Online story: "WASHINGTON -- Fiery Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert (Texas) hammered President Barack Obama Thursday for his response to the deaths of four Americans in Libya, suggesting the commander-in-chief handled it cavalierly and was more interested in a "whoop dee doo" campaign stop in Las Vegas. * "We have a leader who takes a minute and a half out on a big whoop dee doo campaign stop, to say 'Wait, wait wait, it's been a tough week, we've lost some people ... an ambassador. Ah, now back to the fundraising and the fun and the cheering for me,'" Gohmert said." -- King Arpege's spinmeisters were mighty upset... yeah, because there's no way for them to spin it any differently.

The White House is backtracking on its statement that King Arpege has missed over half of the foreign policy briefings since he was elected because he read them himself and didn't need to be at those briefings. This just confirms that he doesn't listen to his advisors but it also indicates that perhaps he writes them all, and his policy wonks are just as misinformed as he is.

If you've traveled down 2nd Ave in the last three weeks, you've noticed a City 'message sign' warning us about paving work ahead beginning August 25th. The work was completed by August 26th. The sign was still 'warning us' yesterday. Hasn't the City issued a declaration to defeated political candidates to take down their signs?

Richard Hyatt is spot-on about what our government built buildings are lacking... style, grace, function, and staying power. Who's going to want 100-year-old picture post cards of city buildings 100 years from now? In fact 50 years from now, most of these building will need to be torn down for lack of proper maintenance.. just look at the MCSD schools as a really good example.

There's going to be another whin-a-thon forum at 4th Street Baptist Church lead by the regional director of Southern Anti-Racism Network. Good grief, there has been too much finger-pointing at the wrong reasons. If these involved 'leaders' want to accomplish something, they should be leading by example by motivating individuals to take control of their lives; to set personal goals; to rise up against their community crime tolerance; rebuild proper family structure, and shake off the dependence of government entitlement shackles.

Looks like the King Arpege regime is going to blame Hurricane Isaac for the jump in first time unemployment claims. Wait! How can this be? The media has pretty much moved on from Isaac since King Arpege personally addressed/solved the problems, and anything wrong there is still Bush's fault.

Before any mainstream media tries to associate the rising DOW to King Arpege, facts should be assembled. The main one will be comparing how many people were employed by the DOW components the first time it reached the 13,500 mark versus how many are employed by the same DOW component companies yesterday.
