Online headline/story: "In Detroit, a Weed Academy Blooms * "Our goal is to make Michigan better and increase the economy," said Perry Belcher, a spokesman for MMA.

L-E story: "HAVANA — A lively and healthy-looking Fidel Castro appealed to President Barack Obama to prevent a global nuclear war in an emphatic speech Saturday that marked his first official government appearance since emergency surgery four years ago."

From L-E - "MY OPINION * Ethics trials may help, not hurt, Democrats * by Froma Harrup " -- Liberals! I can't help but laugh and cry at the same time! What a well named 'journolist' as she so often sounds like the "harrumph" of a camel.

Why is Dusty Nix applauding the Parks&Rec group for opening on weekends? It's AUGUST! What Dusty should be blasting is the MCSD board for starting school in AUGUST when kids should be swimming in water pools rather than swimming in sweat on school buses!

It is time for Orly Taitz to 'go away', but Judge Land set the table for her quest for redemption by raising her fine from $10K to $20K. Her argument would have had less sympathy at the lower figure...that was a cost of doing business; adding to that was simply "piling on'.

L-E headline: "A fresh look at Chicago from all sides " -- "A fresh look"? With the likes of potUS Nero-bama and his 40 Tsars, isn't that an oxymoron?

Online headline/story:.Japan's Economic Stagnation is Creating a Nation of Lost Youth * What happens to a generation of young people when: 1- They are told to work hard and go to college, 2- Many of the jobs that are available are part-time, temporary, or contract labor. 3- These insecure jobs pay one-third of what their fathers earned, 4- Low pay makes living at home the only viable option. -- Substitute America/Obamanation for Japan and the story could be about US!

L-E headline: "Northern (LL) Produces 'Ugly' Win over S.C." -- There were times a team I was on pulled one out of the hat at the last moment, but there are no 'ugly' wins. There are 'ugly' losses, but every win is a win.
---
L-E's "Today in History" : In 1942, six convicted Nazi saboteurs who’d landed in the U.S. were executed in Washington ; two others were spared . " -- Now that's an illegal immigrant policy that will work! Bet the 'two spared' did not receive welfare, SSI, or Medicaid,either!
