Online headline: "Former Penn State assistant coach convicted on 45 of 48 counts" -- Whew! Glad the DA didn't import the Casey Anthony jury in for the trial; they'd have had their heads buried in the Sandusky. --- Online story: "Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) called House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) "mind-numbingly stupid" for suggesting that Republicans are attacking Attorney General Eric Holder in order to advance an agenda of voter suppression. " -- There must be something in the water in SC. First, Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) called out during a potUS Arpege "State of the Union" speech, "You LIE!", and now Gowdy has exposed Pelosi! We need SC water to be exported to all states; there must be something in it that makes politicians speak honestly in public. --- potUS Arpege has gotten to where he justifies his decisions by saying, 'it was the right thing to do". Sorry, potUS Arpege, when you do/say something, it is actually 'the LEFT thing' to do. --- WRBL New3 headline: "Columbus not on the list for high speed passenger rail" -- Whew! Why is it that politicians think consumers are going to take high speed trains to destinations within 5 hours of drive time? The cost alone for a family of 4 or more will be prohibitive as experienced by those who have thought of riding AMTRAK, but add on the cost of a rental car for destination transportation, and the costs skyrocket. In addition, there won't be any time saved by time you get to a departure station far enough ahead of time to pass the security frisk, and when retrieving luggage and renting a car at the destination station. --- Online headline: "Bossless Company, Where Employees Run The Ship" -- Oooops, my bad..thought this was about Government Motors --- the latest from barackobama.com: "Hal -- The Washington Post reported this morning that "Mitt Romney's financial company, Bain Capital, invested in a series of firms that specialized in relocating jobs done by American workers to new facilities in low-wage countries like China and India." This is the same guy that goes around the campaign trail talking a huge game about being able to protect American jobs by standing up to foreign countries like China. But now we know that Romney and his partners made millions while sending American jobs overseas." -- So, Romney "goes around the campaign trail talking a huge game about being able to protect American jobs".... hmmm, and this is coming out of the mouth of the man in the White House who actually CAN protect American jobs, but wants illegal aliens to get them. --- From L-E story: "A recurring question in the accident investigation has been how Qualls got the beer his two buddies were arrested for hiding. * “A fake ID was used to make that purchase, to the best of our knowledge,” said police Lt. Tony Danford" -- There are scanning devices that show whether a driver's license is valid or not. Most of you, if you have voted in Muscogee County in recent years, have already seen them in action, but because of lobbying, our legislators have not seen fit to make these scanning devices mandatory in outlets that sell alcohol. This may be a good time to contact your representatives and demand action on these devices. The life you save could be yours. --- It's bad enough that the state of GA now neuters parents when their children become 18, but since when does a 17 year old have the right to appeal his license being confiscated, especially when it was for an alcohol related driving incident? --- Deja vu? I sincerely hope that there was no racing involved in the above tragic death, but my mind races immediately to another tragic death involving the death of my neighbors' child on Mobley Road 2 years ago. --- L-E story: "The homeschooled sister-brother team of Ann Harber and Joseph Harber, 15 and 17 respectively, defeated MBA and undergraduate students to win the top prize at the second annual Columbus State University Business Plan Competition. " -- Make sure the MCSD Board, and the State Board of Regents get a copy of this story. --- L-E story: "WASHINGTON — The State Department said Friday it is looking into how a self-professed member of a banned Egyptian terrorist organization was issued a U.S. visa and traveled to Washington this week for meetings with senior Obama administration officials. * Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the “circumstances of this particular case” were being reviewed. She declined to discuss specifics, citing privacy laws, but said the department is trying to better understand how and why Hani Nour Eldin was granted a visa and held meetings with officials at the White House and State Department. * Eldin has also identified himself as a member of Gamaa Islamiya, or the Egyptian Islamic Group, which the State Department has designated a “foreign terrorist organization.” * Members of such groups are ineligible for U.S. visas and barred from entering the United States. " -- Guess potUS Arpege issued an executive order for Visas for his comrades...uh...friends. --- I tell you what, though I sincerely believe no one should be able to dictate to the U.S. Supreme Court what it must or must not do, I do believe the SC should have announced their rulings on the HELL-scCare suits FIRST! --- I don't believe it will happen, but in a way, I almost hope the U.S. Supreme Court rules for the DIM&DUMBERat's bill in its entirety. Huh? you think... Well, think about it as the ultimate motivator to get more voters to the polls to vote for Republicans in all Congressional as well as the Presidential races. ---
