Hmmm, what's up at MSNBC? Obviously it's not the bottom line. MSNBC fired CRAPital ONE Spokesbigot Alec Baldwin, and Chris Matthews no longer tingles up or down the brass' legs.

Online story: "The National Security Agency has been gathering records of online sexual activity and evidence of visits to pornographic websites as part of a proposed plan to harm the reputations of those whom the agency believes are radicalizing others through incendiary speeches, according to a top-secret NSA document. The document, provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, identifies six targets, all Muslims, as “exemplars” of how “personal vulnerabilities” can be learned through electronic surveillance, and then exploited to undermine a target's credibility, reputation and authority * The Director of the National Security Agency -- described as "DIRNSA" -- is listed as the "originator" of the document. Beyond the NSA itself, the listed recipients include officials with the Departments of Justice" -- Hmmm, wonder if Judas 00-bama will adopt the same Benghazi Embassy security plan to avoid this YouTube video from causing an attack on the White House? Wonder if Pric Holder will beef up illegal alien security at his house?

Online story: "Walmart has amassed a trove of personal data on 60 percent of adult Americans -- possibly over 145 million people -- according to estimates from a report released Tuesday.* “This is part of a growing trend that leaves American consumers -- particularly consumers of color and poor consumers -- really vulnerable to violations of their online privacy,” said Malkia Cyril, the head of the Center for Media Justice, a left-leaning media rights advocacy group" -- Wanna bet the Center for Media Justice hasn't complained about the NSA or IRS or DOJ or OObamaCRAP invasions of privacy? Wanna bet how much money the taxpayers would save by letting Walmart collect data versus the NSA, IRS, DOJ and OObamaCRAP? Wanna bet Walmarts knows the addresses of most illegal aliens?

Online headline: "Christie On Obamacare: 'I'm Really Glad The Train Wreck's Not Mine, It's His'" -- Well, Christie, it might become yours through inheritance, so how stop fueling the engine, and get off the 00-bama "rail".

HuffPost headline: "Obama Goes On Offensive Over Health Care Law" -- "goes on the offensive"? OObamaCRAP has been offensive from the gitgo!

Online story: "After weeks of careful ballot counting, officials in Washington state on Tuesday certified the results in a potentially historic vote that will create far and away the highest minimum wage in America. * Squeaking by with a mere 77-vote margin, the ballot measure known as Proposition 1 will set a $15 wage floor for an estimated 6,000 airport and hotel workers in SeaTac, Wash., a suburb of 27,000 residents south of Seattle. * While the vote count had been too close to call in the days following the Nov. 5 election, the King County Elections commission posted the official results on its website late Tuesday: 3,040 in favor of the measure, 2,963 against. There were 12,108 registered voters eligible to cast ballots." -- Hmmm, the next 2 years or so will be interesting. Wonder how many hotels will close/relocate, and it's effect on Boeing union wages which are tied into increase in the minimum wage? This will probably be a worse influence on the economy than 00bamaCRAP in that area.

Online story: "CHESTERFIELD, MO. — Gov. Jay Nixon is heading to St. Louis County to publicly pitch his plan to lure a new Boeing Co. aircraft plant to Missouri. * Nixon was scheduled to deliver a luncheon speech Wednesday to St. Louis business and civic leaders hosted by Progress 64 West, a group that promotes development along the Interstate 64 corridor. * The Democratic governor met privately with Boeing executives last week as Missouri competes with at least five other states to produce the Boeing 777X commercial airplane * A new plant would likely mean thousands of new jobs. Boeing says it expects to choose a location by early 2014" -- Looks like the $15.00 minimum wage got Boeings attention, and it's not wasting any time to move out of SeaTac.

Online story: "SAN DIEGO (AP) — U.S. Border Patrol agents were pelted with rocks and bottles while turning back a crowd of more than 100 people who crossed the border illegally into California, authorities said. * Agents were attacked with rocks 185 times in the 2012 fiscal year, making it the second-most common type of assault, according to the Department of Homeland Security inspector general." -- "attacked with rocks 185 times in 2012"? And Judas 00-bama and his Bungling Brother's Circus want to give amnesty to an assault group? Perhaps Pric Holder should make some of those "fast & furious" program guns sent to our Border Patrol rather than Mexican drug cartels.

Online story: "WASHINGTON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Two U.S. military aircraft have flown around disputed islands in the East China Sea without informing China, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, defying China's declaration that the region falls into a new airspace defense zone." -- Hmm, we know no Obamarats read the OObamaCRAP bill, but it looks like even Judas 00-bama may not have read the fine print on the loans he's taken out from China to run up the National Debt. Wonder if China will foreclose on the White House?

Online story: "NEW LONDON, CONN. — Nurses and other caregivers are expected to go on strike at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London after the company and union representing 800 workers failed to agree on a new contract. * The union, AFT Connecticut, accused hospital negotiators on Tuesday of refusing to continue talks. Workers were set to strike at 6 a.m. Wednesday. * The hospital says the disagreement is due to what it calls the union's "unyielding demand" for 100 percent job security. The hospital says such a demand is unrealistic because of changes in the health care industry." -- "100 percent job security"? There's not 1 executive in that hospital that has 100 percent job security; there's not 1 soldier who has that guarantee in any of our military branches. Dang, even Bill Gates doesn't have 100 percent security that Judas 00-bama won't confiscate his entire wealth.

Online story: "NEW YORK -- A program that provides food and nutrition assistance to millions of low-income Americans may not be effective at current funding levels, suggests a new study. * SNAP -- formerly known as food stamps -- is the largest U.S. food assistance program and reached approximately 45 million people in 2011, Rimm and his colleagues write in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior. The program is run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) * The researchers also found that people receiving SNAP benefits increased their consumption of refined grains like breads, pasta and rice by about one serving per day. * Those foods, they write, are linked to a higher risk of diabetes." -- Hmmm, conclusive evidence that entitlement programs drive up healthcare?

Online headline/story: "Ronald Reagan's Son Records Atheist Radio Ad: 'Not Afraid Of Burning In Hell' * In 2004, three weeks after his father's death, Reagan told The New York Times that he would be an "unelectable" candidate for president because of his secular affiliations. * "I’m unelectable. I’m an atheist. As we all know, that is something people won't accept,” Reagan said." -- Hmmm, seems little Ron Reagan left out the most important self-descriptive reason of why he's not electable... he's an (_*_).

The "knockout" game/polar bear hunting incidences are growing.. We know it's not "racial" because Al Sharptongue doesn't acknowledge it, and Judas 00-bama hasn't called for a "summit",

Have known Frank Thomas since he was a tot (though a big tot) in his Peach LL days here in Columbus...the "Big Hurt" is one of those who has blessed and honored the history and game of baseball. Good luck, Frank!

L-E story: "After nearly half a century of decline in the bus industry, a new breed of sleek, Wi-Fi-pumping intercity coach is transforming the image of buses as the much-ridiculed travel option of last resort. * The new bus services are capitalizing on generational and technological shifts: younger urbanites are espousing a car-free lifestyle, and gadget-wielding travelers of all ages increasingly expect to buy tickets online and stay connected for the duration of their trip." -- In brief, the airline industry has brought itself to its knees with its gestapo like tactics. Wonder if (_*_) BAldwin will now ride the bus so he can play on his phone?

L-E story: "Leonardo DiCaprio wants to help the tiger population of Nepal. His Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation has awarded $3 million in grants to the World Wildlife Fund to work with the Nepal government on protecting the animals." -- Hmmm, not only does it not do the homeless in his home state any good here at the holiday season, the deduction will reduce his tax support of 00-bama entitlement programs as well.
