Online headline: "Four Gay NFL Players Could Come Out 'Sooner Than You Think' -- Hmmm, well there go the bonding rituals of hand-holding in the huddle and congratulatory butt slaps. Probably about time...

---

Online headline: "Obama Budget Proposal Cuts Are 'Unconscionable,' Says AFL-CIO" -- Hmmm, the unions get to read it before the Senate or Pelosi read it. Who are the DUMBERats gonna ask about what's in it?

Online headline: "Beyonce, Jay-Z Blasted For Cuba Vacation On Fifth Anniversary " -- Oooops, my bad. Thought maybe Dennis Rodman was complaining because he only got to go to North Korea.

Online story: "the number of Americans in the labor force — those who have a job or are looking for one — fell by nearly half a million people from February to March, the government said Friday. And the percentage of working-age adults in the labor force — what's called the participation rate — fell to 63.3 percent last month. It's the lowest such figure since May 1979." -- There's celebration in Americus, GA! Cuzzin Jimmy has rejoiced that he's officially no longer the worst President ever!

Online headline/story: "Legendary Poet Pablo Neruda To Be Exhumed * ISLA NEGRA, Chile — The body of Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda is being exhumed this weekend in an effort to clear up four decades of suspicion about how he died in the days after Chile's military coup." -- Ooops, my bad again. Thought maybe Congress wanted his to testify that it was him who voted of 00-bama in 2012.

---

Online story: "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Friday that he will consider enacting the so-called "nuclear option," or changing Senate rules by a simple majority vote, if judicial nominations do not start moving through the Senate" -- Considering decisions being handed down already, we certainly do not need anymore judges that 00-bama and Reid agree with.

---

Online headline: "Ex-Dominican Drug Chief Extradited To U.S." -- Ooops, my bad again... thought 00-bama had pulled in a new judge recruit to handle pending recreational marijuana cases in Colorado and Washington.

Poor Judas 00-bama.... the NCAA has presented him with a political nightmare. Does he pull for the last team standing from his 2013 Bracket picks, or for the Union's favorite team, Michigan.

Online headline: "See Who Leads Sporting News' Top 25 MLB Players" -- How depressing... I recognized only 8 of the names. I can still name the lineup of my childhood favorite Red Sox, but most of these new "stars" will be on a different team next year.

At the beach looking out from the upstairs bar at Harry T's as boats come and go. Bet the boaters are glad our mayor isn't theirs. I could see her greedy eyes trying to figure out how to charge hourly anchoring fees and what kind of toll she could charge fpr entering or leaving the bay.

Those fast food strikers in NYC..... I really would like to see one of their W2's. I have a hard time believing any one in NYC makes $7.25,especially after 6 months of employment.

The White House is pushing mortgage companies to restart making high risk loans again.... that's right, Judas 00-bama is trying to refill a burst balloon with another shot of his hot air.

New classification for government jobs. 'healthcare navigators' @ $20.00 - $48.00 an hour. This oughtta increase hospital Admittances for spontaneous heart attacks. Shoot, doctors may retire and take on "healthcare navigator" jobs to increase their income.

---

Now, even airlines are trying to blame 'the sequester' for revenue losses. They are saying they aren't getting last minute sales (which go at outrageous rates) from government employees. To me, airlines hurt themselves by charging less for early bookings than by giving incentives like seat selection, no luggage fees, free movie headphones and such for advanced customers. As flight day nears, and more ticket sales are needed, then offer appropriate discounts.

Online story: "MSNBC Host: Is Dr. Ben Carson 'Just a Black Sarah Palin?' * there’s no adequate words to describe the lefty tools at MSNBC like Thomas Roberts who want to smear every conservative woman or black like they did to Sarah Palin." -- Like I've said before, even Judas 00-bama couldn't have gotten elected or re-elected as a Republican.

---

With the 'royals' back in the headline with 'pay raises', 'pregnancy', and other incidents in the England news focus, why not make a 21st Century move and have the next "queen" elected at the ballot. What a reality show idea to have the current 'royals' thrust into the real job market and maintain their lifestyle.

Annika Sorenstam is indeed a living legend in the world of women's golf, but I have no idea (well, actually iI do, $$$$$$) why the current Haskins Commission would want to muddy up the focus of its beginnings. The Fred Haskins Award was established to highlight the role of teaching professionals, the club pros, in developing the game of golf. While Annika Sorenstam is no doubt a leading woman player, who are the students she's developed?

Online headline: "Obama: “I Am Constrained by the System Our Founders Put in Place” -- You better well believe it, too! This is attributable to the insight our Founding Fathers had when they put together our Constitution in the 1780's... their vision saw the rise of Judas 00-bama.

Online headline: "Obama in California: ‘I could get a whole lot more done if Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the House’ -- Yeah... like in 2009 & 2010? We got an unread HELL-thScare bill, and a lifetime of future ills. In 2010, America spoke loud and clear about how it feels about Queen Pelosi; we must pray that Californians come to their senses in her next election process.

L-E headline: "$24.4 million * Whitewater course funded by blend of public, private funds, including $5M each from city, W.C. Bradley Co. * River restoration committee chairman says private money came from more than 50 donors, reasons for giving varied" -- "River restoration committee chairman"? Well, at one time it was a 'river restoration' project, but that's changed and so should the committee name. "Committee to Pave the Chattahoochee" is a lot more fitting.

Low-info lib's L-E "soundoff": "GOP Governors Bentley and Deal will now be closing rural public schools, busing our kids long distances, firing teachers and giving our tax dollars to expensive charter schools. More trickle-down economics." -- "Trickle-down economics"? Actually, it's caused by the DUMBERats' "tumble-down necessity".

---

Another low-info lib's L-E "soundoff": "Marriage is a federal issue. You can’t be married in one state, move to another state and be considered unmarried. " -- The only federal issue is that it's the federal constitution that guarantees the rights of the state as well as individuals. You cannot get married legally in any state unless that state grants such authority to a pastor or judge.

Karl Douglass opines:"In real estate development, highest and best use is defined as the use of land that is financially feasible, legally possible, physically possible and yields maximum profit. When that definition is applied, the land that fronts Victory Drive and is bordered by Veterans Parkway, 5th Street and 6th Avenue does not pass the maximum profitability test. Traffic counts, proximity to South Commons and costs of site development suggest that the highest and best use of those 8 acres is retail development. The only way to make those blocks available for retail development is to relocate the apartments." -- Love watching liberals eat their own, but Douglasses assessment cannot be rigid. Take the traffic count on 17th St, Cherokee Ave and 18th Ave. The traffic count is terrific for retail if you're looking only at the traffic count versus what explains the traffic count. This area's traffic count is a composite of commuters, school transportation, youth sports and health enthusiasts going through or to Lakebottom Park. Does Douglass think Lakebottom park is being misused as to its "maximum profitability test"?

L-E Commentary: "Leonard Pitts We’ve made progress, only to see it undone" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought Pitts was finally understanding what the old leadership has been doing to Martin Luther King, Jr's vision and legacy.

Council is accepting property from Norfolk-Southern as an old cemetery memorial site.. isn't this the same site that Council spent thousands of tax dollars for a group to conduct underground x-rays to locate any activity of the property ever being used for burials, and there was absolutely nothing there to indicate any such use?

---

What is Council thinking when considering the legalization of "growlers"? "Growlers" are basically 'beer to go' sold in gallon (and maybe 1/2 gallon) milk jugs. Just the beer bottles leftover from weekend "bar crawls" is bad enough , but the median and streets being littered by milk jugs strewn about will be a real eyesore. And what about what choices growler buyers will have to make before leaving if they don't finish drinking their purchase before they are ready to leave? Do they finish it off, anyway, just leave it for some else to drink it, or put the 'open container' in gtheir cars and drive home?

---

Whoa! The following is up for vote by Council: "TROPHIES & OTHER MISCELLANEOUS AWARDS (ANNUAL CONTRACT) — It is requested that council approve the purchase of Trophies and other Miscellaneous Awards from Columbus Fire & Safety doing business as Columbus Trophy & Screen Print for the estimated annual contract value of $110,994. " -- $110, 994 for something that a public pat-on-the-back would have better meaning to the recipients? How about charging Government Center parking garage users a $1.00 per hour to pay for this!
