Online headline: "President Obama Softens Super PAC Opposition " -- Well, well, potUS O'Blather must have blown out another flip-flop when on his last Hawaiian vacation.
---
Online headline: "Romney Says Susan G. Komen Was Right To Cut Planned Parenthood Funding" -- I agree...not only is it a conflicted detour from the Komen mission, why should an organization be allowed to redistribute people's donations to another charity?
---
L-E headline: "Suspicious package found in County Road post office contained rotten seafood" -- Wonder if Mayor Obamalinson might have been testing alternative ways to get rid of seafood garbage should once-a-week curbside garbage pickup become reality?
---
A lobbyist 'gift' cap is good, though eliminating such 'gifts' would be better. Why cannot interest in conversations about legislation just be conducted in a legislators office where records of appointments are kept?

RE: the illegal immigrant who rolled over his infant - Two questions: How did an illegal get a driver's license to begin with, and why wasn't his status revealed when his illegally attained license was 'suspended'?

The Mayor, and the previous mayor making the same attempt, looks only at what appears to be a huge windfall tax increase on all older 'frozen' homes. That might be more, OK, some, positive public response if Mayor Obamalinson approached the matter with diplomacy. For a simple comparison, my neighbor's home is similar in size to mine, but was bought years before me. His taxes this past year were about $3,100.00 and mine were over $5,200.00. I'm not interested, nor would get any satisfaction if he had his taxes raised to $5,200.00, but if a plan were devised that we both paid an equal amount (say $4,150.00,) and there was a reasonable plan by the City for what the City would do in the future about controlling increases, we both would probably listen to such a plan. (Of course getting me to vote against the uncertainty of paying more in the future than I do now would get a resounding "NO" at the polls)

WTVM9 story: "Atlanta Braves unveil new home-game uniforms" -- This have those playoff opponents shaking at their knees!

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": " If Obama needs to prove to the state of Georgia where he was born, then everyone in Georgia needs to prove where they were born. No exceptions and no fake papers. " -- Just proves liberals do not understand their own positions. I, too, think all people in Georgia should have to 'prove' where they were born to get privileges and services, like voting, attaining a driver's license, asking for welfare services, attending public schools & colleges, and other perks restricted to citizenship.

L-E headlines: "U.S. closes Syrian embassy" & "U.S. levies tougher sanctions on Iran " -- But what you wanna bet our rent and foreign aide checks will still be sent?
---
Has anyone else had this happen? A week or so ago, my daughter received a 1099 form from North Georgia College and State University. I can only assume that the money paid from the HOPE Scholarship money is now being charged directly to the students as taxable income. Something is inherently wrong with enticing school enrolment then pulling the reed carpet out from under the students feet.

L-E headline: "COLLEGE FOOTBALL * Big Ten kicking around big idea for national 4-team football playoff " -- Now, if the SEC was doing this, it would warrant a "headline'; for the Big 10 doing so deserves no more than a yawn.
---
Wonder how Tom Brady's dealing with the 2 points he "threw away' on the first play of the game. Without those twp points, the Giants would have had to play in an entirely different situation on their last drive.
