Online story: "The word of the year, according to Dictionary.com, is 'Bluster', we can exclusively reveal. * Dictionary.com defines the word thusly: 1. to roar and be tumultuous, as wind; 2. to be loud, noisy, or swaggering; utter loud, empty menaces or protests: He blusters about revenge but does nothing." -- NAME CHANGE! potUS Oblunder now becomes "Obluster" and the Dumbnamic Duo becomes "Obluster and Oh! Brother".

Online headline/story: "Obama Says Burma, Myanmar Both During Landmark Visit * The issue is so sensitive that Obama's aides had said earlier Monday he would likely avoid mentioning either politically charged name. But he used both during his six-hour trip – "Myanmar" during morning talks with Thein Sein, "Burma" afterward while visiting with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi." -- Why doesn't this come as 'no surprise'; I often wonder whether he refers to the United States of America as 'the Colonies' when speaking in England.

Why do we have an elected school board if members won't vote on issues that need addressing because someone or some group doesn't want anything to be changed ? Just one more good reason why passing the Charter Amendment was necessary.

---

Once again, why is the interim superintendent the school board messenger sent out to be slaughtered. SPLOST issues are not the realm of an interim hire.

I just had a KitKat Halloween candy bar... the chocolate was Orange colored... there ought to be a law against such sacrilege.

Observation from a fellow BCer: "OVER 20,000,000 OBAMA PHONES, COSTING SOME 15.00 PER PHONE PER MONTH. THAT ‘S SOME 3.6 BILLION A YEAR. OVER 10 YEARS THAT WOULD SAVE 36 BILLION. NOT BAD CHUMP CAHANGE. THIS NUMBER COULD PROBABLY BE DOUBLED." -- Sometimes, you just have to scream.

Let's face it, any investigation started, even encouraged, by D&D Senator Diane Feinstein concerning Benghazi has to be suspect as to whether she really wants to uncover the real truth or obfuscate it.

One of those intrusive ED ads says you should contact your doctor if after taking the pill, and you have a sudden loss of vision: you should call your doctor immediately. Huh? Who can get in touch with his doctor immediately? On another point, if you're "suddenly blinded", how do you find your phone?

MC Hammer.... you know, "Hammertime"... Do you realize that song was written in 1990? Has he made any songs since then?

Union concessions at Dolly Madison included conditions such as Hostess Twinkies could not be delivered on the same trucks as Wonder Bread. Well, after seeing the results of bad faith union negotiations, it's more than obvious that every Dolly Madison delivery truck was fueled by "union Twinkies".

OK, the election is over, so let's focus on Benghazi. potUS Obluster says he gave the order to do "whatever is necessary" to save American lives there. Hmmmm, sounds like he gave the military a " direct order", and the order wasn't carried out. OK, let's SEE that order. Obviously, since potUS Oblunder told the world what he said, then it's not top secret/classified information, so there has to be written documentation of such, and to whom it was directed, so let's see it. Even CNN/MSNBC can't justify letting potUS Obluster put such documentation in his college records file.

L-E headline: "'Bed tax' a windfall for some hospitals" -- Here's another one of those tax bites few knew about before now. Seems that even if you had a private room in a hospital, you are paying for someone else sleeping in your bed with you. Hospitals don't pay this tax; insurance companies don't pay this tax... you do, I do, whether it be in higher direct costs or higher insurance premiums.

L-E headline: "US sends Clinton to Mideast to try to end conflict" -- Sending a woman into the Muslim turmoil.... I'm sure the leaders of the PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, and al Qaida will respect he as much as they did Golda Meir.

L-E headline: "Study finds apes have midlife crisis " -- Oooops, my bad. Thooght thios was the conference discussion of the National Organization of Women.

L-E headline: "MYANMAR * OBAMA: ‘YOU GAVE US HOPE’ -- News? Why didn't the L-E print one that saidsaid, "Clinton: You gave us Monica"?

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — There’s a new push to make testing for the AIDS virus as common as cholesterol checks. * Americans ages 15 to 64 should get an HIV test at least once — not just people considered at high risk for the virus, an independent panel that sets screening guidelines proposed Monday." -- And we wonder why medical costs are running amok.

---

L-E headline: "GAZA-ISRAEL TALKS * U.S. approach to talks shows new reluctance to referee " -- Well, America roared when Lingerie League referees were used in the NFL, and they were better qualified than potUS Obluster. Of course, this out, XpotUS Clinton will campaign to replace Hillary; Bill of course, is a proven lingerie fan, but can you even imagine her in lingerie?

Before any further action is taken on funding the 911 system, shouldn't the public be shown what are the actual expenses of the 911 system? My image is basically a phone center manned by police trained personnel who can evaluate calls for urgency, and dispense info to the proper police/fire/EMT departments. $3,600,000.00 is a lot of money, but if it's not "enough", then we should know why it's "not enough".

The Benghazi snafu, especially concerning Susan Rice, was a planned dodge by potUS Obluster. Sending out a messenger BECAUSE she had no information that countered what she was ordered to say was as calculated a step as potUS Obluster is capable of making.

L-E headline: "Alabama football notes: Saban has positive words for Chizik, Dooley" -- Natch! Why would he want them to leave when he beats'em like a drum?

MCSD has spent many thousands of dollars providing 'netbooks' to Carver and Spencer high school students. The thousands of dollars included GPS recovery software. Ask your board member how many of the missing/stolen ones have been located and returned. Also ask them why other high schools haven't been issued 'netbooks' for all their students?

After all it's kowtowing to fringe groups over the past several Christmas Seasons, Target may have finally gotten the message:
