Online headline: "Cleveland Kidnapper Found Hanging In Prison Cell" -- Did not touch on this yesterday as I didn't want to dilute the focus on the (_*_) judge in Montana who gave the teacher who raped a 14 year old (now dead by suicide) student a 30 day sentence. That said, now we can focus on the Cleveland DA/Court system that took the death sentence off the table on the (_*_) guy who ruined 3 women's and their families' childhoods. Thank goodness the (_*_) kidnapper turned out to be "honorable", if that's possible for an (_*_), and did what the court should have ordered.

Online story: "BOSTON — A family asked Massachusetts' highest court Wednesday to ban the daily practice of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools, arguing that the words "under God" in the pledge discriminate against atheists." -- From a nation, from probably the bee hive location of a nation formed to escape the oppression of government, one couple can bring a suit to undermine the one aspect that has held America together for 4 centuries. If they don't believe in God, then just skip saying it, but be very thankful they aren't in a Muslim country denying Allah exists.

If civil rights are the main concern of the ACLU, why doesn't it have worldwide offices? Also, why isn't the NAACP headquartered in Rwanda, or the N.O.W. headquartered in Iran? Sure seems suspect that organizations concerned about rights and safety seem to prefer the protection of the US Constitution they want to dismantle.

Good news! My nephew is back from Mali, and the timing couldn't be better. Let's pray more often and harder for our soldiers Judas 00-bama is about to expose to mid-eastern terrorist /jihadists.

Looks like Bill Clinton's latest lie is, "Chelsea, I didn't have dinner with that steak, Filet Mignon-sky"

It was sorta ironic that McCain was caught playing poker while others asked questions. Bet he was holding asses & jackasses.

The Republicans are such suckers.. their push to "seem" relevant in the decision on whether to support Judas 00-bama's conclusion to engage in Syrian actions has set them up for being blamed next election time for putting 'boots on the ground" in Syrie. What the Republicans have really done is put Judas 00-bama's boot up their arses.

Online story: "AUSTIN, Texas -- A Texas judge is pushing Lance Armstrong closer to his first sworn testimony on details of his performance-enhancing drug use, ordering the cyclist to answer questions about who knew what and when about his doping, including possibly his ex-wife and his attorneys." -- This is where the 5th Amendment should be honored by the court system and Congress. Where was this judge the day IRS' Lois Lerner took the 5th wrongly at a Congressional inquiry?

L-E story: "SPRING, Texas — A fight inside a Houston-area high school escalated into a series of stabbings Wednesday that killed a 17-year-old student and wounded several others, sheriff’s officials said. * Three students described as “persons of interest” were taken into custody after the fight in the cafeteria at Spring High School, about 20 miles north of Houston. Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said authorities were not searching for any other suspects and that everyone involved in the fight were students from the school district. * We believe a confrontation of some sort occurred... that ultimately led into a physical confrontation that produced weapons,” Garcia said. “There has been some information that this may have been gang related .” -- Dang, we were left in the lurch of not knowing if was an automatic or semi-automatic knife...

News Flash! Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein will initiate simultaneous knife control laws in Congress as soon as they get back from vacation!

L-E headline: "Education chief says later start of school day could help teens " -- Yeah, I can see it would help teens... they would still be home when their parents went to work so they could sleep in without being nagged, and as long as they get up before their parents get home, probably wouldn't get caught. Is this the best Judas 00-bama's Secretary pf Education can come up with?

So Bradley Manning has become Chelsea Manning.... now she-it has become a WACko instead of a wacko.

From L-E's "Looking Back - 50 years ago today" feature: "Three Birmingham white schools scheduled to admit Negroes were closed today under the prodding of Gov. George C. Wallace following a midnight riot which claimed one life. The four-member city school board voted unanimously to go along with Wallace." -- The L-E is doing us a favor by reminding every one of "what was" compared to "what is". Let's just pray the Al Sharptons, Jesse Jacksons, and Judas 00-bamas read this.

From the "that's the night the lights went out in GA" department - Online story: " The parents of a south Georgia teen found dead inside a rolled-up wrestling mat in a high school gym want federal authorities to reopen a case that had been declared an accident, the family’s attorney said Wednesday. * Sheriff’s investigators had decided after months of investigation that 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson died in a freak accident after he was found stuck upside down Jan. 11 in the rolled-up mat, which was propped upright behind bleachers at his Valdosta high school. Family attorney Chevene King said Wednesday that a new autopsy by a private pathologist has concluded the boy died from an apparently non-accidental blow to the neck. Johnson’s parents had reported the teen missing when he didn’t return from school Jan. 10. * Sheriff Chris Prine in Lowndes County has previously said he suspected Johnson became trapped while trying to retrieve a shoe that fell into the center of the large rolled mat." -- Hmmm, this falls into the "suicide by multiple shotgun lasts" category.

Random thought: By the time St Francis and Columbus Regional hire all the doctors to work directly for them, will there be any doctors we can go to for minor medical problems?

L-E headline: "Falcons’ Ryan has his money, now he wants a championship " -- You know, it used to be that you got the championship before you get "the money". What is the incentive now?

L-E story: " Family Dollar, also is growing in the market. Columbus building permits show the chain constructing a new store at 2333 Hamilton Road, with a construction price tag of $750,000 for the 8,250-square-foot structure. " -- It's ironic that our MCSD spends $300.00 a sq ft to build a school to teach children who barely qualify to get a job in a business that can be built for $90.00 a sq ft. This is an education in itself for taxpayers.

Dick Tracy has become real. Samsung has introduced a "smart-watch" that allows wearers to received text messages, plus make and receive phone calls. Boy this'll eliminate your teen from saying he/she wasn't near to his/her phone, or that it was cut off.
