Agree

The president's top economic advisers took some heat today over jobs and the economy from both parties. At a House hearing, Republican Jerry Lewis of California charged, the administration is spending and taxing too much. And Democrat Marcy Kaptur of Ohio complained, the president's aides were out of touch, as unemployment in parts of Ohio tops 15 percent.

REP. MARCY KAPTUR, D-Ohio: We have more cities poor in this country than any other state now. Our food bank lines are growing longer. Twenty-five percent of our food banks and food shelters turned away people last year.

SAN DIEGO – The mystery surrounding a Toyota Prius whose driver reported a stuck accelerator deepened Sunday as the motorist's attorney dismissed a congressional memo that questions his client's version of events.

If Toledo is in such dire straights why don't Mayor Bell go after Carty for the the money
he cost the city to settle the lawsuits? Bell is putting everything else on the table including
raising taxes. Carty had a lot to do with creating this budget mess in the first place.

Also, there is still some fat that can be cut, namely Board of community relations. This is just a racist department that no longer belongs in this city or in our society.

A Decade of Self-Delusion by Pat Buchanan (Republican)

About the first decade of what was to be the Second American Century, the pessimists have been proven right.

According to the International Monetary Fund, the United States began the century producing 32 percent of the world's gross domestic product. We ended the decade producing 24 percent. No nation in modern history, save for the late Soviet Union, has seen so precipitous a decline in relative power in a single decade.

Under pressure from friends and union colleagues for buying foreign, Lucas County Commissioner Pete Gerken said yesterday he has taken his lumps and returned his wife's Christmas gift to the auto dealership.

"The car is back at the dealer," said Mr. Gerken, a Democrat and retired United Auto Workers official who worked for 30 years for Jeep and DaimlerChrysler.

In my Dec. 6 column, I was discussing the grave situation we find ourselves in, what with two unwinnable, and, as far as I’m concerned, unjustifiable wars, an economy in shambles, double-digit unemployment and a decade of stagnant wages. So far, as is generally the case with politicians, their first concern has been to look out for the persons and institutions that played a huge part in getting us into this position. They, after all, by dint of their wealth, virtually control the political process.

This is a good video on what Ted Strickland has failed to accomplish in Ohio:

Local mail carriers voted to make dog warden Tom Skeldon an honorary letter carrier at tonight 's meeting. He is invited to next month's meeting to receive his title and a plaque .
Tom gives annual training at local post offices on dog awareness and dog safety. His crew gives priority to mail carrier calls. He has extracated many mail carriers who have been trapped on porches or threatened by loose dogs .

The economy isn't getting any better for the average citizen it is getting worse. The only ones
prospering from the incentives are the rich and the Democraps. Whats worse is the burden of paying for all this will be on the next generations of our children to pay back. All you idiots
thinking things are better with Obama better take a good hard look.

Officer Jeff Brown of the Oregon Police Dept. committed several crimes when he used a computer system at the Oregon Police Dept. to get info on a woman. He did this several times both on and off duty.

This is un-authorized use of a govt. computer. Felonies!

So just why is he not being charged with a crime? This is just Wrong!

He got a 20 day suspension. Big deal. He should have gotten FIRED!

If you also find this to be BS. Call the Chief Richard H. Stager at 419-698-7062.

And call the Lucas County Prosecutor and demand action. 419-213-4700

Well, well, did I finally strike a nerve? When I wrote the Sept. 20 column, “No tea, thanks,” I thought I would give you on the Right a taste of your own medicine. It’s not pleasant to be called names, is it? As for the citations on fascism, etc., I stand by them. I was particularly impressed by all the dittoheads who wrote in to say that no one else does their thinking for them; they are perfectly capable of rational thought themselves. (MORE)

The world has spoken. Chicago is spared the expense and grief of hosting the 2016 Olympics. London who is hosting the 2012 Olympics has already over run their projected budget by a factor of 4. If I lived in Chicago I would be grateful. Spend some money on law enforcement to stop the brutal teenage killings.

Our country has more important problems to solve than our leaders spending time on promoting sporting events.

Read this website for more news on this Officer. Good points of view.
