Online headline/story: "GM To Suspend Production Of Chevrolet Volt * DALLAS — General Motors Co. is suspending production of its Chevrolet Volt electric car for five weeks amid disappointing sales. * GM sold 7,671 Volts last year, below its original goal of 10,000 cars. The company stopped publicly announcing sales targets last year. It sold 1,023 Volts in February and 603 in January. * "The fact that GM is now facing an oversupply of Volts suggests that consumer demand is just not that strong for these vehicles," said Lacey Plache, chief economist for auto information site Edmunds.com." -- Considering the SuperBowl ad, and a tremendous, carpet-bomb ad campaign since for the VOLT, it looks like the VOLT will mimic the potUS O'Blather re-election campaign. Maybe a name change is in order. Since potUS is from the home of 'da Bears', perhaps he will be referred to as 'da DOLT'.

Online headline/story: "Rick Santorum's Frat Brothers Perplexed By Claims Of Cultural Oppression * (Fraternity brother David Vondercrone) says Santorum regularly attended the house's Monday night "low-stakes" poker games that included watching "Monday Night Football." He remembers Santorum smoking cigars. And drinking beer. Santorum was an "all-year" sports fan, Vondercone recalls. He was a Pittsburgh fan whether it was the Pirates or the Steelers. * Sometimes, the fraternity had parties at the house -- 10 or so a year, "full scale with a band," Vondercrone says. Santorum took his turn behind the fraternity's bar and served drinks. He didn't necessarily stand out as either a wall flower or an expert dancer. "I don't remember him having a long-term girlfriend," Vondercrone says. "He was comfortable with women." -- Now that I have your attention, this is not about Rick Santorum's college life; it's about why no Columbia University students remember or have stories about potUS O'Blather's college life.

For Washington, DC to be named a Best City For Families based on great schools, affordable housing, and low crime, "Parenting" magazine must have only polled potUS O'Blather who sends his children to an ultra private school, lives in free housing, and is swarmed by Secret Service agents where ever he goes or will be going.

From the L-E: The Ronald McDonald re-roofing project... somehow, needing to be replaced ("The roof at the shelter has been in bad shape for awhile.") after just 16/17 years raises a question about the original quality, but the projected cost of $39,000.00 for replacement makes one wonder whether there's any charity in the unnamed company that's doing the work.

L-E headline/story: "Russell County man indicted in scheme to transport immigrants has been deported 8 times * Kathleen Ann Roberson, 21, and her 33-year-old husband Roberto Jimenez-Delgado, an illegal immigrant who’s been deported eight times, face charges of bringing in and harboring illegal immigrants." -- Roberson should have her citizenship revoked and sent back with him to wherever he's from. Of course, he'll probably be back, but she will have a heck of a time getting back in without an American passport.

It's a shame our 'nonpartisan elected mayor' wasn't on site to welcome Newt Gingrich on his visit to her city. Well, she could have jokingly offered him "the Keys to Baker High School". The MCSD no longer needs them.

Online headline: "Obama To Iran And Israel: 'I Don't Bluff' -- No, he tells you when he's leaving and apologizes for everything else, and who would believe him if he rattled his saber?

Sandra Fluke, 30 year old Georgetown University law student, says she has so much sex which has cost her $3,000,00 in contraceptives this year and she's broke, and but thinks Georgetown should pick up the tab for her disability to "just Say No". Rush is almost right, she is a bimbo, but not just an ordinary one. We're talking Guinness and Ripley levels!
---
A woman caller to Rush Limbaugh nailed it. She said she was really glad Sandra Fluke used contraception so there won't be any more like her in the future.
---
Hey, if Sandra Fluke thinks we should pay for her recreational sex convenience, I think she should provide for our golf course green fees where most of us go for recreation! Maybe at least she should pay for our club head covers.
---
Hmmm. At 30, Sandra Fluke is a 3rd year law student. Hmmm, if she hadn't been so preoccupied with sex, she could have been in her 3rd year working as a lawyer, and could probably afford her recreational sex.

potUS O'Blather promised in his 2008 campaign that 'he's not a perfect man' and he wouldn't be "a perfect president'. Dang, I'm gonna have to partially retract one of my statements....he HAS kept a couple of campaign promises.
---
L-E headline: "Gingrich criticizes Obama during visit to Columbus " -- That's newsworthy? Gingrich rightfully criticizes pot O'Blather wherever he visits!

Lets face it, all our schools would be able to be more efficient and stable learning centers if slower, disruptive, and violent students were taken out of assigned schools and reassigned to schools specifically set up to handle such students. This would allow students interested in learning a better environment, and give teachers the ability to teach the lessons rather than having to teach manners and consequences of bad behavior.

Isn't it ironic that Venezuela's dictator Chavez went to Cuba for medical treatment? Just shows how bad he thinks his own country's medical services are, and it shows how little he knows about what's actually good healthcare.

L-E's "Quotable": "Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.”
Malcolm X American social activist (1925 - 1965) " -- You know, this is close, but not accurate. Substitute "No Government" for "Nobody" and it would be more accurate.
---
L-E headline: "BASEBALL * MLB expands playoff format from 8 teams to 10 " -- Guess from now on, the World Series MVP will be known as "Mr. December".
