Online headline: "Romney Says Susan G. Komen Was Right To Cut Planned Parenthood Funding" -- I agree...not only is it a conflicted detour from the Komen mission, why should an organization be allowed to redistribute people's donations to another charity?

A lobbyist 'gift' cap is good, though eliminating such 'gifts' would be better. Why cannot interest in conversations about legislation just be conducted in a legislators office where records of appointments are kept?

RE: the illegal immigrant who rolled over his infant - Two questions: How did an illegal get a driver's license to begin with, and why wasn't his status revealed when his illegally attained license was 'suspended'?

The Mayor, and the previous mayor making the same attempt, looks only at what appears to be a huge windfall tax increase on all older 'frozen' homes. That might be more, OK, some, positive public response if Mayor Obamalinson approached the matter with diplomacy. For a simple comparison, my neighbor's home is similar in size to mine, but was bought years before me. His taxes this past year were about $3,100.00 and mine were over $5,200.00. I'm not interested, nor would get any satisfaction if he had his taxes raised to $5,200.00, but if a plan were devised that we both paid an equal amount (say $4,150.00,) and there was a reasonable plan by the City for what the City would do in the future about controlling increases, we both would probably listen to such a plan. (Of course getting me to vote against the uncertainty of paying more in the future than I do now would get a resounding "NO" at the polls)

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": " If Obama needs to prove to the state of Georgia where he was born, then everyone in Georgia needs to prove where they were born. No exceptions and no fake papers. " -- Just proves liberals do not understand their own positions. I, too, think all people in Georgia should have to 'prove' where they were born to get privileges and services, like voting, attaining a driver's license, asking for welfare services, attending public schools & colleges, and other perks restricted to citizenship.

Has anyone else had this happen? A week or so ago, my daughter received a 1099 form from North Georgia College and State University. I can only assume that the money paid from the HOPE Scholarship money is now being charged directly to the students as taxable income.

Government Motors paid for at least 6 ads in the Super Bowl. 6 ads at $3.5 Million each is a total of $21 Million paid to GE. That's the same GE that paid no - nada - zilch in corporate income taxes last year, The same GE supporting the demise of incandescent light bulbs. The same GE who's chairman was the lead advisor to potUS O'Blather's economic plan. Oh, and GM want sell anymore VOLT vehicles than idf no GM ads were run at all.

Yesterday around 9:45, I drove past a seeming traffic stop on 2nd Ave (near 19th Street), but there was quite a spectacle going on. There was a red SUV pulled up in a drive way, and 4, count them, 4 police vehicle pulled up behind it on the street. None of the officers had a gun pulled so I assumed it must not be an obvious danger situation. As I thought about that, I figured that for 4 police vehicles, lights-a-flashing, to be there at one time, either traffic offenders elsewhere were having a field day, or some sort of speed trap was being held on 2nd Ave to arrest the church crowd heading downtown.

30 years ago, I had no idea that I would be paying in excess of $5,000.00 (over $6K when you add in vehicles) annually in property taxes in addition to the LOSTs and periodic SPLOSTs that plague our economic recovery. Mayor Obamalinson is not interested in making property taxes more equitable, she's only calculating how much windfall tax revenue would become available for her and Council to spend if everyone paid top tax on top assessments. If Mayor Obamalinson were concerned about the growth and prosperity of the community, she would come up with a plan that would include reductions for the more recent home purchasers as well as the increases to older purchases. She should offer a plan that recalculates the existing home property tax receipts by the new assessments to all home properties which should raise older homes taxes and lower newer homes taxes. Once equity is demonstrated, she might get a few folks to agree with her.

What are the 'educators' in Valdosta thinking! No, make that 'feeling' since obviously the 'educators' have not thought through the consequences of telling students they can retake tests until they pass.

GM/Chevy. which sold only about 600 "Chevy VOLT" vehicles in January, is spending $3,500,000.00 on a Super Bowl ad for the "VOLT". That's over $5,800.00 per January "VOLT" it sold. They would probably sell a lot more just by reducing the cost of a "VOLT" by $5,000.00 and make more profit to pay us back with.

The Susan G. Komen decision to end redistributing its revenues to Planned Parenthood is causing an uproar among select groups, but the question of Komen giving other people's donations to Planned Parenthood for a program of free/low cost breast exams was suspect at best. Women in need of a free/low cost breast exam have other choices for such, but why would Planned Parenthood be in such 'business' without it being for ulterior motives. I hardly think one organization can legitimately be concerned with privately saving a woman's life while publicly promoting the death of that same woman's fetus.

L-E headline: "Senate passes legislation on insider trading ban" -- One more law needs to be added: If you served as the chair or co-chair of any committee setting regulations or monitoring such, then this bill is retro-active to the day you were sworn into either chamber of Congress, and all profits gained be turned over to reduced the National Debt.

L-E headline: "Sandia Labs engineers create ‘self-guided’ bullet " -- Oooooohhh. Can't you see the defense attorneys ready to pounce on
this as a way to get their clients off? "Mr & Mrs Jury members, my client's completely innocent because he was aiming the bullet at his own head, BUT the bullet had a mind of its own and hit his poor departed wife."

L-E headline/story: "ALABAMA GAMBLING TRIAL * GOP leader helps pay Dem’s lawyers * Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh of Anniston donated $5,000 from his campaign fund to the legal defense fund for Sen. Quinton Ross of Montgomery" -- "from his campaign fund"? What abuse! IRS should jump down on this as Marsh has personally stated he converted political donations to personal use.

In an PMSNBC interview, Meghan McCain siad she thinks Newt Gingrich should call it quits. Well, since her father has endorsed Romney, I really don't consider this newsworthy, but she'd have more credibility had she encouraged her Dad to step aside in 2008 so Romney could have run last time.

Online headline: "Obama Banks Record Fundraising Haul" -- Well, since potUS O'Blather seems to be so good at get liberals to support him personally, why doesn't he get those super-wealthy ones to contribute extra taxes to the US Treasury and support his spending addiction?

Tell you what, the end results for the Chattahoochee 'white water' won't look anything like the original concept spiel. Instead of simply restoring the river to its former self, the river bed will be spottily covered with concrete filled sacks called 'mattresses' which will hardly emulate the natural rock/sand bottom.

Online headline: "Democrats Ready Character Attacks Against Mitt Romney" -- "Ready attacks"? That's all the DIM&DUMBERats know how to do since they cannot campaign on their program successes. Fortunately, the Republicans have already aired out all but one of the areas the D&Ds will have to blast Romney on, and that is that Romney is using Greecian Formula 5 on his previously shocking white temple hair. Oh, and of course the D&D's will not mention Romney is a "Massachusetts moderate" because that would cause confusion to D&D voters in New England.

Online story: "NEW YORK — The nation's leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates – creating a bitter rift, linked to the abortion debate, between two iconic organizations that have assisted millions of women." -- Why the 'H' was Susan G. Komen sending funds donated to it to another charity concern to begin with? I don't contribute to Komen so Komen can give some to a charity I do not support, but even if I did support Planned Parenthood, I would not want my donation from one recipient being passed on to another.
Legislators..make this practice illegal!

Online headline/story: "Leaked Secret Report On Taliban Raising Concerns * KABUL, Feb 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said in a secret report the Taliban, backed by Pakistan, are set to retake control of Afghanistan after NATO-led forces withdraw from the country, raising the prospect of a major failure of western policy after a costly war." -- "Leaked secret report"? How long has this been a secret and who had access to "leak" it? Sounds like we need to 'secretly' send back Seal Team 6 to Pakistan (as well as to the group the 'leaker' was/is assigned) with a take no prisoners mission.

If the City is spending $60,000.00 a year outsourcing stump grinding, how does the City Manager think buying its own stump grinder will save money? The stump grinder will have to be staffed by a crew of at least 4 on an annual salary, plus have a truck to pull it, and perhaps another to haul off excessive debris, and what happens when a year goes by without needing and stumps grinded? Council should look real close at this proposal.

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": "The simplistic thinking of some people is amazing: They think that the answer to everything is, “Get a job!” What do you think the Occupiers are protesting?

L-E headline: "Romney: Not focused on poor, they have safety net" -- This phrase, though taken completely out of context, will be the highlight of the most damaging ads potUS O'Blather will run as he gets re-elected.

Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Years ago, before the Council adopted a UGA plan to raise City employees salaries to close the gap between City and private sector ranges, Council decided to allow a great number of employees to take their City vehicles home at night to make up some of the shortage. Now that City compensation is on a par or better with private sector packages, the wide spread practice of providing City employees with take-home vehicles should be revamped. A good place to start would be to take all vehicles away except for police officers, and police and fire officials, with a condition that those employees must live in the Columbus city limits.

L-E headline: "Columbus police may finally get $2.5M computer reporting system" -- A little more information please, as to what $2.5 Million is buying? Is it just software/licensing (and how often the license must be renewed), or does it include new computers for the police vehicles (and how often do the computers needed to be upgraded). Also, is this a program direct from a hardware/software company or through a package put together by a third party distributor or vendor? In this day, $2.5 Million for a computer package is pretty expensive when notebook computers go for under $1,000.00 bucks.

It makes sense in liberal-ese, but not in American. Apple, beloved by liberals for its iconic symbolism against the conservative establishment, is one of the worst, possibly the worst thorn in the side of economic recovery. Not one of its popular products is made on US soil, and it keeps a ton of its $70+ BILLION in cash in overseas accounts.

An economist predicts that by 2100, only 3 languages will be important... English, Spanish, and Mandarin. Makes you wonder why potUS O'Blather thinks we should model ourselves after the French.
