Eric Holder is the poster child of why we should look into having a
director for the Attorney General's office that is a Christian businessperson of
proven capability . It's more than apparent that there is no moral compass in
the departmental structure as now executed.

Online headline: "Marijuana Legalization: Colo. Gov. Hickenlooper Signs
First Bills In History To Establish A Legal, Regulated Pot Market For Adults: --
It's amazing... If the Governor of Colorado signed a state law to separate
Colorado from federal laws controlling heroin, or even alcohol, Judas 00-bama
would have the DOJ all over it.
---
Online story: "Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) announced early Wednesday
that she will not seek a fifth term in office." -- I am not unhappy... not
exactly elated, either, but when politicos seek more personal attention to
themselves via "moral causes campaigns", their effectiveness not only wanes, but
becomes counterproductive.
---
Why is Fox giving Karl Rove the time of day, much less the spotlight? He
led a poorly communicated and worse executed campaign in 2012, and bringing him
back in the forefront just delays new conservative leadership development.
---
The RNC chair was on Fox saying the GOP needs to maintain the House
Majority, while winning the Senate Majority position. Well, if the current
Republicans in Congress would concentrate on "what really matters" and stopped
trying to appease liberals, the conservative voters would be out in droves in
support.

My family spent this Memorial Day Weekend in Florida, but today I rode down
1st Ave looking for the launch site to see where the rafts took off. Not finding
any signs directing traffic to such an area, I contacted a reliable media source
(hopefully, I haven't dragged him into an IRS audit for having e-mail contact
with a conservative blogger), and asked him. He wasn't exactly sure of the
address, but knew it was in Phenix City.... After all this time and hoopla, the
Columbus launch site was not ready.
Went by that location later, and it doesn't look like it's going to be ready anytime soon, either. Phenix City put out less than 1% of the development cost, and is enjoying all of the rewards so far. Columbus Council and Columbus taxpayers should get answers from UPtown as to how and why?

After watching some of the Whitewater video clips showing "cut bait", and
reading about CFD personnel being on duty along the river, is Phenix City doing
the same on its side of the river. Does Phenix City expect Columbus to provide
all the rescue services for something it claims as its own asset?
---
With all the lead time, not having either the 14th Street Bridge nor the
Georgia side raft launch sites ready was a black eye for all the hoopla and
expectations projected for the opening weekend of "Whitewater".

I'm skeptical that the Chinese stole any of our military secrets by hacking
into out systems. Bill Clinton probably provided passwords when he gave/sold
info for his campaign donations.
---
I don't understand why highly classified documents/secrets can be hacked
when somewhat simple protocols can be implemented for hacker protection. I keep
my personal documents/pictures on external hard drives, and when I want to share
them, copy the specific files to my C-drive, disconnect my external hard drive,
then send the file. As soon as it's sent, then I delete the file from the
C-drive. I'm sure it's not fool-proof, but it does eliminate disasters .

Eric Holder must have been in agony waiting for Hank "won't the island tip
over" Johnson to finish talking about whatever he was talking about.

Scandal #4? Kathryn Sebelius, hand picked Health Tsar may have her hands
full with donation problems. Sebelius admitted that she solicited financial
donations from H&R Block Inc., and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. She
wants the money to go to Enroll America, a private nonprofit group that is
gearing up to promote the Affordable Care Act and help people enroll in the new
insurance exchanges. And yes, some of the staffers in Enroll America worked for
President Barack Obama's campaign.
---
Looks like ObamaCare may drive union membership down. Unintended
consequence? Maybe....maybe not.
---
We also learned today that two judges refused to issue a warrant for James
Rosen's emails. Holder had to find a third judge to finally get a warrant signed
. There goes any inkling of Holder not being highly involved, and intense in
going after Rosen.
---
Word was out today that IRS personnel were directed last Thursday not to
wipe/shred any personal digital files or hard drives. Oh, I guess it would be OK
to exchange notebooks and wipe/shred each others IF there were any files or hard
drives that weren't done weeks ago.

Judas 00-bama is the only man I've ever seen who throws a football and
baseball the same way he shoots a free throw.
---
How ironic that is his quest to bring down a Fox news reporter, that quest
may bring down Eric Holder and others.
---
Since George Zimmerman has been labeled "white" even though only one
parent, and in this case Zimmerman's father, is white and his mother is
Hispanic, are we to assume that which parent is the father determines a baby's
race? What do women's groups think about this? Does this apply to college
football allegiances? If the father is for Auburn and the mother is for Georgia,
does in mean the children will be Auburn fans? How about in politics...
will both children of James Carville and Mary Matalin be DUMBERats?
---
Wellstone & Piedmont Hospitals may be on to something to curb rising
costs... Devising their own insurance product which will create a direct
relationship between hospitals and patients. I like that thinking, and hope it
will be successful.

Remember when 10% was the starting point when figuring what size tip uh you
considered for basic, mundane wait-service? Now that's pretty much the taxes you
pay on what you ate regardless of the service you got.

L-E headline/story: "1 of 5 charged in minister's 2011 Broadway
homicide will testify for prosecution * Fatal shooting was revenge killing
targeting wrong man, authorities say * Thomas, Ingram and Forte each is charged
also with being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm." -- Show me one
new law suggestion that would have changed these three convicted felons from
getting their hands on a gun illegally? There are none, BUT if judges and
juries cracked down on possessing, much less using a gun, by a convicted felon,
there would be less of this happening on our streets.

McClatchy headline/story: "Supreme Court widens opportunity for claims of
ineffective counsel * A badly damaged Texas man who was sentenced to death for
his part in a San Antonio-area gang rape and murder will get a second chance at
mercy, under a divided Supreme Court ruling Tuesday. * Born to an alcoholic
mother and allegedly abused as a child, Carlos Trevino won another opportunity
to raise a claim that his first trial attorneys failed him, in part, because
they didn’t illuminate his upbringing." -- A year or so ago, we had a local case
get a turn around by Georgia's Supreme Court based on 'ineffective counsel', and
I predicted such a Pandora's Box of additional rulings. It's almost a revolving
door concept for court appointed attorneys to keep other attorneys working. If
you are a defense attorney with a bad case, just intentionally don't do your
100% best, and you get paid by the state, and another court appointed attorney
gets the chance to do the same thing when it's returned to the court for
'ineffective counsel'. Shoot, a lawyer may get lucky and get reappointed to the
same case, and he'll already have his case work he can recharge the courts
for.
---
L-E headline: "Whitewater sweeps
customers into downtown shops * Several restaurants saw record-breaking crowds" --
Hmmm, wonder if Mayor Obamalinson will see the profit potential of having Metra
write parking tickets for kayakers on weekends so the city of Columbus can get a
revenue stream?

A "what's your point"
low-info voter;s L-E "soundoff": "In 2012,
handguns killed 48 people in Japan, 8 in Great Britain, 34 in Switzerland, 52 in
Canada, 58 in Israel, 21 in Sweden, 42 in West Germany, 10,728 in the United
States. " -- Aside from the inaccuracy of the numbers, does this person
plan on moving to one of those countries? I might provide the one-way bus ticket
there. The writer might rethink Great Britain, though, as it has a category for
death by hand-held crossbows as well.

Gun facts from a reliable
source: " But the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate - that prize
belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with
a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people
• Puerto Rico tops the world's table for firearms murders as a percentage of all homicides - 94.8%. It's followed by Sierra Leone in Africa and Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean"

So the 13th Street Bridge
will be the scene of a movie stunt that includes a car flying off the bridge
into the Chattahoochee. Is there a pool yet on whether or not the car will make
it through 'cut bait'?

L-E headline/story:
"Russia criticizes Europe’s move to arm Syrian
rebels * The European Union decision, coupled
with a Russia’s renewed pledge to supply Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime
with advanced missiles, could transform an already brutal civil war into an
East-West proxy fight. " -- As Paul Harvey would say, "and that's the rest of
the story".
---
L-E headline: "Judge limits texts, photos in Trayvon Martin
case" -- Well, as Ronald Reagan would say when pointing out mainstream
media bias/half-truths, "There you go again." The 'limit" is to opening
statements, but it also limits what the prosecution might try to slip in with
out documentation at that time.
