Online headline: "Obama Could Win Conservative State" -- Must be one of the 51st - 57th states he campaigned in 2008. Either that or the "State of Denial".

Online headline: "US Postal Service To Delay Closing Post Offices Until Mid-May" -- Guess they are delivering the pink slips via snail-mail.

From a L-E story about "Simple Steps": "The program is designed to get books and reading into the homes of at-risk families * “A lot of parents don't feel like they have the time to read to their young children,” (program director Lyn) Seaman said.
-- Government feeds them, government drives them to school, government houses them, and now government is reading to them. No wonder poverty children don't get any role modeling on how a parent is suppose to be, nor any visual training on how they are suppose be parents for their children. Government is recycling the poverty circle.

I'm confused, again, over who I want to support for the GOP candidacy. I supported Romney in 2008, and he bailed out early (I guess thinking Hillary was not beatable), and I think he'd have faired much better, as would have Republican Congressional Race candidates. I've looked for new leadership this time around, and had almost forgiven Newt for bailing out in 1998 leaving the Republican majority in the House to begin acting like DIM&DUMBERats. I even agree with his illegal alien strategy, and have always admired his historical knowledge, but to hear him state his admiration for FDR has me back tracking from supporting him. Whew!

San Francisco has raised the local minimum wage to $10.24, about $3.00 higher than the federal minimum wage. This must make minimum wage effected union scales happier, but what about part time seniors and teens who will just not be hired or kept on?

L-E headline: "Handling racist joke among topics at diversity conference" -- This is why "political correctness" is such a farce. Is a joke racist only because a person of one race uses another race in a stereotypical manner? Isn't it just as racist when a person of one race tells another of the same race the same joke? Political correctness advocates have just made it that if we don't have 'thin skin' we are not well adjusted. Of what I read, most of the situations were more 'bullying" than sexist or racist, and handling a bully is different.

L-E headline: "New train links Moscow to Paris in 37 hours" -- Hmmmm, what's that in flight time...2 hours and 45 minutes... So much for high speed rails.

I remember 40 years ago when I last tried public transportation to Columbus from Atlanta. The Grey Hound terminal in Atlanta was across the street from the Atlanta MDSE Mart. I hitched a ride to Atlanta with my neighbor with the plan to check out whether riding a bus back to Columbus would give me work time to write orders from my day at the Mart. Got on the bus about 5:00 PM, and after 4 hours and 30 minutes rolled into the downtown bus terminal. I was exhausted from not having a work environ on the bus and the time it took compared to driving my own car, and the ticket cost more than the gas I would use in my car.

L-E story: "In a recent survey, the campaign found 42% of unmarried 18-to-29 years olds said they know very little about birth control pills and two-thirds knew little about even more effective long-lasting contraceptives" -- Well, so much for all the dollars taxpayers shell out for sex-ed in schools, and so much for the most effective form of birth control for unmarrieds...abstinence!

"Head Start" was a product of the Lyndon B. Johnson administration in the mid-60s. Can some one give me a 'heads up' as to when it will start showing positive results?

L-E headline: "Egyptian Islamist envision sin-free tourism" -- Well, so much for Egypt attracting a DIM&DUMBERat Convention.
