In Landover, MD.. a 26 year old mail delivery postal worker was shot multiple times and killed. Today it's a "man bites dog" tragic incident. Let's hope this is not one of the street thug "just for the fun of it" ways to satisfy boredom.

Other than his dream to "transform America" can anyone recall a campaign promise the Judas 00-bama has kept? Other than OObamaCRAP, how about "tried" to keep?

---

There's an ad campaign claiming OObamaCRAP was made the "law of the land" by the US Supreme Court. That's not what happened.. the Supremes, in a politically split decision, declared the government had the right to enact taxes, and OObamaCRAP was indeed a tax no matter how much Judas 00-bama lied about that.

Online story: "For decades, presidential candidates' chances in Iowa were wounded if not doomed unless they backed federal support for ethanol, a boon to the state's corn-growing economy. * That rule of politics collapsed resoundingly in the 2012 campaign when five of the six top Republican candidates said it was time for such intervention in the private market to end. * Now, Iowa's senior political leaders are pondering how to shore up political support for the corn-based fuel at a time when its economic and environmental benefits are under attack ." -- Hmm, according to Obamarats, the nation and the world are starving, and the Iowa corn growers are panicking that the subsidy for corn for ethanol use is ending. Hey, Iowa, you voted for Judas 00-bama, welcome to reality.

L-E headline: "Netanyahu calls Iran deal ‘a historic mistake’" -- Hmmm, wanna bet Netanyahu had another word in mind other than "mistake", but filtered it for family friendliness?

---
HuffPost headline: "Obama reaches out to Netanyahu after Iran nuclear deal" -- Betcha Netanyahu had two thoughts on the matter.... whether to leave Judas 00-bma "hanging", or to extend only his middle finger and say, "Grab hold of this".

---

Online headline: "Packers-Vikings game ends in a tie" -- Well, this will make it easy for John Madden to fill his new "All-Madden" team. Any player publicly satisfied with a tie, should be an automatic choice, and any fan of this decision get season tickets to the new "All-Madden" away games.

---

North Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa, Nebraska, Utah... what do they have in common? Well according to polling criteria, these are the 5 best run states. Note that all but Iowa voted for Romney in 2012, and after the earlier item on "corn", Iowa probably regrets its choice.

---

Conversely: Nevada, Rhode Island, Illinois, New Mexico California -- No mystery here now.. the worst 5 run states, and you guessed it, all support Judas 00-bama/

HuffPost headline: "Sheen donates $25K to Philippine relief efforts" -- Cheapskate! I'll donate $50,000 to the Phillippine Relief Effort if Hollywood, TV and mainstream media will just stop showing his face.

Online headline/story: "Elitists Michael Bloomberg & Ray Kelly Went After Guns – They will be Leaving their Jobs with at least 23 Armed Bodyguards Between Them * now that Kelly is leaving the police department, he's requesting six NYPD detectives to keep him and his family safe. If that wasn't enough, he'll hit the taxpayer up for approximately $120,000 per year for each of those detectives. * Not to be outdone, Mayor Bloomberg will be having an even larger security team. He will be taking about seventeen of his bodyguard team. Though he will pay them from his own pocket $150,000 per year, these men will be allowed to retire immediately and still collect their city pensions from taxpayers." --Hmm the NY Post printed a "soundoff" from an unknown submitter that nailed the situation pretty good.. "So he gives them plum jobs to keep their mouths shut." Yes... kinda like the insurance that late Mayor Martin made by having all his Mayoral documents and notes shredded by Columbus Regional when he left office.

Online story: "Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on a conference call organized by Karl Rove’s Crossroads organization for large donors and their advisers on Oct. 30 that the Tea Party movement, in his view, is a “nothing but a bunch of bullies” that he plans to “punch … in the nose.” -- Amazing .. tough talk from a guy who I doubt knows how to even make a fist.

---

SafeMart Home Security won't be getting a Christmas card from Mayor Obamalinson or Council this year... again. SafeMart just published its 2013 list of "Five Most Dangerous Cities In America", and though Columbus dropped from 1st in 2012, to 5th in 2013, Columbus' overall rating climbed higher.

---

Yesterday's, instead of boosting up police coverage of crime areas, The "Council Agenda" published in the L-E revealed Council will vote Tuesday on basically taking nearly $700,000.00 out of our Public Safety LOST revenues to distribute like personal donations to their pet projects. That's basically fiduciary malfeasance .

---

L-E headline: "SOA WATCH DEMONSTRATION * Annual protest at Benning gate ends with no arrests" -- OK, enough's enough. Now, in addition to the City having to waste money on public safety personnel to observe and control the protestors, the protestors don't have enough energy left to get arrested, so the City loses out on the income to offset the public safety costs. Come on L-E drop coverage of a non-event so it will just "go away".

---

In the L-E's "Today in history" feature: "In 1999, five-year-old Elian Gonzalez was rescued by a pair of sport fishermen off the coast of Florida, setting off an international custody battle" -- Hmmm, and janet Reno, President Clinton's AG, sent jack-booted, automatic rifle armed, agents in to his kinfolks' home and dragged Elian out, and sent him back to Cuba. Why is it Democratic Presidents won't fire out-of-control Attorney Generals they appoint?

---

L-E headline: "Military alters training exercises, daily routines to deal with budget woes" -- This is horrible... The NSA, CIA, nor FBI can keep track of the movement of or stop terrorists infiltrating our country, and Juads 00-bama is cutting the military budget that doesn't actually exist in writing. "Go figure" would seem like an appropriate interjection here, but unfortunately, it's inappropriate do to the facts that Judas 00-bama 'figures' too much as it is.

---

L-E's "Quotable": “We must not always talk in the market-place of what happens to us in the forest.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne American author (1804-1864)" -- Hmm so "What goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas" is really not that original.... Blog note: one of my McElhenney ancestors was married to Hawthorne's son.

---

Ypu know, from day one, Judas 00-bama said his ObamaCare would be his legacy... he's actually right, but it's not going to be remembered by historians as any more than another piece of the OObamaCRAP puzzle.

---

For months now, the L-E has finished stories involving violence that required trips to "Midtown Medical Center" with the "footnote": " Police interviewed the victim at the Midtown Medical Center, formerly The Medical Center." All we need now is for the Medical Center to sponsor a fundraising concert featuring "formerly known as Prince". We get it, L-E, now move on.

---

L-E headline: "Alleged burglars attempt to kick down Macon Road door" -- Hmmm. I guess some car driver had a short battle with road rage.

---

L-E headline: "BCS * NIU jumps Fresno State in standings" -- You know, aside from not even knowing the locales of either of those schools, and not knowing either's mascot, does anyone really care about either of those school's BCS rankings? Who has fun even proclaiming "We're Number 2!" much less "We're number teen-something!"?

---

L-E headline: "Brian McCann agrees to contract with Yankees" -- Hmmm, may the "Curse of Biff Pocoroba" go with McCann to the Yankees. as well.
