HuffPost headline: "Mitt Romney Olympics Gaffe 'Insulted Everybody,' Harry
Reid Says (EXCLUSIVE) * WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney embarrassed the United States,
and himself, by going to London and insulting the British in advance of the
Olympics, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Thursday evening. *
"It's not good for us as a country -- it's not good for him -- but as a country
to have somebody that's nominated by one of the principal parties to go over and
insult everybody," Reid said." -- Coming from Reid of the party that has seen
potUS Arpege embarrass America and Americans with his bowing to foreign leaders,
conducted an apologizing tour, exposed his racist viewpoints, accepted a Nobel
Prize for nothing he's done, caught making a whisper deal with the Russians,
chummed up to Hugo Chavez, and ignored the Gulf oil spill needs for over two
months, and signed the HELL-thSCARE tax bill without anyone reading it, Reid
really doesn't have a standard that could cause him personal embarrassment, much
less National Pride.
---
Seems what Harry Reid thinks is embarrassing to America is that Romney
comment on the fact that only about one-half of the planned security guards were
hired and the Olympics are happening. What would be embarrassing is for some act
of terrorism erupt and there not be enough security to handle it.

Latest from barackobama.com: "Hal -- My upcoming birthday next week could
be the last one I celebrate as President of the United States, but that's not up
to me -- it's up to you." -- Well, I won't be able to take all the credit, but
we can do this.

Online headline: "Rev. Jackson, Gun Control Advocate, To Meet With Aurora
Shooting Victim's Family" -- Unbelievable! With all the violence going on in his
son's Chicago-land district and never a peep, I guess he feels it's safer to go
to Aurora.

Online McClatchy story: "John Laird, secretary of the California Natural
Resources Agency, which oversees the state parks department, revealed last week
that the department had been sitting on $54 million in "hidden assets" for at
least 12 years. Some of that money could have been used to avoid the park
closures and steep service reductions that have played out over the past two
years amid deep state budget cuts." -- "sitting on $54 million in "hidden
assets" for at least 12 years"? "Some of that money could have been used to
avoid the park closures"? This is not oversight; this is not a memory lapse;
this is about theft planned for future execution.

RE: The T-SPLOST: Ask yourself why a group of people is so interested in
spending its own money in getting the T-SPLOST passed... There's only one
answer, that the people see the personal benefit of much more tax dollars
flowing into their pockets than they will pay out in additional taxes.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg has lost it! He wants to ban soft drinks over 16
ounces. and now he wants the NYPD to go on strike if more gun control laws
aren't passed. Guess what Mayor, the Supreme Court would strike down any law you
proposed to do that, but more importantly, Mayor Bloomberg, you've asked your
law enforcement unit to BREAK the LAW by going on strike! Arrest the anarchist!

Jos. A. Bank has probably finally established a 'bottom' for its suit

US Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma brings up the fact that there are 47
separate federal job training programs fraught with waste, overlapped services,
and mismanagement in 9 different agencies. There are cases where $76,000.00 per
person has been spent training people for minimum wage entry level jobs. Seems
to me we have a case where all these agencies are just training their staffs for
perpetual positions.

Haven't we reached a point that all Americans should be resentful that

Schick Hydro 5 update: Yesterday morning, I changed blades from the one I
started using on April 1, 2012. Even though I had less than a week left to claim
4 months, the last two shaves were not as comfortable as I wanted, so I changed.
This makes it only the third cartridge I've used Since January 1st of this
year.

Now potUS Arpege wants us to compare his business plans with those of
XpotUS Clinton's plans. Let's do that! Clinton cut business taxes, potUS Arpege
wants to raise them; Clinton's food stamp program had about 2 million on it,
potUS Arpege's program has about 40 million people on it; gasoline was about
$1.22 under Cliunton, and now its up 91%; personal wealth grew 42% under Clinton
(and a Republican controlled Congress), and personal wealth under potUS Arpege,
Pelosi, and Reid has dropped 35%, and we haven't even begun to compare
expenditures or deficits.

Why does Fox News use Bob Beckel as a DIM&DUMBERat analyst and
spokesperson? He doesn't really present liberal issues in a manner of an
alternative answer; he tries to keep discussions limited to D&D
mantra.
---
I really think that Romney needs to keep a packet of his tax returns with
him at all times, and when anyone asks him to release them, then respond by
saying his taxes are ready, but I'll do it only when potUS Arpege releases his
college transcripts/records.

L-E story: Viraj K. Shah, of Steam Mill
Food Mart, was charged with commercial gambling last month. He has made campaign
contributions to a number of candidates seeking re-election, including $2,400 to
District Attorney Julia Slater. Slater, whose office advised police in the
recent investigation, has begun forfeiture proceedings against Viraj Shah, whose
store on 4451 Steam Mill Road is shown below. Inside, view a list of
contributions from those connected to the gambling raids. Candidates include
District Attorney Julia Slater, Sheriff John Darr, Marshal Greg Countryman and
Municipal Court Judge Steven D. Smith" -- Hope we will see those donations
re-donated to local charities, The Jail Ministry would be a good one that
immediately comes to mind.

L-E headline: "White House: Obama won’t be seeking new gun laws "
-- Yeah, right.. We all know how well he keeps his campaign
promises.

Campaign disclosures can be very revealing. Mainly
revealing of campaign reform that needs to be addressed. Take this one donation
for a perfect example:
The
"Committee to Elect Vance C. Smith Jr - P.O. Box 171 - Pine Mpountain, GA 31822
has redirected money donated to one politician (who no longer serves) to another
politician's campaign. We cannot expect our elected politicians to clean up
after themselves, so maybe a referendum needs to be put on the ballot to make
all political campaign accounts be turned over to the coffers of the level a
politician last serves before retiring or losing an election. Those donations
were NOT given for a politician or ex-politician to use for personal
use.
---
The
same recipient of the above donation also received a number of donations from
the campaign accounts of other politicians. One particularly foul one is a
double contribution by "Ralston for Representative Committee, INC - P.O Box 1196
- Blue Ridge, GA 30513. On June 16, said donee made 2 donations of the maximum
amount of $2,500.00. One was designated for the primary election and the other
for the general election. Question: How can a candidate accept a donation for
the general election when the primary election hasn't been
held?
---
Red
hasn't asked me to do a campaign ad for him, so this is voluntarily submitted.
Until a candidate comes along who loves Columbus as much (or more, if possible)
than Red, then Red is the man we want, we need. His opponent is, at best, a
community organizer, and I have had my fill of elected community organizers. I
also wonder about how said opponent supports himself as his profile does not
list a job source of income.

L-E
"headlie": "Senate passes tax cuts for all but
richest Americans" -- Other than this is only a partial extension of the current
laws, the truth is that the Senate cannot pass a tax cut for "all but the
richest" to begin with. 47% of Americans don't pay federal income taxes as it
stands now, so how can you give them a tax cut?

L-E headline/story: "Cuba willing to sit down with U.S. * HAVANA — Cuban President Raul Castro said Thursday
that his government is willing to mend fences with bitter Cold War foe the
United States and sit down to discuss anything, as long as it is a conversation
between equals. " -- I guess Castro means he wants to sit down only with potUS
Arpege.

Richard Hyatt opened up a memory flow today.... Pete

The unemployment numbers for Columbus are something
to worry about. Obviously, BRAC did nothing for the situation, but Columbus
having a higher percentage than Atlanta is really something to be concerned
about, as big cities seem to attract more unemployed seeking government aid.
Columbus being lower than Albany and Macon is no comfort either. Speaking of
Columbus, Macon, and Albany, other than being on the high end of the state
unemployed list, what do the three cities also have in common? How about all (or
a major portion of) three being in Congressman Bishop's
district.
