This is the 60th Anniversary of the Corvette. It's the longest running model ever produced. The ’63 fuel-injected split-window coupe is considered by many to be the best Corvette ever made.



In fact, Edmunds.com named it the best ever earlier this year. In a way, that's sad... you know, to produce the best model ever 50 years ago, and not make an improved model since.

L-E story: "Once the nation’s top running back prospect, (Isaiah) Crowell was arrested at a vehicle checkpoint on the Georgia campus last June. He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon on school property. Prosecutors dismissed the charges on April 24, saying they couldn’t prove a link to Crowell and the 9 millimeter Luger pistol with an altered serial number found under the driver’s seat." -- And we wonder how thugs get drafted. Everyone in the car should have been arrested and convicted for possession of an illegal and illegally altered gun.

Online story: "GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — A defense lawyer who gained rare access to an ultra-secret section of the Guantanamo Bay prison said Sunday that the camp does not meet international standards under the Geneva Conventions * James Connell, a lawyer for one of the five Guantanamo prisoners charged in the Sept. 11 terror attack, plans to file a motion with the judge presiding over the tribunal challenging the conditions in the section known as Camp 7." -- Wait a minute.. the Geneva Convention was about countries having a standard each would abide by in containing prisoners of war captured by warring counties. These terrorists are not associated with their countries as soldiers. All Geneva Convention agreements are off the table. If the s-o-b lawyer wants to complain, why doesn't he represent the families of American soldiers who were publicly tortured, mutilated or beheaded? You know he's not because filing a suit in one of those countries would get him tortured, mutilated or beheaded. He's not just an s-o-b, h's a COWARDLY S-O-B!

Online story: "The mother of Trayvon Martin spoke out Sunday against the stop-and-frisk police practice in New York City, saying neither police nor civilians have the right to stop someone because of their race." -- Good grief! What in hell does she know about what's going on in NYC; she has no idea what was going on with her son... wait a minute... bas example...she actually did know what was going on with Trayvon ... that's why she kicked him out of her house and sent him to his father who was living at his girlfriend's house.

Online headline: "Lady Gaga Calls Out Perez Hilton On Twitter, Accuses Him Of Stalking" -- Good grief... Can anyone say "Publicity stunt!"? What in the world would Perez Hilton do if he caught any woman alone, much less Gaga, who is certainly no "Lady"?

---

Online headline: "Scott Brown Exploring 2016 Presidential Run " -- Good grief! This must be going to be the weirdest Monday Breakfast Club ever. Scott Brown had a shorter Senate term than Judas 00-bama, and now he thinks he's qualified as well? The man is no more a Republican than John McCain. He got elected to replace Ted Kennedy in a 2010 special election during the mid-term election year when America was back-lashing out at Obamarat rule, but couldn't hold on to the seat against a Elizabeth Warren.

HuffPost was pounding the table about the movie about the White House servant being the #1 movie of the weekend. It garnered $25 Million in ticket sales (about 250,000 +/- viewers). Not exactly a summer box office hit when you think about Iron Man 3 ($174M), Man of Steel ($116M), Monsters University ($82M), or The Hangover Part III ($41M). In fact, there have been 32 other movies this summer with better opening weekends. Of course, it might have had a better weekend had not Jane Fonda been in it.

Of course, it did beat Kick-Ass 2 if that's a consolation.

one of those pics worth 1000 x 1000 words:

From the "huh?" department - Online story: "Students for Life of America (SFLA) was left out in the cold after the local YMCA was bullied by pro-abortion activists to evict SFLA students from their facilities. SFLA had worked out an arrangement with the associate branch director of the Town Lake branch of the Austin, TX YMCA to use their showers for the week of the ‘Students #Stand4Life Bus Tour.’ Previously, YMCA management had indicated everything was working out great, but certain orange-shirted members of the club said that it was “too political” to have pro-lifers in the showers — and pressured management to give the students the boot." -- Huh? Does anyone who works at the Austin YMCA know what "Y.M.C.A." is an acronym for... Young Men's Christian Association.

Online headline/story: "Michelle Obama’s School Lunch Plan Dropped; Students Refuse To Eat * Guess what? The kids absolutely hate her plan! A number of school districts across the country have already begun to drop the plan. Most of the school systems say the same thing: that their kids do not like the lunches and that many of them are going hungry. There were a number of foods that the students just simply would not purchase, plus it has been a bit of a nightmare for the schools to implement the plan. Not to mention expensive. In many districts, they even lost money." -- First, name me one school lunch program that doesn't lose money... it's a government program and that sums that subject up... but I'm giving odds that Michelle orders Judas 00-bama to issue an executive order to school children to eat her food or else. Of course, this may explain why our local schools are giving away "free breakfast and lunch".

I guess this is why Obamarats are always injecting that words mean what you define them as:



---

Online story: "During his press conference today, President Obama was asked by Fox News Channel’s Ed Henry about ObamaCare. * Here is Ed Henry’s very sensible question: “October 1st, you’re going to implement your signature health care law. You recently decided on your own to delay a key part of that. And I wonder, if you pick and choose what parts of the law to implement, couldn’t your successor down the road pick and choose whether they’ll implement your law and keep it in place?” * The President answered the question by saying that it’s the Republicans’ fault that he had to violate the Constitution." -- Will someone make sure Judas 00-bama is locked in an alcohol/marijuana free room with a recording of this the week after he leaves office, and be made to stay in there until he makes a reasonable statement as to what he was thinking?

---

Online story: "MSNBC host Ed Schultz unleashed Saturday on Christians who oppose President Obama’s landmark healthcare law, branding them as “phony Christians” and saying the repeal of the law would certainly result in the death of innocent children." -- Forget the "if you run a Hillary mini-series we're not going to show up for your debate" excuse, Ed Schultz should be the poster-child used in every Republican ad.

---

There have been moments of late when I saw glimpses of change in Bob Beckel. Times when he challenged the inflexible Obamarat's mantra, but to hear him say that America "should put 9-11-01 behind us and move on" just sealed his legacy as a jackass.

From the "I wish I had said that" department - A well-informed voter's L-E "soundoff": "If Roy Bourgeois announced he was going to pass gas at the Fort Benning stone gate to protest WHINSEC, the Ledger-Enquirer would consider it newsworthy." -- enough said.

---

A low-info voter's L-E "soundoff": " My IRA is almost back to where it was in 2007 before the Wall Street bank mortgage fraud crisis. That’s six years and $50,000 I’ll never see again. Thanks, Republicans. " -- Hmmm, I think, no, I KNOW Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were Democrats....

---

Another extra low-info voter's L-E "soundoff": " If you’re not planning to do anything illegal, then why would you worry about the government or anybody else knowing where you are? " -- Simply because I am an American citizen who believes the U.S Constitution is sacred.

---

For the school naming committee: We already have a creek, a park, and a interstate highway named Lindsey... use someone else's name. Better yet, use a landmark name so we'll know where to go to find it if we need to do so.

---

L-E's "Thought for Today, “Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers.” — Janis Joplin, American rock singer (1943-1970). " -- Oooooooooh. Talk about nailing Obamarats in general....

---

Random thought: What do these groups, Teamsters and Democrats, have in common? well, for the 66 years I've been alive, I cannot remember one thing either has done that has benefited the American worker.

---

Hey, Judas.... is it a "coup" yet... that Egyptian governmental transition thingy?

---

L-E headline: "Lawmakers split on cutting aid to Egypt" -- "Split"? How about a pretty much Obamarat conclusion that it doesn't define what's happened in Egypt as "a coup d'etat"!

---

From L-E story: "For years, Texas was among a handful of states that required every resident seeking help with grocery bills to first be fingerprinted, an exercise typically associated with criminals. " -- Hmmm " ... "fingerprints"... "associated with criminals"... hmmm, is that what the police department thought when I was fingerprinted to legally get my handgun carry permit? Is that what banks think when I cash a check at a teller's window who doesn't know me personally? Is that what the officer at the Drivers' License Bureau thought when I applied/renewed my driver's license? Is that what the military thinks when it fingerprints soldiers for their ID's. Liberals are such bigoted (_*_)s.

---

L-E headline: "Funeral held for former Carter ally Bert Lance " -- Hmmm, this is his second one.. right?

---

L-E story: "TANNER, Ala. — A northern Alabama community college (Calhoun Community College) plans to transition from traditional textbooks and offer students more digitally-based education opportunities." -- Finally, a college that understands that every student has a computer/electronic device to store books on, so why put it off any longer. Not only will students/parents benefit financially, student health from lugging those tomes will improve, and landfills will get relief from professors' books that go obsolete after one semester.
