Never forget!

---

HuffPost headline: "Obama Widens Lead In CNN National Poll" -- CNN poll? By the time November gets here, polls by CNN will have King Arpege getting 100% of the vote. Remember, CNN Baghdad was the network that didn't report Saddam Hussein's atrocities in fear that the executives would not get invited to Hussein's parties.

---

Online headline/story: "Jay Leno Volunteers For 50 Percent Pay Cut As NBC Slashes 'Tonight Show' Budget * After the cut, Leno's new salary will account for $15 million" -- This'll chap King Arpege... now Leno will still be able to talk about Arpege but pay less in 'homage' to support Arpege's tax needs.

---

From the 'I didn't think I could get more disgusted' department - Online headline/story: "Nick Cassavetes Says Incest Isn't A Big Deal, Compares It To Gay Marriage & Asks 'Who Gives A Damn?' * Director Nick Cassavetes ("The Notebook," "Alpha Dog") debuted his controversial new movie this weekend, but his comments in an interview with TheWrap may well out-shine the project itself. * "Yellow" bowed at the Toronto International Film Festival. The movie revolves around Mary, the main character played by Cassavetes' ex-wife Heather Wahlquist. Mary visits her brother in prison, and the two are, as The Wrap's Sharon Waxman notes, engaged in a "love affair." -- I give a DAMN! Add Cassavetes and Wahlquist to the boycott list.

---

Online story: "Serena Vidal, the mother of a 3-year-old boy, is enraged after the bus ride home from his first day of school took five hours -- without stops for food or bathroom breaks, the New York Daily News reports. " -- Wait a minute! I can sympathize with any mother who's upset about the length of time a bus ride took for a child, BUT... BUT what mother puts a 3 year old, much less an autistic 3 year old on a bus unattended! This is clearly a case of child abuse...

Best bumpersticker I've seen in a while in Columbus:

From the 'this headline needs some more clarifying work done' department - Online headline: "Pussy Riot Fest Held In Russia Despite Pressure". -- I guess the HuffPost will blame this on BUSH, too.
---
Online headline: "9 Bizarre Products Released In 2012" -- Wrong! There are 10 bizarre products released this year... the nine in the article plus "Re-elect Obama" signs etc.

Letter to Council following Mike Owen column yesterday:
For over 3 years I tried to tickle y'all into acting on the bicycle problem in the business district, specifically on Broadway, but it is a problem elsewhere as well. This could have been remedied rather painlessly, but it's gotten to where others affected by it brought in the L-E which has presented y'all with a PR problem as well.
It's much easier to just do the right things in the planning stages and at first notice than to put them off until the mole hill has become a mountain.
Whether you put up signs is a choice, but even temporary signs for a 6-to-9 month period will acclimate most riders, but a permanent sign outside of the various bicycle shops will keep this in focus better.
Another suggestion would be to require a one time bicycle registration fee and bicycle 'drivers' test. Bicycle vehicle ID numbers and descriptions would be on hand for theft recovery, and the test would require 100% grades on road etiquette and driving laws. This could be done at point of sale for new bikes, and older ones could go to those shops, or perhaps the library to register/test.
A better informed bicycler is a safer bicycler. Don't forget, a one-time fee would go into the City coffers.
Lots of problems will be solved this way.
Anyway, just a reminder that there are others besides me watching y'all.

AH Eric Holder says he's waiting on the Inspector General's "Fast&Furious" report before deciding on who's responsible. Gimme a break, Holder is just waiting to see how much the Inspector General has on him.
---
In spite of the Chicago Teachers'Union strike closing the schools, the Chicago School System is opening the schools to feed students breakfast and lunch, and free daycare. This just spotlights the loss of focus on what public schools should be concentrating on.
---
There is "Hope' and "Change" in the air. Michael Goodwin, Washington Post columnist and Obama 2008 voter has criticized the DIM&DUMBERat Convention for it's message of despair, entitlement, denouncement. As Mel Allen would say, "How about that."
---
Joe Biden is treading in dangerous waters. King Arpege sent him into a biker bar to campaign. With Biden's history of gagged, the wrong one in a biker bar would make it easy to replace him with Hillary.
---
From the 'you want see this on CNN' department - Centreville, VA had a welcome committee for the King Arpege caravan:
---
Liberal's L-E "soundoff": "Paul Ryan's budget would cause elderly to pay $6,500 more for the same care. Higher education, technical schools, roads, bridges, and veterans' care get defunded. But $3 trillion more in tax cuts for the wealthiest". -- The brand of kool-aid King Arpege distributes should be banned!
---
Usually, this repeat item would come at the end, but today it need to follow the about insaneness:
So President Obama told us that, " You didn’t elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth." Then he went on to explain his college education plan:
· Cut the growth of college tuition in half over the next 10 years
· Recruit 100,000 math and science teachers over the next 10 years
· Train two million workers for real jobs at community colleges -- This has the reality factor of a 21st Century Mother Goose story written for a remake of the Twilight Zone!

Did you read the average salary of Chicago teachers was $76,000...that's $400.00 per working day, $2,000.00 per week. That doesn't include healthcare or pensions. Can you imagine the salaries/perks of the administration? next I want to hear ablout how much higher Chicago students do on their SATs/ACTs...oh.. the same or worse...and the teachers want raises?
---
L-E headline/story: "Judge rules Navy can train near endangered whales * The Southern Environmental Law Center sued the Navy in 2010, saying the range would threaten right whales" -- Bet that if they had been 'left whales', the judge would have ruled for them.
---
After beating Auburn last week, Mississippi State will get a test at Troy this weekend.
---
L-E headline: "Ford to add 1,200 workers at Detroit-area plant" -- Hey King Arpege, you didn't build that! Ford didn't ask for or get the STIM-U-LIE money like GM and Chrysler.
