Older online headline/story: "Rush Limbaugh Show Moved From CBS Affiliate
Station WPHT-Philadelphia * Rush Limbaugh's show has been moved from
Philadelphia's top conservative radio station. * Philadelphia's CBS affiliate
WPHT will now air the more moderate radio host Michael Smerconish. The New York
Times reported that the move," -- This story happened in April 2012, but I came
across it this AM looking for another matter. Having the NY Times call CBS the
'top CONSERVATIVE radio station" in Philadelphia was the 'red flag' I saw. All
this occurred during the Sandra Fluke expose/challenge Rush lead, all of which
was true then and now, but this is probably why urban areas have become
impenetrable by conservatives during elections... there is no conservative
base.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee declared she was standing in Washington as
"freed slave". Huh? Has she abandoned the DUMBRRat Party and joined the
Republicans?

Some Italian jeans company thinks it has trademark protection right to
"Jesus". Hmmm, I do believe God claimed that right a couple of thousand years
ago. It doesn't pay to mess with The Father of 'nature', either.

Online headline/story: "Voting Rights Act Supreme Court Case: Scalia
Condemns The 'Perpetuation Of Racial Entitlement' * WASHINGTON -- Conservative
justices on the Supreme Court expressed skepticism Wednesday about whether the
federal government should still be requiring preclearance of voting system
changes in certain places with a history of racial discrimination in elections.
* Justice Antonin Scalia suggested that the continuation of Section 5 of the
Voting Rights Act represented the "perpetuation of racial entitlement," saying
that lawmakers had only voted to renew the act in 2006 because there wasn't
anything to be gained politically from voting against it. * "Whenever a society
adopts racial entitlements, it is very difficult to get out of them through the
normal political processes," Scalia said during oral argument in Shelby County
v. Holder." -- Heaven help us if a DUMBERat's in office when Scalia
dies/retires. Scalia is a NJ born, Catholic, Harvard grad who has seen the
discriminatory and destructive nature of encapsulating minority groups in
decisions.

Did you know we have been paying federal union workers to work on union
'business' even though the wages are set by law and they are not allowed to
"strike"? Well, we do... in fact over $156 Million in 2011, and even more for
2012. All total, federal employees were paid for over 3,400,000 hours of
unneeded "union duties" work (that's over $45.00 per hour). Yeah, right.
DUMBERats can't find budget cut items.

Noticed something today that needs to be investigated. potUS 00-Bama said
he converted WWW.barackobama.com to a 501 c (4) site named
WWW.organizingforaction.com, BUT his staff is still using e-mail from
barackobama.com, and still encouraging donations.

Online story: "WASHINGTON — The senior Homeland Security Department
official in charge of arresting and deporting undocumented immigrants announced
his retirement the same day the agency said that hundreds of people facing
deportation had been released from immigration jails due to looming budget cuts,
* ICE is required by Congress to maintain 34,000 immigration jail beds. As of
last week, the agency held an average daily population of 30,733 in its jails. *
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano warned this week that DHS might not
be able to afford to maintain those 34,000 jail beds and that mandatory budget
cuts would hurt the department's core missions." -- "due to looming budget
cuts"? If the program had 34,000 jail beds available, but were only using 30,733
of them, this constitutes to an equivalence of a pre-budget cut of nearly 10%
already, so what does a possible 2% 'looming budget cut" have to do
with sending criminal back onto our streets? Where's Guillermo Horton?

From above story: "The (Oscars) telecast climbed to a strong 40.3 million
viewers on Sunday, the biggest audience in three years. " -- If I was an
advertiser, I'd like to see an ad audit of ABC's figures. My guess is that if
40+ Million viewers saw some of it, they were checking to see if the show was
finally over, and if the late local news was on. Either that or 39 Million were
in California.

On the corner of Warm Springs & Miller Rds, there's a used car lot with

As a layperson, I do not understand why a judge would throw out evidence of
whether an officer was right to check a teen driver for intoxication while still
on the site of the accident. Officers must have leeway as to what indications
dictate their actions in such conditions. The precedence used was for a person
of over 21, and alcohol laws are different based on being 21 or older, and
under 21.

Synovus' way of solving things is less and less caring about Columbus. More
local layoffs, which followed Synovus' decision to make a major purchase of ATMs
from a German manufacturer versus buying from NCR which is majorly invested in
Columbus just demonstrates Synovus' distancing itself from its Columbus roots.
Perhaps selling off its executive offices that overlook the Whitewater course,
and reimbursing Columbus for the cost of 'terracing' the RiverWalk area in the
Synovus building front yard to become a viewing station would salve local
interests.

Online story: "Secretary of State John Kerry was barely off the plane in
Germany before he embarrassed himself-and all of us-with what is perhaps the
worst defense of religious freedom ever offered. Kerry, the unsuccessful
Democratic candidate for president in 2004, said the United States protects
religious freedom because: "In America, you have right to be stupid." -- Hmmm,
don't recall "that" in either the rights that are God given, nor professed in
our Constitution, so I guess Kerry was talking about the "privilege/imitiative"
DUMBERats take to woo stupid people into voting for kool-aid providers.

Low... very low-info liberal's L-E "soundoff": "Every time a big corporation buys its competition,
the light of capitalism dims. " -- Capitalism soars when an established
corporation can provide a bigger audience for a fledgling idea/product, or when
one corporation absorbs another and saves some of the jobs and all the
collateral side businesses that would die if certain products disappeared
altogether. Why aren't the positives of a thriving capitalist environment taught
in public schools?

L-E's "Thought for Today": “Education is learning what you
didn’t even know you didn’t know.” — Daniel J. Boorstin, American historian,
educator and Librarian of Congress (1914-2004). -- Hmmm, unless liberals
are in charge of the curriculum. Then, education is about learning what liberals
want you to know about not learning what else is out there for the driven and
curious.

A L-E editorial discussing water safety after the fact is sorta what's
going on while Whitewater Project is evolving, but lets be cognizant that lots
of interests do not have enough safeguards to prevent solo incidences of
violence, bad judgement, nor bad editorializing. Quote from this editorial:
"As things stand now in Georgia, there’s
little or no demand for demonstrated competence, and consequences for
non-compliance are too … inconsequential. The fact that you have to get drunker
in a boat than in a car to be in violation of the law is just one glaring
symptom of the problem." --There is
little or no demand for journalistic competence in the GA Code, either, and who
knows better but individuals who buy ink by the barrel.

Did you read the letter
co-written/co-signed by well known local political pundits in today's L-E? I
cannot comfortably discern whether the former head of Muscogee Democratic Party
has had an epiphany or is setting a major trap for his Republican co-author?
Whether its true or not, it is refreshing to see a DUMBERat concerned about
excess government spending and waste. Wish that feeling could be transferred to
our Mayor and Council.

potUS 00-Bama's concern over gun control

From L-E's "Online comment of the day": “I cannot
believe that Sean eliminated AshLee...WHAT AN IDIOT. She is beautiful, refined,
lives in Houston which is not far from Dallas, her father I believe is a
preacher just like his father. She is also more mature.” — Excerpted from “Jan
Qualia,” in response to “The Bachelor TV blog: Sean Lowe chooses Lindsay and
Catherine, eliminates an angry AshLee and her killer stare” -- Does this not
epitomize what wrong with mainstream media! What difference does it make whether
this "Sean" has a brain or not? It's pretty well established that none of the
women have any morals, self-esteem, nor standards because they've sought out to
be in open competition to be a man's 'object'. Where is N.O.W. protesting this
actually relevant issue?

Why do politicians think "tweeting" their movement
is of any interest to anybody else? All it means to me is that they've focused
on themselves rather that the issues at hand, and demonstrated there they are
basically "big twit".

From L-E story: "Glenn Brock, the consultant leading the Muscogee
County School Board’s search for its next superintendent, has left the law firm
that was called Brock, Clay, Calhoun & Rogers LLC, with offices in Marietta
and Atlanta. * but his departure won’t
hinder the superintendent search, said board chairman Rob Varner. *
First of all, the board’s
contract with Brock, whose fee can’t exceed $25,000, is with Brock himself, not
his firm. Secondly, his new firm might increase his ability to find candidates,
Varner said. * “It’s apparently a huge
firm with 470 lawyers, up and down Eastern Seaboard,” Varner said. “They have a
specialty in education law. He was able to take a team of folks with him to the
new firm that all had some degree of specialty in education law. … So I suspect,
net-net, it will be a positive for us.” " -- Hmmm.. a specialist in "education
law"? First, it seems that his specialty would basically attract educators with
problems, and secondly, taking educators with problems for clients means he
won't disclose any personal knowledge of his clients as he tries to move them
into a new position where nobody knows him/her. This cannot be good for Muscogee
County.

From the above L-E story, also: " One
Soundoff reader — yes,
we read Soundoff here in Chatterland — noted that poor attendance at Columbus
Civic Center is due to 90-pound capacity seats for 300-pound patrons. Until 1996
seats are replaced with 2013 seats, attendance will be a problem, the reader
noted. * That drew an email response
from Civic Center Director Ross Horner, who has been in Columbus
almost two years. *“I thought the same thing when I started — so about
a year ago we purchased ‘larger than average’ seats that can take up to 500 lbs.
for our handicap accessible areas,” Horner wrote. " -- Oh, so being in the 300
pound range is considered being handicapped by a City employee. I can almost
feel the drool coming out of Lawyers' Row across from the Government
Center.
