Deja vu... 50 years ago yesterday, MLK,Jr gave one of the most cited speeches in American history. At that time, President Kennedy, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover had Dr. King under constant and illegal surveillance. Hmmm, sounds a lot like nothing has changed within the Democratic Party in the last 50 years.

Online story: "A massive rocket carrying a spy satellite for the U.S. government launched at 11:03 a.m. from the central California coast Wednesday, according to the Associated Press." -- Hmmm, let's get this straight ... government, under Judas 00-bama, can find a way to launch spy satellites for NSA, but cut out space launches for NASA because they cost too much.

From the "huh?" department - "Father Jonathan Morris appeared on The O'Reilly Factor to discuss the separation of church and state issue surrounding this push. He said the Catholic Church is actively engaging in immigration reform because as it stands now, the system is unjust. “We, as a country, have some responsibility,” he said, to take care of the people who have crossed our borders illegally." -- Talk about a real need to Constitutionally separate Father Morris from the state! Catholics, truly American citizen Catholics better cut this off at the bud. Sounds like the Catholic politicos are going to be like the union bosses.. do and say politically what it feels puts it in favoritism of liberals, regardless of how the membership thinks.

Online story: "Russell Ireland, owner of Big I's in Oxford, told Air Force veteran James Glaser and his dog, Jack, to leave the diner Saturday. Ireland said at the time that he didn't really believe Jack was a service dog because Glaser allowed people to pet and feed it, unlike the service dogs he has seen with other customers." -- I bet this guy probably would be pleased to serve coffee to the 2 Bomber Brothers. Write his place off if you're headed that way. Perhaps, even, put some doggie poop in a paper bag, put it on the restaurant threshold, light it, then step back and watch the fun.

Online headline/story: "Nationwide Fast-Food Strikes Set For Thursday * It's expected be the largest nationwide strike by fast-food workers, according to organizers. The biggest effort so far was over the summer when about 2,200 of the nation's millions of fast-food workers staged a one-day strike in seven cities. * Thursday's planned walkouts follow a series of strikes that began last November in New York City, then spread to cities including Chicago, Detroit and Seattle. Workers say they want $15 an hour, which would be about $31,000 a year for full-time employees. That's more than double the federal minimum wage," -- "Better than double the federal minimum wage"? It's even better that the starting salary for teachers in 8 states. Just think how much money we could save by closing most high schools and colleges, and telling displaced teachers they can get a job next to former students (who saw no value of learning from their teachers) for more money. Better yet, wait until parents learn they don't have to send their kids to college at all!

---

Comment for above story: What the workers don't know is that "IF" they got such a raise, their hours would be cut in half, engineers would create robots that can do their jobs for less, so they'd have either no job or a job that doesn't have any benefits... or both.

Online headline/story: "Newspaper claims Weiner sunk to embarrassing low * The embattled mayoral candidate, who has been stuck in a distant fourth place following revelations he continued to sext after he resigned from Congress in 2011, is reportedly employing actors from Crowds on Demand to pose as normal New Yorkers." -- Hmm, so the New York Post thinks that having shills in the crowd is lower than sexting ;
'weiner pics (and pecs)" to other people's daughters? Things are worse in NYC than we thought.

Online story: "NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 20-year-old daughter of country star Alan Jackson has been charged with assault, underage drinking and resisting arrest. She is accused of striking a police officer and then invoking her father's name during a traffic stop in Nashville. * The affidavit says Jackson resisted when officers went to handcuff her and she later told police she had been drinking. As she was being booked into the jail, she told the officer that her father "would do anything I wanted him to do." WSMV-TV reports she was released early Wednesday." -- "would do anything I wanted him to do"? The story didn't say, but let's hope Alan Jackson did the RIGHT thing... let her stew in jail overnight.

Online story: "A former Montana high school teacher convicted of raping a 14-year-old female student who later committed suicide will face only 30 days of jail time.  * Stacey Dean Rambold, 54, had at least three sexual encounters with student Cherice Morales in 2008. In 2010, the student committed suicide a few weeks before her 17th birthday, The Billings Gazette reported. * Yellowstone County Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced Rambold to 15 years prison, with all but only 31 days suspended for sexual intercourse without consent. The judge then gave Rambold credit for one day served, bringing the offender's total jail time to just 30 days. * The judge said victim Morales was "as much in control of the situation" as Rambold" -- "The judge said victim Morales was "as much in control of the situation" as Rambold"? Sentences, plus statements like this are why judges should be vetted before every election! True justice would be for the girls father to have the teacher's and judge's heads stuffed and mounted in the father's 'man cave'.

Last month's report of my Atlanta area truck traffic economic indicator was a false positive. Yesterday's truck traffic was rather sparse for a business day.

Online headline: "Obama says more work needed to achieve ideals from King's 'Dream' speech" -- I agree, but to get that, we need LESS Jackson, LESS Sharpton, and LESS Judas 00-bama.

Online story: "Shellie Zimmerman, the wife of George Zimmerman, pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of perjury. * She will be placed on probation for one year, is required to perform 100 hours of community service, and must pay court costs. She also must file a letter of apology within 30 days to Judge Kenneth Lester, who presided over her husband's case at the time the perjury was committed. * Prosecutors said Shellie Zimmerman lied when she told Lester during an April 2012 bond hearing for her husband that the family was indigent. In fact, they argue, George Zimmerman actually had about $135,000 at the time." -- This is a vengeful travesty! The Zimmerman's were being politically persecuted by the state of Florida at the time, and that looks like enough "mitigating circumstances" for Florida's governor to step in and dismiss and charges (and the appointed special prosecutors and this judge)).

Online story: "Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was sentenced to death Wednesday for killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in a 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Tex., the worst mass murder at a military installation in U.S. history. * No active-duty service member has been executed since 1961, and legal experts said it will probably be many years, if ever, before the sentence will be carried out." -- " it will probably be many years, if ever, before the sentence will be carried out"? This would be a greater travesty of justice than the crime committed! Contact your Congresspeople and ask, no, DEMAND, that a member of each of the 13 people he killed be given a spot in a firing squad and set that up for today!

---

McClatchy headline/story: "Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano bids farewell * Napolitano presided over a near doubling of border patrol agents and a drop in illegal border crossings to the lowest level in decades." -- Surely she not claiming to have caused the drop in illegal aliens crossing the border at will... that was because of her boss's lousy economy didn't provide jobs here that made it worthwhile for illegal aliens to bother! Let's focus on her not handling the Boston Marathon bombing, and driving up the cost of ammunition to civilians and police departments country-wide.

L-E story: " a decade ago only about 4 out of 10 American adults had access to the fastest broadband Internet, and less than 7 percent possessed a smartphone. Flash forward to today, he (AT&T Chief Strategy Officer John Stankey)  said, and most people surf the web fairly seamlessly, with more than 52 percent of people carrying around a smartphone, a number growing each and every day." -- What's scary is how many of those are ObamaPhones.

Why are our military academies still open? The graduates have to serve under an anti-American president who is a threat to the world as we know it.

---

One of the questions asked (though not answered well) in the L-E today was "Which colleges' graduates earn the highest salaries?"  If there is anything useful here, it should be compiled as a list of appropriate jobs that deserve to be considered for government backed student loans.

In an attempt to make a name for herself, Miley Cyrus, instead, has made a shame for herself. She... we... were a lot better off when she was known as Hannah Montana.

Online headline/story: " California is considering allowing non-citizens to serve on juries, a local California public radio station reports. * Under AB1401, non-citizen legal permanent residents would be allowed to serve on juries. Federal law allows such residents – sometimes called 'Green Card Holders' – to stay in the country as long as they like * Some are in the process of applying for citizenship. Others choose to remain citizens of other countries. * Democratic Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski, one of the California bill’s sponsors, told the local station that this should happen because non-citizens live among Americans as peers. * The jury system is based on our peers judging us,” Bob Wieckowski said. “It's only fair, because so many people living in California are legal permanent residents.” * The bill, which faced bipartisan opposition from most Republicans and some Democrats, passed both the state Assembly and Senate and is sitting on Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk awaiting a signature. * This news comes as a similar bill, one that would allow non-citizens to work as paid poll workers at election sites throughout California so they can be Spanish-language translators, also awaits its fate on Brown’s desk." -- "it's only fair, because so many people living in California are legal permanent residents"? I have but one pertinent question to ask... when is that "big one" eartquake going to send California into the Pacific?

You know, even Chris Matthews is not buying Judas 00-bama's cry out about all the "phony scandals" that are crippling his ability. I guess Chris finally realized the the "tingle" he felt 'running up his leg", was actually Judas 00-bama's "whiz" running DOWN his leg.

Judas 00-bama has hit the bottom of the barrel in popularity. Obamarat sycophant, Alan Colmes just expressed his disappointment because he had voted for the "anti-war" candidate.

Online headline: "Syria Chemical Weapons UN: Ban Ki-moon Pleads For More Time To Conduct Probe " -- Hmmm, I guess when we see "UN action", we're dyslexic... it really reads "un-action".

---

We should take the Mideast mess into our own hands. Every one who didn't vote for Judas 00-bama chip in, we hire Orkin to "tent" the entire area and set off sarin gas Roach bombs to fumigate the entire area.

---

Or... To solve mainstream media's quandry, maybe we should provide chemical weapons to both sides in terrorist countries, then surround their borders so no one gets out.

It's comical to watch and hear Jay Carney 'parrot' Judas 00- bama's flip-flops. What's going to happen when 00-bama changes his mind in the middle of a Carney 'spin'?

From the "it's not one world" department - Online headline/story: "Police in China have offered a reward for information leading to the arrest of a woman suspected of gouging out a six-year-old boy's eyes. * "The boy was lured by an unknown woman on Saturday evening into a field, where she gouged out his eyes," state news agency Xinhua reported." -- I think I'm going to consider cutting off my internet and TV. I'm sure "they" are not the reason for such butchery, but before internet & TV, we just didn't have the sickness like this jammed into our faces.

From the "suspicions confirmed" department - L-E story: "USA Today has published a feature listing “12 of the greatest man-made adventures on the planet,” and listed Columbus’ own urban whitewater course as the world’s No. 1 man-made whitewater attraction. * The article, written by Brian Berkovitz of  TheActiveTimes.   com   and published on USA Today’s website, lists a dozen, “awe-inspiring (and safe) wildlife encounters, outdoor thrills brought indoors and amazing ‘natural’ features that were deftly built with human hands.” -- Well, this confirms it.. this was not a restoration project that the public was duped into financing.. The Committee to PAVE the Chattahoochee should be sued to pay all the money back that came from non-private sources, and IRS should disallow any private money from being considered a tax deductible donation.

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — Scientists have found a compelling clue in the quest to learn what causes age-related memory problems, and to one day be able to tell if those misplaced car keys are just a senior moment or an early warning of something worse.

L-E headline: "Obama: Syrian gov’t carried out chemical attack " -- Hmmm, now if he could just remember wher he drew that line in the sand.

Columbus L-E editorial comment about military troop reduction to the lowest level since 1939: One other comment from the general deserves special attention: Americans, he said, get “the Army you’re willing to pay for.”  *  We want to hear from you! " -- The American taxpayers pay plenty for our military but the taxpayers don't have enough of us left to out vote the voter element that influences Judas 00-bama and his Obamarats to spend the money on national entitlements rather than on national defense.
