A moment of reflection, please, in order to make sure our media never gets to rewrite what happened this day in 1941.

Online story: "A recent investigation by Oregon Fox affiliate KPTV has found that Frappuccinos can now be bought with food stamps at Starbucks stands located within grocery stores." -- This must be a concession to the "Occupy Oregon" jobless college grads who became addicted to Starbucks while on student loans or parents' credit cards.
---
From L-E story: "The (proposed) municipal complex (in Phenix City) is part of a major capital improvement project that city leaders say could change the face of the city. Wetzel said architects are now designing the layout of the municipal complex, which he said is estimated to be about 100,000 square feet and cost about $10 million." -- Ask your Councilperson or MCSD representative why it costs 1/2 or less to construct a public building in Phenix City versus Columbus...

L-E story: "“While Columbus may not be the first city connected to any Georgia passenger rail line, we have to know whether we should be the second, third or fourth city to be on the line,” Tomlinson said. “We can’t sit on the sidelines and let Georgia’s transportation future pass us by.” -- Of course we can....and should! What's "future" about building an anachronistic form of transportation that even the existing railroad companies abandoned because of lack of use, need, and profitability?

On above: The only examples any one will be able to demonstrate will be in countries that are so overcrowded that individual car ownership isn't feasible.
---
On above again: Why is it that politicians feel they can make something work when private industry has ruled against further investments? A reverse to this is that FED-EX, UPS, and DHL saw how inefficient the USPS was, and implemented efficient competing services that the people were glad to pay for?
---
One more comment about above: "How do you appoint a committee to look into 'feasibility", and not include people who work in the railroad business that can give first hand info and insight to the project?
---
Now that the truth is out, potUS O'Blather's plan to keep the payroll tax is tainted by the fact that he wants to rob the Social Security funds to make up the revenue lost by the payroll tax cut shortfall. He plans to "pay Social Security back" with future taxes on the wealthy. Yeah.

Did you realize that Bibles had been banned from being used or brought into Walter Reed Hospital? Republican outrage has had this ban lifted, but on another note, the Quran was not banned.

"The Donald" nailed Karl Rove's megalomania in an interview with Sean Hannity. Glad someone said it has Sean doesn't seem to hear me when I scream the same thing at the radio.
---
Speaking of 'the Donald". I'd love to see him in a one on one interview with potUS O'Blather.
---
Hmmm, speaking of Trump interviews, I'd love to see Donald Trump interview George Soros along with potUS O'Blather in the Oval Office.
---
And ex-Gov/Sen John Corzine, too!
---
Speaking of Corzine, can you believe XPOTUS Clinton was receiving a $50K a month consulting fee from the company Corzine drove into bankruptcy? Can you believe "I have too much money; tax me more" Clinton would take it? Do you believe Clinton will give any back to the shareholders who just got fleeced?

A California woman was found murdered and hidden under Christmas presents. The murderer could have at least hung her on the mantle with care.
---
So Lady GaGa is heading to the White House for a command performance on her song about 'bullying'. Wonder if she'll warm up the audience with one of her nude Music videos?
---
Online headline: "WATCH: Occupy Groups Protest Foreclosures Nationwide" -- Well, if the Occupy Wherever groups were at home taking care of their bills, or in most cases, gratefully helping their parents who went into debt sending them to college, there'd probably less to protest about.
---
Online headline: "Hillary Clinton: Russian Election Was Rigged" -- Hmmm, this should clear up where ACORN went after 2008.
---
Georgia Trend just announced the winners of the best medical facilities for GA hospitals in a number of categories. Saint Francis shown brightly; Columbus Regional, other than a blip by Hughston Hospital, was snuffed out.
---
An obvious high-brow elitist writes in the L-E that "..,patrons of the arts in Columbus might consider earmarking a portion of their annual giving specifically for such programs." -- First, who writes tripe like that anymore, but Mr Fry should practice what he preaches. The rest of us already do give annually through our tax dollars paid to the City and MCSD for such programs.

To the UN...with a wink to Henny Youngman, 'take our potUS O'Blather...please!
