Two online headlines of "class destruction": "John McCain Softens Opposition To Susan Rice Nomination" & "Lindsey Graham: 'I Will Violate The Pledge' To Not Increase Taxes" -- These two make Jimmy Carter seem pertinent. The Republican Party needs to declare a moratorium on TV appearances for McCain and Graham! They are supplying the DUMBERats with every 'sound bite' the 2014 & 2016 DUMBERat National Committee needs to win the Senate and House.

---

Online headline: "LIPA (Long Island Power Authority) Customers Left Without Power For Weeks Sent Normal Electric Bills Despite Blackouts" -- Don't think that wouldn't/doesn't happen here, too. That's the political power of unions and their lobbyist. And do you think the 18,000+ Twinkie makers who lost their jobs will get another union job if they don't stay current with tyheir union dues?

---

Fixing 'loop holes' and such in the corporate tax scenario will not fix the National Debt. There shouldn't even be any corporate tax!

---

From a BC friend: "Surfing at home and abroad this am yields two vexing cogitations that I don't understand all I know about. The first is raw data from IRS that says that the top 1% of income producers paid 22% of federal income taxes, the top 5% paid 40% of income taxes and the top 20% (likely a healthy % of my FB friend list that I know about) paid a whopping 64% of all income taxes in 2009. What the heck is THEIR FAIR SHARE I keep hearing about? YOU GOTTA PUT OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE." -- The amazing aspect of this is that these observations were penned in such brevity by one whose life occupation is one developed to extend his every utterance so that more time can be billed to his clients. This is almost a "paradigm shift".

---

Looks like the 2013 calendars are already out of date. Groundhog Day was celebrated on this past November 7th. potUS Oblunder stepped out of the White House, saw Oh! Fluster shadowing him, and the economy recovery was set back another 4 years.
---

Have you noticed the automobile ads becoming more aggressive in recent weeks since the election? Guess those who voted for potUS Obluster are waiting for free ones, and the rest holding on to their cash.

---

potUS Obluster can speechify he's standing on "principle" in wanting to raise taxes only on the wealthy, but he's really only standing in the way of recovery.

---

HuffPost headline: "Israel's Deeply Troubling Attacks On Journalists" -- Excuse me... Israel has stated many times it will defend itself from terrorists and all their supporters...what's 'troubling' about that?

---

L-E story: "Chizik's assistants have not been fired. If they are, according to a press release from the school, the cost to buy out all of their contracts, including Chizik's, would be $11.09 million." -- This is just confirmation that there is too much money in college sports! AU will spend that much more in replacement coaches as well.

---

Chizik accepting a buy-out package just proves he's wasn't worthy of the position to begin with. A worthy person would have simply resigned and walked away after the season AU just had.

---

After all the time it took to get the parking lot at Columbus Square ripped out and replaced with grass, if the MCSD board builds an Arts Academy school there, the whole area will be back in concrete and asphalt.

---

From a fellow BCer: "Should a president lead citizens in a national prayer of repentance? Uganda’s Christian president believes so. The Ugandan newssite New Vision reports President Yoweri Museveni celebrated Uganda’s 50th anniversary of independence from Britain at the National Jubilee Prayers event by publicly repenting of his personal sin and the sins of the nation." -- This amidst a Muslim world. Praise God!
---

I get my L-E delivered digitally, but of late, the print edition seems to have a better "on time" performance, and that has to be delivered by trucks from Montgomery versus a few milliseconds by cable. What gives?

Online headline: "Clown Dies During Thanksgiving Parade" -- Ooops. my bad. Rumors of Mayor Bloomberg's death were exaggerated.

---

Online headline/story: "Schools Failing To Support Pregnant Teens, Study Says * MIAMI -- When 15-year-old Kali Gonzalez became pregnant, the honors student considered transferring to an alternative school. She worried teachers would harass her for missing class because of doctor's appointments and morning sickness. * A guidance counselor urged Gonzalez not to, saying that could lower her standards." -- "Lower her standards"? There are no longer standards in public schools.

---

DUMBERat spinmeisters are out denying illegal aliens awaiting deportation action are eligible for government programs such as food stamps, housing and med care. Remember potUS Oblunder's Auntie Zeituni? She's still illegally here, and she's still on the public dole of public housing, food, and med care, AND free legal services.

---

A DUMBERat spinmeister is out claiming strong unions are good for the economy because they put more money in their member pockets to spend in their communities. Huh? Does the guy even know about the now 18,000 displaced Hostess Twinkies workers, or know how bad the local Detroit economy is in spite of an average $78.00 per hour the car makers pay?

---

Justice has a way of appearing in unexpected ways, especially if you are a Pennsylvania college professor who encouraged students to vote for potUS Obluster because of HELL-thSCARE. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Community College Of Allegheny County has decided to limit some of its professors to 25 hours a week which puts them on a part time status which eliminates the college from having to provide them healthcare.

---

Catastrophic union labor defeats; college professors having hours cut to save on HELL-thSCARE costs; seems to me, there's a tsunami of buyer's regret for potUS Obluster's Marxist makeover for AmeriKa.

---

Military body armor has been recalled as defective. The company says it has a repair solution. I have a suggestion on retesting the body armor in the future. Board members and top executives must wear the armor for future testing before Amy piece is issued to our military or police forced.

---

After the last election. Denver confirmed its claim of bring the "Mile High City".
---

I heard a newscast promote celebrities as "Hollywood's brightest stars". "Hollywood's brightest stars"? Definitely the top oxymoronic analogy of the decade.

---

Media reports citizens in Cairo are rebelling over Mohammed Morsi declaring himself "above the law". We are in more trouble than we think. potUS Obluster did the same but our mainstream media saw to it he got re-elected.

---

Washington state and Colorado voters passed laws allowing marijuana for recreational use. Doh!

---

From L-E story: "I think we would be in a complete violation of the people's trust if we did not fulfill what we promised them that they voted for. ..As long as the receipts will cover the items articulated, you have to fund those first. I don't think we have a choice legally." Cathy Williams, school board chairwoman" -- The 'complete violation of the people's trust'? The MCSD lost that when it proposed $50 million more in projects than it knew SPLOST receipts would cover! All those phantom project wishes were added into the proposal simply to buy individual district representatives and voters support. These false projections of revenue border on, if not define, bribery.

---

From the L-E's publishing of Columbus Council's agenda: "(12) A Resolution authorizing a Special Exception to allow existing buildings located at 3604 Macon Road that are greater than 5,000 square feet under roof and are located in a NC (neighborhood commercial) zoning district. The Planning Advisory Commission and the Planning Department recommend approval. " -- This is quote-unquote wording. Can anyone tell me what exactly is the "Special Exception" the Planning Advisory Commission and the Planning Department are recommending Council approve?

---

The marketing department for the ACC must really feel like resigning today. Yesterday Ga Tech lost to UGA, and Florida State lost to the Gators, and the ACC marketing team has one week to convince advertisers that record numbers of TV fans will be watching the 6-6 Yellow Jackets play the Seminoles after both teams lost to their instate rivals from the SEC.

---

L-E story: "Hundreds of gay rights activists marched through New Delhi on Sunday to demand that they be allowed to lead lives of dignity in India's deeply conservative society." -- A good start would be to "be dignified" in the way they k]live their lives. Raucous "gay pride" exhibitionist-oriented parades do not send a 'dignified' message.

News stories concerning Walmart included digs by customers agreeing with the strikers because the customers would rather be with their families than work on Thanksgiving Day.........DOH! Why weren't those customers at home with their families rather than out shopping on Thanksgiving Day?

The last time I ventured to a shopping mall the weekend after Thanksgiving was at the Mall of America in Minnesota in 1992. I had seen a piece about the Mall of America (at 4.5 MILLION square feet, America's largest) on a Good Morning America show the prior September. It said the M of A was expecting 180,000 people on Black Friday... 180,000 people was the population of Columbus, and I wanted to be there to see/experience that.
---
L-E writer Dimon Kendrick-Holmes wrote about the search for a new school superintendent: "The bigger you are, the slower you move. That applies to just about everything except maybe SEC defensive linemen. It certainly applies to the Muscogee County School District. " -- It's not the size of the MCSD that's the problem (the number of public school students hasn't varied by more than a few hundred since 1990, and currently has the same amount of students as it did in 1990), it's having to many heads on one body, each wanting to move in opposite directions (sorta like the cartoon character, Cat-Dog).

L-E headline: "Arafat's remains said to be exhumed Tuesday" -- well, let's just make sure he's dead when they re-inter him!

What a relief it was yesterday to turn on the TV to catch a Thanksgiving Day Parade and it not be one from San Francisco with Council approved naked guys.

---

Online headline/story: "Susan Rice Defends Benghazi Remarks: U.S. Ambassador Dismisses McCain Accusations * "When discussing the attack against our facilities in Benghazi, I relied solely and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community," she said." -- Loyalty is a wonderful trait...blind loyalty at the expense of truth is Machiavellian at best.

---

For Jesse Jackson, Jr to resign from Congress from a Chicago Congressional District must mean he really p-offed DUMBERat powers that be.

---

Looks like I'll be shopping at Walmart for anything they carry on our lists. Walmart has become purely a target for unions. If you see any protesters, let'em know you're shopping at Walmart just to deflate union efforts.

---

It's almost fitting, almost ironic, that the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is held in the city with the most gas filled political figures... Clinton, Rangel, Schumer, Bloomberg, Sharpton, and Cuomo.

---

San Francisco has to be the only place a Victoria's Secret fashsion show would be referred to as a modest event.

---

potUS Obluster pardoned Cobbler and Gobbler, but who is impowered to pardon Washington's two biggest turkeys, Obluster and Oh! Fluster?,
---

Mayor Bloomberg of New York was on CBS telling us people in other countries can't visualize being in a county that government doesn't interfere their personal lives. Huh? This coming from a man who banned larger than 16 ounce sodas in his city?

---

How disgusting can NBC get? In his moment of "stardom" on the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, Al Roker was little more than a commercial messenger for the Weather Channel and reality show, The Biggest Loser". Well, Al Roker was undoubtedly the biggest loser on TV yesterday.

---

L-E story: "CAIRO — Egypt’s Islamist president (Mohammed Morsi) unilaterally decreed greater authorities for himself Thursday and effectively neutralized a judiciary system that had emerged as a key opponent by declaring that the courts are barred from challenging his decisions. " -- Hmmmm, a simple case of 'monkey see, monkey do' as Mohammed Morsi copies Hussein Obluster.

---

There is something wrong with our juvenal justice system if it takes between $29,000.00 and $90,000.00 per bed to incarcerate each juvenile simply because recidivism is so high. Incarceration that doesn't drive home the point that a juvenile criminal doesn't ever want to go back to jail is a waste of tax dollars. Obviously, too many juveniles look at jail as an acceptable alternative for 3 squares, a bed, and a roof, versus earning one's way honestly in the outside world.

---

I do not know which Gene Chizik should feel most embarrassed about... his 3-8 record or having the NCAA investigate his recruiting players to have a 3-8 season?

Gobble, gobble... may we even find the blessing potUS Obluster has deep inside.

---

Online story: "NEW YORK –- MSNBC President Phil Griffin labels his network's sensibility as progressive, but the cable news channel could also be described these days as simply pro-Obama. * In the final week of the 2012 election, MSNBC ran no negative stories about President Barack Obama and no positive stories about Republican nominee Mitt Romney, according to a study released Monday by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism." -- That explains the new MSNBC motto that's floating around..."All the news that's S**t to present"

---

Online headline/story: "Osama Bin Laden Death: New Details Revealed About Burial * The Pentagon also said it could not find any death certificate, autopsy report or results of DNA identification tests for bin Laden" -- Guess the death certificate musta been filed in Hawaii.

---

Online story: "In preparation for a possible $30 million cash shortfall, Detroit Mayor Dave Bing said Wednesday the City would implement unpaid furloughs for workers beginning Jan. 1, 2013 as well as "other cost-saving measures." -- Hmmm, guess Detroiters will have to rely on their "Vote Obama" pension funds.

---

Online headline: "Jesse Jackson Jr. Resignation: Illinois Congressman Is Leaving Congress" -- Another one... Thanksgiving is really bringing the turkeys out of the closet.

---

The White House released a statement yesterday saying that his only official event of the day would be to " pardon" the White House turkey. I guess that is all the time he'll have free after deciding which of the White House turkeys most need a presidential pardon.
---

Online picture:


White House ceremony pardoning two white turkeys.

---

Even though I put the e-mail address from barackobama.com in my 'spam filter', I'm still getting a few. One yesterday filled with potUS Obluster's 'plan' was also seeking donations. The election is over. This should be illegal for a second term president

---

A basketball player at Grinnell scored 138 points in a single college basketball game. No word as to whether or not he had any assists.
---

Now, after constant denial, the head of National Security, James Clapper, now says it was he who changed the CIA's "talking points" associated with the Benghazi terrorist attack. I can only surmise that somewhere along the line, he changed the spelling of his name... and substituted for a "r" with a "l".

---

From a heads up from a fellow BCer: His social security check is now called a Federal Benefit Check. Excuse me, but our social security checks come from the wallets of ourselves and our pre-retirement employers. Now, if potUS Obluster wants to re-label SS checks paid to non-qualifying recipients, so be it, but he had no right to claim the same to those who paid into it all their lives.

---

Two questions: Has anyone seen or heard anything on the $500,000.00 hybrid buses the city bought with the "Stim-YOU-LIE" funds, and has anyone seen the current enrollment figures at CSU for the fall semester? CSU made a lot of noise when the figures were growing so I'm guessing the fall figures may not have been so good.

---

Any chance we can get Eddie Lowe (or all the Lowe's) to move to Columbus and be ready to run for mayor here in 2014?

---

L-E headline: "Big disappointment in brain injury treatment study " -- Ooops, my bad. Hoped a cure for "You can't fix stupid DUMBERat voters" was going to work.

---

I thought Marl Shelnutt was exiled from Muscogee County; why are there still court actions with his involvement going on?

---

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": "If $100 billion of American corporate money were going to the Cayman Islands each year, that would be $1.76 million per resident per year. " -- New math? If $100 billion were distributed in $1.76 million dollars 'grants", only about 57,000 could do so. That would mean 310,943,000 (98.17%) American would get nothing. That would mean that of the 99 percenters, most would be worse off than they were when they started "Occupying".

---

I guess it WAS a blessing for New Yorkers (et al) to see the GA Power teams in their neighborhoods, but will Con Ed (et al) make donations to GA Power so OUR rates won't go up?

---

The only way the Bush Tax Cuts will be extended will be if the mainstream media starts referring to such as what they will be, the potUS Obluster Tax increases on the middle class. Heaven forbid the effects on the economy, and every pension and savings accounts if dividends and capital gains get taxed as ordinary income!

---

Has it occurred to you that one day the ACLU may file suit to end Thanksgiving because it, too, is a day of prayer for God's blessings? Thanxalot, ACLU.. NOT!

---

If anyone doesn't see the pitfalls of once-a-week garbage pickups, remember your day could be a Thursday or a Friday, and during Thanksgiving weekend, the garbage you had from the previous week might still be around when this weekend's garbage is picked up the following Thurs/Friday. The same can occur on many National Holidays as well.

---

L-E headline: "Elmo actor resigns amid sex allegation " -- Hmm sorta brings a sickness to the "Tickle Me Elmo" collection.

---

After all the travails of finding "Trouble With The Curve" showing at a time we could fit in to our schedules, my bride and I managed to catch it at the Peachtree 8 on Tuesday. It was a cute, uplifting movie about father-daughter relationships and the diminishing aspects of aging. It didn't do well at the box office as it's timing followed Eastwood's debate with a chair, and the liberal media critics panned this movie in revenge. Check it out if it's still showing in your area, and it'll be a worthwhile purchase/rental when available on DVD/Blu-Ray.

Online story: "Mohammed Ludovic Lütfi Zahed wants to open a mosque for gay muslims in France. According to Hurriyet Daily News, Zahed realized he needed to start a "mosque for gays" after going on the holy pilgrimage. * Whereas a new generation of younger Muslims are seeking LGBT-friendly mosques as well as progressive reform and open acceptance of same-sex marriages" -- Can't wait for our mainstream media to start calling Ahmadine-JIHAD a bigoted, sexist homophobe, and mainstream media seeking political asylum at Fox News.

---

How come no one is accusing Muslims for being religiously intolerant? Let's face it, indiscriminately firing missiles into Israel is keeping Christians from visiting the birthplace and historic monuments of Jesus' life.

---

Congressman Marcia Fudge, D*D-Ohio, just threw the first race card of the 2014 & 2016 election campaigns. She accused Republicans of genderism and racism because Susan Rice is being called to be accountable for her falsehoods concerning her Benghazi statements. Shame on Congressman Fudge and DUMBERats everywhere. BTW, Congressperson Fudge is the new chairperson of the Congressional Black Caucus. Guess that means racial advancement will be "put on further hold" for the next few years.

---

Maryland leaving the ACCESS to join the Big 10... the ACC wins. Hmmm, another "win" would be for Washington, D.C. to secede and join the Europian Union.

---

We enjoy watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark station, but it's discouraging that whenever someone says, "this or that is what Christmas is all about", it's usually about his/her presents, not His presence.

---

Isn't it ironic, maybe more mo-ronic, that atheists, and non-Christian religions want to share in Christmas, but don't want Christians to display the reason for the season?

---

Another Islamic nation has now called Israel a terrorist state. Turkey has now confirmed its Muslim control.

---

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": "The Ledger was free to look at online, and now it’s not. Being a liberal rag must be hurting your business. " -- No, the L-E is feeling the effects of supporting potUS Obluster's entitlement agenda, and after getting free Obamaphones, the parasites now want free Obama-news.

---

An aged liberal's L-E "soundoff": "I’m so old I can remember when the Ledger-Enquirer wasn’t filled with liberal nonsense and it was delivered on time." -- None of those conditions ever existed; that's just your Alzheimer's kicking in.

---

L-E headline: "Fulton Co. delays vote to fix faulty jail locks" -- Yeah, why fix'em when the courts consider them swinging doors.

---

Whatta blow to marijuana users in Colorado and Washington State.... no more Twinkies when the munchies set in.

---

L-E story: "The new Phenix City Council unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday night that will put the brakes on future municipal borrowing while it awaits results from city audits dating back to 2010." -- I usually don't report on activities across the river, but this is a significant step for Phenix City. Wish our Council would do the same.

---

From the 'only in Pelosi-land' department - L-E headline/story: "San Francisco barely approves nudity ban * Faced with complaints about a band of so-called Naked Guys gathering daily in the Castro District, Supervisor Scott Wiener introduced legislation last month to ban public nudity citywide, except for at permitted festivals and parades. * When the final vote was taken, the supervisors cast their ballots 6 to 5 on Tuesday to require clothing under most circumstances on the streets of San Francisco." -- Whew. for a moment there, I was thinking we wouldn't get see any naked "Toms or Hens" in the Thanksgiving Day parade.

---

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — The nation’s health care overhaul took another step forward Tuesday when the Obama administration proposed new rules that clarify insurers’ duties and legal responsibilities under key provisions of the Affordable Care Act. * The law, which critics have long referred to as “Obamacare,” makes it illegal for insurance companies to deny coverage to people with preexisting conditions, beginning in 2014." -- Not until "2014"? And you only thought you'd seen the affect of HELL-thScare on your insurance premiums... the main cost increases are yet to be.

---

Over-the-counter-birth-control-pills? The nation's largest group of OB-GYNs are now advocating such. Can you imagine the effect on preteen girls buying such without their parents knowledge? Or, the school system requiring them in sex ed classes? This madness has to end!

Online story: "The word of the year, according to Dictionary.com, is 'Bluster', we can exclusively reveal. * Dictionary.com defines the word thusly: 1. to roar and be tumultuous, as wind; 2. to be loud, noisy, or swaggering; utter loud, empty menaces or protests: He blusters about revenge but does nothing." -- NAME CHANGE! potUS Oblunder now becomes "Obluster" and the Dumbnamic Duo becomes "Obluster and Oh! Brother".

--

Online headline/story: "Obama Says Burma, Myanmar Both During Landmark Visit * The issue is so sensitive that Obama's aides had said earlier Monday he would likely avoid mentioning either politically charged name. But he used both during his six-hour trip – "Myanmar" during morning talks with Thein Sein, "Burma" afterward while visiting with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi." -- Why doesn't this come as 'no surprise'; I often wonder whether he refers to the United States of America as 'the Colonies' when speaking in England.

---

Why do we have an elected school board if members won't vote on issues that need addressing because someone or some group doesn't want anything to be changed ? Just one more good reason why passing the Charter Amendment was necessary.

---

Once again, why is the interim superintendent the school board messenger sent out to be slaughtered. SPLOST issues are not the realm of an interim hire.

---

I just had a KitKat Halloween candy bar... the chocolate was Orange colored... there ought to be a law against such sacrilege.

---

Observation from a fellow BCer: "OVER 20,000,000 OBAMA PHONES, COSTING SOME 15.00 PER PHONE PER MONTH. THAT ‘S SOME 3.6 BILLION A YEAR. OVER 10 YEARS THAT WOULD SAVE 36 BILLION. NOT BAD CHUMP CAHANGE. THIS NUMBER COULD PROBABLY BE DOUBLED." -- Sometimes, you just have to scream.

---

Let's face it, any investigation started, even encouraged, by D&D Senator Diane Feinstein concerning Benghazi has to be suspect as to whether she really wants to uncover the real truth or obfuscate it.

---

One of those intrusive ED ads says you should contact your doctor if after taking the pill, and you have a sudden loss of vision: you should call your doctor immediately. Huh? Who can get in touch with his doctor immediately? On another point, if you're "suddenly blinded", how do you find your phone?

---

MC Hammer.... you know, "Hammertime"... Do you realize that song was written in 1990? Has he made any songs since then?

---

Union concessions at Dolly Madison included conditions such as Hostess Twinkies could not be delivered on the same trucks as Wonder Bread. Well, after seeing the results of bad faith union negotiations, it's more than obvious that every Dolly Madison delivery truck was fueled by "union Twinkies".

---

OK, the election is over, so let's focus on Benghazi. potUS Obluster says he gave the order to do "whatever is necessary" to save American lives there. Hmmmm, sounds like he gave the military a " direct order", and the order wasn't carried out. OK, let's SEE that order. Obviously, since potUS Oblunder told the world what he said, then it's not top secret/classified information, so there has to be written documentation of such, and to whom it was directed, so let's see it. Even CNN/MSNBC can't justify letting potUS Obluster put such documentation in his college records file.

---

Online story: "The word of the year, according to Dictionary.com, is 'Bluster', we can exclusively reveal. * Dictionary.com defines the word thusly: 1. to roar and be tumultuous, as wind; 2. to be loud, noisy, or swaggering; utter loud, empty menaces or protests: He blusters about revenge but does nothing." -- NAME CHANGE! potUS Oblunder now becomes "Obluster" and the Dumbnamic Duo becomes "Obluster and Oh! Brother".

---

L-E headline: "'Bed tax' a windfall for some hospitals" -- Here's another one of those tax bites few knew about before now. Seems that even if you had a private room in a hospital, you are paying for someone else sleeping in your bed with you. Hospitals don't pay this tax; insurance companies don't pay this tax... you do, I do, whether it be in higher direct costs or higher insurance premiums.

---

L-E headline: "US sends Clinton to Mideast to try to end conflict" -- Sending a woman into the Muslim turmoil.... I'm sure the leaders of the PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, and al Qaida will respect he as much as they did Golda Meir.

L-E headline: "Study finds apes have midlife crisis " -- Oooops, my bad. Thooght thios was the conference discussion of the National Organization of Women.

L-E headline: "MYANMAR * OBAMA: ‘YOU GAVE US HOPE’ -- News? Why didn't the L-E print one that saidsaid, "Clinton: You gave us Monica"?

---

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — There’s a new push to make testing for the AIDS virus as common as cholesterol checks. * Americans ages 15 to 64 should get an HIV test at least once — not just people considered at high risk for the virus, an independent panel that sets screening guidelines proposed Monday." -- And we wonder why medical costs are running amok.

---

L-E headline: "GAZA-ISRAEL TALKS * U.S. approach to talks shows new reluctance to referee " -- Well, America roared when Lingerie League referees were used in the NFL, and they were better qualified than potUS Obluster. Of course, this out, XpotUS Clinton will campaign to replace Hillary; Bill of course, is a proven lingerie fan, but can you even imagine her in lingerie?

---

Before any further action is taken on funding the 911 system, shouldn't the public be shown what are the actual expenses of the 911 system? My image is basically a phone center manned by police trained personnel who can evaluate calls for urgency, and dispense info to the proper police/fire/EMT departments. $3,600,000.00 is a lot of money, but if it's not "enough", then we should know why it's "not enough".

---

The Benghazi snafu, especially concerning Susan Rice, was a planned dodge by potUS Obluster. Sending out a messenger BECAUSE she had no information that countered what she was ordered to say was as calculated a step as potUS Obluster is capable of making.

---

L-E headline: "Alabama football notes: Saban has positive words for Chizik, Dooley" -- Natch! Why would he want them to leave when he beats'em like a drum?

---

MCSD has spent many thousands of dollars providing 'netbooks' to Carver and Spencer high school students. The thousands of dollars included GPS recovery software. Ask your board member how many of the missing/stolen ones have been located and returned. Also ask them why other high schools haven't been issued 'netbooks' for all their students?

From the "Fred Sandford..it's a heart attack" department -

After all it's kowtowing to fringe groups over the past several Christmas Seasons, Target may have finally gotten the message:
