Online story: "What is 75 percent of €0.00? * French president Francois Hollande wants to go back to the future on taxes. * When running for the job he eventually won, Hollande famously proposed a marginal tax rate of 75 percent on income above €1 million per year." -- No wonder King Arpege admires the French government; America still sounds good even with his own tax desires for soaking the most productive.

The NBA players are staging a fund raiser for King Arpege. It's not a racial thing...it's just another union thug thing.

Romney spokesperson, Andrea Saul, really blew an opportunity to set the record straight concerning a despicable ad blaming Romney for the death of a woman to cancer run by a liberal PAC. Instead of answering the softball question on Fox, she ignored the direct answer, and went into a rant against King Arpege, making it look like she was avoiding to answer the question directly.

Florida has added more than 70,000 new Republican voters since the last election. Guess working while paying taxes to support those who are supported by government programs tends to make new Republicans.

L-E story: "CANBERRA, Australia — Australia's hotel industry has been rocked by a court's ruling that a prostitute was illegally discriminated against by a motel owner who refused to rent her a room to work from." -- Sure hope the US 9th District Court of Appeals doesn't get wind of this and use it as a precedent for making US hotels & motels become unwilling partners-in-crime with known criminals.

When Jay Carney, King Arpege's policy jester, comes out and calls Romney's ad charges blatantly false and untrue, what it basically means is that the White House is mad it didn't think of the ad first.

Oh! Oh! I know why Harry Reid clings to his story that Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes in 10 years! He hasn't read the two tax forms Romney released yet!

From the 'ooops" deparment: An intro ad for Chevrolet preceding NBC's "Olympic Highlights" has left mud on Chevrolet for sure; the Chevrolet ad introduced the worst flop in the Olympic diving competition.

Online headline: "Obama Boy Scouts Statement: President Opposes Group's Gay Ban" -- Now King Arpege is against Boy Scouts. We already knew he was for same sex marriages and against Chick-fil-A, so I guess we can surmise that since Bill Clinton was deemed 'the first black president', King Arpege wants to be known as the 'first gay president'. Unlike his Nobel Peace Prize, King Arpege is certainly earning this title.

Online headline: "Researchers: New Human Species Possibly Discovered" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought they had discovered the first 'yellow dog' DIM&DUMBERat.

Just curious, but why does the Columbus Tech police need a Dodge Charger pursuit vehicle? An eco-green vehicle, such as a high mileage gas or non-emission making battery powered golf cart type conveyance would do the trick. Besides, Columbus Tech doesn't really have roads, just driveways and parking lots.

Online story: "NEW YORK—Kristin Cavallari is a new mom. The former star of MTV reality shows "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills" has given birth to her first child, a boy named Camden Jack Cutler. The baby's father is Cavallari's fiance, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler." -- You know, you'd think that an NFL quarterback, who's success is determined by his on-the-field leadership, would demonstrate that leadership off-the-field as well, and married that woman before the birth of his child.

The NCAA and the IRS should look into the arrangement that attorney Steve Sadow and Isaiah Crow-Well have. According to the L-E story, Sadow has "volunteered" to represent Crow-Well in his felony gun possession cases. This has to be treated as earned income for Crow-Well, so Crow-Well's and Sadow's relationship should be deeply scrutinized as a player-agent relationship by the NCAA, and all time and expenses Sadow 'volunteers' on Crow-Well's behalf should be of interest to the IRS. This is not a simple case of 'pro bono' work.

L-E story: "A man accused of participating in a robbery attempt that caused the victim to lose a testicle pleaded guilty Monday to the crime and was sentenced to seven years in prison, followed by eight years' probation. * "We knew there would be some period of incarceration," Jackson said. "Our goal was to minimize that time as much as possible." -- "our goal was to minimize that time (sentenced/to serve)"? This is why defense attorneys should not be allowed to serve as a judge. What justice is there for the other citizens in the community?

Railroad cross ties are being replaced on a section leading to the GA Ports Authority storage terminal along the Chattahoochee. These creosote soaked timbers have a 33-50 year lifespan. * Interesting to note (from a website) is "Because creosote is a general name for a mixture of different chemicals, and limited research on health effects has been completed, it is difficult to quantify the risks. Creosote has been classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a probable carcinogen. Studies have shown increased risk of cancer and respiratory problems in plant workers repeatedly exposed to creosote. Exposure to creosote on the skin has been shown to cause rash and irritation and in an extreme case, cancer. Direct skin contact with creosote poses the most likely health risks to people outside industrial applications." -- You would think that with all the advances made in the last half-century, that there would be an alternative to creosote soaked, carcinogen laced cross ties being left exposed so soil and people are subjected to the dangers of it. I guess once the mesothelioma/asbestos trust funds have been depleted, we'll start seeing ads for lawyers seeking creosote victims.

Who was in charge of the tree pruning at Toomer's Corner... the GA Power Company trimming crew? Mercifully just take the tree down while it has some dignity and fond memories left.

How stupid is King Arpege? Doesn't he have a clue to the damage his decisions have caused this country? Can he not just look at how his campaign staffers/advisors duck when it comes to talking about the 'good things' he thinks he has accomplished in his nearly 4 years as potUS?

L-E's "Thought for Today": "The truth is lived, not taught." Hermann Hesse, (1877-1962)" -- Hmmmm... now we know why DIM&DUMBERats make such an effort NOT to run on their records.

L-E story: "MISSOULA, Mont. — A man who reported being beaten outside a Montana bar because he's gay, drawing national attention, has pleaded guilty to filing a false police report after a video showed him causing his own injuries while horsing around. * Police say Joseph Baken claimed three men beat him early Sunday after he went into a Missoula bar, announced it was his birthday and asked if anyone knew where he could find a gay bar. * Photos of Baken's badly bruised face were posted on an anti-homophobia Facebook page and other sites, and the case prompted widespread support from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. * Baken was charged after police received a video of him trying to do a backflip off a curb and hitting his face on the sidewalk." -- Well, why isn't this guy charged with a "hate crime" as well. His hatred for non-gays is obvious with his intent to become his own victim.

L-E headline: "Romney compare's Califormia's economy to debt crisis in Greece" -- Can't you see tomorrow's headline, "King Arpege takes family of vacation apology tour to California and Greece".

Only in the business of education do salaries and costs rise while the product quality cheapens. Ask what a grocer does to the prices of fresh fruit once the peak quality head downward. That's the difference between a real world education and a campus one.

The more government intends to 'help', the deeper the whole becomes. Remember when government brought in kudzu to 'help' control soil erosion, and kudzu took over the rural landscape? Remember when government brought in the 'kudzu bug' to 'help' control kudzu? Now the kudzu bug has decided soybean leaves are tastier.
