The first three 'items' were sent out yesterday due to urgent necessity, and the 4th is a follow-up comment.

Ex-second wives usually are more bitter and vindictive. Take Newt's second wife who was seeing him while he was married to number 1. What moral issue can she have if she wasn't willing to tell Newt to get lost until he was divorced?
---
Why does Marianne Gingrich, Newt's second wife, still use his name since they're divorced and had no children? She was, she is just a gold-digging political groupie.
---
You know, if Marianne Gingrich really had anything dirty on Newt, Newt would never have divorced her. Wives cannot be made to testify against their spouses. Ask Bill Clinton why he isn't divorced.
---
Here's another question about why didn't Marianne Gingrich resume her existing name after the divorce. Her previous name was Marianne Ginther. If she retook her name, even her newer monogrammed items would still work for her.

If tax revenues are coming in short for potUS O'Blather's liking, then he should check to see if Tim Geithner is filing with Turbo Tax again.

We ARE going to miss Joe Biden-Biden next year, but not as much as Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon will. He's made their jobs easy. While at a private DIM&DUMBERat function in San Franciso over the weekend, he stated how proud he was that the Giants might make it to the Super Bowl. Hey, 'don't mess with Joe', SF is the 49ers in football, Giants in baseball.

From a Springer e-mail: "HMS Pinafore tickets are now sold out for both shows in Studio Theatre for this upcoming weekend. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to see you at other Schwob School of Music performances. " -- Lets do hope that the Springer is not full of politicians using free tickets!

Will Rogers was as much a philosopher as a comedian. His words ring true today as then. Such as: "Never vote for a politician that talks a good game but never played" Let this be a point of contention when a politician who's never owned a business tries to tell you he/she can fix economic situations by himself.

L-E headline: "Fort Benning to train 35,000 fewer troops this fiscal year" -- BRAC or BROC (broke)"? -- How's that for potUS O'Blather attempting to balance the budget? Would much rather read that 35,000 less non-military government employees' jobs were being downsized than the folks that defend and assure our freedom.
---
E-mail headline from CivicCenteremail@colum busga.org: "New Seats to be released for Blake Shelton" -- Oh, some of those free ticket users must be getting cold feet about showing up while others cannot get tickets.
---
Council members and identifiable City employees may never attend another event at the Civic Center, even if they buy their own tickets, now that the public will assume that they are using free tickets.
---
Speaking of 'free tickets", it's bad enough when lobbyist provide them, but it's outright internal theft when a City employee hands them out to other politicians and friends.
---
Newt released his tax forms. Overall income of about $995K, and donations of about $81K. Even though potUS O'Blather doesn't support a church, Newt will get blasted for obviously not tithing to his church.

L-E story: "What started as a five-month project to repair cracks beneath the Interstate 185 bridge in Columbus is finally coming to an end almost 18 months late, a state official said Thursday." -- Government F-iciency.

WRBL3 headline/story: "Local Merdedes-Benz (sic) Winner Revealed *
The second place winner will get a Mini Mercedes-Benz Pedal Car." -- The 2nd prize winner is lucky he/she didn't win. Bought my wife a MB and it has been worse than any car covered by the GA 'lemon law' from the day the warranty ran out.
---
Liberal L-E "soundoff": "Republicans want to get rid of PBS because it tells the truth. They had rather the public be in a desert of lies and deceit and therefore easier to manipulate. " -- Me thinks we have a comment from someone who works for PBS. Most folks think that PBS should just pull its weight, and if PBS is truthful, real people will want to watch it and advertise on it.
---
L-E story: "WASHINGTON — The world last year wasn’t quite as warm as it has been for most of the past decade, government scientists said Thursday, but it continues a general trend of rising temperatures. " -- DOH! It wasn't as warm, but it's trending higher. Can any government worker be trusted to tell the truth?
---
L-E "Late Laughs": "RESEARCHERS FOUND a frog in New Guinea that is so tiny, they believe it’s the smallest vertebrate on the planet. It has the tiniest backbone of any living creature, except members of Congress. - Jay Leno " -- No further comment necessary.

Online headline: "Mailman's Blunder Caught on Camera" -- Guess he was the former Fed-Ex employee who through a computer over another consumer's fence.

Here's hoping that the MCSD will pursue download text books fpr tablet and notebook computers to replace there heavy, costly, and short life of the current school books. Too bad the MCSD has not seen fit previously to get such texts in CD/DVD years ago. In addition to being easier for students to 'carry', electronic books could be updated, even corrected/amended as errors became apparent.
