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'.

Occupy Wall Street is imploding. People are stealing from each other. Seems that they really don't like the redistribution of wealth when it comes out of their pockets.

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 truck carrying potUS O'Blather's TelePrompters was stolen enroute to a campaign stop....wonder if potUS O'Blather was speechless?

L-E headline: "Alcohol changes would still require owners to go through proper channels" -- DOH! This statement sounds like something VEEPotus Biden, or potUS O'Blather might come up with.

From the above story: "A $165 sign will have to be posted notifying passersby that the business has applied for an alcohol license." -- Well, that will knock out any new Broadway businesses because chances are that The Facade Board would not approve such a sign.

L-E headline: "Ft Benning * All are welcome to give FEEBACK (sic) on Facebook Forum" -- Does this mean in addition to ending 'DADT' that the Army is adopting 'b-bonics' as the official language?

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.
