Online headline: "Obama Denounces Bullying On Cartoon Network" Oooops, my bad. Thought potUS O'Blather was appearing on CNN.

Online headline:"Who Obama Blames for Muslim Rumor * False whispers that Barack Obama is secretly a Muslim have followed the president for years -- and he blames one source for it." -- Fox Newsm, of course, but potUS O'Blather doesn't think his bowing to Arab kings, or avoiding participation in National Prayer Day, or disrespecting US flag rituals are points that the average American can figure out for his/herself.

I am Pro-Life....but with the exception of any partial birth type procedures, I'm not anti-abortions. A woman, or couple, who decide on such a course will have to deal with God about it, but I never want to see abortion procedures relegated to back alley site as in the past. Why don't Republican candidates express this aspect, and move forward?

Online story: "Subscribers to an Atlanta Tea Party email list received an alert Monday morning urging them to take a stand against SB 469, a controversial Georgia bill that would criminalize certain forms of mass picketing. * The bill, sponsored by state Sen. Don Balfour (R), a Waffle House executive and Georgia Chamber of Commerce board member, would impose $1,000 fines on people who picketed outside the homes of corporate executives or outside some businesses, a tactic commonly used by Occupy groups, environmental protestors and unions in the midst of labor disputes." -- I agree with the Atlanta Tea Party leaders...this is about the 1st Amendment and free speech. We should all support such freedom, or suffer the unintended consequences ourselves.

L-E headline: "Traffic accidents at the intersection of Hilton Avenue and Camille Drive have dropped 83 percent since the city installed a barricade preventing all left turns last year, according to city records.
-- Hmmm...something is wrong here...my thinking is that since there is a barricade preventing not only left turns, but for traffic on Camille to actually cross over Hilton, that the accident prevention figures should be 100% to be considered effective.

From the 'suspicions confirmed' department" - WTVM 9 story: "COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) - Some of the Muscogee County teachers are heading to Harvard over the summer, thanks to the Muscogee Educational Excellence Foundation. * Nine local teachers will soon be heading to the nation's most prestigious university to learn how to inspire creative thinking and problem solving in students. * Normally only five are selected, but due to this year's outstanding applications they added more." -- 9 of our teachers "heading to the most prestigious university"? "Prestigious" at what... creating more liberals and socialists? Guess with the NCLB rules being eliminated in Georgia by another Harvard educated president, the MCSD won't have to worry about meeting student needs to be able to function without government aid.

Online headline/story: "Toulouse Shooting: France 'Awash' With Illegal Firearms Claims Expert * While gun laws are strict, it is not difficult for unauthorized members of the public to get their hands on weapons, according to the president of the Union Francaise des Amateurs d'Armes, a French gun society. * Jean-Jacques Buigne suggested the killer responsible for the attacks outside a school in Toulouse most likely did not have a licence for the heavy calibre .45 automatic pistol he was carrying. * "It's very complicated to get a weapon like that legitimately. But in France lots of criminals use illegal arms and no law could change that." -- France 'gets it'! Guess how many new laws would be being hatched if this happened in the US?

L-E headline: "MUSCOGEE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD * COLLINS APPROVED AS CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER * Britt David principal won’t take over until June 1" -- Well, so much for the 5 month tutorage she'd gotten from outgoing Superintendent Andrews if she took control at once. Wasn't that the urgency to do this now?

Lame liberal L-E "soundoff" : "No one hates the 1, 2 or 5 percenters. Nobody wants their wealth redistributed. However, everyone who is not part of the “social elite” does want them to pay their fair share of taxes." -- If the top 5% of taxpayers did pay "their fair share", they would get a pretty good reduction, and the nearly 50% who pay no federal income tax would have to start paying some to make up for it.

L-E story: "Columbus police say a suspect ran from officers after they found marijuana stuck to his underwear early Sunday, reports state. " -- "stuck to his underwear"? I'd sure be careful about checking of anything brown 'stuck' to underwear.
