From the "hypocrite of the century award category" - Online story: "WASHINGTON -- Adolphus Busch IV, heir to the Busch family brewing fortune, resigned his lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association on Thursday, writing in a letter to NRA President David Keene, "I fail to see how the NRA can disregard the overwhelming will of its members who see background checks as reasonable." -- This coming from a man who's family business has contributed to more deaths and family issues/miseries than even the tobacco industry. Hope the NRA membership resigns as Budweiser drinkers.

Update: Suspect number 1 in Boston is dead... details are still coming in but he's dead.

Since suspect number 2 has been given a name of ethnicity origins, and pictures show him going one way with a backpack that has a lot more volume than running clothes, and another identifiable picture of him hurriedly leaving the scene without said backpack... I'm going to contain my thoughts and immediate anger until more is revealed. If captured alive, I do hope a raffle is held to see which American gets to make the killing blow for decency.

If Judas 00-bama was really interested in getting a grip on violence, he'd issue an Executive Order to remove "Django Unchained" from movie sales, rentals, and theaters.

Had someone question my adamancy about the misuse of tragedy when terrorism is the necessary word: I think that a family dying in a small airplane accident is a tragedy. I think people vacationing on a beach when a tsunami erupts is a tragedy. I think a teen dying/killing someone while texting is a tragedy. Planting a bomb to kill & maim people is not a tragedy... it's an act of terrorism; it's an act of war.

Dump truck caravan, patch 2nd Avenue; dump truck caravan, patch 2nd Avenue; dump truck caravan, patch 2nd Avenue. Hmmm, can we see a pattern here? Doesn't this look like the example of what "insanity" is? Either FIX the road bed so dump trucks won't tear it up every few months or make dump truck caravans go to the south via Veterans Parkway or I-185.

Just a point... Senator McConnell is running ads blasting the group that illegally taped he and his staff's conversations about Ashley Judd as being 'allies' of Judas 00-bama. Senator... that's probably true as your 'allies' wouldn't do such, but you're spinning wheels and giving to much time to something the public already feels distaste for, and if anything, causing eyebrows to raise wondering if there's more to it. Give it up.

Online story: "LAS CRUCES, N.M. — A retired judge accused of soliciting bribes for former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson pleaded no contest Thursday to misdemeanor misconduct * Former state district Judge Michael Murphy entered the plea under a deal with prosecutors that dismissed four felony charges and ended a high-profile case that shocked the judiciary two years ago when GOP prosecutors alleged the bribes were part of a long-running practice for picking judges in southern New Mexico." -- And in true western-type justice, he has been "barred from ever again holding public office or entering the state district court building in Las Cruces." Of course, ex-Gov Richardson is still a DUMBERat hero. It also demonstrates why we get such devastating court orders and decisions form liberal judges, and more than justifies major vetting by Republican Senators to ant Judas 00-bama wants to appoint.

Online headline: "US Colin Powell Warns North Korea Against Using Nuclear Weapons" -- Who the hell is Powell working for... it surely isn't my country.

McClatchy online headline: "Venezuelan judge says there will be no recount in presidential election" -- I thought you might be interested in this story: Venezuelan judge says there will be no recount in presidential election. Hmmm, must be nice to be the despot, too. PS - Where's Cuzzin Jimmy making sure the election results were fair?

Will the South Carolina Republicans please replace Mark Sanford as its candidate.... urgently! I don't know which is the worser outcome.... him winning and being 2014 DUMBERat fodder for other elections, or the sister of John Colbert getting elected instead.

In the right of way of the City at the CB&T at the corner of Whitesville & Whittlesey, there is a political sign still standing for a candidate in last August's runoff election. Would the winner please waste some taxpayer dollars by ordering a deputy to pick it up for you?

Joe Robbins... rest in peace. Wish people wouldn't remember his as becoming the 'first black CPD sergeant". I remember him for his forthrightness and bravery.

L-E "soundoff": "Are you smarter than a fifth-grader? Not when you are a school board member quoted in the newspaper saying, “Don’t nobody think about that?” -- Nice try at a fitting analogy, but the truth is our 5th graders probably don't know how bad her grammar is... it's what they know.

Party of No or Party of KNOW..... I just KNOW the DUMBERats should be the Party of NO WAY!

Why is it, with Judas 00-bama's lifetime history of 'progressivism', that any one would not look askance at any olive bough he might extend. The vision he'll be remembered for will be as Lucy spotting the football for Charlie Brown.

L-E headline: "Could you live on $5 a day? * Food Stamp Challenge dares community leaders to try for a week " -- This is a BS challenge, and why is the L-E participating? Help when needed is wonderful, but programs designed to neuter initiative just devour hopes of becoming self-sustaining.
