Online story: "CAIRO, Oct 13 (Reuters) - A U.S. citizen was found dead in an Egyptian prison on Sunday in an apparent suicide six weeks after he was arrested for breaking a curfew, security sources said. * James Henry had been held at Ismailia, northeast of Cairo, since his arrest on Aug. 28 * A U.S. embassy official said a U.S. citizen had died as the result of an apparent suicide at the Ismailia prison. Egyptian authorities made no immediate comment * The prisoner had hung himself with his shoe laces and an autopsy was now being carried out, one security source said" -- Apparent suicide? The only thing apparent is that Judas 00-bama hasn't ordered anything done about it.

---Online story: "Detroit's state-appointed emergency manager says a $350 million loan has been secured to help the city pay its way out of a complicated deal involving major creditors. * Kevyn Orr said Friday that the money committed by Barclays will help with Detroit's reconstruction as he tries to take the city into the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. * The city says the loan is secured with pledges of casino and income tax revenue, and cash from the potential value of assets that exceed $10 million" -- Can't you hear Br'er Rabbit jest a laffing all de way to the briar patch? I can't believe Barclays would consider tax revenue that depends on revenues generated by people visiting (and citizens not moving out) as "collateral". Betcha if Wimpy asked them for a hamburger today that he would gladly pay on Tuesday, Detroit coulda double the loan amount.

I am beginning to tire, no, get PO'd at Senate committees of 6 Republicans and 6 Obamarats convening to discuss anything. I want the committees to be made up of 12 Americans...period!

Online story: "A crowd converged on the World War II Memorial on the National Mall on Sunday, pushing through barriers to protest the memorial's closing under the government shutdown. * Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah, along with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, were among those gathered Sunday morning. Cruz said President Barack Obama is using veterans as pawns in closing the memorial." -- Now this is what I'm talking about! Americans standing up for America and our proud history! Let's have a recall election tomorrow on every Senator, every House member and Judas 00-bama and his 40 Tsars.

Online headline: "Cities most vulnerable to natural disasters" -- Oooops, my bad.. they were talking about cities with weather problems; I thought it was going to be about major US cities with Obamarat mayors.

Have you looked at www.organizingforaction.com? This is Judas 00-bama's campaign website with a new name and a 501 (c) 4 status which allows tax deductible donations if the organization is more educational than political. There is nothing "educational" it what it's doing. IRS needs to revoke this status and deny contributions on tax returns. Same goes for www.movingon.com.

Someone has compared the ObamaCare rollout as worse than the rollout of "New Coke". That also proves another difference between public & private business... Coca Cola turned it's reversal into one of the most beloved and spectacular trend reversals in history. Not so much for ObamaCare.

---

The drop of the number of Americans who are satisfied with the direction our nation is heading down to 18%. What that means is that more Obamarats are in unison with Republicans than ever before. What this means is that 82% of Americans believe Judas 00-bama is pathetic. Well, at least more pathetic than when they first voted for him anyway.

---

Have you noticed how the Obamarat Party, and, for that matter,The Pubic School systems have pretty much banned the lessons of moral fables. Br'er Rabbit has been pretty much banned from discussion, and if anyone wants to talk about the ants and the grasshopper, it's the hard working ants that get mauled by the mainstream media.

---

You don't have to read any further than the Book of Numbers to understand why the Obamarats want to keep the Bible out of politics. God provided all the needs of the Jewish nation as it fled Egypt, and roamed the deserts until it got to the "promised land". God provided leadership, food & water, guidance and security. Still, the recipients griped and demanded more; gratitude was non-existent. Sounds pretty much like the entitlement state so nurtured by the Obamarat party.

From the "suspicions conformed" department for the above item - Low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " Why would our government sabotage itself with a shutdown? Those tea party folks need counseling" -- You know, liberals just don't understand economics. They think there's an endless supply of 'other people's money', and if you don't have enough money, just print some more.

---An even lower info voter's L-E "soundoff": “Giving your book to Hollywood is the same as giving your daughter to a pimp.” (Tom Clancy, who died last week.) Isn’t that what we did when we elected Republicans to guide the United States?" -- I guess it's in how you define the word "pimp"... I define it as a person who keeps another person enslaved by taking what they produce, and giving back just enough to exist and want more, but have no path 'out' of their condition. In other words, a "pimp" is any Obamarat.

---

I may have to backtrack on Judas 00-bama being able/willing to "cross a line". In the last week or so, Republicans have been called/described as "jihadists, anarchists, terrorists, blackmailers, anf extortionists". I'd say Judas 00-bama has more than crossed the line of honesty and civility.

---

On the other hand, no Obamarat has been concerned with efficiency, accountability or honesty.

Today is another federal holiday, when most of the still working governent workers get a paid furloughed day off.

Why is it liberals maintain/imply that food stamps are all that recipients get to buy food with? It's supplemental to other sources of income which may be job related or welfare/entitlement related.

---L-E story: "Gunmen attacked a humanitarian convoy in northern Syria on Sunday and abducted seven people working with the International Committee of the Red Cross, the aid group said. * The seven included six staffers of the International Committee of the Red Cross and a volunteer from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent. The nationalities of the Red Cross personnel were not made public. * The kidnappings occurred near the city of Sareqeb in Idlib province, where various anti-government armed factions control broad stretches of territory. -- Hmmm, and who's arming/supporting these jihadiists? That's right.

Hmmm, so the current Harris County SPLOST has only collected $12,000,000.00 instead of the 'hoped for' $21,000,000.00. Not only does this reflect what the economy has done in spite of Judas 00-bama's spinmeisters' press releases to the contrary, it also bodes bad for what the MCSD's overly projected SPLOST results were hoped for. The MCSD dreams of an average for nearly $45,000,0000.00 PER YEAR for 5 years was a joke to begin with (the most a MCSD 1% tax EVER realized in 1 year was $36 Million), so it has to be a real catastrophe at this moment in time. Also, I asked for an update last week, but no School Board member has responded yet.

---

L-E story: " Columbus police are investigating the report of a Circle K being robbed by two men armed with hammers." -- Hmmm, I guess this is because we don't have tough enough hammer purchasing laws. Somebody call Senator Diane Feinstein and see if she will propose a new hammer law today.

---

The MCSD is going to discuss the construction of an $80,000 athletic storage unit at Carver High. Wait a minute... the taxpayers just provided some $40,000,000.00 to replace a school that had a $19,000,000.00 facelift 20 years ago. Besides, what other schools have the MCSD provided athletic storage units? Other schools have parent/booster clubs that donate;raise funds for such. Carver should be no different.

L-E story: "Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones says 13-year-old Marquez Blount died Saturday night at the Medical Center of Central Georgia. Authorities say the boy suffered a gunshot wound to his head Friday night. * Investigators say the younger teen was handling the gun when it discharged. * The 16-year-old boy is charged with possession of a firearm by a minor and possession of a firearm with an altered serial number. -- Somebody oughta make a law against 16 year olds having serial number altered guns! Oh, there are 100's of such laws already. Hmmm, call Senator Feinstein and get another one. Liberals....
