Online headline: "US Postal Service Cuts Starting In May" -- "Service cuts starting in May"? Maybe like May 1977! (you know, with the Cuzzin' Jimmy mistake)

L-E headline: "U.S. Postal Service moving mail processing from Columbus to Montgomery" -- Hmmm, or is this a case of something that happened months ago, and we're just getting the announcement delivered by mail?

Online headline/story: "William Beavers, Cook County Commissioner, Accused Of Tax Fraud * Beavers told the Chicago Sun-Times he believes he was indicted because he refused to "wear a wire" on his commissioner colleague John Daley, the former mayor's brother. Daley claims he is unaware if he is under federal investigation. * "They tried to get to me to become a stool pigeon and I wouldn’t become a stool pigeon," Beavers told the Sun-Times. "They wanted me to wear a wire on John Daley." -- Aside from a second "busy beaver" joke in the last few days, the John Daley mentioned is also a former potUS O'Blather Chief of Staff. Maybe potUS O'Blather should change his presidential theme song to "Sweet Home, Chicago"; he certainly knows the words to it.

Online headline: "Pastors Tell How They Know Obama Is Christian" -- Oh, why, because he 'plays one on TV' while making campaign speeches?

You know, if the government spent all the money it is spending on GED course ads, and spent it on advertising the importance of high school when the students are young, there would probably be no need for government run GED programs, and a lot of tax dollars would be saved.

Online story: "Los Angeles police chief Charlie Beck thinks that all Californians should be allowed to obtain state-issued drivers licenses -- even undocumented immigrants." -- Whoa! Hold on, partner! I'll agree so far as to support the rights of qualified California citizens getting a driver's license, BUT let's limit that to Californians who are both American citizens AND official residents of California. Neither attribute fits an undocumented immigrant!

Online quote source: "The intelligent man is one who has successfully fulfilled many accomplishments, and is yet willing to learn more." - Ed Parker " -- Guess the mainstream media needs to stop referring to potUS O'Blather as 'intelligent'...even for a DIM&DUMBERat.
---
Online headline: "Obama Fights Back Against Idea He's Reason For High Gas Prices " -- How bad can potUS O'Blather flip-flop? He practically campaigned on his desire for $5.00 gasoline, but I guess he doesn't want it so close to election time...

From the "only in California" department - Online headline/story: "Sadly, giving plastic surgery as gifts is nothing new. But here's one we never heard before: a dad performing his own daughter's breast enhancement procedure for her 18th birthday. * California-based surgeon Michael Niccole tells ABC's "20/20" that operating on his (adopted) daughter, Brittani, is really no big deal: "I've done surgery on my other sons (and another adopted daughter), my wife, my cousins, my father, and I feel very comfortable."" -- The 'father/doctor' should be arrested for an incestuous act, but we'll probably read in the future that the father/doctor pulls a "Woody Allen", divorcing the mother and marrying one of his adopted daughters.

L-E headline/story: "Women’s issues have strong local voice at U.N. *
El-Amin chosen for Commission on the Status of Women * A clamor over birth control has erupted over President Barack Obama’s health care plan requiring coverage for women working in religious institutions. State Sen. Josh McKoon, a Republican attorney, has introduced a bill to exempt any religious employer in Geor- gia from having to provide the benefit. * “This is what creates poverty,” El-Amin said." -- No, what creates poverty is bad choices, whether it is not getting an education that is made available to you, or women having children out of wedlock or with someone who is not committed to providing for his family.

L-E story: "There were 351,000 new jobless claims in the week ending Feb. 18, the same as the revised figure for the previous week, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The four-week average dropped to 359,000 from 366,000, reflecting a continued decrease in claims." -- Hmmm, only a president up for re-election can find glee in a figure of ONLY 351,000 new claims for unemployment. Over a year's time, that's over 18,000,000 new people who lost a job.
---
L-E headline: "Oil hits a 9-month high, near $108 " -- It must be hard for potUS O'Blather to both contain his enthusiasm for $5.00 a gallon gasoline, while claiming to do his best to curtail gasoline prices in his campaign speeches. Guess it does give him experience for an acting job, such as playing a president on TV, when he's looking for a new job next January.

This must be horrible news for Government Motor's "VOLT" and its 9.3 gallon gas tank. Once customers realize that the purported GM savior will cost them $46.50 PLUS the cost of an overnight battery charge to travel 300 miles, even a technology toy will lose its appeal.
