L-E headline/story: "Food Pantry opens at new hours * St. Mary's Road UMC Pantry Ministry has new operating hours * In order to maximize the outreach in the community, service will only be given to those people living in zip codes 31903, 31905, 31906 and 31907." -- Hmmm, if people needing such help can provide an ID showing where they live, then what's the flap about not having IDs to vote?

There's an article on HuffPost listing "10 jobs that will make you fat" -- Travel agents, judges/attorneys, social worker, teacher, artist/designer/architect, Administrative Assistant, physician, police/firefighter, marketing/PR professionals, and IT professionals made the HP list. What's noticeably missing are journalists, cooks, union fat cats, and politicians.....and iPhone 5 buyers..

Online story: "PHILADELPHIA (AP) — There's a lot of trouble brewing next to a coffee house in a fast-developing neighborhood. * Ori Feibush, a real estate developer, has turned a trash-strewn city-owned lot — vacant for roughly 30 years — into a welcoming spot for customers of his month-old corner cafe, where they can enjoy their fair-trade organic java and pastries from local bakeries. * It may sound like a win-win, but the now-sparkling urban respite has angered city officials. They say Feibush shouldn't have done work on a lot he doesn't own or rent, shouldn't be using taxpayer-owned property to benefit his business and should have played by the rules. * (Feibush) spent at least $20,000 to remove 40 tons of trash and to add planters, tables and landscaping to it." -- Perfect examples of government arrogance, abuse, and megalomania. Guess the Philadelphia Council may be made up of former School Superintendents used to letting public property decay unceremoniously, then ask the taxpayers to demolish and rebuild something that would still be vibrant with a little maintenance along the way.

Do you suppose that drug sales reps do not discuss contraindications as they discuss new drugs with doctors? Listening to drug ads on TV, the list of side effects seem to outweigh any curative nature.

With the rash of student classroom disruptions making news at the L-E, I reflect back to my high school days and remember how effective a visit to a coach's office to meet the business end of a stout paddle kept classroom disruptions to a minimum.

It's mind boggling to think King Arpege could, would try to manipulate an act of war against our country by blaming a video while apologizing to the terrorists responsible at the same time. That's just WRONG!

Why does the L-E continue to actually use the name of the felonious former UGA running back? There is no reason to give "a blip' newspaper time or space.

The latest from barackobama.com: "Some grub with POTUS?" -- And those grubbing are the entitled, the media, and the wackos.

Latest from barackobama.com: "I've got to be honest, I don't care who wins this last Dinner with Barack. * All I care about is who wins on November 6th." -- This one statement has ever so captured King Arpege's persona, attitude, agenda, and concern for the country?

If Mayor Obamalinson is concerned about pedestrian safety in downtown, removing bicyclists from the sidewalks will be a lot more effective than changing traffic flow on 11th & 12th Streets.

While speaking to a Latino audience, King Arpege claims his biggest mistake was not getting 'immigration reform (read: amnesty)" passed his first term. Aside from the fact that the D&D Congress could have passed any thing he wanted during his first two years, why is 'immigration reform" (or lack of it) considered his biggest mistake when everyone, including us with Latino ancestry, are more effected by his bigger mistakes handling the economy, jobs, and foreign affairs?

So Monica Lewinsky is writing a tell-all about the Clinton years....bet there'll be a bidding war between Michael Moore and Oliver Stone for the movie rights, and HBO for the TV series rights.

It's a shame that we need more police, more judges, and more jail space, all at the same time, but why do it with a band-aid. Major surgery is needed to deter crime, and revamping the death sentence parameters is the starting point. Limiting all death sentence appeals to 2 or three years would be a start, but taking the convicted directly from the court room to a public gallows would be more effective as a deterrent, and to stop recidivism. Is that not simple or what?

King Arpege must use the TelePrompters for his speeches because what he says is much easy to be read than spoken from the heart.

He works for free so his savings income is taxed at the rate standard for all Americans and he still pays millions in income taxes, gives away millions of his own money in charitable donations, and the media and King Arpege's strike force make Romney out as a slackard. Romney has more right to challenge the current administration about not giving him, and every other taxpaying American their monies's worth! Romney is an American hero!

Do read the Commentary of Jan Jones & Alisha Thomas Morgan in todays editorial section of the Columbus (GA) Ledger-Enquirer (http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/). It undermines the MCSD argument that passing the "Charter School Amendment" on the November ballot will cut student funding for public schools.

L-E story: "Three Ft Benning soldiers assigned to the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division became American citizens during a Wednesday ceremony at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. * The three new citizens are Spc. Yamilet Terry of Mexico; Spc. Deno Harold of Guyana; and Spc. Ian Desengano of the Philipines. * Becoming a citizen has been Terry's goal since she was in training at the Nationbal Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif., in March. * With the genearl election coming in November, Terry and the others are now eligible to vote for the first time. * "Being able to vote is very important to me, "Terry said, "I believe that every vote counts, and I want my vote to count," -- Hey King Arpege and Eric Holder... are you listening?! How can you make it easier for an illegal, a dead, or otherwise unidentified person cast a vote to counter Spc. Terry's and the other new citizens' first and subsequent votes!?

If the L-E is going to print Real Estate Transactions (and they should), then printing real estate sales should be the primary focus... unless, of course the housing market is so bad that none were closed in the past period.
