Online headline/story: "Former Colo. Kidnapper, Is Suing His Former Hostages For Breach Of Contract * In his lawsuit, 25-year-old Jessie Dimmick of Aurora, contends that after breaking into Jared and Lindsay Rowley's Topeka-area (Kansas) home while fleeing police, he and the couple reached a legally binding, oral contract that they would hide him for an unspecified amount of money." -- Only in the mind of a liberal could this actually be allowed in our court system.....

L-E headline: "Columbus Council taps Florida woman for community reinvestment director" -- I didn't know we had one before and now need another one. Can you believe Columbus has a person on payroll who's job it is to write applications to get other government agencies to get more tax dollars and that those other agencies have to get more tax dollars from us to send back to us to fund projects we don't necessarily need, but there are funds to get them?

L-E headline: "Columbus Copper Theft Task Force says microdot technology could curb thefts * $12,000 grant would equip officers with ultraviolet flashlights" -- $12,000.00 for ultraviolet flashlights that will end up in desk drawers unused. Even in the best economic situations, this is fluff and waste... sort like spitting (or other bodily fluiding) into the wind.

Oh, and Council believes having someone on the payroll to write grants for ultraviolet flashlights is a good thing?

The folly of a performing arts school is magnified when you think of the building requirements (and costs) for students with disabilities and physical handicaps. Can you imagine a wheelchair accessible ballet barre? Ah ah ah.. you know that would have to be included.

L-E headline/story: "Proposal to hike youth team fees gets spiked * "I think $100.00 is way too high, " councilor Gary Allen said. "I intend to vote against it and to encourage my fellow councilors to vote against it." -- Why does anyone on Council think that $100.00 per team per season is unreasonable? Little Leagues pay tremendous amounts to umpires/referees per season when they should, by organizational guidelines, have parent volunteers engaged in such situations. Even 20 years ago, umpiring costs were the highest expense related to a Little League season in most leagues in Columbus, and I'm sure they still are.

L-E liberal "soundoff": "The 1964 Civil Rights Act, hated by many Republicans, protected Jewish people as well as blacks and women. Isn't that ironic?" -- You can put the truth in front of a DIM&DUMBERat and it still won't change its prejudices. The actual vote of the 88th Congress is below, and if the great majority of Republicans hadn't supported it, it would not have passed:

House of Representatives:
Democrats for: 152
Democrats against: 96
Republicans for: 138
Republicans against: 34

Senate:
Democrats for: 46
Democrats against: 21
Republicans for: 27
Republicans against: 6

You would think the current situations in Libya and Egypt would embarrass potUS O'Blather for supporting the insurgent rebels in the beginning, but they don't.
