From what I observed, the offensive coordinator of Alabama should be inline for a new coaching gig, but that last play called by UGA has may be a career ender for Bobo. On the other side, both defensive coordinators dropped numerous notches for consideration for a top head coaches position elsewhere. Notre Dame's coaches must feel a sigh of relief at this moment.

Online story: "Harvard University, home to the best and the brightest, now has an official club for the kinkiest. * Harvard College Munch for the BDSM set will be approved as a student organization on Friday, the Crimson reported. * one Munch member told the Crimson that the club could provide a haven for those who engage in BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism) after they have been scarred by sexual abuse or other trauma. * Harvard spokesperson Jeff Neal told The Huffington Post that the college does not endorse the views or activities of any independent student organization." -- Aside from establishing that Harvard can no longer make the claim that it is the "home to the best and the brightest", I can't wait for parents to discover what their children are writing home for money to buy kinky books and gadgets. I also can't wait for some 'brilliant' Harvard grad to include "Munch" membership on his/her resume' to a bank or Chik-fil-A.

Online headline/story: "Walmart's New Health Care Policy Shifts Burden To Medicaid, Obamacare * Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer, plans to begin denying health insurance to newly hired employees who work fewer than 30 hours a week, according to a copy of the company’s policy obtained by The Huffington Post. * Under the policy, slated to take effect in January, Walmart also reserves the right to eliminate health care coverage for certain workers if their average workweek dips below 30 hours -- something that happens with regularity and at the direction of company managers." -- And what did the DUMBERats who passed HELL-thScare 'think' businesses would do? Even a college in Pennsylvania is putting a large number of professors on a max of 25 hours a week for the same reason. Businesses will do what businesses have to do to survive government intrusions. Is government intrusion into healthcare any less intrusive than government regulating what goes on in our bedrooms?

Speaking of survival, Costco has just announced a $3 BILLION dollar dividend to its shareholders to be paid this month so the shareholders will only be hit with the current 15% tax rate, rather than the possibility of some ungodly/unknown tax rate in 2013. This money probably was held by Costco with the intent to expand, to grow itself, but government intrusion has altered Costco executives directions as they do what is best for the shareholders.

Online headline: "Australia's Cigarette 'Plain Packaging' Law Comes Into Effect" -- Vivid graphics will not stop smokers. Smokers will find neutral, or even attractive alternatives to repackage the cigarettes if the graphics bother them, but nothing government does will be effective as long as government is more interested in the taxes cigarette purchases generate.

The 2012 college football season will have to be known as the "year of the ugly uniform". Oregon and Missouri probably led the category in quantity of different ugly works, but South Carolina and Stanford may have the lock on a 1 game ugly uniform usage.

Why is it so hard for the Speaker of the House to stand up in front of the media shaking a copy of the House Bill fully extending the current tax rates and bragging that the Republicans stand for not raising taxes and put the monkey on the DUMBERat Senate to do the same?

---

Only DUMBERats produce polls/surveys showing "trickle down economics" doesn't work, yet in periods of sensible tax cuts, both the GDP and tax revenues rise 'fast and furious'.

From the 'out of the past' department - Remember Boris the Stegosaurus? What started as a Museum promotion ended up in the median on Broadway, but what has happened to it since? Was it stolen, sold off, misplaced or what?

The staffer jobs at the L-E must really be under immense pressure. That's the only thing I can relate to the giddiness the staff writers have shown for now being able to buy bottles of liquor and beer in Columbus on Sundays.

L-E headline: "COLUMBUS CONSOLIDATED GOVERNMENT * Group urges changes in city revenue gathering * Volunteer 11-member commission identifies nine potential sources of revenue for city " -- If a committee is organized by the mayor, you can bet it wasn't staffed by an open call for volunteers. You can be all members were hand selected with an agenda in mind, just not paid up front. If the city is serious about raising more tax revenue, a good place to start would be collecting sales taxes on lawyers' fees.

L-E story: "Enrichment Services Program, Inc. will provide heating assistance for eligible residents of Muscogee County who are 18 years old or older beginning Dec. 3. " -- Who runs "Enrichment Services Program, Inc." and how is it funded? A search of Georgia Corporations turned up this response, "No Records were found for the search criteria 'Enrichment Services Program' on 12/2/2012 6:36:01 AM". This has a distinct odor to it!

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": "You who let your cats roam throughout the neighborhood should thank God every time they return home unharmed. My sister just totaled her car and bruised herself swerving to avoid hitting one. " -- The writer's sister should re-read the GA Driver's Manual before endangering humans and private property avoiding an animal darting into her path. Problem solved.

L-E headline/real story: "FISCAL CLIFF * Supporters rally for Obama plan * Group wants to end tax cuts for rich and maintain social security * Those were among the signs displayed during Saturday’s rally at the eternal flame outside the Columbus Government Center as 16 folks gathered in support of a national budget agreement by the end of December to prevent the country from going over the “fiscal cliff.” * The event is part of a statewide tour organized by the Georgia chapter of the AFL-CIO labor union." -- This was not a 'rally'; this was 16 union paid flunkies gathered at a protest against how they voted in November.

L-E headline/story: "GEORGIA SCHOOLS * Graduation rates for minorities lag * One official says standards in initial grades are too low * ATLANTA — High school graduation rates for black and Hispanic students are lagging in Georgia, according to an analysis by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. " -- It's taken nearly 50 years for the AJC to 'discover' this? What the AJC needs to do is apologize to all Georgians for all the stories it has run over the years making unfounded excuses for the school systems' failure. Poverty is a condition, not the reason.

L-E headline: "WEST POINT, N.Y. — Cadet Chapel, the landmark Gothic church that is a center for spiritual life at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, hosted its first same-sex wedding Saturday.

The L-E's Dusty Nix writes: "Please, Auburn … get anybody else. Anybody. " -- Isn't that exactly what they got when they got Chizik?

L-E's "Thought for Today": “Great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes. Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them.” — Washington Irving, American author (1783-1859)." -- Never have I seen such a succinct definition of delineating a purposeful conservative and a wishful liberal.....

Leonard "The pits" Pitts writes: "Just another victim of black blindness? Call it black blindness. It is a kind of myopia that afflicts some of us — too many of us — whenever we gaze upon a dark-skinned man. It causes some of us — too many of us — to see things that are not there, and to miss things that are. Sometimes, it is fatal." -- Pitts just sees himself in the mirror, doesn't like what he sees, and blames everyone else.
