Dingy Harry Reid, armed with nothing but wishful thinking, claims he knows from an unnamed source, that Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes for 10 years. Hmmm, this is the same Harry Reid, Mr Squeaky Wheel himself, who has never released his tax returns, and has been involved in heavy real estate scandals, and lead the Senate to confirming exposed tax cheat Tim Geithner as Secretary of Treasury . Now Romney has fired back for Reid to disclose his stated source. OK, mainstream media, Romney has given you a real story to chew on.

Online headline/story: "IRS May Have Lost Billions To Identity Theft, Treasury Says * In one example, investigators found a single address in Lansing, Mich., that was used to file 2,137 separate tax returns. The IRS issued more than $3.3 million in refunds to that address." -- Hmmm, Lansing, MI... musta been a UAW or ACORN voter registration office.

Does anyone know anything about the "West Georgia Jets"? Is this another private sports program like the Georgia Blazers that erupted into a Parks&Rec scandal?

I hope Chick-fil-A will do something extraordinary with the windfall sales gains it benefited from on the August 1st Show Your Support Day. Something Super-Christian, like donating all its sales that day to charities....either that or to conservative PACs to unseat liberal politicians around the country. You know, something that will actually help our country.

I hope neither of King Arpege's children ask him to speak to their classes on "Career Day". The only thing he could speak with on authority is that it is easier to spend other people's money than it is to generate revenues on your own.

L-E's "Thought for Today": "Many of us spend half of our time wishing for things we could have if we didn't spend half of our time wishing." Alexander Woollcott, American critic (1887-1943)" -- "Many of us"? Woollcott musta been a liberal.

L-E headline: "Suspicious package briefly closes oart of O'Hare" -- Ooops, my bad, thought Dan Cathy had sent Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel chicken finger platter for August 1st.

Regardless of its comments, powers that be at Carmike are wanting to inspect every purse that comes into the theaters for snacks/candy. A compromise could be made... say for Carmike stop selling the $4.00 boxes of candy you can get at Walmarts for .98 cents a box.

L-E's "

Quotable": "I hope our country will never see the time when either riches or the want of them will be the leading considerations in the choice of public officers. - Samuel Adams, American Political leader &1722-1803)" -- Bet Samuel Adams gets written out of our public school history books in the future!

In the letter section today, the L-E took time to make its presence on gun control known by including an "Editor's Note" to another's writings. Glad to know the L-E recognizes its ability to do so. Now, I hope, the L-E will add the same type of "Editor's Note" to the writings of Karl Douglass and Judy F. Brouilette. One works for Congressman Bishop, and the latter is the Treasurer of the Muscogee DIM&DUMBERat Party.

DA Slater refers to the Carlton Gary case as one of " a real connector of the dots". The 'dots' were connected close to 30 years ago; what we need is for a hypodermic needle to be connected to Gary's vein.

As solidly as Bama drummed LSU, why would anyone vote LSU as better than Bama to start the season?
