If Pezold worked for/owned a Burger King, his campaign slogan could be, "Have it your way".

Online story: "WASHINGTON -- The State Department on Wednesday recommended that President Obama deny a permit for the Keystone XL, arguing the pipeline does not serve the national interest." -- Hmmm, the truth is that it doesn't go along with potUS O'Blather's plan to drive gasoline prices to new highs.

When we went to the movie this weekend, we noticed a 3-D cardboard display for "Titanic" being re-released as a 3-D movie. What exactly in the original was 3-D worthy that it has to be seen again in 3-D? You know, I think I've figured out why the movie industry wants to make movies in a 3-D version........they can charge 3-Dollars extra just for those glasses, and you will give back for reuse to the next suckers.

What is Mayor Obamalinson trying to do...destroy the Columbus housing and building markets? How will contractors compete i Muscogee County when mortgage companies will have to digest annually rising taxes when computing buyers ability to pay off the loan, and or how many 'seniors' will forego selling existing homes with tax freezes to buy a downsized retirement facility that has uncertain tax consequences when their incomes become more fixed?

Online quote service: "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other." - Abraham Lincoln" -- You can bet no DIM&DUMBERat or Union Leader has ever uttered these words as encouragement.
---
L-E headline: "$32.5 million City Service Center project on schedule" -- That's easy to say when you're only looking at a hole in the ground. Will it be said on May 6, 2013?
---
L-E story: "(University of Georgia economist Jeff Humphreys ) estimated it will take Georgia until 2020 to replace the 360,000 jobs lost during the downturn. That compares to 2016 for the nation. " -- Of course that's only if assuming potUS O'Blather loses his this year.

Why do politicians and mainstream media chide people who have been successful enough to live off investment income rather than 'earned' income? Romney, even Warren Buffet, pay 15% off of dividends they receive from successfully investing in creating/solidifying jobs for many others. You can even call it a sacrifice that they don't take a salary which would be taxed at maximum rates, and that others get a salary because of this.
---
The Federal Reserve keeping interest rates at near 'zero' actually put the nation more at risk as individual saving accounts do not keep up with inflation.
---
L-E "headlie": "GOP campaign rhetoric raising racial concerns *
Critics say it uses blacks as scapegoats for white votes" -- "Critics say"? How about bigoted media make the assumption that statements about food stamp recipients is a slur towards blacks when the truth is "non-Hispanic whites" make up 49% of the recipients while "blacks" and Hispanics" combined make up only 46%? Have you also noticed that these same bigoted media folks capitalize "Hispanics" but not 'blacks" (or even "whites")?

A week ago, I listened in on a talk concerning the whitewater course given by an involved official to a group of women in a garden club. One of the women asked him what class the rapids would be when finished. The official answered "Class 3". I winced, as I do not believe "Class 3" rapids will bring many major competitive events to our city as has always been the motive to get City and State and investor interest.

What are the recipients of the 'free tickets' for the Merle Haggard concert going to do with their tickets? Perhaps see if they can trade'em in for 2 extra free tickets to the next event?
