Online story: "SAN ANTONIO -- Presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Thursday said Republicans should give President Barack Obama another term if Santorum isn't the GOP nominee" -- Obviously, Santorum should have worn a hat while he was sun tanning in Puerto Rico, his brain got baked.

Well, you should be able to breathe easier today. The pollen count in the air should be lower because most of it is on my car.

Online headline: "News Is Not Good For John Edwards" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought this was a health story, but it's just about another hooker.

Online headline: "SplashNews * Rehab Could Ruin 'Jersey Shore' " -- Gimme a break...neither Snooki or other bad acting has done it, so why do they think another actor going through rehab will bring it down? Hmm, thinking about it, may be it could happen...an actor doing rehab actually regaining reality might really crimp 'Jersey Shore'.

A fellow BCer mentioned this as a way the Whitewater group 'shoulda' thought of to add some drama/credibility to the dud dam breaching. For the next phase, the Whitewater group should get the Naval Museum cannon moved down to Woodruff Park, aim it at the dam, fire a normal 'charge', then a second later, set off the "poof" at the dam we've become accustomed to at such Whitewater fiascos.

The City's solution to closing the old landfill by the Chattahoochee is to lace together cement 'mattresses' to cover the bank of the river, and it looks awful. The Whitewater group is using those same type of 'mattresses' to alter water flow in the Chattahoochee... they'll look awful as well. Sorta reminds me of when the City built a retaining wall of used tires down at Lakebottom Park to try to prevent erosion. So much for government solutions.

You sure can depend on the GA DOT... Report the damages of convoys of loaded dump trucks tearing up 2nd Avenue, or a J R Allen exit/entry ramp that has far too many wrecks and a fatal crash, and the DOT will investigate, call for some sort of study, and then disappear, BUT report a sign or billboard being obstructed by a tree, and the DOT will be there the next day.

After dropping my daughter off at school yesterday, I decided to fill up before returning home. True to my word, I drove by 4 Macon/Wynnton Road gas stations that had refused to let me use my debit card unless I went inside first, and went back to the Texaco across from Sonic and Wendy's and filled up.

As December 2009 ended, I was paying $63.00 for my monthly supply of blood pressure medicine. In January, it went up to $66.00 a bottle. Two years later in January of 2012, that same bottle, though no more research is being done on it, cost me $122.00. How can a drug company get away with this? Why should a drug company be allowed to get away with this?

L-E headline: "Unhappy public not sure who to blame for high gas" -- Hmmm.... obviously, this is the base of voters that voted for potUS O'Blather in 2008, and he's counting on them to vote for him again this year.

L-E headline: "SENATE PASSES SMALL BUSINESS BILL " -- Hmmm, Dulcolax, a lot of it, must have been used on Harry Reid.
