We're Baaccckkkk!!!!!

While "anniversaring", I did keep up but more leisurely. Here's the
recap:
---
The bloom must "really be off the rose". Remember when the media would only
show Tiger pictures when he was 'walking on water'? Tiger could have at least
smiled at the little guy as he brushed him off.
---
L-E story: "Visit Steak ’n Shake on
Bradley Park Drive for dinner on Aug. 2 from 4:30 to 10 p.m. and 10 percent of
your check will be donated to The Crisis Center of Russell County. " -- This
makes as much sense as asking the City to send some property tax revenues to
Phenix City. Of course, it makes better sense than One Columbus holding its
"Unity Golf Event" in Opelika, AL.
---
Liberals L-E "soundoff": "Before you vote for Mitt Romney, please read about
him in the August issue of Vanity Fair. " -- Now we know why liberals political
views are so wacko; look where they get their data. Wonder if the article is
before or after the 'centerfold'?
---
L-E "Quotable “We must
rediscover the distinction between hope and expectation.” - Ivan Illich American sociologist (1926-2002) -- This
should have been a required disclaimer on every one of now potUS Arpege's 2008
campaign promises!
---
From Council's Purchase Agenda published in the L-E:
"Mobile data computers for police department:
It is requested that council approve the purchase of 21 MW810 mobile data
computers from Motorola Inc., in the amount of $235,347. ($11,207.00 each), via
a cooperative purchase utilizing State of Georgia (Georgia Technology Authority)
Contract # 980-2800008.The new mobile data units will be installed into 21
pursuit vehicles recently approved for purchase. " -- $11,207.00 for a laptop
computer with a cellular modem? Maybe 20 years ago, but way too much by today's
tech standards.
---
L-E headline: "SUSPECT IN JACKSON SLAYING MAY GO TO TRIAL IN LATE
2013 " -- 2013? This happened in 2010 and Strozier was picked up fast... why
such slow justice? Isn't the public entitled to a 'fast and speedy trial' as
well?
---
Looking at the picture of Strozier in the
Saturday L-E, you have to wonder why close cropped hair cuts are mandatory when
prisoners are incarcerated as felons awaiting trials..
---
Liberal L-E "soundoff": "Obama voted 17 times to cut taxes for small
businesses. Meanwhile, the GOP has filibustered every job bill. The American
people know who has our backs. " -- You can bet this liberal feels he'll get all
of potUS Arpege's first election campaign promises fulfilled in he votes for him
again.
---
L-E
headline/story: "Romney’s foreign trip an
audition as U.S. leader * GOP candidate has little foreign affairs experience
* WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney auditions on the
international stage next week as he travels to England, Israel and Poland
looking to establish credibility as a potential commander in chief in his
challenge to President Barack Obama. " -- "little foreign affairs experience" ?
"looking to establish credibility as a potential commander in chief in his
challenge to President Barack Obama."? Who are these AP reporters? If running an
Olympics competition is not a major venture in foreign affairs, then what is it?
And "credibility"? The AP considers potUS Arpege is credible with other foreign
leaders?
---
L-E story: "MOSCOW
— A stooped woman in her 70s dropped off a kettle and about $600 in cash in
Moscow, while a thick-necked businessman unloaded an SUV packed with brand new
strollers and jumbo packages of diapers. * It was part of a spontaneous wave of charity for
flood victims in the town of Krymsk, jumpstarted by social networking sites and
through a handful of independent radio and TV stations. It was also part of a
growing penchant for independentaction that unsettles
the powerful. * A week after the
unprecedented flood volunteerism emerged, a Kremlin-linked body proposed a bill
that regulates charity drives. Critics suspect the move is aimed at keeping a
tight leash on popular movements that could snowball into anti-government
protest." -- Regulate charity drives? Who do the Russian politicians think they
are... DIM&DUMBERat U.S. Congresspersons? Before long, Russian politicians
will feel like charity is the responsibility of its politicians like
DIM&DUMBERats in our
Congress.
---
L-E's "Quotable":
"Government is the
great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of
everybody else.” - Frederic Bastiat French
economist (1801-1850) -- No wonder potUS Arpege, Princess Pelosi and Dingy Harry
Reid and DIM&DUMBERats in general want to remodel our government in the
likeness of the
French!
---
L-E's Dimon Kendrick-Holmes just blew the MCSD logic
of poverty being the main reason of low CRCT tests: "If you hail from north of Macon Road, you’re
probably thinking to yourself that if the city split into two school districts,
that the upper half would easily beat the state average in math. * Not true. Take away the 22 Title I elementary
schools, and the remaining 12 schools would still fall short of the rest of the
state. Take away the six Title I middle schools, and the remaining six would
fall short as well. * Yes, the schools
in north Columbus are below average, too." -- And eliminate Britt David Magnet,
and it's even worse, especially when you consider that at Britt David, 14% of
student ware on the free/reduced meal plan, and all 14% passed their CRCTs in
every
category.
---
From the 'huh? headline' department - WTVM9 headline: "Local surgeons help
blind Africans" -- read "blind" as a verb as well as a noun, and you get a
different picture.
---
Online story: "BOSTON (AP) — The mayor of Boston is vowing to block
Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant in the city after the company's president
spoke out publicly against gay marriage. * Mayor Thomas Menino told the Boston
Herald on Thursday that he doesn't want a business in the city "that
discriminates against a population." -- How does the Mayor of Boston tie a
position against 'gay (homosexual) marriage' with business/personal
discrimination. Can the Mayor of Boston find one case of a gay being denied the
opportunity to buy a Chick-fil-A product?
---
I sincerely hope the new Batman has a terrible weekend at the movies. It's
not just about the evil monster in Colorado. It's about what Hollywood is
blazing across our young people's brains as to what the future brings. The
occult/dark nature of superhero, zombie, vampire, or medieval times and
witchcraft seem to be becoming acceptable to our desolate young folks.
---
The monster who killed the people in the theater...Mike Huckabee said he's
never going to mention the evil one's name. That way, the evil monster will not
get the sick satisfaction of hearing hid name in the media. Hope all media
outlets adopt Huckabee's philosophy.
---
L-E story: "CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — The
Defense Department on Thursday announced it is allowing service members to march
in uniform in a gay pride parade for the first time in U.S. history." -- Guess
the DOD will issue participants a 'Lavender Heart" service medal.
---
Speaking of all the wasteful potUS Arpege "STIMU-LIE" dollars, what's the
latest on those super expensive 'green' buses the City ordered?
---
Online headline: "George Soros' Son Strikes Out On His Own" -- Ooops, my
bad, thought life had hit Alexander Soros with reality after all the lob pitches
his dad his thrown him all these years.
---
Online headline: "Former SEAL Team 6 Member Creates Anti-Obama Super PAC"
-- potUS Arpege better really know his facts before setting SEAL Team 6 loose
again to take out an obvious meglomaniac terrorist leader.
---
Online headline: "DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz Backs Marriage
Equality In Party Platform" -- What will the DIM&DUMBERats finally decide
what constitutes 'a real marriage"? Heck, the D&Ds still consider Bill's and
Hillary's 'a real marriage'.
---
In Colorado, "The Dark Knight Rises" was a dark night for all.
---
The T-SPLOST project connecting the new complex at the Ft Benning
intersection is not enough reason to vote "yes" on the tax; the rest of the
T-Splost is not worth the 10 years of regressive taxation that doesn't even come
back to Columbus intact. Lets petition Council and demand the necessary funding
for that 1 project out of our existing LOST Infra-Structure devoted
revenues.
---
Online headline: "Obama Approval Rating Dragged Down By Economy, New Poll
Shows" -- Wait until the Novemebr Poll to see how far.
---
Online headline: "Man With Fake Michigan ID Bombed Israeli Tourists On Bus"
-- Wanna bet the fake ID was his ACORN issued voter registration card?
---
Online "headlie": "White House: Assad Is Losing Control" -- Huh? Last time
I looked, Assad seemed pretty much still in control of the "White House".
