Senator Portman... if your son came out and said he had tried cocaine, you would still love him, but would you want to legalize that, too? Your personal love does not mean it is the best thing for the country.

McClatchyMcClatchy headline story: "Death row inmates challenge use of death penalty drug * WASHINGTON — Daniel Wayne Cook sexually assaulted, tortured and killed two men, a jury agreed. He’s dead now, executed last August in an Arizona prison. * But Cook’s name lives on, as part of a lawsuit challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s allowing importation of a drug used in executions by injection. * “This case is not about halting executions, but about ensuring that illegal drugs are not used in carrying out otherwise legal executions,” attorney Eric A. Shumsky, who represents the death row inmates, said Friday. -- "This case is not about halting executions"? You're damned right it's not about 'otherwise legal executions"; it's about siphoning as many tax dollars as a lawyer can get out of the government! The ABA needs to neuter this particular lawyer to send a message to all others.

McClatchy story: "Fresno police are reporting a disturbing trend in the city's long-running war against car thieves: Imprisoned criminals are getting out quickly and teaching their skills to younger gang members." -- So we are seeing a new generation/category of "family businesses/reality show opportunities in California. Wonder how many are buying licenses, collecting & paying taxes, amd filing income taxes forms?

Online story: "Congressman Timothy Huelscamp revealed this week that the Department of Homeland Security has refused to answer questions from “multiple” members of Congress regarding its recent purchase of huge amounts of weapons and ammunition. * “They have no answer for that question. They refuse to answer to answer that.” Huelscamp said. * The DHS has purchased over 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the past year – enough to wage a 20 year plus war." -- Or to shorten/curtail a 'civil war' with a shortage of available ammo for individual American citizens. You know this is under direct order of Judas 00-bama because of the signature transparency (NOT) of the DHS.

There's more to this than Hillary revealed...... DOH!

Mayor Bloom(ring idiot)berg says 12,000 will die if gun control measures don' t pass. Hmmm, wonder if any mainstream media folks told him that 12,000 will die regardless.

Only quote: "“The power to tax involves the power to destroy,” Chief Justice John Marshall in McCulloch v. Maryland, 1819." Hmmm, man was Justice Marshall a visionary! His picture and this quote should be posted in every State house, and every voting booth (especially when the MCSD board asks for a SPLOST).

Unintended good intentions? States that have approved marijuana, medical and/or recreational use, are having problem because they have to retrain the drug sniffing dogs to ignore marijuana.

When he spoke at Georgetown University a few years back, Judas 00-Obama's advance team had a cross in the background covered before he spoke. Yesterday, he spoke in Israel with a banner of Arafat in the background. These are not 'hints', they're out-and-out arrogance.

TSA will humiliate a paraplegic Marine, but a person wearing an Air France pilot's uniform can walk through and get into an American passenger jet's cockpit. Don't you feel safer?

First round upsets should resonate through out the NCAA administrative offices. If you cut the NCAA field back to the old 32 number, you'd still have the top 32 teams to pare down from.

Online story: "CHICAGO — Under orders to trim hundreds of millions of dollars from its budget, the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday released a final list of 149 air traffic control towers that it will close at small airports around the country starting early next month. * The closures will not force any of those airports to shut down, but pilots will be left to coordinate takeoffs and landings among themselves over a shared radio frequency with no help from ground controllers. Those procedures are familiar to all pilots." -- Hmmm, sounds like the FAA could have/should have done this years ago instead of wasting tax dollars. Look where it has gotten us.

Unedited Huff&Post headline: "Demorats And Republicans Unite Against One Aspect Of Obamacare" -- Yes! Huff&Post has been reading my blog, and has turned on the DNC!

Story from above headline: "WASHINGTON -- It isn't every day that more than half the Democrats in the Senate vote to repeal part of President Barack Obama's health care law. * But that's what happened Thursday night when the Senate voted 79-20 to repeal a 2.3 percent sales tax on medical devices such as catheters, pacemakers and MRI machines, which was intended to help to finance coverage for the uninsured that starts next year. * ...others pointed out that the vote was nonbinding, amounting to budget guidance." -- Bubble burst! What ya bet every one of the dissenting DUMBERats will have a video byte of them voting against HELL-thScare in the 2014 Senate re-election campaigns?

L-E story: "Myers thought Wells’ filing an ethics complaint was hilarious: “Can you imagine John Wells’ filing an ethics complaint against somebody else? How funny is that?” -- Well, I'll be.. Lawyer Myers finally made a comment that can be declared "non-partisan/non-personal gain" in nature.

The real issue with the MCSD board's expenditures for legal services should be at how picayunish the board is on asking for legal advice.

Part 1 for today... Part 2 will come later after the Color Me Rad run, so check back.

Part 2:

Online story: "WASHINGTON – An exhausted Senate approved its first budget in four years early Saturday, calling for almost $1 trillion in tax increases over the coming decade while sheltering safety net programs targeted by House Republicans. * Despite the fanfare -- and the spectacle of senators lingering for hours into the weekend to vote on dozens of amendments before the final tally -- the budget passed by the smallest of margins, 50-49. Four Democrats facing tough re-elections voted against it. " -- What leadership! NOT! Hope the Republicans hold the DUMBERats's votes who voted no because of the re-elections up to vivid scrutiny. Those 4 were afraid to vote their convictions, so what else are they afraid of?

Online headline: "Georgia Baby Dead: 13-Month-Old Antonio Shot By Young Boy In Front Of Mother, Sherry West, Police Say * A Georgia woman said Friday a teenager trying to rob her at gunpoint asked "Do you want me to kill your baby?" before he fatally shot her 13-month-old son in the head." -- Where the hell is the ACLU demanding the all the teens not only be charged as adults, but with an absolute HATE crime. No amount of prison time will 'rehab' these, so forget the trial. take straight to the death chamber!

Online story: "DENVER — Attorney Jack Ebel testified before the Colorado Legislature two years ago that solitary confinement in a Colorado prison was destroying the psyche of his son, Evan. * When Jack Ebel's longtime friend, Gov. John Hickenlooper, was interviewing a Missouri corrections official for the top prisons job in Colorado, he mentioned the case as an example of why the prison system needed reform. And once Tom Clements came to Colorado, he eased the use of solitary confinement and tried to make it easier for people housed there to re-enter society." -- Is it because Hickenlooper is a DUMBERat that the media didn't mention his association with white supremists before his election? Oh yeah, I do agree the prison system needs reform... dangerous people need to die in the first 3 years of incarceration, not paroled.

Once and for all,L-E headline: "OBAMA WARNS OF SYRIA BECOMING EXTREMIST ENCLAVE " -- "Warns"? Judas 00-bama is actually head cheerleader!

The DUMBERat interest in the minimum wage laws are two-fold: 1 is to make Republicans look cold-hearted, but the main reason is to booster their relationship with the unions. Raising the minimum wage will actually make fewer jobs available for teens and first time workers, but more important to DUMBERats is that the base union scale is predicated by a formula on the minimum wage.

L-E's "Online comment of the day: BoZoe (aptly mnamed) said: “I wish all kids were told that when they are threatened or hit at school to call the police." -- Bet the Chief of Police would welcome this since there's not enough actual crime going on to keep our police officers busy. Bet this low-info voter would voter to assign every child their own person al body guard... as long as he doesn't have to pay for it.

L-E story: " NEW YORK — The producers of the cable TV miniseries on the Bible say Internet chatter that their Satan character resembles President Barack Obama is “utter nonsense.” -- Absolutely... their Satan doesn't resemble Judas 00-bama, 00-bama IS Satan.

Just for follow-up. When I told Council and Historic Columbus about the faux pas of naming the North End of Lakebottom "Wildwood Park" because 3 blocks north is the original "Wildwood Park", they all did their interpretations of Uncle Remus' "Br'er Rabbit".... they just didn't say nothin'.
