L-E story: "Dontrell D. S____ stepped into Mike’s Market Too with powder on his face and a wig on his head as he robbed the Veterans Parkway store with a butcher knife in August 2010. * Diagnosed with gender identity issues and elements of multiple personality disorder, Scott was charged with armed robbery and possession of a knife during the commission of a crime. * He pleaded guilty Tuesday to the lesser charge of robbery and the weapons charge, and was sentenced by Superior Court C___ Judge John A____ to three years in prison, " -- Oh, great... Now he/she-it will get free medical assistance from the taxpayers to pay for his gender identity issues.

The new liquor law still doesn't allow ladies to have private brunches/luncheons with wine, nor afternoon bridal showers, or lunch time bridge parties UNLESS they are a member of a private country club or have a huge house. Pretty discriminating for most folks.

How much more does the American Jewish population plan to take the abuse of the DIM&DUMBERat leadership? How can the our president disrespect the leader of our only true Mid-East ally?
---
Well, as we get closer to election time, the DIM&DUMBERats are turning up the rhetoric about easing up or eliminating the Voter ID laws. Since the age of computers, I guess it's getting harder and harder to get driver's licenses renew for dead people.

Two 1500 year old Sequoias have fallen down on their own accord, and the Forest Rangers are at a loss on what to do. Guess it would be considered 'old growth foresting' to haul'em out or harvest the wood, so they are content, for now, to just let them lie where they lie, and block off access to the main trails through the park. California...it's time to just fall off into the Pacific and let new states enjoy the coastal features.

WTVM9 headline: "Chattahoochee River named one of the dirtiest in the state" -- So now we're broke and dirty... add in the UnderRiverWalk collapse and it hasn't been a very good week for Mayor Obamalinson.

Let's look at Herman Cain's attack from a simplistic angle. I'm sure he
and his advisors 'vetted' Herman Cain before his declaration to seek the Republican nomination. In these days and times, such a personal purge is necessary. Now considering the "deer in the headlights" response from Herman Cain, it's evident that these accusations/attacks/cheap shots were from his blindside. I really do think if he was 'guilty as claimed', he would have been armed and prepared with some pretty pat answers/responses.

Gloria Allred's 'clients' have made such a mockery of sexual harassment claims, that the public considers this one just another "crying wolf" situation, and has set real victim's situations back 100 years!

The real joke about potUS O'Blather's plaintive attempt at getting people to 'shovel ready' jobs is that those jobs were replaced by labor saving devices years ago. Just another example of how never having held a real job hinders his ability to recognize job opportunities.

It's really ridiculous if the Council and MCSD cannot or will not use a uniform set of district boundaries. Council should lead, and the MCSD should adopt those boundaries or pay (of course that would be using our tax dollars) the extra costs of all elections. BTW, no Council member or MCSD board member has answered the question of why the population figure used for redistricting is 8,000 less than the official Census number.

L-E story: "A title insurance company auditing the Columbus real estate law firm of Michael A. Eddings found “inappropriate transfers of funds” from an escrow account and “manipulation of records” in an initial investigation, according to new court documents. * Eddings, a well-known attorney and business owner who serves on a number of local boards, said Tuesday he cannot discuss the audit while it’s ongoing. He did, however, say he knows of no criminal investigation involving his finances." -- No wonder he's in trouble, his truthfulness appears to be in the same shambles as his accounting. This is the original 1% versus 99% protest. The 1% have to live with the other 99% giving them a bad reputation.

L-E "soundoff": "I live in downtown Columbus. We have excellent sidewalks. Yet = daily I see people walking down the road instead of using our good sidewalks. Are they blind or just arrogant?" -- It's probably because they don't want to get run over by bicyclists illegally riding on the sidewalks.

While looking up a detail, I was directed to Dick Michael's blog page. My main observation is that it is most appropriately named blog site, and the content from contributors confirms that it is a gathering place for them.
