Online headline/story: "Chief Justice's Comments Called 'Disturbing' *
Justices heard arguments Wednesday in a challenge to the part of the Voting
Rights Act that forces places with a history of discrimination, like the Deep
South, to get approval before changing the way elections are held. During the
arguments, Roberts asked Solicitor General Donald Verrilli if he knew "which
state has the worst ratio of white voter turnout to African-American voter
turnout," claiming that state is Massachusetts." -- "Disturbing"? Truth..... the
liberals greatest fear.

Online headline: "Baby Born With HIV Apparently Cured, Say Scientists: --
Apparently a new technique of drug delivery right after birth has becime a
possible cure. A now 2 1/2 year old baby was treated with a new technique, and
has been off the drugs for 1 year and shows no signs of anymore of the virus.
We're talking major medical history here... like the polio fears we grew up
with. Thank God for this blessing... oh, and thank the scientists/doctors'
parents for not having an abortion.....

Online story: "Beginning this week, the Israeli Transportation Ministry
will operate buses in the West Bank that appear to be designated as
"Palestinian-only," a development that has led some activists to allege racial
discrimination." -- "Racial discrimination"? The Palestinians have been
watching too much MSNBC and CNN. How about calling it what is is... genocide
prevention.
---
I know it's "all about the money", but why doesn't Israel just stop bus
service altogether in the West Bank?

Online story: "Various Italian news sources reported Sunday that a mild
earthquake had struck Rome and surrounding areas, including Castel Gandolfo, the
former pope's temporary home. * This latest event comes on the heels of a photo
that appeared to show a bolt of lightning striking St. Peter's Basilica in
Vatican City just hours after Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation on
Feb. 11." -- Hmmm... maybe the Pope made a good move, but not quite fast enough
for God...

I've been thinking further about a comment I made last week about the
super-wealthy sitting on their money by placing it in humanitarian foundations.
I know the company Bill Gates co-founded is still churning out innovation, but
what has Gates done with his personal wealth to invest in new industry/jobs?
Bless him for caring about human plights, but what has that done for helping
people out of their situations?

Watched the first episode of the History Channel's version of "The Bible" .
My bride and I tried to keep up with it by following it along with our own
Bibles, but soon realized the script must have come from another version, a
politically (versus religious) correct one, we were unfamiliar with. Looked it
up online and found a critic who nailed the version that must have been used...
The Queen James 2012 version.

From a fellow BCer: "BACKGROUND: The State of
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education just issued
guidelines for opening all facilities to transgender students in public schools.
The guidelines state that the transgender/transvestite student will NOT be
denied access to whichever facility their garb-of-the-day indicates, regardless
of the discomfort of other students. The following is a direct quote from the
guidelines: "Some students may feel uncomfortable with a transgender
student using the same sex-segregated restroom, locker room or changing
facility. This discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender
student. (Massachusetts DOE
Guidelines, February 2013)" -- Chief
Justice Roberts just pared Massachusetts open on its voting history, and now
this.... Don't you know the Founding Fathers are furious.

Dual online headlines: " Report: The Top 1 Percent Of Americans Will Pay 30
Percent Of The Nation's Federal Taxes In 2013 * Taxes On The Rich Near 30-Year
High" -- Will some DUMBERat please explain how fair the tax structure is?
---
Online headline: "Dennis Rodman Delivers Message To Obama On Kim Jong Un's
Behalf" -- Wonder if it was a 'slam dunk' or a 'double dribble'?
---
HuffPost headline: "Jay Leno on the Way Out at NBC?" -- Hmmm, nust be
because Leno's rating climbed after he started tellin potUS 00-Bama jokes
again.

The PGA needs to step in and invalidate Ricky Fowler's clothing contract.
Sunday, he looked like he was wearing a DOC orange jumpsuit doing Community
Service picking up trash along a walking path in a public park.

Online story: "In the midst of automatic spending cuts and chronically late
budgets, President Obama on Monday will nominate Walmart executive Sylvia
Burwell as his next budget director, a senior administration official said." --
Bet she doesn't last 6 months on the job... potUS 00-Bama will go nuts when she
applies the Wlamart game plan she knows so well.... 'cutting' figures when the
merchandise isn't performing.
---
Hmmm, now that Cargill and Duck have been ousted, and Becca Wiggins has
decided to take early (very early ;-) retirement), do you imagine Mike Owens
might 'inquire' as to why she was overlooked for the promotion which was given
to a guy with a primary degree in psycholgy or some other worthless
degree?

Numbers for the new parking deck at the new Columbus Square City Service
Buildin and Natatorium: 370 parking spaces; $5,172,874.00 dollars spent. Lets
see, at a dollar per hour parking fee, and if every space is full 8 hours per
day/5 days per week, then the parking garage would be paid of in about 7 years.
Let's be realistic, though.. At a dollar per hour, usage will be less than the
usually empty downtown city garages that charge $2.00 a stay, so let's look at
the CS (Columbus Square/City Services?) figure based on $2.00 per day per space.
$2.00 x 370 spaces x 5 days a week would generate $3,700.00 per week/$192,000+/-
annually. In 26+ years, it would generate revues offsetting the initial building
costs... Unfortunately, with the track records of other government building, the
garage will probably have to be torn down in 20 years and rebuilt, plus no
accounting for operational costs have been include (or projected to my
knowledge), and heaven knows 370 'usages' at $2.00 for 5 days a week ain't gonna
happen. Hold on to the tax freeze!!!!!

L-E headline: "UK: Queen
hospitalized over stomach infection" -- Hmm, bet it was from eating the kinds
words she said when potUS 00-Bama was first elected.
---
L-E headline: "U.S. to give Egypt $190 million * Kerry says more money to
help pay country’s bills depends on Morsi" -- Yeah, I'll bet the that $190 M
will get sequestered into Morsi's personal accounts. Hey, why doesn't China or
Saudi Arabia give us a few Trillion so we can pay off our
'bills'?
---
A weekend column in the
New York Times, yes, the New York Times, has called potUS 00-Bama on the carpet
for his lack of leadership. Yes, I said the New York Times did this. Don't you
love it when libs eat their own?

From the L-E's "Looking back | Fifty years ago today,
March 4, 1963" feature: "Two Protestant
missionaries, one of them an American, were killed and two of their children
seriously wounded today in a Communist guerrilla ambush 50 miles north
of Saigon" -- Sad, but what's even sadder is that Christian missionaries in
southeast Asia still must work under secrecy that includes not using their real
names. It's not one
world.

L-E headline/story:
"Biden leads re-enactment of voting rights
march * More than 5,000 follow
him across Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma * SELMA, Ala. — The vice president and black leaders
commemorating a famous civil rights march on Sunday said efforts to diminish the
impact of African-Americans’ votes haven’t stopped in the years since the 1965
Voting Rights Act added millions to Southern voter rolls. * The 50-mile march
prompted Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act that struck down impediments to
voting by African-Americans and ended all-white rule in the South. * Al
Sharp-ton said: “We are not here for a commemoration. We are here for a
continuation.” " -- Yep... the DUMBERats just do not want black voters to ever
leave the 60's. I guess it's because the DUMBERats know they will lose the
black vote once the black vote wakes up in the 21st
Century.

Online headline/story: "Gay group calls for
apology from Scottish cardinal * Cardinal Keith O'Brien quit last week as
Britain's top Roman Catholic cleric after being accused of inappropriate
behavior by (with) several priests. * O'Brien said that "my sexual conduct has
fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal.
* O'Brien had been a staunch advocate of church teaching against homosexuality,
calling same-sex marriage "a grotesque subversion of a universally accepted
human right." -- I'm confused... what do other gays want him to apologize for,,,
being gay or being against same-sex
marriage?
---
L-E headline/story: "Female kicker’s NFL tryout lasts all of two
kicks * She tried two kickoffs, the first going 19 yards and the second about
13 yards. She then asked to see a trainer." -- "19 and 13 yards"? Then she asked
to see a trainer... sounds like she should has asked where the nearest 'exit'
was.
