The only excuse the Judas 00-bama administration hasn't used to explain why the NSA was snooping into everyone's phones and emails is "We had to, if we only snooped terrorists, we would be accused of 'profiling'."

How can the US Supreme Court strike down the Arizona citizenship photo ID law required for voting? Next the ACLU will file suit to keep drivers from having to show photo ID to the State Patrol. While they're at it, why doesn't the Supreme Court just ban photo IDs for passports & Visas as well?

---

What Arizona should do now (and all other states as well) is to require federal proof of citizenship PHOTO ID, as well as proof of state/district/county/precinct residency.

Have you ever wondered whether any one on any school board, ours included, has correlated the obesity problem being a combination of children on the year round free meal programs also eating meals at home plus combined with the lack of exercise/recess time while at school?

Online story: "Though Tony Zerilli (now 85) was in prison at the time of Hoffa's disappearance in 1975, he believes that Hoffa's body was buried at the vacant field in Oakland Township. Land near the plot investigators are searching was once owned by another reputed Mob heavyweight, Jack Tocco. Zerilli said the body is buried beneath two cement slabs in the vacant field, where a barn once stood. Agents used an excavator to clear away debris before attacking the area with shovels on Monday." --

Big Dig 2..... At this point, why is anyone even concerned about the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa's body? What we have here is another Detroit mafia guy getting the FBI to clean up someone else's property.

---

AG Eric Holder says he had no idea of how many reporters he signed for warrants to pry into their communications. Yeah... right. When someone tells me something like that, I know they know exactly how many they did, but are just embarressed to tell anyone that .

---

Random question: Why is mainstream media surprised that ours and other countries' governments get caught spying on other countries' governments?

---

Online story: "Ah yes, the liberal media. Remember all the shootings and the Boston bombings and how the liberal media just ached for the culprits to be “right wing extremists” or “Tea Party” people? Turns out the suspects were liberals and Muslims. Well now CBS News comes out and is equating the Islamists who were in the running for the Iranian presidency to the Tea Party. * London correspondent Elizabeth Palmer tried to point out that “it was as if” all of the “conservative” candidates in Iran “came from the Tea Party.” -- Sarah Palin summed up the situation as succinctly as anyone could, "Elizabeth, you just put the BS in CBS!”

---

You know, when it comes to news, I'm not so concerned about the bias or even whether it's "fair & balanced" as I am about it being accurate and timely.

---

Reckon the language barrier caused a communication gaffe between Judas 00-bama and Putin? Putin wanted to discuss gulf issues, so Judas 00-bama brought his golf clubs.

---

I wonder if Judas 00-bama's excessive spending patterns for family vacations and such were reported in the number of prosthetic units these amounts could purchase for wounded soldiers versus dollars then would 00-bama and the mainstream get a wake-up call?

---

One reporter on duty covering Judas 00-bama said he watched the PGA tournament from Ireland this past weekend. It was the USGA Open. Now we know how inaccurate stories get into the news flow.

---

L-E story: "When the center does open, it may cost a bit than at the city's four other public pools, that is if Columbus Council approves a proposed fee schedule Tuesday. * According to figures given to councilors on Friday, fees for the new center would be:For age 11 and under, $2; age 12-17, $3, adults 18-54, $5; age 55 and over, $3. Those fees are for Muscogee County residents. Non-resident fees are double those." -- Hmmm, at first I was 'excited' that the City was being responsible to the citizens of Columbus/Muscogee County, but then... 'the rest of the story'.


Then the rates for 'annual passes' were published:

Single resident, $200; non-resident, $250

Senior resident, $180; non-resident, $225

Family resident, $300, non-resident, $350


Why aren't 'annual passes' doubled for non-residents?

---

Oh, for the MCSD Board: How about a report on how many students are in our school district from other counties or another state, and how rigorous have you been in denoting such and collecting the out-of-county, out-of-state fees? A nice total of such would be nice as well.

---

WTVM9 news headline: "GM recalls another 230,000 SUVs" -- How did that ditty go.. "Look for the union label"?

---

Since Rowhani is endorsed by Khomeini, any speculation that Rowhani is a reformist or moderate by any standard is pretty much BS.

---

You just know there's a ton of waste in the Social Security disability payments aspect from the number of lawyers advertising to help you get your fair entitlement share.

---

Nanny York City Mayor Bloom-ing-idiot-berg has done it again . Now NYC citizens have to separate their food scraps from the rest of their garbage so the City can produce bio-diesel fuel. What the Mayor should be separating is his BS from speeches.

---

Online headline: "Edward Snowden Criticizes Media's Coverage Of Him" -- Hey, if he was gonna "kiss & tell & run", what did he expect?

---

Online headline: "U.S. Surveillance: China Asks Washington To Explain Monitoring Programmes" -- Hmm, yeah, like China doesn't already know...

---

WRBL3 news story: "Proposed Muscogee County teacher layoffs reduced to nine" -- You know, when 90 jobs were on the cutting block, and the MCSD said it was going to cut bad performing teachers FIRST... I got excited. That ain't gonna happen now, and our children and our City's FUTURE will pay the price.

L-E headline: "G8 exposes rift among world leaders on Syria " -- We must have 8 of the stupidest world leaders and even stupider media-types than we thought. I think most of us figured out there was a 'rift' long ago on our own.

---

L-E story: "ATLANTA — Fewer U.S. adults are smoking, a new government report says. * Last year, about 18 percent of adults participating in a national health survey described themselves as current smokers." -- Oh, crap... guess this means we non-smokers will get taxed more to make up for the loss of cigarette taxes which were going to pay for smokers' and children's health services.

---

L-E headline/story: "Cyclists raise funds, awareness for Africa * The Ride:Well Tour is an effort to raise funds and awareness to help people in Africa who are struggling with drought and an HIV/ AIDS crisis" -- You know, I do think most everyone is aware of the HIV/AIDS work, and drought conditions, and even poverty (financial and moral) in Africa, so why don't the riders ride for bringing attention to the slave traffic in Africa that is still rampant inn this century?

---

Ask your MCSD Board member how the free web-book program for certain schools is working out (increases in graduation rates, etc), and why aren't all public high schools included? You may want to ask about the losses of such, and the replacement costs for an ongoing program.

---

Just looking at the UGA and noted that of the 12 games scheduled, only 2 have set times that fans can try to plan around (day & night kickoffs are quite different for traveling or taking a child); same for Alabama and GA Tech; but Auburn.. Auburn has no set times yet for any of it's games.
