In an HuffPost article about potUS Arpege's 2008 major donation "bundlers" who also were appointed to administration jobs, but are not 'bundling' donations again for his 2012 re-election bid, one name stands out like a sore thumb... Attorney General Eric Holder brought in $500,000.00 in donations in 2008 and was appointed for that. So much for real qualifications. --- There are major riots in Chicago, and the Bulls aren't NBA champagne, and there's no DIM&DUMBERAT Convention going on, yet the mainstream media finds nothing to report. --- The latest from barackobama.com: "The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed last week that groups like the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity and Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS should have to disclose exactly who's behind the millions of dollars they're spending to influence this election. * They're going to try to avoid this for as long as they can. After all, they have a vested interest in being able to spend millions anonymously to influence our elections -- many of the corporations and individuals funding their organizations don't want their agendas to receive scrutiny from the press or the public." -- "should have to disclose exactly who's behind the millions of dollars they're spending to influence this election"; "they have a vested interest in being able to spend millions anonymously to influence our elections"..... huh? This coming from the same potUS Arpege who gets bills passed without anyone 'reading' them until after voting; the same potUS Arpege who bypasses Congress with executive orders; the same potUS Arpege who doesn't order his fellow D&D Senators or Attorney General to be open; the same potUS Arpege who's 'green gang' bankrupts after getting hundreds of millions in federal backed loans; this coming from the same potUS Arpege the mainstream media would not 'vet' before he was elected? Gimme a break! --- Important note: Yesterday, for the first time, the HuffPost poll of likely electoral votes for potUS Arpege have dropped below the needed 270 count needed for election. The Huff Post's new figures have dropped to 260 for the incumbent. Remeber, this is a very liberal acting and supporting news outlet. --- Online headline: "Key House Leader Set To Hold Attorney General In Contempt" -- Finally! It's about time someone in Congress started to listen to America! --- Online headline: "Dead Dog In Virginia Receives Voter Registration Forms" -- Hmmm, guess ACORN rambled through a pet cemetery, and signed up all the "yellow dogs". --- Harvey Weinstein, super-rich movie mogul fund-raiser for potUS Arpege, says Romney hasn't stated any specific plans for jump-starting the economy. Huh? How can a guy who has supported potUS Arpege for 4 years be worried about whether someone else has a plan at all? --- Hollywood has to be the most discriminatory area in the country... to get invited to a fundraiser, you have to be on 'a list', but if you aren't on the 'right list', you will never get invited to the right party/fundraiser. --- potUS Arpege held a press conference in prime time last night, and said he doesn't think Putin is ready, yet, to sign on to get onboard with solving the problems in Syria or for Assad's removal. Huh? Putin has provided the attack helicopters Syria is massacring its civilians with, is providing Syria with new anti-aircraft weaponry, and is sending 3 naval ships into the Syrian port of Tartus for back up. Putin ain't signing up for anything with potUS Arpege! --- Doesn't it seem odd that the City has a smaller budget that the MCSD? The MCSD has an employee ratio of 1 to every 5 student and spends 85% of the revenues on salaries and benefits. Bet there's more than a casual correlation in that. Don't get me wrong, the City budget could be/should be less than it is, but the MCSD budget is porked out! --- There's an ad in the L-E today telling about being "the first fully bilingual Primary Care clinic in Columbus". It was only in English... --- L-E story: "Columbus Council voted Tuesday to spend $338,000 to build a peanut-shaped roundabout at the intersection of 18th Avenue and Garrard Street at the northwest corner of Lakebottom Park." -- A 'peanut' shaped ROUNDabout? This sounds more like a ride at the carnival than a solution to aid cars and pedestrians. --- L-E headline: "Soldier ordered held on $15K bond * Police say Capt. Charles Eadie sold $900 worth of steroids for $200" -- Well, his mathmatic skills are obviously lacking for his West Point education, but maybe he was just trying to get $200.00 so he could buy 20 toilet seats and sell them to the Air Force for $3,000.00 each... --- L-E headline/story: "55 Cougars on PBC honor roll * They are among a record 1,137 who made the list from the 13 PBC schools, the league announced Tuesday." -- Hmmm, looks like the average per school was about 87 students. While we praise the individual students for their excellence in being student-athletes, the sheer number of CSU recipients was disappointing at a minimum. --- L-E headline/story: "HBO apologizes for fake George W. Bush head on ‘Games of Thrones’ * More specifically: a prop severed head bearing the former president’s likeness appeared mounted on a stick. * Though the head was given a wig of long hair, spattered in mud and turned mostly away from the camera , the distinctive upper lip was a giveaway * George Bush’s head appears in a couple of beheading scenes,” the duo (creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss) revealed in their commentary. “It’s not a choice, it’s not a political statement. We just had to use whatever heads we had lying around.” -- HA-HA-HA! 'we use .. whatever heads we had lying around'... To the media and other D&D's, the two had to 'wink' when they said that, but wanna bet whether they had a Clinton or potUS Arpege head just 'lying around' to choose from?
