Online headline: "North Carolina Fracking: Governor Beverly Perdue Vetoes Bill" -- "Fracking"...the new DIM&DUMBERat "f-word".

Headquarter Nissan could go a long way towards erasing the "Taliban Toyota" nickname it acquired in Mobile/Pensacola by replacing the torn, tattered, and faded monster U.S Flag already displayed on its property. A rue American would not want such a disgrace flying over his property, any time, but especially on July 4th.

L-E headline: "BOARD TO DISCUSS PERSONNEL APPOINTMENTS * Phillips: There will be some changes to principal nominations" -- The circus continues.... No matter what, it would be better to accept Dr Andrews' nominations on a trial basis/review than have any changes offered by an interim superintendent. This sounds about as sane as hiring a 'temp' to present a sales pitch to a customer you've worked with 3 years to get its business.

L-E headline: "Donate vans so Valley Rescue Mission can help" -- The L-E really shot itself in the foot, here. Valley Rescue Mission is looking for FANS....F-A-N-S! Donate FANS to Valley Rescue so VR can put them into homes of people in need of cooling devices.

From the "snooze..you lose" department - L-E story: "Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson was elected to the Board of Directors for the Georgia Municipal Association during the association’s annual meeting in Savannah, Ga. " -- Psst... L-E, you reported this on June 27 when it was actually news.

L-E headline/story: "U.S. OLYMPIC TRACK AND FIELD TRIALS * Unprecedented runoff canceled * On Sunday, the officials announced that the sprinters had agreed to a runoff and that it would be staged on national television Monday night. But that plan collapsed Monday morning when Tarmoh made an unprecedented decision of her own: She became the first athlete to cede a possible Olympic berth by refusing to participate in a runoff" -- The officials at USOC have always been full of themselves, but this was about to take the cake. A nationally televised race for a THIRD place, and alternate spot? That'd be about as exciting and productive as recounting the Florida 'chads from the 2000 presidential race.

potUS Arpege is trying to manipulate the jobs growth figures by hiring as many pollsters and campaign workers as he can. Of course, by November, they will all be unemployed again..either way.
