The Iowa Caucuses...my analysis: After millions of dollars spent in the Iowan media economy, less than 25% of 122,000 people who chose to participate voted for any one candidate. Candidates that could draw the attention of 1-in-10 should bow out while they can do it gracefully.

How can a sitting president just announce his determination not to work with any chamber of Congress, even though neither chamber endorses his leadership?

Hyatt has " memories of a Democrat that was willing to share a chew." -- Hmmm, that's about all the DIM&DUMBERats are willing to share (unless you consider D&D's taxing your paycheck so they can 'share' it with their voter friends).

L-E story: "Though Muscogee residents pay no state sales tax on groceries, they still pay local sales taxes to the city and the school district.McKoon said the schools get 1 percent for a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, or SPLOST, a temporary tax to fund designated projects. The city gets 2 percent in continuing Local Option Sales Taxes, he said." -- Hmmm..So that is what the 3% tax on our groceries is.... In effect, those of us who pack our children's lunches for school rather than have them eat less healthy offerings are taxed directly, then indirectly taxed again to pay for lunches the MCSD gives away to those on reduced/free school lunches

L-E headline/story: "Commission on Passenger Rail to hear many speakers at today's first meeting * The commission is charged with studying whether Columbus would be wise to pursue being part of the state’s proposed passenger rail system." -- "wise to pursue"? Just the mention of "wise" and an anachronistic idea is oxymoronic. Why not go out and recruit a buggy whip or slide rule manufacturer?

Alan Colmes should be canned and banned from any/all TV! Set-up: Rick Santorum's wife gave birth to a boy who died just two hours after his premature birth. The Santorums brought the body of the infant home so that their other children could see him, hold him and recognize the precious worth of every life. * Alan Colmes commented on Fox News' "Happening Now": "Once they (the voting public) get a load of the crazy things he's said and done, liking taking his two-hour old baby who died right after childbirth home and played with it for a couple of hours so his other children would know that the child was real." * When Rich Lowry confronted him on air, Colmes arrogantly leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed and a smug look on his face." -- Liberals lead such miserable lives, and the only joy they must get is in making others miserable, too.

A "Morning Rush" reporter on AOL/Huff Post reported that a silver back gorilla named Gino has 3 wives. Since when do gorillas get married. The correct word is 'mates', but since when are liberals interested in any 'correctness' other than political?

Mayor Obamalinson must be embarrassed this morning as the Railway Commission meets. GA Trend announced its 100 top power brokers in GA in this months magazine, and she didn't even get a honorable mention.

L-E story: "KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban announced Tuesday that they will open an office in the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar to hold talks with the United States, " -- The hide & seek Taliban is opening an office? Next, we will have them opening an Embassy in Washington, and giving them foreign aid.

L-E story: "ATLANTA — A Fulton County judge is allowing thousands of parents who could face jail time for failing to pay child support to join a legal challenge that says they must be appointed attorneys if they cannot afford to hire a lawyer. " -- Great....NOT! Now 'we' will have to pay "support' for deadbeats who have pretty much put their families on Public Support already. Is there no shame in the judicial system?
