S. Lindsey: Dems vote to stop General McChyrstal from testifying to Congress

S. Lindsey's picture

Seems like they "Just can't handle the truth".. Obama just wants to think about it a little longer and the Dems in Congress want to make sure General McChrystal just Salutes and shuts up..

Bonkers: SPLOST Vote: just remembered

Splost votes are always done on off-year elections so that the voting will be low.

However, all those who benefit from the SPLOST will vote, in an organized manner (schools, oficials, etc.)

S. Lindsey: Demise of the Dollar

S. Lindsey's picture

"The Independent (UK) is reporting that Arab states are in talks to work towards the end of using US currency for oil trading. Especially troubling when this movement is coupled with the Obama global apology tour and the UN's call for a new global reserve currency. The rest of the globe is making a power play, and they are trying to knock us down a peg or two...or ten."

Main Stream: Conservatizing the Bible

Main Stream's picture

According to the wingnuts at Conservapedia "Liberal bias has become the single biggest distortion in modern Bible translations." The Conservative Bible Project, led by the Schlafly clan (Phyllis and son Andy) involves re-translating the Bible to remove "corruption by liberal bias" and the "emasculation of Christianity" and to explain "the numerous economic parables with their full free-market meaning"

In 1962, presented with U2 spy plane photos of Soviet missile sites in Cuba, President John F. Kennedy ordered his Ambassador to the United Nations, Adlai Stevenson, to directly confront the Soviets. At a tense emergency meeting of the Security Council, Stevenson exposed the Soviets denials as lies by showing the world the U2 photos.

Fyt35: Sandy Creek football

Fyt35's picture

Sandy Creek put an impressive show last Friday night as the Patriots handily defeated the Wildcats. Many of us are still at awe of how good this football team is and certainly wish them well as the season continues. Unfortunately, what happened after the game was reprehensible and by far tops anything that has happened around here relating to school rivalries.

Hey Don Haddix, you said earlier this year the City was doing test on the lake. What were the results? I've noticed a greenish film on the water lately.

S. Lindsey: Bush responcible for Obama's failure in Copenhagen

S. Lindsey's picture

"Senator Rowland Burris of Illinois, the Senator who was appointed to fill President Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, blames George Bush for Chicago not getting the Olympics in 2016. Burris stated in an interview, shortly after the announcement, that the image of the U. S. has been so tarnished in the last 8 years that, even Barack Obama making an unprecedented pitch for the games could not overcome the hatred the world has for us as a result of George Bush."

purpletulips: Do you understand your school system?

Most residents who have an interest in their child’s education do not understand the inner workings of their local school system. The state of Georgia mandates a state school curriculum; The Georgia Performance Standards; goals for each grade level. Each teacher is required to use and implement the GPS. Every subject and grade level from kindergarten to 12th grade is addressed in the GPS; Language Arts, Reading, Science, Social Studies, Mathematics, Health, Technology, etc…. There are lesson plans and assessment suggestions for each grade level and for each strand of the standards. These standards can be found on the internet at: www.georgiastandards.org.

Git Real: Maxwells - Outstanding Eats

Git Real's picture

Did the Maxwells thing last night and the food was outstanding and the service was not lacking in anyway. Had the lamb racks and crab soup. The crab soup was great but it didn't contain the lumps I've gotten spoiled with when eating Charleston. But overall this was a really great place to eat and we really considered it a treat.

normal: Hooray for UAW, It helped destroy Saturn

But make no mistake: The failure here isn't Mr. Penske's. Saturn was killed by its creators, GM and the UAW. The company starved Saturn for new products, and the union waged war against Saturn's labor reforms to keep them from spreading to other GM factories.

Newsboy: MORE CITIZEN BLOGGER STUPIDITY

Newsboy's picture

Obama haters giddy with glee over Chicago's failed bid to host the 2016 Games no doubt will now demand that the federal taxpayer be 'refunded' for his trip to Coppenhagen, but the fact remains: If a president's duty includes promoting the nation's best interests in the rest of the world (and by any definition, hosting the Olympic Games is in the nation's best interest), how was this trip different than one to attend an economic summit, woo a foreign auto maker, etc? Obama was doing his job. They don't break down the individual costs incurred to run the executive branch on such a basis anyway.

normal: The facts from General McChrystal

Intelligence is a critical need

To do the job right and win

By Rep. Peter Hoekstra and Rep. John Shadegg

Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal's new report on Afghanistan discusses the complex environment in Afghanistan and highlights the difficult decisions that need to be taken to win. Missing from the growing debate over the McChrystal report is the importance of obtaining excellent intelligence to manage the risk to our troops and to ultimately succeed.
