Online story: "DEKALB, Ill. (Oct. 30) - An Illinois man may face the death penalty if convicted in the slaying of a college freshman who went missing earlier this month." -- "MAY" face the death penalty? The man is charged with 1st degree murder, rape, and then burned the young woman's remains; Saddam Hussein's 'wood chipper' should be brought into the court room on conviction date, and he should be publicly fed into it on TV, and the girl's parents should be allowed to control how long it takes to feed him into it!!!!
---
How ironic that the hurricane naming season has reached the letter "U" and "V" just in time to used on November 2nd. Hurricane "US Voters" has reached category 5 status.
---
Online headline: "Obama Warns of Progress Reversal if GOP Wins" -- Straight from the DIM/DUMBorat Donkey's mouth, words of encouragement to motivate more conservative voters to go to the polls on Tuesday!!!
---
While Ol' Roy's campaign to discredit Nathan Deal blasts away in every conceivable negative way, the reality is that Deal didn't leave Congress with bloated wealth, and Deal sacrificed for his children.
---
In yesterday's L-E "soundoff", one stated "Jesus was a liberal". You know that had to come from a modern day true liberal because he/she used Jesus with a past tense verb; Jesus lives today. Also, Jesus is a 'compassionate conservative'. He asks that we, as individuals, not some government entitlement program, tend to 'the least of us'.
---
While it's never fun to lose to Florida (with or without Spurrier), it was still the most exciting "Cocktail Bowl" game in a long time. Wait'll next year!
---
With the projected number of Congressional 'jobs' being 'lost' on Tuesday, bet the next Congress focuses on creating more jobs for unemployed voters.
---
The GA amendment wants to tax "certain vehicles" an extra $10.00 forever to funnel $80,000,000.00 annually into "trauma centers" -- "Certain vehicles"? Yeah, yours and mine. Think "Taxed Enough Already".
---
When you think about it, Ozzy Osbourne is the perfect spokesman for the DIM/DUMBorats....he drools out of both sides of his mouth.
---
One of the SEC's Bulldogs has already qualified as a bowl qualified. Go State Go!
---
L-E headline: "Tomlinson would bring vision, energy to mayor’s office " -- Yeah, since the voters overwhelmingly rejected her attempt to use TADs to waste tax dollars, Mother Teresa Obamalinson has her 'vision' focused on the Public Safety/Infrastructure LOST slush funds. Watch your wallet!
---
NPR's firing of Juan Williams sent a message all right. A direct message to the bulk of the mainstream media...toe the liberal DIM/DUMBorat Party line...or else!
---
Looking at the percentages of people's salaries in the L-E article on the Census information for the Columbus Metro area, the average teacher's salary (from another L-E article) is already higher than 62.85% of the area's population....plus their benefits!
---
Looking at the deteriorating Claflin School Building on 5th Avenue makes you wonder why the MCSD doesn't put these types of properties up for sale rather than keep them around as continued eyesores for the community. How can any visitor, heck, even lifetime residents, believe any 'boasting' of how good our school system is? Does the MCSD think having examples like this make the inuse school campuses look better by comparison?
---
The L-E's "Explore, Fall 2010". Now this is what makes a newspaper good for the community...this, and being a community watchdog on crime and politicians (in no certain order).

WTVM story: "Valley Healthcare in Columbus will be able to serve double the number of patients in the next few years. They received a $6.2 Million grant from the Department of Health and Human Services. " -- Wonder how many 'family & friends' of Congressman Bishop will be on the payroll...at least until November 2nd?
---
Another WTVM story: "President Obama confirmed Friday that explosives were found in packages bound for two Chicago, IL synagogues in a "credible terror threat" that set off a worldwide security scare across three continents. * "The U.S. is taking these threats very seriously," Obama said." -- potUS Imam-a is now his own "Press Release" go-to-guy? Does this mean Robert Gibbs is looking for other work? Maybe Mayor of NY?
---
L-E "soundoff": "Deal, Isakson, and Westmoreland are content keeping Columbus a modern day mill town." -- Obviously, the writer must be a "Tour Guide" for the vast Columbus Mill Association, which, even more obviously, means he/she hasn't had a job in decades.
---
Has anyone every really defined what a 'blue dog DIMorat" is? To me, a 'blue dog DIMorat" is simply a "yellow dog DUMBorat" who has learned to hold his breath long enough to get extra earmarks before voting the "party line".

Why are FEMA mobile homes from the Katrina snafu 5 years ago being allowed to stay in use? Wasn't there a formaldehyde issue?
---
Interesting thought from a fellow BCer: "There's been a question on the military channel lately: "Why is Osama bin Ladin still alive?" I have a theory that might answer it. If Osama bin Ladin were killed, Obama might lose his diplomatic back-channel to Al Qaeda on all questions that Soros cannot "advise" him on. Just a thought." -- keep those e-mails coming!
---
Have you seen the latest Obama, uh, Mother Teresa Obamlinson TV ad? The one where she wants to rebuild/repair private homes in declining neighborhoods with tax dollars? This is the same tactic potUS Imama-a used; telling you upfront he wanted to destroy free enterprise by robbing Peter to pay Paul so he could get all "the Pauls'" votes.
---
Also, why doe Mother Teresa Obamlinson think that if you repair houses of people who haven't kept it up that the same people will miraculously keep it maintained in the future?
---
L-E headline: "Stimulus funds to help clinic expand * Bishop presents $6.2 million check to Valley Healthcare Systems" -- Excuse me...why do Congresspersons get ownership of the tax dollar earmarks to present as though he was personally digging into his pocket to help? That's the money he's taken out of yours and my pocket! How about Congressman Bishop reaching into his own pocket and reimbursing "us" for the salaries and scholarships he gave to his family and friends?
---
Did you see potUS Imam-a on "The Daily Show" clips? Without his Teleprompters, potUS Imam-a lost his debate with a comedian.

NASA says it is planning a one-way manned trip to Mars in 2030; can we nominate certain politicians to 'volunteer'?
---
Online headline: "New York Claims an Unwanted Title: King of Taxes" -- Taxachusetts and Californicate probably will immediately file protests.
---
Do you wonder how Council members not running for re-election wonder if the Council members who are running for re-election will be there in January?
---
L-E's "QUOTABLE“: "If we make anything that lasts, it outlives us. Jeanette Winterson British author (1959- ) " -- Especially the damage of this past Congress!
---
Those pushing Issue 2 on the GA ballot do so while concealing a very important fact. If all our cars are 'taxed' $10.00 per year to go to building/operating 'Trauma Centers" around the state, $80,000,000.00 per year will be raised. Bottom line is that $80,000,000.00 will not go very far in operating such facilities. Look at the costs of operating hospitals we already have in our communities. Once in place, your taxes will be diluted even further, and the state legislature will be out to get you to "invest" more in taxes.
---
There was a letter in the L-E today from an Albany writer who made a plaintive plea to send Congressman Bishop back to Washington because "He's helped us too much." I agree, he has helped us 'too much', and he has helped himself, and his family WAY too much! Where he needs to be sent is "packing"!

Thanks to a fellow BCer for this adaptation: In the vernacular of TV advertising, in 2008 we had 'an election that lasted over 4 hours', and like socialist HELL-thSCare Bill, it's taken 2 years to schedule corrective surgery.
---
With potUS Imam-a's scathing chastisement of Latino voters, he has proven he is not "the healer". "the ONE", nor "the man of all the people" he and the mainstream media claim he is.
---
From the "what's wrong with this picture" department - From an L-E story: "
Spokesperson Bill Sutley said Aramark is the sole caterer for university events and they applied for a liquor license so they could offer alcoholic beverages at events for university donors at places like CSU’s Cunningham Center" -- Not only is a liquor license being established on a college campus, but did you notice that part about Aramark being 'the sole caterer for university events"? Some community support and partnership program..NOT.
---
If potUS Imam-a talked as tough about terrorism and illegal aliens as he does about the Republicans, there would be World Peace today.
---
Online headline: "'Chiclone' Wreaks Havoc on Chicago and Midwest " -- Ooops, my bad. Thought the press had coined a new nickname for Rahm Emanuel.
---
With the length of the Nike/Blazers scandal at the Parks&Rec Department, and with no one 'blowing the whistle' until the audit found the problem, is there anyone at the P&R Department who doesn't deserve scrutiny about their ongoing employment?
---
With the recent expose of the grants directed by Congressman Bishop which paid the salaries of his stepdaughter and her husband, and the plethora of scholarship monies that went to his family and friends, a vote for Bishop is a vote of acceptance of Congressional abuse of tax dollars.
---
L-E headline: "Georgia gubernatorial race: Barnes stresses education during visit to Columbus" -- Aside from the fact he had the opportunity to "stress education" when he WAS governor, but only 'stressed" the teachers, why would anyone 'feel', much less THINK, King Roy deserved another chance?
---
L-E headline: "Ruling strikes down part of Arizona Voter ID law" -- The 26th Amendment of the United States reads: "The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age." -- If the right to vote is limited to US citizens, how can a judge deny a state the ability to require proof of citizenship to register to vote? How can a city or state abridge the requirement to allow non-citizens a vote on any issue?

Online headline: "Mad Muppet Menacing Tourists in NYC's Times Square" -- Ooops, my bad! Thought Rahm Emanuel had shown up in NYC looking for campaign funds.
---
Online headline: "Why the Feds "Trickle Down Economics" is failing" -- Who says 'it's failing'? Certainly not potUS Imam-a, Pelosi or Reid and other "top DIMorats". Mainstream media just hasn't connected that the picture they are presenting is upside down, and the Imam-a/Pelosi/Reid "plan" has been 'Trickle Up Poverty'...which is working.
---
Online headline/story: "Goldman says Fed faces $4 trillion hole * Talk about shock and awe * ..skeptics of the Fed's firepower, and by now there are many, say the bigger problem is that the benefits of QE will simply be siphoned off by unfair traders such as China. They say the answer to our economic morass thus must come from the White House and Congress rather than from the Federal Reserve."China's yuan policy and trade barriers make the Fed nearly irrelevant," writes University of Maryland business professor Peter Morici." -- Well, if depending on the current White House/Senate/Congress has to 'the cure', we are incurable. Hurry November 2nd!
---
From the "ooops, I forgot I said that" department - Dec13, 2005 L-E article by Mark Rice on Mother Teresa Obamalinson/MidTown: "Tomlinson won't take a salary from MidTown. She said she wants as much money as possible to go toward MidTown's programs. * "It reduces the overhead, which is so important for a start-up organization," shesaid. "It's so difficult for any executive director to raise money when a large portion of that goes to their own salary." -- It's available on under "Latest Updates" on www.midtowncolumbusga.org
---
Pat McHenry wrote a letter concerning bicycle safety, and while he soft-peddled (or should I say "soft pedaled") his way around the issue of riding on sidewalks, it is, in fact AGAINST THE LAW for anyone over 12 to ride a bicycle on our sidewalks.
---
If the Fed can effect the economy in a positive manner, how come it hasn't worked before? Has the Fed not been trying until now?
---
L-E headline: "Delta defers order of 787s * Delta Air Lines said Monday that it will go ahead with orders for 18 of Boeing’s new 787-8 aircraft but will delay the first deliveries of those planes until 2020. * The airline said in an SEC filing that it worked out an agreement with Boeing to defer delivery of all 18 planes until 2022. * Northwest Airlines originally ordered the planes and Delta took on those orders when it bought Northwest in 2008. * Questions arose about whether Delta would follow through with the order as Boeing experienced numerous delays in getting the plane into test flights and production. * Northwest was scheduled to take delivery of the 787s between 2008 and 2010." -- Excuse me, but want 2008 technology be obsolete in 2020/22?
---
Once again, the "Legal Section" is the biggest section in the L-E; how about that "summer of Recovery"?
---
Something to think about: How can a former governor of a state, nicknamed "Moonbeam", be even considered a candidate, much less a contender, for anther term as governor? No, I'm not talking about 'King Roy' here in GA (but the situation is similar), but Jerry Brown in CA.

Online headline: "Nancy Pelosi Cites Reason for Political Attacks Against Her" -- Well, there goes the theory that 'she didn't have a clue'; what will be her excuse when she writes her memoirs?
---
Mentioned this yesterday, but it's back in the L-E today's "What to do": "GROSSOLOGY PARTY: Based on books like “Sweet Farts” and “The Day My Butt Went Psycho,” the North Columbus Public Library presents Body Parts & Farts 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. -- Exactly what our chidren need...NOT!
---
L-E "soundoff": "Since powerful growth hormones are given to beef cattle to increase weight and to milk cows to increase production, is it any wonder our children are grossly overweight? " -- Walt Kelly's "Pogo" was right! "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
---
I heard a woman on Fox News do a blurb on the outbreak of Cholera last night, and she pronounced it 'co-LERA', and she wasn't blonde!
---
L-E "headlie": " Gay voters’ anger at Dems could sway midterm election * Disappointed by inaction, some plan to sit out vote" -- What's going to sway the midterm elections is the bulk of voters who have been disappointed in the DIM/DUMBorats' ACTIONS!
---
There are 6 SEC teams in the AP Top 25. While it's not really unusual for 6 SEC teams be in 'the hunt', it's pretty unusual that Mississippi State is one of the 6, and UGA, Florida, and Ole Miss are not! Go, State, Go!
---
As usual, the L-E thinks that no business news was reported over the weekend.
