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.

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?
---
L-E headline: "Republican candidates' tax plans would benefit the rich " -- Well, shouldn't all citizens benefits from good tax overhauls? The 'rich' are people, too.

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!

L-E headline: "Beavis and Butt-head are back tonight on" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought Geithner and O'Blather were going to pitch their economic plan to students in hope the students would send in a donation using their Dads' credit cards.
