No Green Bay versus Saints NFC Championship just devalued all the SuperBowl ad spots. Maybe we'll get that 3rd game between Bama and LSU to make up for it.

WRBL3 headline: "Columbus unemployment rate drops" -- Why does the Department of Labor bother to compute a "drop" when the figures are based on added Christmas Seasonal jobs that become defunct in January?

From a L-E capsule on Judge Smith: ""Justice delayed is justice denied". Hmm, we can pray that Judge Smith gets assigned the Carlton Gary marathon, and speeds up the process of justice"

We went to see "Joyful Noise" last evening. Wonderful music but with a cast as talented as this was diminished by a poor job of directing and script development.

The southbound lanes of 2nd Avenue has become the most patched, re-patched, and re-re-patched stretch of road in Columbus. Please note only the southbound lanes. The northbound ones are pretty normal. Why the difference? 5 or days a week, overloaded dump trucks exit the J R Allen Parkway and scurry down 2nd Avenue to 14th Street where they take a left to Veterans to complete their journey south. The GA DOT is the only agency that can reroute those trucks off 2nd Avenue, but the GA DOT seems interested only in spending good money after bad on patching 2nd Avenue every week or so.

How can DIM&DUMBERats in general, union and government ones especially, buy into the potUS O'Blather mantra that the wealthy aren't taxed enough on their savings and investment accounts?

If Council members want tickets for Civic Center events, make'em go through the same process, whether online or standing in line at the box office, as every other Columbus area citizen. Perhaps, then, the fees charged per ticket might get reviewed and a single fee per order installed.

Wanna bet that the IRS considers all those free tickets Council and City Manager's Office staff get should be reported as income? Wanna guess on whether any of the recipients have reported such? Regardless, Columbus taxpayers are being cheated out of operational revenues to run the Civic Center.
---
Wanna bet whether or not those 'free tickets' haven't been 'converted to cash' or used to barter personal services for City employees?
