WRBL 3 headline: "New study reveals teens still texting while driving" -- DOH! Like the average teen is going to listen to either their parents or Public Service Announcements? --- Misusing Warren Buffers name is not enough for potUS O' Blather; now he's trying to coattail Ronald Reagan to pass the "O'Blather Tax On The Successful". The man has no values, no scruples, and no concern for the truth. --- About the only alternative fuel that potUS O' Blather has been successful with is running his campaigns on "hot air'. --- WindCreek Casino has a new slogan.... "What do you have to lose?" Other than life savings, next week's groceries, your mortgage payment? --- Barbara Bush, possibly the finest First Lady ever, certainly, the most down to earth one, was interviewed by Fox News about the comments made by Hillary Rosen denigrating women who stay home to raise their children, dealt the most appropriate response anyone could have made to deflate the ego of this DNC spokesperson. When asked about, Mrs Bush started by saying "Hillary what's-her-name " without missing a beat. Well done! --- You know, most of the reports on Trayvon Martin indicated he was 'moving away', and earlier reports did not clarify the entry wound of the death shot. Today, it was revealed for the first time, at least to me, that the shot hit Martin in the chest. Combined with Zimmerman's injuries, this gives additional credence that the incidence was a confrontation. --- An atheist group is suing Camp Pendleton to remove two hand made crosses erected by Marines on the base so they have a remote area to reflect, and memorialize their fellow Marines who died in action. I think the USMC should post the names and addresses of all the atheists and their lawyers on a very visible Camp Pendleton bulletin board, (maybe on one at a rifle range) so the Marines can interact with them directly. --- The latest from barackobama.com: "One quick question now that we've got our opponent. Are you fired up?" -- I can honestly say I am. As Pogo might respond to potUS O'Blather, "We have met the enemy, and it is us." --- You know.. I'm glad, no, happy that I am required to show my photo ID to get my voting ballot. I'm also happy to show my photo ID when I buy guns and/or ammo.. --- L-E crime story: "Thief takes $2K TV from Cusseta Road apartment" -- 2000 Cusseta Rd is a rent subsidized apartment complex of the Columbus Housing Authority. How does the Columbus Housing Authority overlook renting a subsidized apartment when the apartment dweller can afford a $2,000.00 TV set (and probably a nice DVD system and cable + service). Makes you wonder if there has been a crime of fraud as well. --- L-E headline: "Shoeless store patron arrested after cursing, refusing to leave" -- Must not have read the Store Store sign.... "No Socks, No Service". --- L-E headline: "Columbus police: J.R. Allen Parkway wreck was a suicide attempt" -- DOH! Every rush hour trip on the J R Allen Parkway, especially on any of the entry/exit ramps is a suicidal situation. --- L-E "soundoff": "Bobby Petrino may no longer be a Razorback, but he will always be a pig. " -- Well said! --- I'm really surprised that John Edward's lawyers haven't asked for a change of venue. It would be more feasible to get a favorable jury pool for his political crimes in Chicago than North Carolina. --- L-E headline/story: "Baboons can read? Well, research calls it pre-reading * Non-human primates might be smarter than scientists thought * WASHINGTON — Dan the baboon sits in front of a computer screen. The letters BRRU pop up. With a quick and almost dismissive tap, the monkey signals it’s not a word. Correct. Next comes, ITCS. Again, not a word. Finally KITE comes up. * He pauses and hits a green oval to show it’s a word. In the space of just a few seconds, Dan has demonstrated a mastery of what some experts say is a form of pre-reading and walks away rewarded with a treat of dried wheat." -- "smarter than scientists thought"? Of course baboons are smarter than scientists thought! They are probably even smarter than most of the scientists in one way; they have common sense to know that if you hit one button and get no treats, then hit the other one and do get a treat. --- The White House is really scrambling to cover Hillary Rosen's attack on women and motherhood. Both potUS O'Blather and the First Lady are making apologies, as Ann Romney and Barbara Bush has reversed the tide over which party is in fact anti-woman. --- Grimmer than only 2-out-of-3 freshmen graduate in 4 years, is that many of the 2 that do graduate and go to college need remedial courses. Four year colleges should not offer remedial classes; the students, athletes included, should be already prepared to handle the course work level.
