Online headline: "A Call to End Gun Violence in America" -- Hmmm, how about if pot-US Obluster starts with his hometown of Chicago, then Washington, DC, and if he has great results, the rest of the country might listen.

Online story: "WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration says the Syrian government is continuing to fire Scud missiles at rebels and regime opponents as they make territorial gains." -- " fire Scud missiles " Sorta like what pot-US Obluster did in 2008 & 2012...fired "Stupid, Co-dependent Uninformed Dumberats" missiles into our polling places.

Online story: "White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement that Obama's priority remains "to ensure that taxes don’t go up on 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small businesses in just a few short days." -- What he didn't say is that pot-US Obluster could insure that 100% of taxpayers wouldn't see there income taxes go up if he signed an extension to the current laws, nor that pot-US Obluster has already signed a bill, Obamacare, that already has insured taxes are going up on 100% of the taxpayers on Jan 1st.

Online headline: "Hillary Clinton Absent As State Department Grapples With Benghazi Report" -- First, she shouldn't be allowed to enter into discussing or trying to solve the problems because of 'her concussion' UNTIL she's recovered enough to testify on the Congressional hearings, and secondly, she's probably baking holiday cookies to establish her credibility when she testifies in Congress.

---

Online story: "In one of his last interviews before leaving Congress, Rep. Barney Frank gave a preview of the kind of no-holds-barred pundit he will be as he moves on to write books and become a TV commentator. The retiring 16-term openly gay Massachusetts Democrat called for the legalization of prostitution," -- "legalization of prostitution"? Congress already did that when it didn't censor and remove him from office when his boyfriend was running a prostitution business from Frank's home.

Online story: "WASHINGTON -- With an atypical audience – members of Congress – actor and director Ben Affleck read from a script with a pointed message: A desperate humanitarian situation in Congo requires a stronger display of U.S. leadership, and it will get worse without one." -- Why would Congress give Ben Affleck the time of day? If Afflect wants to get on his soapbox, do it at a Hollywood fundraiser for DUMBERat candidates who will listen to anybody who wants to give them big checks.

Online headline: "Benghazi Report: State Department Vows Reforms, Seeks Billions In Funds After Libya Report" -- "seeks billions"? The State Deparment OWES us apologies and should be required to pay back all the funds provided it to the US taxpayers, then shut down!

With all that has been revealed about the State Department's handling of Benghazi, the American Ambassadors Union should go on strike until they get safer working conditions.

WRBL3 story: "HUNTSVILLE, Ala. --Police in Huntsville say customers seeking a popular brand of shoes became unruly when they lined up at a mall, and pepper spray was used in an attempt to restore order. * Police say officers sprayed pepper spray in the general direction of the crowd, but did not use the chemical on people in line Thursday morning. * A Huntsville television station reports that around 100 people were in line to get a new type of Air Jordan shoes which retail for about $185. Police said the shoes weren't being released; people were waiting in line to receive one of 36 bands to get them at a later date." -- Hmmm, I didn't know FootLocker accepted government EBT cards...

Those new GA license plates are getting even uglier as I see more of them. The tags we've had for the past 15 years or so are still fresh and nice looking. The new plates must have been designed by the company that designed the Oregon Ducks' football uniforms.

How can a parent admit a child who's reached 18 into a mental facility? Without the child giving written permission or it being court ordered, parents are helpless. The laws we have on medical privacy do not allow a doctor to talk to the parents about treatments of a 18+ child as it is unless the 18+ child agrees to it. Liberal laws are biting us on the butt.

---

Why is the "acting" head of the IRS making claims that if there's not an extension on the current tax laws that people will be delayed on reporting their 2012 tax forms? Don't 2012 income laws come under the current laws, and only next year's income would be effected if an agreement is signed? Is mainstream media as stupid as it seems on this issue? Oh, I can answer that....

Sgt. Schultz must work on the 7th floor of the State Department, because no one past the 6th floor will answer anything but "I know nothing!"

Within two years, (there will be, basically another sales tax). You will be paying a 7% "title tax" when you buy either a new OR used car in GA. This is in addition to the soon to be 5% state sales tax plus 3% local sales tax plus various out-of-your-pocket 'fees'.

L-E story: "Former Shaw star Edwin Jackson completed a four-year, $52-million contract with the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. * Last season, he went 10-11 with a 4.03 ERA for the Nationals to earn his new contract. Over the course of his career, he is 70-71 with a 4.40 ERA. He has had stints with the Dodgers, Rays, Tigers, White Sox, Diamondbacks, Cardinals and Nationals. He was a member of the Blue Jays for less than a day" -- With an overall losing record, $13 M must be the new minimum contract in MLB. Imagine what Gene Chizik would get if he landed a MLB coaches job!

L-E picture with special "Shop with a Cop" story:

J____ M_____, 5, holds a ceramic pig dressed

dressed like a police officer he picked out for his

brother. -- Hmmm . a subliminal "thank you"? Surely the L-E could have been more sensitive to the good work our officers are doing.

From L-E editorial: "Housing Authority Executive Director Len Williams announced Wednesday that the Department of Housing and Urban Development had designated the local agency only the second “Moving to Work” authority in Georgia. Only 39 housing authorities nationwide have been so designated, out of more than 3,000 in the country.The HUD program allows more local latitude on federal regulations regarding things like income restrictions, vouchers and rent incentives. Ideally, the program will not only help tenants, but will cut local administrative costs in the process." -- "ideally, the program will not only help tenants, but will cut local administrative costs in the process"? Name me one government program that can be an example of a government program working "ideally'! Now, if any one aspect of the desired results happen "ideally", it will be something that has never occurred in the past, so we could deem that a success if it happens. Of course, there is plenty to lose as well; we could be permanently paying for jobs that will never end trying to accomplish something the government has never achieved... success.

An appropriate sentence for Harvey Updyke would be for him to be buried up to his neck at Toomer's Cprner so there would be something for Auburn fans to TP following the games. Just make sure the TP is "used". Oh, amd pray Auburn wins a few games next year so there'd be a festive reason to celebrate.

L-E headline: "AUBURN TREES POISONED * Attorney says ‘Bama’ fan competent to stand trial" -- "Attorney says "Bama' fan competent"... hmmm there's a good joke in there but I'm gonna let you think of your own punch line.

I'm not a particular fan of Tom Cruise (other than "Risky Business" when he was sorta fresh and acted his age), but I wonder if the 1/2 Star given for his latest movie was given because of the recent real life massacre/violence.

You know, it's not a real good college basketball season if UNC, Duke, and Kentucky all occupy the #1 rating sometime during the regular season.

L-E story: "PHILADELPHIA — When it comes to making coins, the Mint isn’t getting its two cents worth. In some cases, it doesn’t even get half of that. * A penny costs more than two cents and a nickel costs more than 11 cents to make and distribute." -- Well, that actually makes "cents"... with the current rate of inflation, it costs 11 cents to get a nickel's worth of anything, and a penny for your thoughts isn't worth 2 cents from your politicians.
