The Breakfast Club - August 14, 2010


Telling it like it is:

Today's Breakfast Club has been complied Friday evening due to our early departure to take our Taylor off to college. We'll spend a glorious day in Dahlonega! The ride home will be a little reflective, I'm sure..
---
Hope I'm the first to bring you the news that Northern LL is going back to Williamsport for another shot at another LL World Series title!
---
Online headline: "President Obama Supports 'Ground Zero Mosque' -- Any surprise? Guess it's time for another name adaptation for him... potUS ZERO-bama.
---
In a similar vein: What's wrong with this picture? potUS ZERO-bama couldn't find time to visit Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day, nor attend the 100th Anniversary Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of America, but he can host a Ramadan event at the White House.
---
Online headline: "UPDATE: Low Oxygen Levels Killed 10,000 Fish Off Jersey Shore" -- Guess Snooki was trying to explain to potUS Nero-bama who she "is/was' and sucked all the oxygen out of the air.
---
Instant repeat: "UPDATE: Low Oxygen Levels Killed 10,000 Fish Off Jersey Shore" -- Maybe locating the 'center' will finally reveal the grave of Jimmy Hoffa!
---
An article on Wednesday said student loan debt has eclipsed credit card debt. Do you understand what this means to small business folk? Since potUS Bero-bama has promised to absorb the student loan debt for those who come work for him, then pretty soon all those students will get specifically created jobs in the government. That means 'we' not only have paid for their education, 'we' will be paying for their salaries/benefits, and 'they' will be telling us how 'we' can/must run our businesses.
---
Since the school zone speed 'flashers' are controlled electronically, why haven't they been coordinated with the new start/finish times? i rode through an elementary school zone about 8:50 AM yesterday, and the crossing guards had left and students had been in their classes over an hour.
---
I understand the DIM/DUMBprats are dusting off the 2008 campaign slogan for this fall. You know, the "Hope and Change" one. Only this time they be 'hoping' their leftist friends aren't completely 'changing' their minds.
---
Online headline: "Russia to Fuel Iran's Nuclear Reactor * Move Defies US Calls to Delay Project" -- Well, how's that 'apology tour' working for you now?
---
WTVM9 headline: "Obama signs $600M border security bill into law" -- Ooops, my bad! Thought maybe potUS ZERO-bama was trying to keep those making over $250K from escaping.
---

The Breakfast Club - August 13, 2010

potUS Nero-bama is claiming Iraq, BP, and the auto industry as "missions accomplished" by him. Hmmm, he would get a little more approval if he aimed his 'pointing finger of blame' at the right targets. He should 'blame' Bush for the successes in Iraq, and God for cleaning up the oil spill, and admit he had no involvement with Ford's recovery (though Biden tried to claim that).
---
potUS Nero-bama's spinmeisters are out hot and heavy dispelling any talk about inflation, but they cannot keep Warren Buffet from moving his bond investment to shorter termed ones in protection against rising interest rates.
---
Online headline: "'Eat Pray Love' Author to Lobby for Gay Immigrants" -- Gimme a break! Has he run out of compatibles on e-harmony?
---
Online headline/story: " Ben & Jerry's Making Bogus Claims, Food Watchdog Says * Ben & Jerry's should stop misleading consumers that its ice cream is "all natural" when it is made using synthetic vanilla, corn syrup and alkalized cocoa -- among other ingredients "not found in nature," the Center for Science in the Public Interest said." -- Ooops, my bad! Thought Ben & Jerry were out praising potUS Nero-bama again...
---
Online headline: "Mike Tyson's Bentley Is Up for Sale" -- Wonder if he's taken a bite or two out of the side mirrors?
---
Government Motors' CEO is stepping down after a posted $1.3 Billion profit. Guess he want's out before the smoke starts rising from the cooked books?
---
GM's interim replacement will be the former CEO of XO Communications which he led for 4 years, then 'left' right before it filed for bankruptcy. Other than the fact he "left', what kinda qualifications does he have?
---
L-E headline/story: "Stimulus funds to help needy with energy costs * Will pay for weather stripping, other energy-saving improvements in homes * The program has a maximum budget of $6,500 for weather-stripping windows and doors on each home." -- Wouldn't it be cheaper if the program just paid the utility bills for a year?
---
That's a first for me...There's an ad in the L-E for an education at Middle GA College. Not only is it offered 'for sale', it appears to be "on sale'.
---
L-E's "QUOTABLE": “Anyone who isn’t confused really doesn’t understand the situation.” Edward R. Murrow American journalist (1908-1965)" -- Hmmm, the first recorded projection that no DIM/DUMBorat would read the HELL-thScare or Bailout Bills.
---
L-E headline: "WikiLeaks prepares to release more Afghan files * Pentagon calls this release more damaging than initial documents" -- Now, this is a 'hole' potUS Nero-bama should (and needs to) 'plug'. Guess he'll vacillate until BP figures this out, too.
---

The Breakfast Club - August 12, 2010

Jihadist and radical Muslim/Islamic people who have no tolerance for Christians, Catholics, or Jews are no different from the KKK or Nazi's or any other genocidal cultures, so why are we Christians, Catholics, and Jews expected to be tolerant of radical Muslim/Islamist and jihadists? There is no valid argument why the media or our government does not confront and condemn this movement, or the Mosque they are trying to build at Ground Zero!
---
Have you wondered why the media, especially CNN, CNBC, ABC, NBC, & CBS, have not gone to Colin Powell to get reconfirmation as to how he 'feels' potUS Nero-bama is doing as President and Commander-in-Chief?
---
Online story: "(Aug. 11) -- The turtle population in the Gulf of Mexico seems to be recovering from the devastating impact of the BP oil spill, experts say. " -- This surely will disappoint wacko environmental activists and agnostics alike.
---
L-E headline: "Signs of regrowth seen in oiled Gulf marshes " -- See above...it's the liberals worst nightmare!
---
Online headline/story: "Gitmo Jury Recommends 14 Years for al-Qaida Cook * "To find out that the first conviction under the Obama administration is accompanied by a secret plea agreement, coupled with a dummy sentence, it's really troubling," said Andrea Prasow, a lawyer observing the hearings for Human Rights Watch. "I think this proceeding was a farce." -- Hmmm, another DIM/DUMB faction disappointed in potUS Nero-bama's campaign promises. Maybe he feels that the former al-Qaida cook was discriminated against as a child because he didn't have access to a good cooking school.
---
Can you imagine this...Harry Reid was elated over the election results Tuesday night; seems a DIM/BUMB won every DIM/DUMB primary race. How do these people ever get elected?
---
Didn't it strike you as 'funny' to see Sea Island Resort offering a "Georgia citizens only" special daily rate of $395.00 a day? It doesn't specify whether that's per person or family, or whether it includes all the amenities/sporting options it shows. Then you really have to wonder what they charge per day for out-of-state customers. Hmm, and they wonder why they went bankrupt...
---
Online story: "Some Democrats are upset and advocacy groups are outraged over the raiding of the food-stamp cupboard to fund a state-aid bailout that some call a gift to teachers and government union workers. * Arguably one of the most outspoken opponents on the Democratic side is Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who has blasted the move as “a bitter pill to swallow” but still voted yes." -- This sums up the evil of the DIM/DUMBorat Party (and a lot of Republicans). Their loyalty is to Party leaders, not the people of their district.
---
You'd think Algore would have rushed to Russia to help put out the fires.....
---
L-E headline: "School board proposes punishment standards for students using cell phones" -- Say what? The MCSD board set punishment guidelines last year; why aren't they just carried out?
---
From same story: "Superintendent Susan Andrews said, after the new policy is implemented, there will be a grace period to allow students and parents to get used to the change in consequences. She suggested the grace period last until the middle of the first nine weeks, but the exact time is still to be determined. * The grace period should be long, board member Rob Varner said, because cell phones are so prevalent. * “It feels like to me that we’re trying to hold back the tide,” Varner said. “It’s such a norm. It’s like putting your watch on every day. It’s like telling the wind not to blow.” -- What defeatist attitudes for anyone serving on a board or in charge of shaping students' lives and development. Life and society have rules, and it's a joint venture for parents and schools to prepare their children/students for assimilating into adulthood.
---
One thing that voters need to keep focused on in November is that no state has done well under the potUS Nero-bama regime, but if a state has a Republican governor, that state has received even less support than other states. On the positive side, Republican led states will recover faster when the DIM/DUMBorat Congress is dismantled.
---
Go, Northern!
---
Pee-wee Herman (a.k.a. Paul Reubens) has re-emerged. Remember when he was arrested and vilified for strange actions in a porno movie house? That will probably be the theme of a new show for him and ABC Family will probably air it just before "The Secret Life of theAmerican Teenager".
---
In a L-E story, a "Fresh Market" customer said, "“I loved it,”she said.“I’m so glad it’s here, so I don’t have to drive to Atlanta.” -- Gimme a break! Who believes anyone drives to Atlanta to grocery shop?
---
L-E headline: "Chaos erupts among housing authority applicants; 20 hurt * Authorities say 30,000 — 3 times more than expected — came out to apply for voucher to get assistance with rent " -- Hmmmm.. looks like confirmation of the old DIM/DUMBorat adage that if you promise Paul you're going to rob Peter and give Paul the money, you'll get Paul's vote. Unfortunately, the DIM/DUMBs have recruited too many Pauls, and there aren't enough Peters left to have enough money to pay all the Pauls that have come out of the woodwork.
---
L-E headline/story: " Air Force Two in minor incident on Long Island * A small private plane parked nearby was lifted a few feet into the air by the jet wash from Biden’s plane as it taxied to take off from Francis S. Gabreski Airport, said Air Force spokeswoman Maj. Michelle Lai. * The left wing of the Piper Cub was damaged but no one was on board, Lai said. Biden’s 757 took off with those on board apparently unaware of what had happened." -- Does this no sum up the whole potUS Nero-bama/Biden/Pelosi/Reid regime in a nut shell? The DIM/DUMBs have no clue to the short term damage they are causing nor it's long term effects.
---
L-E's "Q U O T A B L E": “No two persons ever read the same book.” Edmund Wilson American critic (1895-1972) -- Of course, today, he'd rephrase this to, "No two DIM/DUMBorat Congressmen/News anchors ever read the Hell-thScare Bull".
---
L-E story: "CAIRO — Al-Qaida is appealing for financial donations for the third time in a little over a year in a sign that the terror network might be short on funds. * A message posted on a militant website Wednesday repeats a June 2009 appeal by the group’s top Afghanistan commander, Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed. Al-Yazeed was killed in an airstrike in May. " -- If potUS Nero-bama doesn't use his recently given authority to shut down this website, then he should be barred from ever shutting down any other website!
---
Isn't it nice that Columbus has a talented group of kids representing our city...and they are all from our city...and private citizens, not the city, are picking up the tab? Go, Northern!

The Breakfast Club - August 11. 2010

A Fox News anchor teased his next story announcing that a group of 'rowdy' teens broke a rule by singing our "National Anthem'. Our 8th grade daughter looked up from her homework, and said, "In our country?". Then we find out the teens were at the Lincoln Memorial on 'The Mall' in our nation's capital, and Park Rangers had stopped them because our "National Anthem" was not "content neutral". OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! (The Park Rangers, not the teens).
---
18 months ago, I paid $63.00 for a month's supply of my BP medicine; yesterday, I paid $102.00. Social Security gave no COLA raise this year because SS doesn't find enough inflation to trigger a COLA. Sorry, but a 50% inflationary increase is not hard to miss or ignore.
---
What Charlie Rangel said: 'I Am Not Going Away'. What Charlie Rangel meant: I Am Not Going Away without taking y'all with me!
---
L-E headline/story: "Parent arrested for disorderly conduct on first day of school * She used obscenities toward the school’s principal * (she) also threatened physical violence" -- Obviously, this woman was 'the Voice' of every parent of every child registering this year.
---
Ol' Roy Barnes is claiming it is an asset that he doesn't need to learn how to be Governor as he's had OJT. Is he kidding? The reason he lost the Governor's job to begin with was how he carried on as Governor.
---
Go, Northern! Play hard. Embarrass our MCSD board/administration by missing school the rest of the month. Show them why our schools don't need to start until after Labor Day!
---
For an extra $10,000.00 'piling on' fine, Orly Taitz is extending her '15 minutes of fame' by months.
---
Will someone at the Government Center take charge of old Columbus Square building site? While there are attractive features of both existing buildings and the two proposed buildings, none of the buildings compliment each other or give any unity of purpose to the area.
---
L-E headline: "Obama signs bill to halt teacher layoffs" -- Does that mean all the teachers will have to cancel the travel plans they made for the long furlough weekends?
---
L-E headline: "Taliban blamed for sharp rise in civilian casualties " -- Since the Taliban doesn't wear coordinated uniforms (with the exception of exploding vests), how does one tell whether the dead are actually civilians?
---
L-E headline: "White House unable to track stimulus money * This story was reported by graduate students at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism." -- The White House can't even keep track of "Nobody messes with Joe" Biden who's suppose to be keeping track of the Stim-YOU-LIE monies.
---
L-E story: "The DOE’s Weatherization Assistance Program got $5 billion in the stimulus (a.k.a. 'Stim-YOU-LIE') package, which Congress passed in February 2009. In its first 12 months of existence, however, it had spent only 14 percent of that." -- And I'll bet 99% of that has been spent on salaries/perks for political appointed management.
---
A letter writer brought out that the School Zone speed limits expire at 4:00 PM each day, but that is when her student gets out of school. I have already seen the results of such poor planning by the MCSD board that when I go by River Road Elementary School around 8:00 AM to take my child to her school, that the School Crossing Guards have already vacated the premises, and the School Zone reduction in speed helps no one. Back to the drawing board; back to basics, back to the traditional year and day schedules.
---
Did you see the list of coaches at Carver? There's the head coach plus 13 position/duty coaches. Are all of them on salary?
---
L-E headline: "WORRIED ABOUT RECOVERY, FED WILL BUY U.S. DEBT " -- From who? And with what? The Fed thinks printing more money to buy back debt is a winning combination; heaven help us.
---
L-E headline: "Probe: No new Toyota issues " -- Now that's a condemnation of journalism. Since when is no news newsworthy?
---
What the L-E headline says: "China’s import growth weakens " What the L-E headline means: "China's Import Growth Weakens, because China is now making quality goods it wants to use itself"
---
L-E headline: "3 United flights had long delays in June " -- Too bad some of those delays didn't happen on September 11, 2001. We're one month away from another anniversary of terrorism.
---
Did you hear about the Federal Judge who would not issue a restraining order for the Muslim husband who was abusing his wife? The judge said it wasn't right to penalize someone for his religious beliefs/practices. Wonder how that judge would rule of Mormons returning to its polygamous past?
---
Just when you thought is was safe to go back inti the water... From the L-E "Neighbors" section: " A record hammerhead shark was caught July 28 in Panama City Beach, Fla. by residents from Columbus and Fortson, Ga.: Kane Kennedy, J.T. Thompson, Stevie Argo, David Jackson, Zack Moss, Shaleeia Hamilton, Taylor Blount and Taylor Jones. * The shark measured 12 feet and weighed over 600 pounds. It took over four hours to reel the shark in and another two hours to tow it back to Captain Anderson Marina." -- Bet PCB is wishing this was a report about the oil spill rather than a shark kill.

The Breakfast Club - August 10, 2010

Online story: "WASHINGTON -Records show that about 47,000 people have been removed or deported from the U.S. after the Homeland Security Department sifted through 3 million sets of fingerprints taken from bookings at local jails. * Immigration advocates say that the government instead spends too much time on lower-level criminals or non-criminals." -- DOH! Illegal entry IS a crime, and deporting such for that BEFORE they commit worse offenses is smart enforcement.
---
L-E headline/story: "Columbus ranks second in per capita income among Georgia metro areas * (Becca) Hardin (Columbus Chamber of Commerce) threw out the names of Pratt & Whitney, PCI, NCR, Aflac and TSYS as companies that pay well and are relatively stable" -- Hmmm....Does the Chamber know something about Synovus/CB&T that we don't?
---
L-E story: "Her bus schedule is ridiculous,” Dooley said. “The bus stops down the street from our house at 6:41 a.m. — for a kindergartner. She gets home at 3:05 p.m., which is fair.” -- Attention: Anyone associated with anyone running for a MCSD board seat will get my support/vote if he/she runs on a platform of sanity! Return the school year to a post-Labor Day start and a traditional June ending; that plus eliminating the majority of busing. No kindergartner should be put on a school bus at 6:41 AM!
---
FRom a fellow BCer: " No disrespect to Braves soon to be retiring manager, Bobby Cox, but I wonder why they don't hire a proven winner like Bobby Howard or Randy Morris. Both of these gentlemen know how to win consistently." -- To which I add, they also know how to handle children.
---
Hold on to your wallets! Princess Pelosi has recalled the House to pass "Stim-YOU-LIE" 2!
---
You know, I'll bet we won't see any Lindsay Lohan billboards asking, "Missed me yet?".
---
L-E "soundoff": " I get tired of driving to Phenix City to buy beer on Sunday. It’s a shame and embarrassment that Georgia is one of three states with such an antiquated law. " -- It's a shame that writer cannot predict his consumption rate, and stock up on enough on Saturday to last him for Sunday. It's also a shame he can't give 'it' a day of rest.
---
L-E story: " “I thought he was going to kill us,” said Tshaska Nelson, who said he picked up a beer bottle and smacked the robber on the head, spurring him to flee. “I was (angry) because I just did eight hours. I wasn’t scared because I’ve had guns pointed at me before. I used to be a cab driver.” -- Thank goodness he wasn't working for Taco Bell; he'd have been fired for striking a potential customer.
---
L-E headline: "Study: Little connection between funds, jobless rate * Formulas used for dispersal don’t reflect current reality for unemployed" -- These are the results of "Stim-YOU-LIE", and Pelosi has recalled the House to pas "Stim-YOU-LIE, TOO"
---
From the "suspicions confirmed" department: "BERLIN — A small Hamburg mosque once frequented by Sept. 11 attackers was shut down and searched Monday because German authorities believed the prayer house was again being used as a meeting point for Islamic radicals. * The Taiba mosque was closed and the cultural association that runs it was banned, officials in the northern German city of Hamburg said. * “We have closed the mosque because it was a recruiting and meeting point for Islamic radicals who wanted to participate in socalled jihad or holy war,” said Frank Reschreiter, a spokesman for the Hamburg state interior ministry." -- What timing! Now 'they' can meet at the Mosque they are trying to build in the shadows of Ground Zero.
---
The only comment I will make about FLOTUS Nero-bama's Spain trip is that she didn't bow to the King and Queen.
---
Go, Northern!

The Breakfast Club - August 9, 2010

L-E story: "On Tuesday, Columbus Council will consider a $397,502 contract for Southeastern Site Development of Newnan, Ga., to build a roundabout at the intersection (of Blackmon & Warm Springs RDS), the first in the city since one guided traffic on Benning Road more than 30 years ago. " -- I remember the euphoria when that chaos was transformed, and get reminded of why every time I go to Hilton Head and have to put up with the traffic circles there. Is Red's memory slipping?
---
From a fellow BCer: " .: A boycott of the ABC television network is encouraged because the executives at ABC news are said to have told reporters they could not wear American flag lapel pins or any other patriotic insignia. The network said that ABC should remain as neutral as possible." -- I would say I was going to join this boycott, but I can't remember the last time I watched an ABC News, or for that matter, anything, on ABC. It would probably have been a football game.

---
Did you notice? Notice that when FLOTUS Michelle and Sasha Obama met the King & Queen of Spain, neither bowed, not even a courtsey. Guess the Spanish Royals aren't Muslim...
---
I guess the only blessing we had during this hot summer is that the mayoral race hasn't heated up. Imagine how hot the politics would be if Paul Olson was debating Teresa Obam-linson?
---
So Taco Bell claims salmonella cause by its vegetables...is that some sort of public relations attempt to lure Moms into thinking they are buying well-balanced meals, or is it simple a case of "Mushro-zuma's Revenge"?
---
Why should GA Power Co be able to spend money (which is an expenses) advertising ways we can save $10.00 a month on our power bills, and at the same time, petition the PSC to raise our power bills $10.00 a month?
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “Hope is a waking dream.” — Aristotle, Greek philosopher (384 B.C.-322 B.C.). " -- In a 21st Century update, Aristotle would have added, 'but "HOPE & CHANGE' are an ongoing nightmare'.
---
Hmmm, where's Algore?
---
L-E's "Q U O T A B L E": “Force may make hypocrites, but it can never make converts.” William Penn British colonial leader (1644-1718) " -- Obviously Penn was a visionary who foresaw the coming of HELL-thSCare.
---
potUS Nero-bama promised that every penny of the 'stim-YOU-LIE' bill would be kept track of. In fact, he put "Don't Mess With Joe" Biden in charge. Wonder if potUS even knows where Biden is at the moment.
---
Go, Northern!

The Breakfast Club - August 8, 2010

Online headline/story: "In Detroit, a Weed Academy Blooms * "Our goal is to make Michigan better and increase the economy," said Perry Belcher, a spokesman for MMA. "And having well-educated people grow the best cannabis possible will help." -- Hmmm..it's no longer a question of WHAT have they been smoking, but one of how much and how many times they've been smoking.
---
Political ad of blogger: Deal, someone with a 'grip' on reality vs someone who has only a 'Handel' on it
---
L-E headline/story: " Schools (sic) chief to report 108 employees to state for test violations" -- Is it any clearer that public schools are failing to send out society adjusted young men & women out into the real world? While this was in Atlanta, we've had moments like this here in Columbus.
---
L-E headline: "Man may never walk again after leap from Chimney Rock" -- Bless his heart, and pray for him and his family, BUT this is how the Darwin Awards perpetuate.
---
L-E story: "ANNISTON (Alabama) — Calhoun County deputies say they won’t pursue child abuse charges against a woman who locked her 12-year-old son out of the house all day. * (Sgt John) Garlick says the Department of Human Resources interviewed the woman, who admitted she locked her son out of their home as punishment but had left him water and a tent. * Garlick says DHR doesn’t consider the punishment a form of child abuse." -- On the other hand, if she had done this to her dog, she'd have been in BIG trouble!
---
How come the scientist who claim a non-secular creation of life, and the effect of man destrying Earth, have become so quiet about how Earth has cleaned up the oil spill in the Gulf? Note to such scientists et al: There's plenty of room in my church for you.
---
L-E story: "HAVANA — A lively and healthy-looking Fidel Castro appealed to President Barack Obama to prevent a global nuclear war in an emphatic speech Saturday that marked his first official government appearance since emergency surgery four years ago." Hmmm, I didn't know Communists like Castro believed in a Messiah...
---
From L-E - "MY OPINION * Ethics trials may help, not hurt, Democrats * by Froma Harrup " -- Liberals! I can't help but laugh and cry at the same time! What a well named 'journolist' as she so often sounds like the "harrumph" of a camel.
---
Why is Dusty Nix applauding the Parks&Rec group for opening on weekends? It's AUGUST! What Dusty should be blasting is the MCSD board for starting school in AUGUST when kids should be swimming in water pools rather than swimming in sweat on school buses!
---
It is time for Orly Taitz to 'go away', but Judge Land set the table for her quest for redemption by raising her fine from $10K to $20K. Her argument would have had less sympathy at the lower figure...that was a cost of doing business; adding to that was simply "piling on'.
---
L-E headline: "A fresh look at Chicago from all sides " -- "A fresh look"? With the likes of potUS Nero-bama and his 40 Tsars, isn't that an oxymoron?
---
---
Online headline/story:.Japan's Economic Stagnation is Creating a Nation of Lost Youth * What happens to a generation of young people when: 1- They are told to work hard and go to college, 2- Many of the jobs that are available are part-time, temporary, or contract labor. 3- These insecure jobs pay one-third of what their fathers earned, 4- Low pay makes living at home the only viable option. -- Substitute America/Obamanation for Japan and the story could be about US!
---
L-E headline/story: "Shoppers rack up savings during Alabama sales tax holiday * “They didn’t have any (tax-free shopping) in Columbus, so we came over here to save a couple of dollars,” the 52-year-old said outside of Walmart.' -- 'Nough said about our crack GA economic advisers figuring they could generate extra tax dollar revenue by eliminating the 'tax free shopping' weekend here.
---
Online headline/story: French President Gets New Wheels * The $235M plane is Sarkozy's answer to Air Force One and includes a cigar room and missile decoy system." -- Hmmm, guess for the missile decoy system, the whole plane turns itself into a "white flag"?

---
From the 'it's not one world' department - Online headline/story: "6 Americans on Medical Mission Killed in Afghanistan * (Aug. 7) -- Six Americans, a Briton and a German all working for a Christian medical charity in Afghanistan have been ambushed and killed by militants, their group said today. * Two Afghan translators were also killed with the eight foreign aid workers – three women and five men – whom they'd been helping. Their bodies were found riddled with bullets next to their abandoned vehicles in a mountainous area of Badakhshan province" -- So much for the compassion of Islam.
---
From a fellow BCer:
Lesson for the day.........


A short spelling lesson :



The last four letters in American..........I Can

The last four letters in Republican.......I Can

The last four letters in Democrats.........Rats



End of lesson. Test to follow in November.

L-E headline: "Northern (LL) Produces 'Ugly' Win over S.C." -- There were times a team I was on pulled one out of the hat at the last moment, but there are no 'ugly' wins. There are 'ugly' losses, but every win is a win.

---

L-E's "Today in History" : In 1942, six convicted Nazi saboteurs who’d landed in the U.S. were executed in Washington ; two others were spared . " -- Now that's an illegal immigrant policy that will work! Bet the 'two spared' did not receive welfare, SSI, or Medicaid,either!

---

Parents/grandparents of Winterfield's "Move Against Drugs", keep after'em!
