Steve Jobs is getting his last jabs in through his biography. Not only did he display his vision for the future by telling potUS O'Blather that he 'was headed for a one-term presidency, he nailed the education woes on the head, saying it was "crippled by union work rules," noted (Biographer Walter)Isaacson. "Until the teachers' unions were broken, there was almost no hope for education reform." -- Better sell off your Apple stock now, liberals will turn on Apple now that Jobs has revealed what he really thought.

Online story: "MEXICO CITY — Mexican President Felipe Calderon accused the United States on Thursday of dumping criminals at the border because it is cheaper than prosecuting them, and said the practice has fueled violence in Mexico's border areas." -- Dang, potUS O'Blather is really trying a new tactic to get re-elected, and it might work if he publicizes this in his campaign tour. On the other hand, the Latino vote may turn on him.

Online story: "The American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday accused the FBI of targeting racial, ethnic and religious groups for investigation by associating criminal behaviors to specific communities." -- Doh! Profiling, isn't that exactly what the ACLU does to Christians, Conservatives, and Patriots?

From L-E story: Leo Wiener, a partner in Glenwood Development, said, "
“Both of those improvements, the natatorium and the city service center, just bring more traffic. We can’t build a lot more rooftops in the area, but we can bring more traffic and daytime population and nightime population and things to do. Those are important pieces of the puzzle.” -- Yeah, but at what cost to Downtown development? At a time that apartments and condo are being planned and built to bring in people, the City is shutting down government aspects that traditionally brought citizens into the down town area, and moving those operations to Midtown. There go the odds on getting a much needed major drugstore or grocery store in Downtown.

So, Reverend Roy doesn't think the "SOA Watch" will be as big this year....because to many of the kooks are spread out "Occupying" other spaces. Guess what, if the L-E simply ignored it, it might just go away.

WTVM9 story: "Eight washers, one dryer and one iron base were taken from the Soap Haven Laundromat on Miller Road. * The thefts happened between October 14th and Wednesday. * Police say no one actually broke into the building though, the appliances were all sitting outside the laundromat." -- Just on a hunch, has anybody checked with Garbage Pick-up or the landfill?

Did you notice that the Muslim death squad that killed Gaddafi didn't follow the same reverence for a Muslim body that potUS O'Blather insisted we give Osama bin Laden? Muslims pulled him out of a drainage pipe, tortured him then executed him, displayed the dead corpse in disrespect, and potUS O'Blather couldn't help but try to horn in on some of the credit. Where are those pictures of bin Laden?

It's a sign of his inexperience...potUS O'Blather is trying to reassure Americans, especially the mainstream media, that he is on the job and making the 'right' decisions. Never having made a payroll, never having to adjust a business to the changing economy makes him blinded to what decision making is about. Decisions need to be made based on whether it is 'good' based on what facts you have available at the time, and when new facts come forward, you can adjust that decision if necessary. If you make a decision because you think it's 'right', then you will only digest new 'facts' based on whether they support your decision.

At the halfway point in the current SPLOST collection period a couple of months ago, I asked the MCSD board chair to publicly address the issue of the shortfall of the SPLOST revenues as they apply to the construction list presented at the SPLOST campaign. After recently noting that too many issues are now being addressed at 'work sessions' prior to public meetings, I can't wonder but what we are going to have thrown into the mix at the last minute. The SPLOST revenue period is almost finished with its 3rd year, and if projects aren't eliminated, we could, no, we will be stuck with projects in progress and heavy debt to boot. Contact board members and demand answers.

Disillusioned liberal "soundoff": _ You people (note: hey, isn't that a racist term!) who support trickle-down economics, wake up, look around. Proud of what we've become? -- Sorry, buddy, but this is the condition brought on by the DIM&DUMBERats; 'trickle-up poverty' plan.

L-E headline/story: "Venezuela's Chavez says he's free of cancer * "I'm free of illness." Chavez said on state television." -- Don't you think Venezuela wishes it could say it is 'free' of the cancer of Chavez?

Steve Jobs must be rolling over in his grave after seeing the L-E advertise and Android app for iPhones!
