Online headline: "Paterno family calls Freeh Report 'rush to judgment' of Joe Paterno" -- The Paterno family shoulda just let this 'fire' die down instead of fanning flames. It's like calling a 'time out' when the other team has the ball on your 1 yard line with 10 seconds to go and up by 50 points.

Online headline: "Charlie Sheen Pleads With Wanted Murder Suspect To Call Him" -- Hmmm, I'll bet there are more people who would rather the psycho "call on" Sheen and end the public's misery.

Online headline: "Nancy Pelosi Defends Video Games" -- Yeah, right, like she'd know the difference between the 'left' and 'right' side of a game controller.

Oh, if Nancy Pelosi did have a video game system, she'd have "Mii First".

Lindsey Graham has discovered that the mainstream media loves to put Republicans who joust at windmills as the lead news story. Don't you wish SC Governor had replaced Senator Graham rather than Senator DeMint?

As long as the future of Ft Benning's 3rd Brigade is being discussed, shouldn't discussion/action on Ft Benning buying more land in Stewart County be tabled?

We always hear about the amount pledged to United way each year, but we never hear about how much of the pledge amount is actually collected. I've been told about 15% shortage is about right.

Do have an update to make: The GA DOT "prohibits" installing sprinkler systems in medians like the Veterans Parkway project. The GA DOT should also prohibit landscaping projects medians in urban areas as compacted soil and no consistent irrigation are not conditions that promote self-sufficient flora & fauna. Witness the 29 known deaths (so far) of the trees planted in Phase 1.

By request of a fellow BCer: The "House of Heroes" run is scheduled for May 25-26 (appropriately Memorial Day Weekend). House of Heroes repairs homes of veterans who are disabled and live on fixed income; a most admirable charity. A friend of our fellow BCer is part of a team of 7 veterans/soldiers and 1 spouse with a combined service record over 100 years. Their team name is "8 over 40 in under 40". Their goal is to complete the 260 mile relay run from Savannah to Columbus in under 40 hours, AND raise $20,000.00 ($2,500 per teammate) for the House of Heroes. His friends website is: http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/daniel-bennett/run-for-the-heroes . More can be learned about the House of Heroes at www.houseofheroes.org .

State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.

And he is going to “fix” Washington politics for us???
George Ryan is no longer governor, he is in the big house. Of course he was replaced by Rob Blagojevitch who is...that's right, also in the big house. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago. That’s because he is fighting being sent to…right again, the big house!

The Land of Lincoln , where our governors make our license plates!!!!
