Online headline: "Obama Gives Thanks For America's Founders, Troops, Volunteers" -- Judas 00-bama ought to gives "thanks"....thanks he has a job, thanks that the mainstream media hasn't turned on him completely, thanks he hasn't been impeached & convicted, and thanks no one (but Biden) wants Joe Biden in the Oval Office.

(AP) — The Jacksonville woman awaiting a new trial in a controversial "stand your ground" case is free on bond. * In 2012, Marissa Alexander was sentenced to a mandatory 20-year prison sentence for firing what she insisted was a warning shot during a fight with her husband. She tried to invoke Florida's "stand your ground" law, but the judge threw out her self-defense claim * An appeals court ruled in September that the judge in the case gave improper jury instructions." -- "mandatory 20 year prison sentence"? You better believe there should be a new "gun control" law... one banning sentencing laws like this in similar situations!

Isn't Judas 00-bama just adding fuel to the fire? Who's he going to send over to get Bleep Veep Biden out... Dennis Rodman?

I won't have to wait for the weekend games to find the ugliest uniform award winner. What's even worse is that it's my team.. Mississippi State. MSU had helmets that looked like replicas if that Egg Bowl Trophy and metallic gold numbers on the jerseys made it near nigh impossible to pick out players.

---

OK...our uniforms were ugly.... refereeing was also ugly, but even an ugly "W" is beautiful when you upset your state rival. Go, State, Go!

---

One more time....GA Southern beat Florida 26- 20. Now we see the YouTube video of two Florida players blocking each other.... hilarious is not adequate to describe the situation. I just wondered why the ref didn't throw a flag on them for either holding or improper celebration/dancing on the field.

L-E headline/story: "Muscogee County School District to expand Bring Your Own Device policy system-wide * Bring Your Own Device allows students to use their high-tech gadgets in the classroom, as long as the school and teacher permit them * if parents do choose to allow their children to bring a high-tech gadget to school, district officials recommend devices that run Microsoft software because they will provide the best integration with the school system's wireless network * "We are aware that other computer operating systems will work," ( Forrest ) Toelle (MCSD Chief Information Officer) aid, "but we cannot guarantee as good of a user experience or how well a non-Microsoft OS will work in the MCSD environment." -- Are we actually paying this person... Toelle.. to be the CIO of the MCSD system? Even middle-schoolers know all the handheld Internet devices will operate on a Wi-Fi system and it doesn't matter whether your device is Microsoft, Apple or Android driven.

McClatchy story: ":LOS ANGELES — A California man charged in a "serial thrill-kill" rampage that left six people dead, including four homeless men and a woman and her son, died Thursday after being found sick in his jail cell " -- Good grief... what's next? Bet some lawyer sues the jail for denying him 20 years of legal fees to represent the dead serial killer.

Now it seems some veggan food company is using Algore as an endorsement for its product line. Now we know why Algore is so strident about global warming/climate change being wherever he speaks... one word... b-e-a-n-s.... Algore is a walking, talking methane machine.

Did anyone see Santa Claus on CBS's coverage of the Macy's parade? I switched back and forth between CBS & NBC and saw Santa on NBC, but it seems CBS stopped covering the parade just before Santa came into view.

From a fellow BCer: "FAA Issues Holiday Reminder That Planes Can Crash And Kill You"

http://www.theonion.com/video/faa-issues-holiday-reminder-that-planes-can-crash,34701/

--- You have to wonder even more about what Judas 00-bama knew, and when he knew, the OObamaCRAP website would also crash & burn.

Random question: How does having a 4 or 5 digit deductible help families afford preventative medicine? If any "universal" insurance is going to work for preventative medicine, it cannot have a deductible . Premiums should cover average services and "normal" emergency needs, with a controlled profit for the carrier processing. If the program works , then overtime premiums can go down, and carriers profits can rise. A policy with patient determined deductibles and coverages for catastrophic situations should be separate from the preventative program.

Online quote site: " “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” ― John F. Kennedy " -- Hmmm, every politician should have to place their hand on a copy of this before making any speech, law, or campaign promise.

---

Now Judas Oo-bama is putting the starting team into the OObamaCRAP website fiasco. No football coach would start the "taxi sqad" and let a rival run up a 50 point lead before putting in the first team. I bet the communities that Judas 00-bama was the Community Organizer of now realize why they are so behind the poverty level.

Mayor Obamalinson allowed the Sheriff's Department flap to run up nearly $500,000.00 to pay lawyers' fees to argue over a few thousand dollars in salaries.... hardly penny-wise..

Marcia Hahm is hoping to introduce legislation called the Fragrance Free Schools Act that would ban the scented products in schools where some students have severe fragrance allergies, according to the Pennsylvania Independent." -- Good grief! Pennsylvania had Arlen Spector so long, it's become California East.

Low info voter's L-E "soundoff": "Fortunately for CHS it can easily be named a top public school in the nation due to being a total academic magnet. Only high achievers can attend CHS. This is unfortunate for other high schools." -- Well, what are you going to do about seeing that your child is CHS "worthy"? What are you doing about insisting all schools be CHS competitive? Are you going to put up with the same MCSD Board members next election? Are you going to sit silently as the school system removes you, as a parent, from being involved in your child's learning experience? Are you going to be proud of remaining the victim when your government claims you are incapable of changing life for yourself? Are you going to start, today, right now, being a better parent to your school aged children? There's plenty you can do...

From the L-E's "Today in History": " In 1952, President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower secretly left on a trip to Korea, keeping his campaign promise to assess the ongoing conflict first-hand." -- Hmmm, can anyone find another incident of a positive campaign promise being kept since?
