Online headline: "Women In Combat: Leon Panetta Removes Military Ban, Opening Front-Line Positions" -- Guess Hollywood money has reached the top.... now Hollywood can boast its older war movies are realistic. Also, this will divert the Republicans from real issues in war zones.

Hmmm,. if Hillary could now come up with 29 things to implement following Benghazi, why weren't most, even some, implemented in January of 2009 when she first took over?

---

The protocol used at the Committee questioning Hillary was guaranteed to fail. Alternating Democrat and Republican Senators' question guaranteed that so no follow up questions would ever be asked.

---

After listening to the Congressional Committee on Benghazi opening speeches by various committee members, Hillary's "I was in the kitchen baking cookies with the Obamas" is going to work for her.

---

Did you notice Hillary's new eyeglasses? They were about as unattractive as possible, and as thick ad Coca Cola bottle bottoms. I guess if the " baking cookies" defense falters, she has a back up defense of not being able to see/read Benghazi reports because she lost her glasses in the cookie batter.

---

I think I figured out what happened to my lost Halloween costume. Hillary found the glasses/nose/moustache, and removed most of the moustache.

---

Hillary has added a third defense strategy. If baking cookies and losing her glasses don't work, it was the Republican House's fault.

---

The "questions" Hillary was asked by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA, were little more than an introduction at a campaign fund raiser.

---

So, Hillary created an assistant deputy Secretary to handle "high threats". Hmmm, so her solution is to create one more layer of bureaucracy to getting things done the next time a Benghazi happens.

---

We were impressed with how quick Bill Clinton could shed a tear at a moments notice, but Hillary took it to an art form, then shut it down in an instant.

---

Did I hear her right? Hillary just said she and the administration were in agreement that the Libyan, Egyptian, and Syrian al-Qaida rebels are emerging "democracies"? Sharia law is a democracy based form of government?

---

Sen. Paul Rand asked the only question of Hillary that caught her off guard but she recovered enough on his followup to use up Rand's time to question allotment.

---

You know, pot-US Obluster's second term needs to be historically remembered as the term of the 45th President. He ran against his first term so well, he beat Romney at doing the same thing.

---

Hillary said she doesn't read all the cables that come into the State Department. She says she has designated employees who have specific responsibilities. OK, then whom has she fired for failure to keep her up-to-date on what was happening in Benghazi.

---

Why did most if not all questions asked by DUMBERats of Hillary seem to be about security in the future when she has already submitted her resignation, and the subject was about something that happened on her watch?

---

Sen. Menedez D-NM, says a former defense official once said there were more people in military bands than in the foreign service. Well, ay least the band members were contributing to the good of our soldiers and our country.

---

A Fox anchor said Hillary did what she had to do... testify about what she knew
.. WRONG! Hillary related what she wanted to talk about.

Once again, why are gold sellers pushing sales of their gold to new people rather than holding on to what they already own and buying more?

Online story: 'WASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to raise the nation's debt ceiling by an unspecified amount, suspending the federal government's restriction on borrowing until late May. * The legislation passed the lower chamber by 285 to 144, with nearly three dozen Republicans opposing the measure. " -- Wimps! Now, according to the pot-US Obluster strategy, with no cap in force, he can go to all the restaurants he wants in the next 4 months, eat all he wants, then tell Congress it has to pay his bills. That could be another trillion in a blink of his "I".

---

Now get this... the House vote was 285-144. 36 smart Republicans voted against it. 6 representative didn't vote. Doing the math, 108 DUMBERats voted against it too. Maybe we're giving to much credit about Republicans be 'smart', yet even 3 times as many DUMBERats voted against the bill than Republicans.

---

Online headline: "Boehner: Obama On A Mission To 'Annihilate The Republican Party' -- Yeah, to bad he has so many GOPers aiding and abetting him.

---

Online headline: "Peter Robbins, Charlie Brown Voice Actor, Arrested For Alleged Stalking" -- Elmo, then Barney, and now Charlie Brown... you know, libs fill these jobs aimed at influencing our children. Wake up call!

Online headline: "Obama Inauguration Ratings Down Sharply From 2009" -- Well,the dead can only vote for him, not watch him on TV.

---

Did you know that beginning this weekend, retailers can start charging you up to the amount of their credit card processor's fees onto your purchase in the form of a 'check out fee'? This first time one tries it on me, I will cancel the transcation and let the store clerks restock what I leave on the conveyor belt.

Online headline: "Junior Seau's Family Sues NFL for Wrongful Death After Suicide" -- Rumor has it that the NFL will counter sue for the family to prove it was wrongful.

L-E story: "Even with moving the Armor School to Fort Benning, the Maneuver Center of Excellence is training fewer soldiers, a post official said Wednesday. * The post has trained soldiers from the Armor School since the school moved to Fort Benning from Fort Knox, Ky. As part of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure process, that move was completed in September 2011. For fiscal year 2012, the first full year with the Armor and Infantry schools training on post, officials said 93,200 soldiers were trained, although the projection was 96,000." -- Wow, I think I'm going to be right... Walmart will have a bigger army than the US by hiring 100,000 vets over the next 5 years.

---

So the $10.5 Million dollar Natatorium will be opening this summer. This is the facility our P&R head could not 'man' without a $1.2 million dollar annual operating deficit. How can an 'only' $10.5 million dollar 'investment be projected to lose over $1.2 million annually (and that won't include ongoing maintenance/depreciation). Anybody who voted "for" that SPLOST should be banned from voting on any other SPLOST issue in the future.

---

L-E "soundoff": "With all the money the school board is wasting, it sure would be nice if they would give the maintenance workers at least a cost-of-living raise, which they have not had in six years. " -- Obviously a MCSD maintenance worker's input.... notice how easy it was for him to be spot on the waste factor within the school system?

---

L-E's "Thought for Today": “All men wish to have truth on their side; but few to be on the side of truth.” — Richard Whately, British theologian (1787-1863). " -- Hmmm, even then DUMBERats were making up the truth as they wanted to believe it....

---

L-E story: "FONTANA, Calif. — The school police force in this Southern California city has acquired 14 high-powered semiautomatic rifles for officers to bring to campuses. " -- Just making sure the police have adequate practice time at the range would be cheaper and more effective.

---

L-E headline: "Deep freeze to continue into weekend in East " -- Hmmm, California a couple of weeks ago, and now New England... DUMBERat lairs are freezing over.

---

Racism has been brought into the battleground of the sugary drinks restrictions in NYC. Seems the lawyers have noted that sugary drinks are 'brown', and low cal citrus drinks are 'white'.

---

L-E headline: "Air Force general calls sex assaults a ‘cancer’ " -- Hmmm, wonder if he mentioned the sure-fire cure is amputation?

---

Why is completing the roundabout at St Elmo something the City deserves a pat-on-the-back for? It has not accomplished anything better than the old configuration except pedestrians will have to be quicker on their feet and look both ways, and the money spent could have been used to shore up the twice=weekly garbage pick up for the next 16 months.

---

L-E story: " A teenage boy was arrested for shoplifting Tuesday afternoon at the Buena Vista Road Wal-Mart after eating the store’s potato chips without purchase and attempting to steal condoms, according to a Columbus police report. * The condoms were recovered. The juvenile was charged with misdemeanor shoplifting and released to his sister." -- Hmmm, yeah, that'll teach him a lesson. The police should have retrieved the potato chips as well!

There's only one question Te'o needs to be asked: "Well, why didn't you try to go to her funeral, or at least meet with her family?
