L-E headline: "Indecent exposure reported at Columbus middle school" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought someone was just rehashing deficiencies in preparing kids for their CRCTs.

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! I'm coming to see you." if he read only the first paragraph of Froma Harrop's column in today's L-E. Too bad he wouldn't have lived longer to read the return to her normal "Camel's harrummmpphhh" of reality as she rambled on.

Aren't Court Recorders pretty much in the same category as 'slide rules' were in the days preceding the hand calculator hitting the market place? With the advances in video recording, and voice recognition software, why are court recordings left to the frailties of human error, and human mental lapses?

L-E headline: "Deadbeat state: Ill. owes billions in unpaid bills" -- Guess Illinois is trying to hold its "favorite son" to his campaign promises of free gas, housing, food, and education. Of course, wanna bet whether or not the politicians are holding off on paying their own salaries?
