If government workers haven't received wage increases for the time period
we are being told, why does Judas 00-bama need more money to run the
government?
---
We lost a good guy, a good friend, an advocate for good government , and a
fellow BCer yesterday. Brother Rosenberg... we all will miss his drive and
passion and friendship.

Online story: "A Grand Rapids school cafeteria worker was canned this week
after she hired two fourth-graders to pummel a classmate. * The woman, who
wasn’t identified by the local television station WoodTV, admitted to giving two
fourth-grade students a total of $1 to ruff up a classmate who offended her. The
woman, who has no criminal history, worked for West Michigan Janitorial Service,
a contractor for the school district." -- First, WoodTV should be chastised for
not blasting her name AND picture for the world to see and remember her.
Secondly, the Grand Rapids, MI school board should do the same.
---L-E story: " DECATUR, Ga. — A man who
was recorded encouraging his 12-yearold daughter to fight a 14-year-old girl in
a video that was uploaded to YouTube has been sentenced to 24 months in jail. --
Seems appropriate for the school worker in the above item as
well.

Online story: "British police have arrested a 10-year-old boy in the
killing of an elderly man who died of head injuries. *West Yorkshire police said
Monday the boy was arrested in the death of a 79-year-old retired man. * Children of 10 and over can be held responsible
for criminal offenses in England" -- England has gotten one thing right... don't
give thugs until 18 to get away from consequences.
---From "the truth always rises" department" -
Online story: " You
hear a perfect record cited over and over in the debt limit debate: The United
States has never defaulted. Better put an asterisk by that. * Once, the young
nation had a dramatic excuse: The Treasury was empty, the White House and
Capitol were charred ruins, even the troops fighting the War of 1812 weren't
getting paid. * A second
time, in 1979, was a back-office glitch that ended up costing taxpayers billions
of dollars. The Treasury Department blamed the mishap on a crush of paperwork
partly caused by lawmakers who — this will sound familiar — bickered too long
before raising the nation's debt limit. -- Judas 00-bama lies again....Hmmm
1979... Carter was President and BOTH the Senate and the House were majority
Democrats... Hmmm, in today's history rewrites, I'll bet the Republicans and
Bush43 were to blame.
---
Online story: "We hope by the time kids are teens, they've learned to do
what is right. A high school in Massachusetts is more interested in district
policy than good intentions after a student tried to help her friend in
need. * Two
weeks ago Erin Cox, a senior (and honor student) at Andover High School,
received a call from a friend who was too drunk to drive home from a
house party. Just as Erin arrived at the house to pick up her friend so, too,
did the cops. While Erin was questioned by police, she was released without
charge. Several other students at the party were arrested for being minors in
possession. * School officials, however, argued her presence at the
party broke their zero-tolerance policy regarding drugs and alcohol. Erin was
stripped of her 'captain' title on the volleyball team and suspended for five
games * The
Cox family had no luck challenging the school's decision in court. A petition of
support has been started by her friends at school in an effort to have the
punishments overturned" -- If there is a zero-tolerance policy that needs to be
upheld, it's one the voters should exercise to remove the 'zeroes" on the school
board at next election.

From the "suspicions conformed" department - HuffPost
headline story: "White House Garden Takes A Hit As Shutdown Keeps Staff
Out * In the famous White House kitchen garden,
tomatoes are rotting on the vine. Herbs have gone to seed. And the sweet
potatoes - a favorite of President Barack Obama - have become worm food" --
Hmmm, just as we suspected, no one in the White House actually knows what the
difference is between an essential & non-essential job, and Judas 00-bama
doesn't even know how to handle a
'ho'.
---
When figuring out "who to blame" for today's
current political turmoil, two names jump out: Ross Perot and Newt Gingrich.
Perot, because he got Clinton elected with only a plurality of voters, and Newt
for getting Clinton re-elected then abandoning ship. Newt's "Contract with
America" was needed and good, but it also got Clinton re-elected because the
voters were happy, then Newt left the House leaving the Republican without a
true conservative leader, and the majority Republicans started acting like
wasteful Democrats and disappointed the true Republican
base.
---
Online headline:
" Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst Sent To
Rome To Curb Lavish Spending" -- Oooops, my bad... thought the Pope had been on
a spending spree, but it was actually a bishop being called onto the red
carpet.
---
Hmmm... half-black or half-white... take your
pick, but either way, Judas 00-bama is a half-ass
president.
---
WTVM9 headline: "New Study: Teen gun-related
deaths becoming an epidemic" -- It's taken a "new study" to determine this? I
figured this out long ago just listening and reading news stories on TV and in
the newspapers.
---
Two Chicagoans share this years Nobel Prize in
Economics with a Yale professor. Wouldn't you know, Judas 00-bama selected
Chicagoans Bill Ayers, Arne Duncan, and Rahm Emanuel for his advisors
instead.
---
McClatchy headline: "An al Qaeda leader indicted 15 years ago for the
bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa is being held in a federal prison in New
York after a week of presumed interrogation on a Navy ship in the Mediterranean.
-- Hmmm, guess Judas 00-bama will probably appoint him under-Secretary of State
to Kerry for the
Mid-East.
---
Pure and simple, if Republicans are being
"blamed" in the mainstream media polls, it's because the mainstream media is not
asking the questions fairly.
---
McClatchy "headlie": "Nonpartisan group launches TV
ads to urge a fiscal deal" -- Hmm, I guess it depends on how you define
non-partisan.
---
On the subject discussion concerning the use of
"Redskins", one lib brought up that the Washington Nationals didn't entertain a
'slur' word for their nickname. Maybe so, but the Nationals were once the
Washington Senators.. and after watching the Senate in action, it would have
been a horrible slur to label hard working professionals as
"Senators".
---
Bob Costas.... If there's one area where commentators
should not be liberals, it's sports. No one should be able to use his bully
pulpit from the announcers box at a football game... actually any team, any
sports field for that matter. He called "Redskins" a slur.. If there is any
slur, it's Bob Costas calling himself an
announcer.

The future of Mayor Obamalinson's "high speed rail
system"? From a fellow BCer:

L-E story: "“Ms. (District 3 representative Athavia “A.J.”) Senior’s daughter
has no teaching experience and does not hold a certificate to teach, yet all of the sudden there
seemed to be a place for her to teach language arts at Fort Middle School. … Go
figure,” Myers said. * Senior countered that her daughter has always
excelled in her endeavors and didn’t need her mother’s help to get Fort
Principal Sonja Coaxum’s recommendation she be hired on a provisional basis,
without a teaching certificate. District administrators maintain hiring teachers
who haven’t yet obtained a certificate is not unusual, particularly if the
position to be filled is a “critical need.” -- You know, after the budget crunches and teacher furloughs
experienced by those with degrees, all those with degrees should be fed up with Board decisions like this, and for filling a "critical
need" job with a non-degreed employee. Believe me, just listening to today's
teens communication skills demonstrates that "language arts" is indeed a
critical job.
---
L-E story: "The Muscogee County School District has fired the Northside High
School teacher charged with attempted sexual assault of a student. *
The
English language arts teacher, Tucker Hearn, was listed as terminated on the district’s personnel report, which the Muscogee
County School Board officially received during Monday’s work session." -- Hmm, language arts again; wonder if Board member Senior
has another child to fill this "critical" job? It also brings up whether proper
screenings are being taken when "critical" jobs are being
filled.
---
Super low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " When 90 percent of
Americans want affordable health care and sensible gun control, but can’t get
legislation passed because of the House minority, it’s time to get a new House."
-- I look for humor in things, but when things like this are dished out
intentionally, I have a hard time retaining my composure while typing. You have
to wonder what 'they" are teaching in our schools, and broadcasting on
CNN/Matthew's Sh*tNBC to a new high in unbelievability as the House has been a
mojority of Republicans since the 2006 elections. As for the "90 percent"
figure, you can see what pulling a number out of thin air gets
you.
---
L-E story: " Mark Cantrell of District 6
is CEO of Action Buildings, so he knows storage facilities as well as anyone. He
insisted the estimated cost “sounds like a very high price” for a building
district construction director Bobby Hecht figured would be 15-20 feet by about
60 feet." -- I usually applaud at Mark Cantrell's perceptiveness, BUT... but
$80,000.00 will be a pittance in constructing a storage building that will be
theft proof in that neighborhood. Once again, I submit, the school board doesn't
build those types of buildings at any school, and schools with them have
benefited from parents of students contributing.. then again, the school board
too often looks at itself as the parents of its
students.
---
Why is it that teachers,
school boards, and even the media think "federal or state grants" are "free
money"? The government takes that out of our pockets, wastes too much on
administering these 'grants', then sends a pittance back while accepting 'thank
yous' from other government employees. "Grants" take money out of the classroom,
not inject into
it.
---
Joe C...... Joe C.
Meriweather died unexpectedly Sunday. Not everyone remembers him, but he was a
terrific basketball player, and a humble man... a hard combination to achieve,
but it describes
him.
---
L-E story: "Nearly 58 million Social
Security recipients are still getting monthly benefits during the partial
government shutdown. But they will have to wait to find out the size of next
year’s cost-of-living adjustment. * Social Security was
scheduled to announce the annual raise Oct. 16. That’s the same day the Labor Department was scheduled to release
inflation statistics for September. The Labor
Department, however, said Wednesday it will not issue the inflation report
because of the shutdown. No new release date was set. -- Hmmm, Judas 00-bama
already knows the numbers but just doesn't want to announce them ahead of the
current negotiations to raise his spending limits. What you can count on will be
a negligible amount of increase, and it all gets down to why Judas 00-bama needs
more money to spend when neither SS recipients nor government workers are
getting
increases.
---
Ooops, after a recent
leveling off of the Foreclosure Section of the L-E, it's back up to 12 pages.
Yes, Virginia, yes, Georgia, there is a Judas 00-bama and a Harry
Reid.

If Columbus loses the annual Morehouse-Tuskegee football game because of
extortion, then we haven't lost anything. Let Calvin Smyre pick up the
slack with a
Synovus Foundation donation if he so chooses, but the City should not
"invest" tax
dollars for a private function. Plus, if Phenix City so decides to fall
prey to such,
Columbus will still benefit, and heaven knows when Phenix City has made
much of an
addition to the area
economy.

Those 'celebrity' diet ads... Do Nutra-systems, Jenny Craig, et al
believe their
celebrity spokespersons will actually invite A-list friends over to share
a meal.
