made a donation to an educational body with any racial restrictions.

A lady wrote an impassioned plea about being against the closing of the Academic Success Center, and said she would be at the MCSD Board on Monday to express her disdain in person.

While I'm not opposed to hiring the best person for a job even if that person is from across the country, I do have to wonder about hiring a Director of Public Services who has no local knowledge of Columbus, and at age 61, she may retire before she completes the job's 'learning curve'.

How about an alternative designation; instead of it being called a 'Flakes' way, why not call it "His Way" to honor Him

Yesterday's message from barackobama.com gave a Washington phone number to Sen McConnell's office so DIM&DUMBERat minions could clog up the switchboard. Just like the jobs bill potUS O'Blather has proposed, this tactic won't work, either.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg is becoming (or maybe always has been) a walking/talking oxymoron.

Students, actually their parents, do have legitimate complaints about the high cost of students living on campus at a University System college here in Georgia.
Example: One of my daughters shares an apartment style setup at a Georgia University, and the semester cost is about $3,600.00. That doesn't seem as ominous at first glance, but when you consider that semesters are only about 4 months, so it comes to a rent of $900.00 a month times 4 people for a rather cramped 4 single-bed bedrooms, 2 shared bathrooms, and a common living room & kitchenette. When you consider 2 semesters (about 8 months) are a school year, that minescule apartment for 4 draws in over $28,000.00 per 8 months. If it is used during the summer semester, then the revenue for such a small space can bring in over $43,000.00 in revenue.
Inversely, another daughter attends another Georgia University but lives year round in an off campus 1-bedroom apartment, and her rent is less than $500.00 a month which rounds out at about $6,000.00 annually. Even with another $125.00 a month for utility costs, one daughter has housing costs of about $7,500.00 annually, but the one living on campus has about same cost for only 8 months.
If you annualize the on campus apartment (like if she goes to summer school) then the cost for 12 months is close to $11,000 for her portion of a 4 person apartment. There is no competitive option when students are required to live in campus housing because there is little or no private sector living options. No wonder the GA Universities are requiring the incoming student to live in campus housing...

When I first heard of the Economic Development Administration grant of $2 Million for a Harry Reid Research Center in Nevada, I nodded my head and thought, 'hmmm, maybe there is a way to find evidence to impeach Harry Reid'. Then I researched the Economic Development Administration, and found it is basically a giant "earmark factory" that Congresspersons fund $300 BILLION annually to distribute basically anonymous earmarks with out actually having their names attached to any legislation. There's $300 Billion, about 1/5th of the $1.5 Trillion the Congressional Super Committee has to cut.

Wow! Two Americans just won the Nobel Prize for Economics. Do you know what that means? It means we have 2 world class economists here in America, and potUS O'Blather chose Tim Geithner to be his Economic Tsar!

Looks like the contract the City has with the Mayor's old law firm does have some caveats even though the law firm representative 'says' his firm will not collect those hourly fees. How many contracts, say like when you buy a used car, and the salesman 'says' his company will 'fix things' on a no-warranty vehicle once you've signed the contract, are honored by what is said versus what is written in the contract?
---
Why are some Councilors trying to maintain the Expedia case exists even though Expedia has given the City a $55,000.00 check by saying that Expedia hasn't confirmed that the $55,000.00 check was for the taxes owed? Just exactly what do said Councilors think Expedia gave them that check..for unpaid parking fees?

L-E headline: "Quarry firm wants to build conveyor * Council to decide if Vulcam Materials Co. can build system over Fortson Road" -- Hmmm, bet the first sign that goes up will be a "We are not responsible for broken windshields".

How can the City Attorney claim that "the taxpayer is on the hook for nothing." in the Expedia case? We taxpayers have been denied revenues from taxes associated with hotel occupancy, as well as the roll-over effect of monies visitors' expenditures spread about Columbus.

So 30 +/- Streetscape trees on Veterans have died. Well,there also have been two dead trees (still in their root balls) from the Streetscape project on Veterans in a parking area between 11th & 12th Streets (East Side) since the project was 'complete'. The 'watering' part of his contract has been a joke from the git-go. The 'watering' has been contracted to anopther well-known Columbus company and consists of a truck carrying water driving slowly up & down Veterans basically 'sprinkling' the trees and grass for about 5 seconds (versus a good soaking) a tree Now, the Streetcapes Tree & Watering Contract...that's a contract I'd like to see made public.
---
I'll bet a lot of the revenue problems Columbus Council has would be solved if all its employees were required to lived in Columbus and paid property taxes to Columbus rather Hamilton or Cusseta, GA or Alabama cities.
---
The "Free Phone" program by the government is neither "free" nor even necessary. Today's 'old phones' work without their SIM cards, and even if there are no minutes on them, to make 911 calls. Instead of the government's "Free Phone" program, why don't old phones just get turned in and redistributed by Homeless/Welfare programs?

L-E headline: "Columbus police: Man arrested for punching his baby's mother on Broadway" -- Just curious... did it matter that the incident happened on Broadway or is it just a L-E campaign to associate Broadway with thuggery?

L-E headline: "New Law Protects Foster Kids from Identity Theft" -- How insensitive! Aren't most foster children struggling with finding their identity?
---
From the 'only in California' department - L-E headline: "In Calif., no more tanning beds for under-18 crowd" -- Hmmm, let's see, 17 year old illegal aliens can apply for state scholarships and economic support, but 17 year old American citizens cannot go to a tanning booth and support the local economy OR pay the 10% tanning tax to the U.S. government. Isn't government efficient...NOT!

L-E headline: "Columbus police: Man arrested for punching his baby's mother on Broadway" -- Just curious... did it matter that the incident happened on Broadway or is it just a L-E campaign to associate Broadway with thuggery?

L-E headline: "New Law Protects Foster Kids from Identity Theft" -- How insensitive! Aren't most foster children struggling with finding their identity?
---
From the 'only in California' department - L-E headline: "In Calif., no more tanning beds for under-18 crowd" -- Hmmm, let's see, 17 year old illegal aliens can apply for state scholarships and economic support, but 17 year old American citizens cannot go to a tanning booth and support the local economy OR pay the 10% tanning tax to the U.S. government. Isn't government efficient...NOT!

Seems the Online E-Edition of the L-E is more like its employees than first realized. not a very good Monday AM entity. It's slow, unresponsive, and shows up late and doesn't want to work.

Lawrence O'Donnell accused Herman Cain of 'sitting on the sidelines' during the Civil Rights movement. What an idiot. Herman Cain obviously worked hard at attaining the dream the Civil Rights movement was about. It's the people still denying, still ignoring, still sitting on the sideline instead of getting on the dance floor who have missed the changes that have occurred in the past 60 years.

What's the difference between the City not wanting to release it's contract to the public with the lawyers, and Tony Adams not wanting the Nike contract being seen publicly?
Is it no less a crime for Council to not show its bosses (us) the contract, than it was for Tony Adams not to show his bosses (Council) the Nike contract?

Dang! Actually read on of Chitwood's columns and actually agreed with him all the way. Who says an old Chitwood can't learn new tricks. May even try to read him again sometime. On the other hand, I rarely watch SNF or MNF...too many women in the house.

Banks aren't the culprit regarding student loans for sociology diplomas.. in fact even colleges who charge 6 figures for a basic diploma in sociology aren't the culprits. Now, on the other hand, any student who would sign for loans of over $100,000.00 to get such a diploma are the victims only of themselves for thinking such a diploma has that much worth.

Trying to compare the super-railway to the interstate system is only something that liberals would consider being an apple-to-apple comparison. Other than getting to the Atlanta Airport a few minutes earlier (if the schedule fit your flight time requirements), once you get to Atlanta for other business, you are going to have to have local transportation, and that's not only going to be inconvenient, but costly as well compared to driving there on the I-State

L-E story: "Cairo - On her first day to school, 15-year-old Christian student Ferial Habib was stopped at the doorstep of her new high school with clear instructions: either put on a headscarf or no school this year." -- The sadder thing is that this could occur in this country. With school systems so adamant about letting Christian objects/thoughts be seen/heard in our schools, school systems go overboard to allowing other religions to practice on campuses.

You know, if the Occupy Wall Street movement actually had a message that everyday Americans sympathized with, that message alone would get public, thus media, attention. Instead, the protesters have to rely on being antagonistic towards the police, and breaking the laws of man and nature in order for cameras to show them on TV.

Now 'they' (using 'our' money)want to build a bridge from the UnderRiverWalk to the"rock island" in conjunction with the whitewater project. Excuse me, but with the damages constantly happening to the parallel running RiverWalk when ever we have floods, what chance of survival does a perpendicular walkway extending into the Chattahoochee have?

There's a zoning request to change the zoning at 6100 Green Island Drive from it's current empty lot status with no curb cut and a "Residential Office" zoning to a "Residential Multi-Family 2" zoning. Conditional approval has been given by the Planning Advisory Commission and the Planning Department. Have any of them looked at how adding a new high traffic project at the proximity of Green Island Drive and Cascade Road will effect the main (and basically only) exit to River Road for the majority of Green Island Hills residents?

A couple of days ago, a Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to 3 men. They had been working on how the universe is expanding faster than any one else has figured out. They said the universe will eventually be devoid of light. They inferred that Algore is full of himself, and "green economics" is a farce. Neither the media or potUS O'Blather offered congratulations.

potUS O'Blather says the economy is sluggish because of uncertainty in Europe... ??? If there is any uncertainty causing economic sluggishness it is only because potUS O'Blather has told us he thinks Europe is better than America.

The "Buffet Rule" has actually been in effect since 1996..initiated by a Republican majority in both Houses of Congress when Clinton was President. Anyone who wanted to voluntarily pay more taxes could do so by sending money to the U.S Treasury Department. In these 15 years, only $26 Million has been voluntarily submitted, and I'll bet that none of the present day whiners have previously done so.

While I'm sure Eric Holder and potUS O'Blather are scrambling "fast & Furiously" since it has been revealed that e-mails show they knew about the arms scandal more than a year before they recently admitted, I'll bet the DOJ executive who has written off his vacation trips with his girlfriend is scrambling even 'faster' from his spouse who is more than 'furious'.
---
So potUS O'Blather has scheduled anoth bus tour for jobs. Of course, this time the media is skeptical, and have started a "name that tour" contest, including "the Running on Empty Express". I think we can do better. Here are some of my thoughts:L
"Going my way or the highway"
"Rode to Nowhere", "Plunder Road",
"Highway to My Way",
"Job Available - Bus Boy"
" Solyndra (Some old line you never dreamt about_
And you have to wonder who's actually driving the bus...potUS himself, a Secret Service agent, or an International Teamster...perhaps Jimmy Hoffa, Sr. Maybe even "the Hope and Change tour; I HOPE you still have CHANGE I can get from you".

potUS O'Blather's problem in creating private sector jobs is because he's never had to raise revenues by getting people to voluntarily to hand over money because they like his pruduct. Books George Soros bought in bulk do not count.

Online headline: "Aztec Temple Platform Discovered In Mexico" -- Archaeologists are expressing hope of finding the burial tomb of the Aztyec Emperor who was ruling when Columbus landed and when the Spanish conquered the Aztecs. My guess is this is somewhat of a PR scam to arouse funding interest to keep the archaeologists working, because since the Spanish killed and cremated the Emperor, I doubt any gold icons would be buried. More than likely, any gold icons ended up on a Spanish ship back to Spain or ended up on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

Sheftall wrote in a letter to the attorney general. “We appreciate your interest in this matter, but we cannot put the taxpayers of Columbus at a disadvantage by releasing confidential attorney-client document to a person with a financial interest in the outcome of litigation.” --How is this a disadvantage to the taxpayers? The City of Columbus should only receive any taxes due plus any actual expenses the City has experienced, and since Council has eagerly defended its position as one that is based on the City not having any expenses, the only beneficiary of the suit is actually the lawyers. In addition, what the lawsuit claims could be more expediently handled in a criminal (versus civil) case by engaging the State Attorney General's office.

L-E headline: "Columbus officials urge Georgia lawmakers not to leave city off rail line" -- Columbus officials only see the potential of what any taxes will be brought in to the city coffers on transportation sales, but have no clue that the actual cost of running it will be a drain on state coffers thus being an negative impact for the citizens of Columbus.

The latest first time unemployment application is 401,000. For 21 of the kast 25 weeks, that number has been over 400K. That means that in the last 6 months, over 10,000,000 people have lost their jobs, and will probably be drawing unemployment aid for the next 99 weeks. It's no laughing matter potUS O'Blather. You're throwing too many people under that Canadian bus you're out joyriding in.

Hasn't the unbridled expansion/failure in the banking industry taught anybody anything about the pitfalls of meaningless expansion? Take the SEC for example; why do the powers that be think adding Texas A&M and Missouri will enhance the core of the SEC? With limited games that can be scheduled, many rivalries between existing schools will become alternate events, and the traditions will take a hit. Witness the division into East & West divisions, and how it has caused series to skip every two years. Can it be assured that, say UGA-AU not be interrupted by a 2 year absences when UGA schedules Missouri while AU plays Texas A&M on the traditional UGA-AU weekend. And how about inter-conference rivalries like UGA vs GA Tech?

Documents have surfaced that show Eric Holder, head of our Department of Justice, show that Holder received updates on "Fast & Furious" in the summer of 2010, not the 2011 dates Holder has stated under oath. That's perjury....that is definitely not acceptable in his position, nor should it be acceptable any longer to potUS O'Blather.

Also, how embarrassing for potUS O'Blather for pushing solar panels as the energy source of the future...

The lawsuit filed against the City regarding a Parks&Rec firing reminds me of something: Have Adams and Porter finished their 'community service' sentences? Also, what exactly did they do as 'community service'?

L-E headline: "Hank apologizes for Hitler-Obama analogy" -- I saw that sequence... Fox was embarrassed as I was for Hank, Jr's complete session on Fox. As for his apology, it's probably more like he regrets the effect it will have on his career more than anything else. Must have been "5:00" wherever Hank was.

Yesterday, I had a rare, as well as first time, experience. A fervent, last minute invitation to a legal system annual ritual revealed another side of that system. I witnessed an amoral driven body expose itself to honesty and emotion usually absent from a court venue. I felt honored to be there in support of each member, past and present.

Politicos are scratching their heads about getting the economy moving since potUS O'Blather's 'plan' isn't working. Guess the key would be for potUS O'Blather to lead by example by working on something else other than golf or campaigning.

Robert Johnson, BET founder, is a perfect example of an oxymoron. How can one person support lower corporate tax reform and potUS O'Blather at the same time?
---
3,895.... this is just a number, but it's the total number of the much ballyhooed Chevy "Volt" Government Motors has poured its efforts into to reviving itself. Maybe a name change will help...perhaps "Solyndra" since it's THE hot name of government efficiency as a business partner, and it's suddenly available.
---
The Big City Club....Just another reason the Friday concert night promotion known as "Bar Crawl" needs to be tempered with reality. Perhaps something like "BAND Night" would be a tad more acceptable for children to see when they are with their parents on such Friday evenings.

Seems like the Charter Review Commission is adding more politics to the every day functioning of the City. Putting non-elected department heads on the chopping block every 4 years is tantamount to creating an hierarchy of sycophants to whomever is Mayor. What the Charter Review Commission should be doing is making the job of internal city auditor one of the securest jobs within the city.

The Big City Club....Just another reason the Friday concert night promotion known as "Bar Crawl" needs to be tempered with reality. Perhaps something like "BAND Night" would be a tad more acceptable for children to see when they are with their parents on such Friday evenings.

Seems like the Charter Review Commission is adding more politics to the every day functioning of the City. Putting non-elected department heads on the chopping block every 4 years is tantamount to creating an hierarchy of sycophants to whomever is Mayor. What the Charter Review Commission should be doing is making the job of internal city auditor one of the securest jobs within the city.

From "the suspicions confirmed" department - L-E story: "Stockholm - A pioneering researcher was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine Monday, three days after dying of pancreatic cancer without ever knowing he was about to be honored for his immune system work that he had used to try to prolong his own life" -- Now we know how potUS O'Blather was given the Nobel Peace Prize, which by now is even more embarrassing than the award to the dead guy.

Ooops, the prosperity balloon has burst. The L-E Foreclosure Section is back to 10 pages.

Online headline: "Dick And Liz Cheney: Obama Owes Bush Administration An Apology" -- Yeah, and I'm sure that will be forthcoming....right after he apologizes to American taxpaying citizens for what he's done for our children's future.
---
Online headline: "New NPR CEO Hopes To 'Depoliticize' Public Radio Debate" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought he was announcing its closing.
---
Random thought from a fellow BCer with military expertise: "Watching FOX news Sunday. They are debating Anwar all Has (al-Qaeda leader killed in Yemen) and whether or not we had the authority to kill him because he is a US citizen. Some say that our government doesn't have the right to kill an enemy combatant leader because of his 5th amendment rights as a US citizen (Ron Paul). Wonder if they ever had this debate during WWII when US citizens left the united states to fight for Nazi Germany. Just my thoughts...
---
According to White House spokesmouth, Jay Carney, he thinks all White House trips of George Kaiser's (main investor of Solyndra) visits to the West Wing were for 'charity'... Yeah, his own!
---
Speaking of Jay Carney...who'd have expected potUS O'Blather couldn't improve over Robert Gibbs? Then again, he may have for his purposes.
---
No wonder the main stream media poh-poohs the idea that potUS O'Blather is a socialist/Marxist; the main stream media considered American-Muslin terrorist al-Awlaki a moderate.
---
One of the Occupy Wall Street protesters was carrying a sign that read, " Equal Taxes For All!". Wait a minute, who can argue about that!
---
From a quote site: "Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't."
- Pete Seeger " -- It's even worse than I thought...our school kids can't even read the regular print!
---
L-E headline: "10 percent of parents ship, delay kids' shots" -- If this information is compilable and documented, cannot, should not, information be extracted comparing the occurrence of autism in these children versus the mainstream?
---
From L-E's "Late Laughs": "The International Labor Organization says the global economy is facing a major jobs shortfall. Don't blame us - we've been sending you our jobs for the last 20 years. - Jay Leno" -- You have to laugh to keep from crying....

Occupy Wall Street's main gripe is the high cost of education/student loans. What the students should be complaining about is how inadequately prepared they were when they finished high school to be able to analyze what such debt would entail in order to pay it back, and being able to sign for such debt without any collateral or job guarantee at their age.

Paid $3.199 cents a gallon for gas yesterday. Also figured that if you deducted the $ .184 Federal tax per gallon, and the $ .075 GA tax per gallon and the 7% state & local sales taxes, the gas was "only" $2.75 per gallon. That also mean that $ .45 per gallon is taxes we pay which is an over 16% income tax going into government coffers straight from our pockets. The governments make more per gallon than the manufacturer and retailer combined!

Requiring everyone to acquire health insurance guarantees three things: Those who comply will be at the mercy of those who provide coverage; those who provide medical services will not have to worry about holding down costs; and those who don't comply will still add costs at a higher rate to those who do.

Bill O'Reilly is only 62? Even with the magic of TV studio make-up artists, I thought he was up in his 70s...

This will be an oft inclusion of the Breakfast Club: Diane Schneider, a representative with the National Education Association (NEA), said that graphic sex education needs to be taught in the classroom. * "She said that 'gender identity expression' and sexual orientation are a spectrum, and...that those [who are] opposed to homosexuality are stuck -- quote -- 'in a binary box that religion and family create.' -- This should be sent to every teacher in every school district, and they should be asked to either endorse it, demand Ms Schneider be fired, or drop their NEA membership.

In response to the outrage of a government worker paying $16.00 for a 'muffin'. Hilton Hotel issued a statement that it wasn't just a 'muffin', it was for a 'full continental breakfast'. Hilton's point? Would you order or let your employees pay $16.00 for a muffin and coffee?

Online headline: "California To Quit Foreclosure Settlement Talks " -- Ooops, my bad. Thought California was in denial about being bankrupt...well fiscally...it's been morally bankrupt for decades.
---
Why are the Wall Street protesters on Wall Street protesting their high student loans? It's the colleges and universities that have jacked up the prices. The protesters should be at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue complaining to potUS O'Blather and the Secretary of Education.
---
Finally found a fitting campaign slogan for potUS O'Blather: "FORE...more beers. For more beers. Four more beers."
---
While I think the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program is wonderful, one cannot help but notice that it's holding its big recruitment campaign during 'happy hour' time at 3 drinking spas. Wouldn't it send a better message if the sessions were held in churches or other non-drinking locations?
---
Oh, yesterday's barackobama.com re-election e-missive came from "Don't mess with Joe" himself. VPOTUS Biden said, "This has never been about Barack and me. We're just two guys. It's folks like you out there who will decide this election." -- They just don't get it! It is about them, and our votes in November 2012 will decide.
---
You know, main stream media is harping at potUS O'Blather's decision to wipe out Al-Awlaki because al-Awlaki was an American.... Yeah, an American who has betrayed America. Why can't the main stream media get upset with potUS O'Blather for the things he's done to destroy America rather than being upset for one of the few things he done to help America?
---
L-E story: "Tripoli, Libya - Human Rights Watch called on Libya's new rulers to stop armed groups from rounding up Moammar Gadhafi supporters and abusing them.." -- The more things change, the more they stay the same in Muslim countries. Why would any Human Rights Watch member ever think differently?
---
You know, if there was an organization giving out scholarships to 'whites only', even most whites would find this objectionable. In fact, there'd be lawsuits filed upon the announcement that such an organization existed. The sad thing is that when you exclude any segment from competing, the 'winners' never know if they are actually the best.
---
Income down and prices up... and in O'Blatherland, the report is "All's well." Pinocchio's nose would look normal in Washington.

Jimmy Carter is 87 today. I thought he was much older.. sorta like dinosaur aged like his ideas of how to run a government.
