You know, the Ukraine is more than capable of bringing Putin to his knees if it wants to do so. It looks like the majority of Russian oil pipelines to Europe come through Ukraine to get to Europe, so plant electronic activated exploding devices along the pipeline, and say, "it's your choice, your move".

Online headline/story: "Obama-backed gas law finalized * The Obama administration is driving ahead with a dramatic reduction in sulfur in gasoline and tailpipe emissions, declaring that cleaner air will save thousands of lives per year at little cost to consumers." -- It ain't just the Judas 00-Barnum gas that smells... it's the double dose of BS he piles on. Such changes will have a crippling effect the life of cars in the used car market.

Online headline: "$10M in gold coins found in yard might be linked to 1899 U.S. Mint heist" -- Excuse me but what would the government be doing with 1847 - 1894 assorted gold coins in Mint itself? Where'd story come from.. the same safety deposit box where President Obama's birth certificates and college records are kept?

Household tip found while surfing the net:

"When it comes to laundry, you can skip the overpriced dryer sheets. Instead, take a piece of aluminum foil and crumple it into a ball that's about 2-3 inches in diameter. Then place it in the dryer for a frugal way to eliminate static. The best part is that it can be reused over and over for up to six months." -- Haven't tried it yet but am going to do so. We used the non-scented dryer sheets, but if you/your spouse likes a scented one, just take a dry wash cloth with a few drops of "essential oils" (such as lavender et al), and throw that in the dryer as well.

Online story: "George P. Bush has won the GOP primary for Texas Land Commissioner, the Associated Press reports, defeating Republican businessman David Watts. * Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), is considered the favorite to win November's general election." -- I don't know why there are so many atheist liberals... God has given them another generation of Bush to hate. God is indeed good.

Online story: "President Obama's latest budget proposal paints a troubling picture of America's fiscal future:

-- By 2024, the total national debt would rise from $17.4 trillion to nearly $25 trillion.

-- By 2020, U.S. taxpayers would be paying more in interest on the debt than they would on the entire Defense budget.

-- By 2017, those interest payments would be bigger than the budget for Medicaid.

-- You know, Russia is looking more like 'the land of opportunity' in the future... at least for American who work and pay taxes.

Online headline: "Dove Pulls Ad Calling New Jersey 'The Armpit Of America' -- Yeah... we vcan't start demanding "truth in advertising" after all these years.. it would cripple another industry.

How Hitler was able to kill 6,000,000 people while no one lifted a finger to stop him use to mystify me. Now, after 60,000,000+ million Voters returned him to office, I'm not near as confused.

From the "I thought it was odd" department..Shopping in Atlanta yesterday, found some leather jackets made in India. Aren't cows sacred in India?

Economy update: The big trucks about Atlanata are still running lean. It's an important economic indicator.

Latest from the DNC: The DNC wants Democrats to get a new bumpersticker (donation, of course) to proudly identify themselves: "Not a Republican" -- Wait a minute... wouldn't "I'm a Proud Obama Democrat" say it better? Of course, this is not going to happen.. now, maybe, if the DNC offered a bumpersticker that read, "I'm a low, one issue voter" everyone would know without a doubt what they are.

From the "whatta they thinking" department- You know the Committee to Pave the Chattahoochee set out to restore the Chattahoochee River to it's mid-19th Century conditions before dams were built , and got a bit sidetracked and turned it into an amusement ride, but how does an eyesore such as a zipline fit in with the serenity and naturalness of the river and river walk?

From a fellow BCer: "This just in!...... Obama swings into action and unfriends Putin on Facebook!"

Another question to ask incumbent candidates seeking reelection to the MCSD: Why do we have 6,000+ employees for 32,000 students. In ,1990, there were 5,000 enployees and 32,000 students. With so many computers to make things more efficient, why are there more employees?

---

Out-in-the-field report from a fellow BCer: "I was in line at the grocery store Sunday afternoon, behind a woman paying for her purchases with her EBT (food stamp) card. She told the cashier that she was pleased to have an app on her smart phone that enabled her to get cash from the program. Why in the heck does anyone on food stamps even have a smart phone? This abuse of a welfare program needs to be stopped pronto." -- Well done, and well said.

Online quote source: "“Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost any decision is better than no decision at all.” - Brian Tracy" -- Brian Tracy is a Canadian motivational speaker/entrepreneur. Wonder if he'll get his taxes audited by IRS and his Visa revoked by INS?

Preliminary markings have been done to the "$1,000,000.00 Round-a-bout: at GreenIsland Drive/Cascade Road intersection at River Road. Have you seen the area? How can a round-a-bout "work" when the exit is controlled by a traffic light that treats the roundabout exit as secondary to the main highway? Call your Councilor, Glenn Davis in particular, and ask him, since he's lives within a stone's throw of the site. Mayor Obamalinson should either scrap or start it NOW! Green Island residents should know what's in store.

---

You know, constructing the round-a-bout at Green Island Drive and Cascade Road fits the description of "putting lipstick on a pig". It will highlight how ugly the rest of the area roads leading to it are. A Million Dollars would be better spent on widening/curbing and putting in storm sewers in that area.

L-E story: " Special Victim’s Unit detectives are searching for a rapist who has targeted Columbus women between 60 and 80 years old near River Road since late February, according to a news release. * Victims have told police that the man knocks on the doors of potential targets, claiming to need directions. After gaining the women’s trust, he assaults them. Two such incidents have been reported between Feb. 25 and March 3, according to the release. Police say similar assaults have also been reported in Phenix City and Russell and Lee counties in Alabama." -- You know, this could possibly have been averted, especially by the last victim who was assaulted and violated, if crime maps and detail descriptions were available daily online. The police have known what the perpetrator looks like and the car he's driving, and the similarities of cases on both sides of the Chattahoochee. This is something to blame on Mayor Obamalinson, too, as money diverted from the Crime Prevention LOST revenues to pay for frivolous after school programs could have had such a map site up and running already.

We're seeing more and more competing GA state colleges pop up with local classroom sites. Wouldn't it be more prudent and cost effective for the University System of GA to let one only state operation operate in a city/area?

L-E's "Thought for Today, “Boredom is the root of all evil - the despairing refusal to be oneself.” — Soren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher (1813-1855)." -- You know.. this is probably the guiding light for the Judas 00-Barnum game plan to keep more and more people on the government dole versus finding them jobs that would occupy their time better and more productively. How many gang members have W2 forms at the end of the year?

L-E story: " SAN FRANCISCO — Police on Tuesday were investigating the physical and sexual assault of a transgender teen who said he was attacked in a bathroom at a suburban San Francisco public school where another transgender student had reported being the target of bullying. * The 15-year-old student assaulted Monday, who is biologically female but identifies as male, told officers he was leaving a boy’s bathroom at Hercules Middle/High School when three teenage boys pushed him inside a large stall and assailed him, Hercules police Detective Connie Van Putten said." -- You know... just look at the bastardization of the pronouns used... "she' is not a "he". In a comparative nature, would you substitute calling a Democrat politician a jackass just because he calls himself a "Democrat"? Ooops, bad analogy/example.

L-E story: " A senior U.S. drug enforcement official urged Congress and others Tuesday not to abandon scientific concerns over marijuana in favor of public opinion to legalize it * “We should not abandon science and fact in favor of public opinion,” (the deputy administrator for the Drug Enforcement Administration, Thomas) Harrigan said. He echoed previous testimony from James Capra, DEA’s chief of operations, who told a Senate panel in January that “going down the path to legalization in this country is reckless and irresponsible.” * Marijuana is among the most dangerous drugs, it has no medicinal value and it’s illegal in the United States. It’s a stance supported generally by the president’s Office of National Drug Control Policy." -- You know.. do you think Capra and Harrigan will survive the next wave of federal downsizing?

L-E's "Quotable": “The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said.” - Peter Drucker American business leader (1909-2005)" -- "most important"... hmmm. is that also true when you already know Judas 00-Barnum isn't telling the truth in the first place?

L-E headline: "VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN VISITS ATLANTA FOR NUNN FUNDRAISER" -- Wow! That should prove Ms Nunn is not in touch with GA's needs.

---

While we were driving into Atlanta yesterday morning, we saw 20-30 State Trooper cars pulled off the road. We wondered at the time "why"; now we know why... the Governor was making sure Bleep Veep Biden was escorted in and out of Atlanta as quickly as possible to keep Georgians safe.

L-E headline: "U.S. home prices rose at solid pace in January" -- Hmmm, as a homeowner.. I'm glad. As a homeowner in Columbus, I'm even more glad we have the freeze. Otherwise, homeowners in other areas are just going to pay more in taxes. Now, as a home buyer, I'm not so glad... even in Columbus, it means higher taxes when I do buy.

L-E story: " RadioShack said Tuesday that it plans to close up to roughly a fifth of its U.S. locations.
The news came as the retailer reported a wider quarterly loss after a disappointing holiday season. CEO Joseph Magnacca said the closings would leave the company with more than 4,000 U.S. stores" -- You know.. I remember when Radio Shack had over 7,000 stores. I remember thinking that with the introduction of home computers, Radio Shack was in position to own the home computer business. I bought my first computer at a Radio Shack. After owning it for a couple of months, I knew Radio Shack had blown a tremendous opportunity. It's computers were "proprietary". They didn't get along with industry standards in hardware or software. Radio Shack saw the opportunity and took the road to greed. Dell, Gateway, Zeos and other garage-started computer makers kicked Radio Shack's butt.

L-E story: "United Airlines is getting tough on passengers with oversized carry-on bags, even sending some of them back to the ticket counter to check their luggage for a fee. _ The Chicago-based airline has started a push to better enforce rules restricting the size of carry-on bags — an effort that will include instructing workers at security checkpoint entrances to eyeball passengers for bags that are too big." -- Knew it before I got to the word in the story... United is just another example of Chicago political thuggery!
