From the 'another one bites the dust' department - Online story: "Electric car battery maker A123 filed for bankruptcy today, just a few hours after warning it was about to default on its loans, and will be taken over by auto supplier Johnson Controls. * As a recipient of $249 million in grants from the Obama administration, the company's bankruptcy will no doubt become another embarrassment heading into the November elections" -- Well, that $90 Billion in failed green energy loans that potUS Oblunderman saddled the taxpayers with is now $90.25 Billion, and still rising.

The basic aspect the Charter School Amendment is a modified voucher plan that helps parents break out of the limitations imposed by the MCSD. Vote Yes on 1.

Online headline: "New York's Trinity Church forced to cancel Halloween fest over Occupy Wall Street camp" -- Too scary for the children to see....and the squishes were not spaghetti and meatballs.

Millions of 'tweets' flooded the twitter world during the debate. One particularly hit a nerve: "I think the odds that Romney wins a debate twice in a row are as likely as an earthquake hitting Boston tonight." Well, an earthquake did hit Boston last night.

From the 'it's not one world' department - Online story: "BAMAKO, Mali -- A teenaged girl received 60 lashes in Timbuktu after Islamist extremists convicted her of speaking to men on the street. * The girl, about 15 years old, was allegedly caught standing alongside men by the Islamists of Ansar Dine who now run Timbuktu. * The public whipping took place at around 11 a.m. local time in front of the new headquarters of the Islamic police in downtown Timbuktu, next to Independence Square." -- In a word...sharia

potUS Oblunderman said he wants to get AK-47s off the streets, yet ''Fast 'n Furious" put them on the streets of Mexico which have been used against our border police.
---

If potUS Oblunderman had done, even started what he's now promising next term, he wouldn't be sweating re-election. Of course, he did prove in his term that he gets easily sidetracked.

potUS Oblunderman says making insurance companies pay for birth control will take that burden off families. Huh? If the insurance companies know they'll have a $100-$150 per month for contraceptives, the insurance companies will raise the monthly premium by $100-$150 per month whether you use/need contraceptives.

---

potUS Oblunderman said his administration was the most focused ever on being non-discriminatory, yet one of the first things he signed into law was a bill taxing whites who wanted indoor tans.
---

Remember when Clinton and the 92 DIM&DUMBERats promised tax cuts for the middle class, he came out 3 weeks after he took office, hat in hand, saying he had really tried to do it, but he was going to have to raise taxes instead. Only one of the candidates is a DIM&DUMBERat.

---

potUS Oblunderman accused Romney of promising tax rate cuts for all... sounds good to me.
---

I want to know how wind and solar energy is going to increase, uh, double, my SUV gas mileage that potUS Oblunderman says it will.
---

potUS Oblunderman told a college student that the car industry had surged back... Didn't the president's symbolic "The VOLT" have to shutdown in September?
---

Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Ford, Hughes, Edison, Rockefeller,JP Morgan, Mellon, et al... Wonder what their reactions would be if potUS Oblunderman told them, "you didn't build that"?

---

Can you imagine the "Industrial Revolution" happening if unions and OSHA and potUS Oblunderman had been there?

---

Online headline: "State Executes First Prisoner Since 2007" -- This is exactly why the death sentence is not as effective as it should be. Executions should be prompt, oftem, and public if the death penalty wants to be an effective deterrent.

---

While everyone really does empathize with the death of the young woman killed by the police vehicle this past weekend, what was the pedestrian's responsibility for crossing the street there, and what was her B.A.C.?
---

Some "debate professional" says Romney needs to show TV viewers that he empathizes with potUS Oblunderman (and his fiasco sidekick) . BS! Romney needs to empathize with the TV viewers' needs, not the Dumbnamic Duo.

Monday, my daughter and I observed a school bus speeding in one school zone, and Tuesday, we got passed by Police car in another one. How about you professionals setting better examples for my 15 year old student driver.

L-E story: "The rates of six of the seven most serious crimes are down over the first three quarters of the year, compared to a year-to-date average of the last six years." -- Averages are nice if you are an insurance actuary, but I would like a comparison against the most recent year to get an idea of the trends.
---

It's interesting how potUS Oblunderman will cherry pick jobs figures from the last two or so years without bringing up the job losses from his first two years. Overall job gain is about 200,000, and the bulk of those are government jobs that actually put a drain on economic recovery.

---

You know, in the debates, Romney looks/sounds more like the sitting president talking about his accomplishments and records, while potUS Oblunderman sounds/looks more like an unproven challenger with no accomplishments he wants to point to.

Auburn takes on Vanderbilt this Saturday. Vandy is a 7 point favorite. Looks like Harvey Updyke may have killed more that the oaks in Auburn.

Thought to ponder passed on by a fellow BCer: " Absolutely brilliant in its simplicity! A) Stop arguing and let those men who want to marry men, marry men. B) Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women. C) Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies. D) In three generations, there will be no Democrats. -- As John Lennon once wrote, "Imagine".
