Online headline: "Report: Geithner Won't Stay On If Obama Is Reelected" -- Well, just to be on the safe side, lets makes sure potUS O'Blather is out looking for a new job, too, in November.

HuffPost headline: "John Boehner Cries At Gabby Giffords' Resignation" -- Only libs would criticize such an honest display. What would the HuffPost said had he not shed a tear?

Whatta support plan for our military.... NOT! potUs O'Blather has patted himself for taking our troops off the streets of Iraq, but seems happy to put 80,000 of them out on the street back home. Seeing this, what's the incentive for out troops in Afghanistan to wrap things up?

From L-E story on Council meetings: "
Thomas said evening meetings are hard on the city government department heads, who have to attend the meetings. That means 12-hour days for some of them. * Tomlinson proposed trying the increasing the work sessions before considering meeting four times.
* Councilor Woodson asked if the department heads get overtime for long days. * City Manager Isaiah Hugley said no, they’re salaried, so they don’t get overtime. * Comp time? Woodson asked. * No. No comp time, either, Hugley said." -- What is it with these people? Salaries were raised years ago to compete with similar private sector responsibilities (which now should have the City reducing pay levels as the private sector has been forced to do), but now the City is complaining about the work ethics of the private sector; you get the job done regardless of the hours needed!

L-E headline: "Officials break ground on new middle school in Midland" -- In 1959, the MCSD had 32,000 students; in 1990, the MCSD had 32,000 students, in 2011-12 the MCSD has 32,000 students. With Ft Benning probably losing more soldiers than was gained under BRAC, maybe the MCSD needs to do a little more real time planning before adding more schools. How about just using that $19+ Million to keep our existing facilities in shape so they can work for another 20 years?

Lets look at who's greedy? The Fed is keeping interest rates so low to protect potUS O'Blather's back, and by doing so, interest on savings accounts stays at less than 1%. Say you have $1,000.00 in a savings account, and you get about $10.00 in interest payment from your bank. But wait, even at the unrealistic acknowledged inflation rate of 3%, your $1,000.00 is worth only $970.00 . Doesn't sound like such a good deal does it, but wait, there's more. The Feds now will tax you for 15% of that $10.00 interest you collected.!

L-E headline/story: "Georgia to debate easing drunk driving convictions * ATLANTA — People convicted of drunk driving who stay out of serious motor vehicle trouble for five years could have their records wiped clean under a bill proposed in Georgia." -- Well, I guess the GA Legislature wants to clean up the profiles of those who will use the drive-thru window when they buy their alcohol on Sundays.

L-E headline/story: "Ga. scientists win grant to study glacier carbon * Researchers Aron Stubbins and Marc Frischer of the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in Savannah were awarded the $224,000 grant by the National Science Foundation. * Some believe the carbon was scraped up by glaciers crossing over ancient forests. The Georgia scientists think otherwise, saying it might have formed from the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass in the atmosphere" -- $224.000.00 because some GA scientists believe something different? Bet they have claimed they got the idea from playing on the glaciers in their childhood backyards that supply the Savannah River.
