From the 'it's not one world' department - Online story: "BAMAKO, Mali -- A spokesman for the radical Islamic group controlling northern Mali says a couple who had an adulterous relationship was stoned to death this weekend in the town of Aguelhok. * Sanda Abou Mohamed, a spokesman for the group Ansar Dine, told The Associated Press by telephone on Sunday that the couple was executed according to Shariah law. * A resident of the northern city of Kidal, who had spoken to witnesses in nearby Aguelhok, said the man and woman were buried up to their necks, then pelted with stones until they died earlier Sunday" -- Guess Ansar Dine either didn't want to waste bullets...or just get an extra rush out of stoning.

Online story: "JERUSALEM -- Mitt Romney told Jewish donors Monday that their culture is part of what has allowed them to be more economically successful than the Palestinians, outraging Palestinian leaders who suggested his comments were racist and out of touch with the realities of the Middle East. Romney's campaign later said his remarks were mischaracterized." -- Sure is refreshing to have a politician who trumps political correctness by telling the truth!

Regardless of what anyone says, if you give politicians a 1% tax for 10 years, they are not going to give it up easily when the sunset date arrives. The only important enough project on the list for considering a 'yes vote' is the military park near the I-185 exit at Ft Benning, BUT we can hound Council to earmark dollars out of the infrastructure portion of the latest LOST to float a bond to get that done quickly. To boot, almost 1/3 of that will be paid for by out-of-county/state consumers.

I have heard, though haven't checked it personally, potUS Arpege had not had a Cabinet meeting this year to- date. That's not leadership, that's not even a clerical error ; that's basically just an indifference to welfare of our country and it's future.

I do not care WHY the evil monster did what he did in Aurora, CO, BUT I do care as to WHY THE SORRY SOB is still breathing.

I am proud our forefathers guaranteed our right to a fair trial, BUT we only need a 'fair trial' when there are two sides/opinions to a situation. Sorry, but the intentional act of mass violence does not meet that qualification.

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": "Muscogee County School District will get test scores up whenever we stop making excuses for underachieving children and hold their parents accountable. " -- Don't hold you breath on the MCSD allowing that! Allowing that? Yes, the MCSD has too many programs that take over the role of the students' parents. Busing students to and from school and day care and home, feeding students free breakfast and lunch (basically year round) and after-school snacks/meal, and furnishing some students backpacks of school supplies.

L-E headline: "Democratic platform may back gay marriage" -- May?The DIM&DUMBERats already support about every kind of perversion it can under the 1st Amendment, whether it be partial birth abortions or our libraries allowing 'patrons' to publicly access pornography online, so why would anyone think otherwise? Of course, now would be a good time for voters to decide which side of perversion do they support.

New stadium? The Olympic softball games were held in hysterically revamped Golden Park, and the results have hindered baseball and outdoor concerts ever since. More money was spent on a band-aid fix of Golden Park than it would have cost to build a new and better suited complex at a new location. The new softball stadium at South Commons was not built until after the 1996 Olympics.

I knew, I liked, Willy Bowman.. knew him for years as I was an avid baseball fan up until the hysterical remodeling of Golden Park. Had season tickets in the box seats abutting the home dugout. Bought many bags of peanuts from Willy, and shared many a light moment with him. He was definitely a welcome sight as I entered the stadium, but a spot in the CV Sports Hall of Fame... NOT! Lieutenant at Dinglewood would get my vote for the first food vendor to be considered for the CV Sports Hall of Fame. He served me many of pre-game meals that I would bet was the reason I played pretty good over my years at Columbus High. Lets wait a year or two and digest the info before reacting to it emotionally, then make an evaluation. Also knew Glenn Davis when he was a mere pup of a baseball player. Glenn definitely earned his spot!

Alabama has passed a law allowing for bigger bottles of beer to be sold, and stores are buying new coolers to accommodate such. My question is that since driving with an open container, and driving while under the influence of alcohol are pretty much laws in every state, then why are liquor/convenience stores allowed to sell cold beer, especially singles to anyone, but especially at drive-thru windows?

L-E headline: "OLYMPIC WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS * ‘An injustice’ * Coach objects to world champ Wieber’s exclusion from all-round finals" -- Way to go Coach... make the two who earned spots in the overall competition feel guilty, miserable, inadquate because they did better than another teammate. What about the other girls who didn't qualify for the overall championship? How does it feel for them not to be even in the discussion of "what's fair"? Turn in your whistle!

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service is bracing for a first-ever default on billions in payments due to the Treasury, adding to widening uncertainty about the mail agency’s solvency as first-class letters plummet and Congress deadlocks on ways to stem the red ink. * With cash running perilously low, two legally required payments for future postal retirees’ health benefits — $5.5 billion due Wednesday, and another $5.6 billion due in September — will be left unpaid, the mail agency said Monday. Postal officials said they also are studying whether they may need to delay other obligations. In the coming months, a $1.5 billion payment is due to the Labor Department for workers compensation, which for now it expects to make, as well as millions in interest payments to the Treasury. " -- The USPS has one trick left up its sleeve. Tell Congress the checks are in the mail; don't tell'em that they won't ever get delivered.
