L-E story: "In an era when corporate giants face relentless pressure to cut expenses to the bone, it’s nice to know Columbus companies have the philanthropic spirit. * Start with TSYS this week pledging a record $1.119 million to the United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley campaign, with about $900,000 coming from the credit-card processor’s employees. * Then there’s Aflac, which has raised $3 million for the treatment and research of cancer in children over the past decade by selling a plush holiday duck in Macy’s department stores. * And staffers of Synovus Financial Corp. this week are working on the home of Columbus resident Josephine Cunningham, whose late husband, Joseph, was a military veteran. It’s part of the House of Heroes program, with which Synovus has assisted countless residents." -- How much did the "Occupy Ft Benning, SOA Watch, and the NAACP" contribute to the community's needs?

barackobama.com is having another 'dinner with barack' contest, only this time a donation is required to enter. McDonald's and Burger King have options for their contests that you do not have to purchase anything to get a chance to win. Obviously, potUS O'Blather is rooting out "Occupy" participants from winning a free meal.

What does potUS O'Blather mean when he says he's anti-lobbyist? If you pay $35,800.00 to meet/dine with him, wouldn't you expect something in return other than a wine stain on your neck tie?

Why would Mayor Obamalinson want a high speed train to connect Columbus & Atlanta? Does she want to eliminate taxpaying enterprises such as the airport shuttle companies, and airport connector flights in order to spend more tax dollars supplementing a government run venture that will not make money? Maybe it's just because she's trying to bury Expedia even deeper.

L-E headline: ":GOP hopefuls dragged into N.H. gay marriage battle" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought for a second was that the candidates would have to be dressed 'in drag' to participate.

L-E story: "The judges and lawyers have been taking a few hits in the newspaper's pages - and not necessarily undeserved." (Judge) A____ said." -- Simply another situation/example/confirmation of 99% of the legal filed giving the other 1% of lawyers a bad reputation.

From same L-E story: "According to the newspaper's analysis, (Congressman) Bishop is among the 10 poorest members of Congress with a networth of -$159,496.00." -- How can Congress budget tax dollars when any Congressman cannot budget his household? One thing this evaluation surely does not include is the sum in his campaign chest.
