Now we hear that the Bomber Brothers were indeed milking the welfare system, and bought the pressure cookers with their EBT/food stamp cards. Sure, government programs work fine.

Ever notice that the folks that want to remind Christians of the biblical commands to love and give to your neighbors through government programs are the takers rather than givers?

With the death of Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, Governor Christie has the opportunity to appoint a replacement. While his choice would/could have a slight effect on the balance of DUMBS/REPS in the Senate, he could appoint himself, and please the DUMBERats.

The NJ situation could be tricky. There are conflicting conditions in the NJ laws as to the protocol of Special Elections. New Jersey Democratic Party Chairman John Wisniewski said, "We have to see how the governor sees to enforce the law. If the law is not enforced correctly, we may need to go to the courts.” DOH! How do we trust any politicians, but particularly DUMBERat ones. There are conflicting laws in NJ because that's what the DUMBERats wanted just in case a situation like this ever arose. No matter which law Christie follows, the Wisniewski-led DUMBERats will file suit with a favorable c

judge if Christie's choice is not what Wisniewski wants.

There are alarming news items from the FDA and private sources about the food quality, well, lack of such, on foods imported from China. China just bought one of the oldest and most respected American food icons, Smithfield Hams of Virginia. When looking for a prestige gift for the next holiday season, perhaps you may want to change suppliers to, say, another fine American ham provider, Wayco Hams of Goldsboro, NC.

---

Speaking of foods and China, China has all but stopped buying Georgia peanuts. A lot of Georgia peanuts have been shipped in through Vietnam, which has less import taxes than shipping direct, so China just won't let Georgia peanuts in. Better check to see if your peanut butter has a 'made in China' byline... FOR SURE in the future.

When Hillary said, "What difference does it make?", she was talking about the truth and it not making any difference in the minds of the DUMBERat base.

---

Well, all those expensive AND overly invasive TSA airport scanners are gone. Guess they'll end up in the hands of the IRS so it can find that extra 2¢ conservatives have managed to save.

Now it's being circulated that the word in the White House suggests Holder step down... as he's now "a political maladroit" . Of course, it's also being said it's not all his fault. There is plenty of 'fault' to pass around, but when you get to the core, Holder & Judas 00-bama are equally responsible. When you have influence, whether given or thrust upon you, you either control it or it controls you.

---

Amid all the scandals surrounding him, Judas 00-bama has announced that he wants to focus on mental health problems. Hmmm, guess he has a lot if that close to home... Voter base, advisors, spokespersons, mainstream media...

---

Hey! There may be a future in promoting new tougher background check laws for gun purchases... add on a rider requiring the same mental health background check for voters. There's hardly a judge around that could rule against stripping DUMBERats of voting privileges once the judges have read ObamaCare.

McClatchy headline/story: "First Democratic senate ad runs away from Obama agenda * Mark Pryor of Arkansas on Friday became the first Democratic senator to air a TV ad in advance of next year's elections. * In the statewide ad, Pryor defends his decision to vote against an amendment pushed by the president to expand background checks for firearm sales. * “Nothing in the Obama plan would have prevented tragedies like Newtown, Aurora, Tuscon or even Johanesboro," he says looking into the camera. "I’m Mark Pryor. And I approve this message because no one from New York or Washington tells me what to do. I listen to Arkansas." -- Hey, Arkansans (and anyone who has friends/family in Arkansas, don't believe him! He ain't gonna vote against the DUMBERat mantra when he's in Washington.

McClatchy headline: "Feds could slow down California’s high-speed rail" -- Yeah, right. The Surface Transportation Board has three presidentially appoint members.. like they are going to stop a DUMBERat project in California... dream on. Hmm, but they might in GA since GA is Republican . Maybe we should all write the STB and stop any more waste of tax dollars on a high speed rail to Atlanta airport. To begin with, just Federal regulations covering luggage and passenger inspections, and the necessity to get to the depot so far ahead of time to do this, GROOM Transport or our personal transportation will get us to Atlanta easier and in less overall time.

L-E headline: "Performance, not seniority, top criterion for teacher layoffs in Muscogee County" -- Yeah, right... let's see upsetting the tenure clause in action.

Obviously a teacher (or teacher's spouse) worried-about-being-laid-off's "L-E "soundoff": "Teachers are paid to teach, not to make you learn. If half the students graduated, then the teacher did his/her part to teach. The other half just did not want to learn. " -- No, a teacher is paid to educate. That involves getting the students involved, engaged, not just orating or writing material on the board. This teacher could be replaced by a tape recorder.

---

Very low-info voter's L-E "soundoff": " The problem with a “Berlin Wall” on the Mexican Border would be the cost. Washington and state politicians would give the work to no-bid contractors. The final cost would be 10 times the original estimate. " -- Aside from pulling whatever figure's convenient at the time, this low-info voter would be blown away to know that even if the fence did cost 10X more, the cost would pale compared to annual expenditures now incurred for government programs supporting illegal aliens.

---

From the L-E's "Today in History": "In 1998, a federal judge sentenced Terry Nichols to life in prison for his role in the Oklahoma City bombing. " -- Now, looking back 15 years, tell us how Terry Nichols being alive has improved or enriched our lives, or soothed the losses so many Oklahoma City families still endure. Hang the guys publicly!

L-E story: " CINCINNATI — A Catholic school teacher who was fired after she became pregnant through artificial insemination (and unmarried, as well) was awarded more than $170,000 Monday after winning her anti-discrimination lawsuit against an Ohio archdiocese. * The jury said the archdiocese should pay a total of $71,000 for back pay and compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages. Dias had sued the archdiocese and two of its schools; the jury didn’t find the schools liable for damages. * Steven Goodin, the attorney for the archdiocese and the schools, had argued Dias was fired for violating her contract, which he said required her to comply with the philosophies and teachings of the Catholic church. The church considers artificial insemination immoral and a violation of church doctrine" -- The part about artificial insemination was sketchy grounds for the church to stand against, but for an unmarried woman working under contract for the Catholic church should not be rewarded for engaging in such an irresponsible act of parenthood. Hope the church appeals.

L-E's "Late laughs": "The winner of the spelling bee gets $30,000 in cash. I can’t imagine what I’d have spent that kind of money on when I was 14. — Craig Ferguson" -- Well, Craig, when you were 14, $30K was a lot of money. The kid won't have to imagine spending $30K very long.

L-E story: "ATLANTA — Authorities say a man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for distributing child pornography over the Internet. * (U.S. Attorney spokesman Bob) Page says an undercover agent offered to trade child pornography images with Cashwell online. Page says Cashwell sent the agent five explicit videos — including one of a man raping a girl who was about 6 years old. * Page says Cashwell is ordered to serve a lifetime of supervised release after his sentence. " -- We all know how non- effective government monitoring is unless you are a conservative being targeted by the IRS. The Boston Bombers were monitored... until government lost interest. Speaking of interest, why not just migrate Cashwell into the shower room wearing a "child abuser" t-shirt. The problem of a lifetime of tax dollars being wasted on scum would be saved.
