Online story: "If "Today" wants an interview with Angelina Jolie, the current co-hosts are going to have to step aside. The actress will only sit down with Ann Curry, according to a report published Tuesday. * Radar reported that Jolie reached out to Curry shortly after she was ousted from the morning show, and "made it clear" that she and Brad Pitt would not give interviews to anyone else at NBC News." -- What arrogance! Like what words/thoughts would "Brangelina" offer the world that the world even cares about? Just Hollywood run more amok.

---

Online story: "An Obama campaign announcement on Tuesday said Biden will be attending events in Florida on Monday and Tuesday, including a stop in Tampa on the convention's opening day. * Campaigning in Minneapolis, Biden talked about his upcoming trip to Tampa with reporters. * "Any of you going to Florida?" he asked the reporters. "I'm going to be the speaker at the convention." -- Yeah, of course one of the reporters probably asked him what he was going to do after the November elections, and Biden was thinking about "DisneyWorld".

---

Online headline: "Possible Disaster Looming for GOP Convention Next Week?" -- Ooops, my bad. It was on HuffPost, and I guess the HP is counting on Hurricane Biden to disrupt the GOP.

---

Online headline: "Sandra Fluke To Speak At Democratic National Convention" -- Yeah, she's probably in charge of distributing condoms to cover the party platform 'planks'.

---

Instant headline repeat: "Sandra Fluke To Speak At Democratic National Convention" -- King Arpege wants her close enough to Biden to slap a condom over Biden's head if he tries to open his mouth.

---

Online story: "President Barack Obama dismissed attacks on him and his administration for taking too much credit for killing Osama bin Laden, knocking one group's founding member for being a birther conspiracy theorist. * "I don't take these folks too seriously," Obama told The Virginian-Pilot. "One of their members is a birther who denies I was born here, despite evidence to the contrary." -- "evidence to the contrary"? Isn't that 'legalese' used when you really can't say 'proof'?

---

Hmmm, another week, another body pulled out of the Chattahoochee..must be something in the (white)water.

---

WRBL3 News headline/story: "Fire officials say Chattahoochee River is still safe * "The river's not dangerous. The river is unpredictable,” said River Warden Roger Martin. * When it comes to the whitewater project Martin said many safety regulations will be in place, like an alarm that sounds when flows are increasing." -- "an alarm that sounds when flows are increasing"? Not on the envoronmental whackos' watch! Just wait until those hear that alarms will be going off during turtle and lizard mating seasons!

---

From same story: "Whitewater organizers said when the project is finished people will be escorted into the water by people experienced with swift waters." -- You, no they've got to be kidding... 'escorted'? Will they be 'escorted' out, too? Doesn't sound like 'the whitewater organizers' are planning for the Chattahoochee to run (or be) free.

---

Online headline: "Democrats Are From Starbucks, Republicans Are From Visa" -- Well, now we know why coffee is so high... the DIM&DUMBERats have their hand in it.

---

Latest from barackobama.com: "If we win this election, it will be because of what you did." -- Well, well, well... an honest approach from King Arpege, but he still doesn't get it. He will not win if he's thinking I am working for him.
---
King Arpege's money man, George Soros, has bought a 7+% share of the Manchester United soccer team. Guess he'll need an outlet to kick some balls after he takes a kicking in November.

From the "I wish this could only happen in California" department - Online story: "A young man (Daniel Larson) who has spent 13 years in prison was declared innocent by a federal judge two years ago. And yet, he's still incarcerated. * In 2010, a federal judge overturned the conviction and said that the California man's constitutional rights had been violated because his attorney was incompetent. * Larsen still has not been released because the California Attorney General's office appealed the federal judge's ruling based on the technicality that his lawyers missed the deadline for filing a writ of habeas corpus." -- And, in GA, we are getting shafted by convictions being overturned on an "inefficient counsel" basi!. Before any convicted prisoner should be released on this basis, the lawyer in question should be brought before a public panel, stripped of his legal licenses, and made to repay the public (if court appointed), or the convict if the convict hired him. While I'm on my soapbox, appeals court judges should be removed from the bench if they overturn a lower court decision which the US Supreme Court in turn over rules the appeal court judges! Yeah!
---
I'm sitting at a stop light, being 'entertained' by the rolling boom box next to me. Car radios should have a switch that cuts them off unless the AC is working and the windows are up.
---
L-E headline/story: "FBI: Midland couple took company for $2 million * Fed say William Frazier used company credit cards for sculptures, casino chips and jewelry * The Fraziers pleaded not guilty before fedral Magistrate Stephen Hyles during their Tuesday afternoon arraignment. * Each was released on $10,000 unsecured bond. William Mason Heather Frazier's court-appointed attorney....." -- "unsecured bond"? "court-appointed attorney"? First, how many taxpayer paid clients should 1 attorney be able to represent at one time? Aside from knowing a company which doesn't catch an employee who's bilked $2 million from them in a short amount of time, and knowing the company obviously had too much taxpayer funds running through its accounting department so the fraud was not obvious is unsettling, but to let the 'bilkers' out on any amount of unsecured bond and give either one a court-appointed attorney is just wrong!
---
L-E headline: "ACT scores show signs of small progress" -- I guess this means colleges will know whether students are ready to be admitted into Remedial Studies 101.
---
L-E headline: Americans tune out Afghan war * As war rages on, fighting barely generates whisper on campaign trail" -- Yeah, like King Arpege wants to campaign on his success there, and like the mainstream media is going to give the front page to a war story when it can report on some inane concept that we should be more concerned with what Romney does with HIS OWN money more than with what King Arpege does with OUR money.
---
L-E's "Quotable": "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was nhere first," - Mark Twain (1835-1910) -- Oooo.. another saying that will never grace the wall of a DIM&DUMBERat politician.
