Online headline: "Obama, Lee Myung-Bak To Pitch Trade Deal In Michigan " -- After watching potUS O'Blather throw out a few 'first pitches' in season openers for the Major Leagues, it's pretty certain he will not throw a strike on this pitch either.

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. Now doesn't all that make MCSD school board sense? Hey, I'm still waiting on a petting zoo and clown college." -- He might have been a little hard on the parking lot at Rigdon Road School; if scores keep dropping, it may need the parking spaces for students who will be there long enough to get their driving licenses.

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? Simply, America will get better when EVERYONE contributes something constructive to the nation, and to the economy.

L-E's "Thought for Today": "A friend to all is a friend to none. - Aristotle, Greek philosopher (384 B.C. - 322 B.C) -- What a nutshell definition of the DIM&DUMBERat Party!

Hmmm. "Occupy Columbus" is meeting at Fountain City today, while "Brewfest" is going on across the block. What a combination...caffeine-hyped jobless college students with fake ID's and barrels of beer.

"Help the Hooch" volunteers may not come back next year after watching what they pick up this AM be replaced by early afternoon by the "Occupy Columbus" crowd.

CRCT scores would improve dramatically if students were simply encouraged that they can actually do the work versus being convinced that their situation is an excuse for lower expectations.

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.
