Online headline: "Sam Donaldson Arrested For DUI" -- Hmmm "DUMBERat, Upset & Irate"? "Dumb Useless Informant"? "Dumberat Under Informed"?

Online story: "Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced -- via Facebook, of course -- that he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have donated 18 million Facebook shares to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, a non-profit organization that works with philanthropists to manage their donations. * With Facebook stock worth around $27 a share at the time of this post, Zuckerberg and Chan's donation is worth just south of $500 million, making it his largest charitable donation yet. Zuckerberg said in his Facebook post that they plan to look for "areas in education and health to focus on next." * As Zuckerberg noted in his Facebook status update -- which had been "liked" by 27,588 people just 18 minutes after it was published -- he and Chan signed the Gates and Buffett-endorsed Giving Pledge in 2010, signaling their commitment to donating a majority of their wealth to philanthropic efforts." -- Hmmm all that talk by Buffett about not paying enough in taxes, BUT he and his super-wealthy buds have opted to make tax deductible donations versus "donating" it as volunteer extra taxes to the US Treasury Department...

Online headline: "Obama: NRA Could Use Some 'Self-Reflection'" -- So could pot-US Obluster!

Online story: "WASHINGTON -- A bill moving the District of Columbia toward statehood has been introduced in the Senate. * On Wednesday, retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), and Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), introduced the bill, which would allow D.C. voters to "endorse" statehood. " -- Run, do not walk to your phones, computers, even to your nearest pen & paper, and fire off your protest as fast and as often as you can to Chambliss, Isakson, Westmoreland and Bishop! Sorry about y'all having to write Bishop for a lost cause. q;-(

Time Magazine had named pot-US Obluster as person of the year because... because he reached the under-informed, the slacker voter and got them to re-elect him. No wonder mental illness is such a low priority for DUMBERats, they don't want to cure their voter base.

I am fed up with the media hysteria in Newtown, Connecticut. The children and some valiant teachers are dead as is the psycho responsible, and the media and government people think it's important to nail down the psycho's "motive". Don't they think there are more important things and ways to spend their time and our money?

---

Online story: "NEW YORK — NBC was able to keep the abduction of chief Middle East correspondent Richard Engel in Syria largely a secret until he escaped late Monday because it persuaded some of this country's most prominent news organizations to hold back on the story." -- Collusion... plain and simple collusion, and the FCC should come down hard on NBC and any other media sources that participated in not reporting pertinent news. Really makes you wonder how the mainstream media all reacted the same when not reporting pertinent information about the personal life of pot-US Obluster for the last 6 years. On second thought... I really don't wonder at all.

Let's not forget how CNN ignored stories of torture and pother inhumanities of Saddam Hussein so the CNN staff in Baghdad would not be cut from Hussein's party A-list.

Online story: "Despite sharing 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, humans have much bigger brains and are, as a species, much more intelligent. Now a new study sheds light on why: Unlike chimps, humans undergo a massive explosion in white matter growth, or the connections between brain cells, in the first two years of life. * However, a U.S. moratorium on acquiring new chimpanzees for medical research meant that people like Sherwood, who is trying to understand chimpanzee brain development, had to study decades-old baby chimpanzee brains that were lying around in veterinary pathologists' labs, Sherwood told LiveScience * But in Japan, those limitations didn't go into place till later, allowing the researchers to do live magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans of three baby chimps as they grew to 6 years of age. " -- Liberals can't do anything right! Guess they are afraid that if we still used baby chimps for research, we would find out that liberal brains stay the same as the chimps versus non-liberals' brains growing bigger and better.

"Plan B".....This reminds me of some 1950's low budget sci-Fi movie, but the actors in that movie were more credible

From a fellow BCer: Plan B

Online story: "SALT LAKE CITY -- Anxious parents are driving up sales of armored backpacks for children in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting." -- Excuse me, but how many children were wearing a backpack when they were shot in Connecticut?

The State Department is blasting back at Former Ambassador John Bolten's claim that the Clinton 'concussion' was basically BS. Regardless, Congress should step in and say that until Hillary is capable to and compliant with the order to testify, she is relieved from engaging in any representation of America's interests, here or abroad.

---

Online story: "WASHINGTON (AP) — An administration official says the chief of the State Department's security service, one of his deputies and an official from the agency's Middle East bureau have resigned after a damning report that found systematic management failures responsible for a lack of security at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya." -- Hmmm, and what about the persons in charge of these people?

---

WRBL3 news story: "The community of Albany is the most generous in the state of Georgia, according to a report from a national philanthropy journal." -- Hmmm, Albany must be counting all of Sanford Bishop's grants as Bishop's own personal gifts. Bishop always seems to make that the case when he presents his earmark checks.

---

So appointing Bleep VeeP "don't mess with Joe" Biden has feds feeling like the problem of the mentally ill causing havoc in the USA is now under control. Hmmm, sounds just like what pot- US told us Joe would do about controlling the bail-out problem.

So the Mayor Obamlinson wants to save money by eliminating garbage pick ups, but she can send 4 people out to change a sign. I kid you not. At a side street off River Road near Clearview BarBQ, a work truck was backed up to a sign post. One guy was sitting on the truck screwing a nut onto a bolt holding the sign while 3, not 1, not 2, but 3 men all had 1 hand each on the sign pole to steady it for the guy actually working. Whew, I thought, glad they weren't sent to change a light bulb as they would have needed one more man to help turn the ladder.

Online story: "A day after two bank robbers escaped from a high-security high-rise lockup in downtown Chicago, the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Joseph "Jose" Banks and Kenneth Conley. " -- Hmmm, I'm sorta hoping the two bank robbers don't get caught... Hmmm, you think... well, if they don't get caught, taxpayers save the $50,000,00 reward money, the annual boarding expense, and the continuous legal bills we are paying their appeals lawyers. Besides, there's a good chance one or both will kill the other for the hidden cache of cash that hasn't been recovered.

L-E headline/story: "Semifinalist for Muscogee schools top job identified * Reached by phone in her Indiana office, (Karyle) Green agreed to talk only briefly when asked why she wants to be superintendent of Muscogee County’s 32,000-student district. * “I think that the Muscogee County School District has some amazing things happening,” she said. “It is a wonderful community." -- Hmmm, The MCSD Board SHOULD write this one off already... she spells her name phonetically, and either she's a brown-noser or she has no knowledge of the chaos within the system.

From the "wish I could claim this is my own comment" department, a non-liberal's L-E "soundoff": "Right on cue. The liberal talking points are to ban guns and video games. Why is it we don’t hear mention of rap music? " -- Right on!

--

Liberal's L-E "soundoff": "If you armed the teachers, we’d have more dead teachers. Statistics prove citizens armed in situations such as those typically end up dead." -- Once again, another lib pulling 'facts' out of the air trying to make a point, but the truth is that the psycho shooter would at minimum have has to take aim at someone shooting back than aiming at a group of 6 & 7 year olds.

---

Another liberal's L-E "soundoff": "No one should own an assault rifle except military and law enforcement. Our gun laws are insane. " -- And the blind shall lead the blind. It's not about lawful ownership and use of weapons that cause this, and if you take the guns from the lawful, psychos and malcontents would still get their hands on an illegal one, and there would be fewer citizens around ton protect each other until the police finally arrive.

Has any one heard the latest guess-timate for completion of the Whitewater project? When it was first started as an effort to restore the Chattahoochee, the cost was projected to be around $2 million to basically re=move the dams and let the river flow naturally. Sometime after that commercial sugar-plums started dancing above people's heads. The last cost guess-timate I heard was up into the mid-$20 millions, but that was months ago, and now no one is reporting costs incurrent stories. I think I may start a pool on the final costs.

L-E story: " WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama called the Army secretary to express concerns over arrests and the discovery of problems with background checks at an Army day care center and to urge a speedy investigation, U.S. officials said Wednesday. " -- Hmmm, guess pot-US Obluster will do anything to divert any look-see into Benghazi-gate.

---

L-E headline: "Shattered Newtown tries to make sense of tragedy " -- Good grief! Anyone who looks to find, much less finds, "sense" needs to be arrested and permanently assigned to a mental facility!

There's a letter in the L-E,(and whether accurate or not, I do sympathize with the writer) that his brother committed suicide with a gun he bought that same day, and the writer expressed wished there had been a 10 day waiting period. Unless someone has a 'carry permit' (which can take a couple of months or more for a new applicant) there is a waiting period of 7 days to purchase a handgun. That doesn't change the loss to the writer, but facts must be factual.

l-E story: "A bloodied man dressed as a woman was found dead early Tuesday at 507 28th Ave., Columbus police said. * Officers first thought the person was a woman lying along the curb on the west side of the road but later learned the person was a man. " -- Hmmm.... you know, I'm proud that was figured out here without having to send the body to be autopsied.

---

It's amazing to see major used car dealer ads featuring 10 to 15 year old cars on their lots. Just a few years ago, these would have qualified for the 'cash for clunkers' program.

---

I've asked one of our legislative BCers to explain the new 'title tax' going into effect in March of 2013. Another BCer alerted me to it, but it appears to be a new (and higher) sales tax on new and used cars that will never go away.

L-E headline: "Atlanta wants to keep Suh away from QB Ryan " -- Well, give him a free vacation to New Orleans and let the Saints coaching staff that Suh is in town.

L-E headline/story: "U.S. prepares to sell General Motors stock * Taxpayers are sure to lose billions of dollars in the deal, even though GM has bounced back from the darkest days of 2008, when it almost ran out of cash." -- Well, then let taxpayers put the stock into Algore's "social security lockbox", and then vote for when it is sold.
