Online headline/story: " Student Bra Search Case Reaches North Carolina Supreme Court * RALEIGH, N.C. — A student who had to pull her bra away from her body so school officials could check whether she was hiding drugs must have been humiliated and frightened by the unreasonable search, her lawyer told the North Carolina Supreme Court on Monday. An attorney for the state argued the search was minimally invasive * "It is unconstitutional for our daughters to be treated this way by the public schools of North Carolina," attorney Geeta Kapur told the state's highest court. * Assistant Attorney General LaToya Powell said the search was minimally invasive because no skin was shown. "By doing this, absolutely no body parts were exposed," she said. * During the search, a white powder identified as Percocet and drug paraphernalia were found on the student. " -- This is what has happened since the courts gave minor students "rights", and another reason 99% of lawyers give the other 1% a bad reputation.

L-E story: "The Muscogee County School District is using the K.A.R.M.A. (Kids Against Ridicule, Meanness and Aggression) foundation to help fight bullying in schools." -- That's the main problem, letting inmates run the asylum. The MCSD should use T.O.U.G.H, as a guide (Teachers Ousting Ungrateful Gangstas and Honkies).

The prison mess...Now that's been addressed, now Mayor Obamalinson should tackle the misappropriation/abuse of City funds when 'free tickets' are accepted as partial payment of facility rent by the Civic Center, and then the Civic Center gives those tickets away to friends, employees, and Council.

L-E headline/story: "CITY COUNCIL TO PONDER $11M BUDGET INCREASE * The increased spending would be financed with funds left over from the fiscal 2011 budget in several areas, according to city Finance Director Pam Hodge." -- Hey, that's not your money, it's the taxpayers, and if a department doesn't spend all its money, the Department Head should get a praise (and maybe even a raise), BUT that money shouldn't be redirected to areas that can't/didn't meet their budget constraints. Repay those 'saved' funds into the Fund Balance.

Columbia University may release potUS O'Blather's math grades just to prove he didn't learn math at Columbia. potUS O'Blather's call for insurance companies to eat the cost of providing employees coverage for abortions and birth control at Catholic Institutions is an insult to reason and logic. Insurance companies may appear to comply, but everyone, including the Columbia math department, knows that the cost of such coverage will just be added into the coast of other coverages.

potUS O'Blather sent out the former chief of the Budget Office to explain why his new budget (a.k.a. budget busting spending spree) will not pass the Senate. The former Budget manager said that those wascally Wepublicans will block it in the Senate because it takes 60 votes and there are only 53 DIM&DUMBERats in the Senate. WRONGO...sure there are only 53 D&Ds BUT it only takes 50 of those to pass the budget (in a 50/50 deal, VP Biden has a tie breaker vote).

For Darwin's theory on evolution to be 'the answer', evolution would be an ongoing concept, not an end journey. Where are the still evolving ape-men?

L-E "soundoff" of merit: "The current Admin would like all women to have access to free birth control and day-after pills. “Free” is the key word: short for Federal Regulations to Enslave Everyone." -- Anyone know the submitter? Wish I had thought of this acronym.

From the 'it's not one world' department - L-E story: "KABUL, Afghanistan — Six months ago, in a moving ceremony held during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, President Hamid Karzai went on Afghanistan television to pardon some two dozen young boys, the youngest only 8 years old, who had been caught trying to carry out suicide attacks. * On Monday, authorities in Kandahar province reported that two of the children, a pair of 10-year-olds, had been rearrested last week, apparently intending again to carry out bombings. " -- What can one say further...

George Cady's latter is right on, but even he has missed what has happened. Originally, this project was about restoring the original riverbed to its natural state, and getting white water as a bonus. Now we're talking about metal structures, concrete filled bags and concrete channels to alter the natural flow of the water so it becomes an industry rather than a restored natural wonder.

L-E story: "ATLANTA — President Barack Obama’s proposed fiscal year 2013 budget includes $2.8 million towards the $600 million project to deepen the Port of Savannah, one of the nation’s busiest. " -- Proof positive potUS O'Blather sent over a campaign spending plan rather than a budget. $2.8 million is less than .005 percent of the plan that has major national impact for jobs and the future, yet he promises only to give if he's re-elected to do so... but then it will become another broken campaign promise.
