Online headline: "Obama Camp Unleashes on Romney" -- The campaigning just shifted gears. When you can't talk about what you've done that makes you re-electable, then you HOPE you can establish that CHANGE will be worse than what you are.

Online "headlie": "Warren Buffett Reveals Massive 2010 Salary -- And How Much He Paid In Taxes" -- Just intentional HuffPost misinfo. Buffet did reveal his income and the taxes he paid, but nearly all of it was in dividends and long term capital gains which are not 'salary'. His salary was not disclosed.
---
The L-E is wondering whether the final BRAC figures will be further downsized. That's possible, BUT regardless of whether the numbers are no more than 1/2 of the original figure, it's still a boost compared to the Ft Knox area losses.
---
The legal services contract for the Expedia debacle: Though the contract was entered into by Council, the contract is with every citizen in Columbus/Muscogee County, and should be available to every citizen of Columbus/Muscogee County.

First, Solyndra with a $535+Million bankruptcy,and now it looks like SunPower is about to cost US taxpayers another $1.2 BILLION. You'd think that if Global Warming was for real, all these early solar companies would be profitable from the gitgo.

SunPower got its loan backing based on creating 1,000+ jobs. Well, it looks like SunPower is planning those job creations in Mexico.

SunPower - Second Upset Needling PotUS O'Blather With Erroneous Results
---
Online quote site: "A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams." - John Barrymore " -- That explains a lot; mainly why conservatives look forward to the future, and liberals are stuck in the past.
---
L-E headline: "Columbus police: 18-year-old found with suspected pot at Spencer High" -- At least it wasn't a cigarette, Tylenol, or a water gun which have 'zero tolerance' policies.
---
If liberals are so concerned about services for children of illegal aliens, then call DFCS when a child is discovered with illegal alien parents, and put them foster care until parents are deported, then return the child/children at the border. Who can find fault with this?
---

That woman charged with beastiality involving a 6-year-old boy...the b---- should be tethered to a post in a pit bull arena, smeared with steak juices, and have a couple of Michael Vick's unfed-in-a-week pit bulls turned loose on her.
---
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. It's at least a case of converting public property for personal gain/benefit. I really don't care how it's done in other places. It's wrong, period.

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. That would or could be considered admirable unless you consider she lives in Harris County, and she doesn't pay property taxes in Columbus. What 'dog does she have in this hunt'?
