WRBL3 headline: "Columbus Police chase stolen ambulance" -- Wonder how the police knew it was stolen...maybe no lawyer's car was following it?

L-E story: "A Columbus police officer discovered vandals over the weekend damaged four Chattahoochee RiverWalk lights, a frequent target. * A cost of the damage was not listed on the police report. * About a year ago, Georgia Power officials estimated that it costs $300 to replace one globe." --. Surely there is another alternative to $300.00 per unit breakable glass globes.It might be wise to see who owns the glass globe supplier company; maybe somebody else at GA Power has another brother-in-law than the obvious situation of being in the $300.00 per unit fixture business.

From Chuck William's commentary: "From this project’s (whitewater) initial discussions in 1999, one of the top selling points has been that removing the Eagle & Phenix Dam and the City Mills Dam would eliminate two small impoundments in the Chattahoochee and return the river to a more natural state. * Jim Phillips, the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper at the time, summed up the project’s goal in a 2002 newspaper interview: “Restore the natural flow of the river.” Many others have said similar things along the way. * They are building the ultimate amusement park ride. * But let’s be frank -- just as the river was altered by 19th Century industrialists, it is being altered again. * And as it was then, the driving force is economic development." -- Being "frank" again, what part of returning the river to its 'more natural state' is going to be understood by the area's fish and bird community as kayakers splash around, and spectators congregate around the shoreline?

Hmmm, Speaking of the Marshal's Office and Mrs Bishops, was the IRS ever contacted about her son-in-law's checks from the Jr. Marshal's program being deposited into Mrs Bishop's personal checking account?

From L-E story: "Three local leaders were also honored during the breakfast with Legacy Awards." -- One of these was Margaret Jenkins. Only Margaret Jenkins would feel Margaret Jenkins didn't deserve such an award. That's the reason Margaret Jenkins is so deserving.

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": " In case you never read anything except comic books and the National Enquirer, I'll tell you what happened to paying your own way in college: Tuition of $10,000-$50,000 per year. " -- Well, it's not the students that have run up the cost of tuition (in fact, with more attending, the cost per student should be going down); and it's obvious, from the depth of the unemployment lines and 'Occupy" troops, that the colleges and universities have not kept the value of an education in step with the rising costs.

potUS O'Blather is now championing the returning vets who need jobs.. wonder what he was saying behind their backs when he downsized the Army by 80,000 +/- after the Iraq pull out?
---
potUS O'Blather also says he's 'doing everything he can' to bring down the price of oil. Hmmm, like eliminating the 80,000 or so jobs becoming available to build the Keystone XL pipeline? Me thinks potUS O'Blather may be right on one thing though... about him doing EVERYTHING he can; he's doing everything he can but he's just not capable of getting the job done.

Was saddened to hear of CMOH awardee Col Robert B. Nett, Jr's death. He was a fine man and role model, and his valor and humbleness will live with us forever.

It's revealing that now that NJ Nets' Jeremy Lin has become a celebrity nationwide, that the non-politically correct 'slurs' now being reported were swept under the carpet when he was at Harvard. Hmmm, don't tell me there was racial/cultural intolerance amongst the elite schools of the Ivy League. Now who can we trust to carry in banner of fairness and quality and cultural tolerance... hypocrites!
