WR City Council Circus

Wholesale inventories dropped in December, a sign that the economy is not coming back.

 

If you don't support the Obama administration, you're helping al-Qaeda.

 

Republicans may be able to restrain themselves from giving Democrats an assist on Obamacare after all.

 

In a nice bit of irony, breather bureaucrats chose a snow day in Washington to unveil a new global warming service.  In California, one member of the state legislature wants to ban free parking to stop global warming.

 

Is it too soon to point out that John Murtha died after a botched surgery in a government run hospital?

 

The federal government is getting involved in a California insurance company's decision to raise their insurance rates.

 

Will baby boomers bankrupt Social Security?  Yes, they will.

 

Remember when we were told that images taken in those full-body scanners would never be seen by anybody?  You shouldn't be surprised to know that that's a lie.

 

A Muslim bus driver in London pulled over to the side of the road while on his route and started praying, blocking the aisle so nobody could get off the bus.  A teacher in London was fired after complaining about his Muslim students calling the 9/11 hijackers heroes.

 

There is a new class of businesses that are not concerned with profits.  In other words, they're worthless.

 

Two college students in Virginia were arrested for throwing snowballs.

 

First we were supposed to worry about second-hand smoke, which is utterly harmless, now we have to worry about third-hand smoke, which is even more harmless.

 

A gay, mentally challenged, biracial male cheerleader is claiming that he is being discriminated against.

 

Apparently MARTA's new line is racist.

 

There have been bills introduced in the General Assembly to tie teachers' pay to student performance and to make it a crime to cheat on standardized tests.

 

A new bill would ban ethics violators from serving on the State Ethics Commission.

 

The Walking Ethics Complaint is trying to earn some good media by investigating a big insurance company even though the alleged lawbreaking occurred between 2003 and 2007.

 

A 15-year-old girl is facing prostitution charges in Columbus.  This is why Sen. Renee Unterman's bill is needed, and why the fundy right is so very, horribly wrong.

 

Apparently the Davis Drive Post Office will not be closing.  That will continue to be a waste of our tax dollars in an agency that lost $3.8 billion last year.

 

Last night's special meeting of the Warner Robins City Council got tense as they discussed the Law Enforcement Complex's location and funding.  Adding to the problems are the strings attached to federal money that Warner Robins received 30 years ago.  Mayor Shaheen said last night that he has "no emotional ties" to either location for the LEC, but that's not what he said during the campaign when he was trolling for votes.
