Online story: "A protest on behalf of Walmart workers in Ontario, Calif., led to the arrest of up to 10 people Friday, among them Karl Hilgert, who dressed up as Santa Clause for the event, according to The San Bernardino Sun. The protest was one of around 1,500 planned nationwide Friday accusing Walmart of providing employees unfair wages and working hours * “I'm going to get arrested for civil disobedience,” Hilgert told San Bernardino Sun." -- A union protestor dressed up like Santa Claus to get intentionally arrested in front of kids. We know where the heart of the unions are, and it's smaller than "the Grinch's".

HuffPost headline: "Walmart's Black Friday Going About As Badly As You'd Expect" -- Hmmm, I guess it's a matter of perspective and agenda. HuffPost is pro-union, and Wlamart is pro-laughing-it's-way-to-the-bank. The videos shown remind me of the days of the George Washington Day "I cannot tell a lie" Sales before Washington and Lincoln lost out to a government coerced "President's Day federal holiday. We advertised refrigerators or washers or dryers for $50.00 dollars or less as a 'lost leader'. By time it was time to open, crowds at each door would be 100's packed like sardines. I used to have our sales associates to just stand against the wall as people would race to run up down escalators (some sales veterans would even know about the back fire escape stairs and run up those) hoping to be the lucky ones to get great bargains. It was mayhem, and we all smiled.

Did you see where a helicopter crashed into a pub in Scotland? Don't tell Mayor Obamalinson or our state representatives or they may try to get fly-thru windows at liquor stores.

Online headline: "US strikes new deal with haven for tax evaders" -- Ooops, my bad, thought Judas 00-bama was pardoning more turkeys over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Online headline: "Identity of CIA's Top Spy In Pakistan Reportedly Revealed" -- Hmm, one of those "film at 11:00; funeral at 11:15 stories.

HuffPost headline: "Obama Visits Activists Fasting For Immigration" -- Oops, my bad... Thought Judas 00-bama was looking for directions for escape.

Online headline: "Fight Brews In Pennsylvania's 13th District For Democrats' Direction" -- ""Democrat's direction"? Is "scatter" a direction? What a mish-mash... 4 candidates, including Chelsea Clinton's mother-in-law who doesn't even live in the district she's campaigning for, but rules don't apply to Democrats in PA ...... either.

HuffPost headline: "What The Pentagon Means When It Says The U.S. Military Is 'Ready'" -- Hmmm... "bent over"?

HuffPost headline: "Egyptians Take To Streets Despite New Protest Law" -- Hmmm? Isn't this sorta oxymoronic? Where else do protestors go to protest laws?

I'm waiting.... waiting for the retro billboard ads that feature Verizon and Romney saying, "Can you hear me now?"

L-E story: "NEW LONDON, CONN. — A union spokesman for striking nurses says they have asked Lawrence and Memorial Hospital to allow nurses to return to work Saturday night while contract issues remain unresolved." -- Wait a minute... let me get this straight... the union called a strike, nurses walked out, but now unions want the hospital to let (and pay) them work, and theoretically disrupt patient care if negotiations aren't smooth? There was a time that being in a union meant that if a strike was called, the dues you paid all year, every year were available for members as carry-on economic aid to tide strikers over until a settlement was agreed to. Now, I guess, the union bosses and their Democratic politicians get most of that money, and it's not available for the rank & file members. Hmmm, now tell me why union members still support the unions?

Online story: "'Kinky Boots' Performance At Macy's Day Parade Provokes Outrage" - I must have been watching the CBS portion when this aired on NBC, but NBC and Macy's should be embarrassed, in fact they oughta be chastised for mixing in inappropriate alternative lifestyle entertainment into the opening salvo for Christmas for the children/Christian families of America. In fact, Macy's not only should be embarrassed AND chastised, Macy's should be stricken off our shopping trips. Me, I'm m=not even going to use my usual parking spot area at the Mall from which I walked through the local Macy's to get through to the main \Mall area.

I spoke too soon..as ugly as my Mississippi State's uniforms were, Oregon State's were too ugly not to give them the "Turkey" award for the Thanksgiving weekend. I can't imagine a Saturday game even coming close enough to change my mind again. In fact, combining the Oregon U uniforms with Oregon State's, and you had the worst dressed teams for even a men's slow-pitch softball game

---

Oregon is not a quality team. I honestly think they were intimidated at Oregon State having brighter, uglier uniforms.

---

Fresno State went into yesterday's game with a 10-0 record, scored 52 points... and lost. Wow.

Online story: "For the second time in three years, fishermen in southern Maryland have pulled in a shark from the most unlikely place -- the Potomac River. * Actually they caught two sharks." -- Hmmm, and they were 'bull sharks'... Now, why is anyone surprised? Congress adjourned for the weekend so I'm sure they swept most of their "bull" into the river, and the sharks were hunting for food.

---

After the number of brawls reported at stores and shopping centers in post-Thanksgiving activities may change the traditional name of the holiday shopping spree. Next year it will referred to as "Black-eye Friday"

The White House claim that the website is working better than before is pretty lame. Lamer still is the working website.

McClatchy headline/story: "Labor overtakes business on outside campaign spending * Using data from the National Institute for Money in State Politics on 38 states with significant elections and disclosure laws, the public-integrity group's reporters found unions and other pro-Democratic groups outspent pro-Republican groups by $8 million. * Looking at California data, it appears labor groups' $129.9 million in spending on 2012 races - one-fifth of the year's total campaign contributions - was the most among 14 categories listed. "General business" groups were second with $81.1 million. * Highest on the list of labor contributors: teachers' unions, with $44.9 million, and state and local government workers' unions, with $34.7 million." -- Once again, government employees should not be able to vote in elections of candidates that determine their pay/salaries. Group contributions by teacher and government union groups should be considered attempted bribery at a minimum.

McClatchy story: "WASHINGTON — The United States may be emitting 50 percent more methane, a potent greenhouse gas, than the federal government had previously estimated, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." -- Could it simply be that the National Academy of Sciences is only sampling the air around Algore, and Algore's samples are skewed since he became veggan and eats only beans?

McClatchy story: "In Oregon, a state envied for its high tech, sign-ups under the new federal health-care law have been anything but. * About 400 newly hired workers in Salem are processing paper applications by the thousands for health insurance under President Barack Obama's law. They review each 19-page application, calculate eligibility for tax subsidies, and then mail back a packet of each consumer's options - which the customers must mail back to complete their enrollments." -- Well, after watching the Oregon/Oregon State football game, it's easy to understand... all available computers were being used to design ugly uniforms for last nights game. Now, even with Judas 00-bama's temporary pardoning of the "turkey" dates to sign up, Oregonians are still at risk of failing to meet the deadline as they wait for snail mail to get their forms in on time.

From the " things you learn by accident" department - Are you aware that there's an organic Vodka option out there? Guess veggans can now get soused guilt free.

Common Core, the curriculum being coerced into our school systems (45 states, so far) with the promise of more OObamaBUCK$, has a teaching guideline for the Gettysburg Address which occludes mention or connection with the Civil War. How can you separate the two?

---

The city of. Huntington Beach, CA sent a letter to the owner of Johnny's Rock & Roll Saloon to take down it's roof mounted sign that reads, "Thank a Veteran for your Freedom". The sign has been there for many years, but the city picks now to go after it. Chances are, the sign was grandfathered in before current sigage laws were passed, but you know how liberals work... if Judas 00-bama can illegally change laws on a whim. we oughta be able to do so, also.

---

A Fox commentator said OObamaCRAP is bad because not only did no Congresspersons read it first, now no Congresspersons know how to fix it. Wrong..no Obamarats know how or want to fix it.

---

Let's face it, OObamaCRAP will not appeal to young people to buy insurance, much less even go to a website that's not a social network, unless it offers lotteries/raffles to free iPhones.

Online story: "In The Washington Post, Jonathan Zimmerman, a history professor from NYU, has written an article claiming that all of America’s problems would be soloved–GET THIS–if only we would allow Barack Obama to run for a third term!" -- Hey, professor... let's back track a sec.. it's a lot more realistic to believe we would not have today's problems had Judas 00-bama not elected been at all.

---

In the same above story: "Just one week ago, the very same newspaper ran a story predicting that if the 2012 election were held now, Mitt Romney would win the White House, not Obama." -- No wonder liberals walk around confused and in denial.

---

Why is it that liberals feel people who design plans that fail are the only ones that can fix them? How many problems in our schools have been fixed by Carter's creating the Secretary of Education cabinet seat?

Uptown..... tsk tsk... The Uptown Market Days are now going to be operating year round. Some people don't understand a good thing, and run it into the ground. Remember RiverFest? Remember the Indian Cultural Fair? The Uptown Market Days were eagerly anticipated as the weather warmed and vegetables started coming into season. Vendors and customers reacquainted themselves after a winters' hiatus. No More. Now vendors will get discouraged by the cold and doldrums of January, February, and March weather as customers roll over for an extra hour of Saturday morning sleep. You know, most thing flourish BECAUSE of the anticipation of it's beginning or return. For those who saw them, the Christmas windows at our store are a great example of anticipating somethings return. Crowds amassed Thanksgiving evening as the curtains were raised and the excitement revealed. And remember, Kirven's never opened for shoppers during that event. It was a time of family reunion.

L-E headline/story: "Top U.S. commander apologizes for fatal Afghan drone strike * Marine Gen. Joseph Dun-ford called Karzai late Thursday to express “deep regrets for the incident and any civilian casualties,” the commander’s spokesman said." -- Good grief! Judas 00-bama's influence as Apologizer-in-Chief has infiltrated the beliefs of the Generals 00-bama hasn't fired! As long as al Qaida terorist hide behind women and children, there will be tragic deaths, but that's why the leaders need to be exterminated. When has Karzai, al Qaida, or any Iraqi/Irani leader apologized for terrorists attacks on Americans, soldiers or civilians?

L-E's "Late laughs": "THAT IS the difference between Democrats and Republicans. When Republicans shut down the government, it’s on purpose.— Bill Maher" -- Yeah, and Democrats do it by inventing social programs that cannot be turned off.

L-E commentary: "It was a hallmark of the Stalin era: Fallen Soviet leaders vanished from official photographs. Nobody accuses President Obama of such subterfuge (well, nobody except for those who believe he forged his birth certificate), but a change in a longtime practice in the White House has raised questions about the integrity of images Americans see of their president. * The White House has increasingly excluded news photographers from Obama’s official events and is instead releasing images taken by in-house photographers, who are government employees. These photos often appear online and in newspapers, even though they lack the same standards of authenticity that govern those taken by photojournalists" -- You know, Judas 00-bama is concerned about surprise pictures popping up with the wrong people in them (like IRS department heads, Bill Ayers etc), but his number one focus is getting rid of video cameras and their open-microphones.

L-E's "Online Comment of the Day: "Minority crime tends to be of a more violent nature while upper class crime is done on paper and is not viewed the same, although the effects can be just as devastating. A minority or poor person whichever robs a convenience store and gets $150. Maddoff robs millions for 2 billion and is not scorned as much.” -- Well, the people that the Madoffs of the world scam are scammed because of their greed, and most people do have a sense of justice. Madoff promised huge returns versus the normal legitimate investment returns of doing business openly, and the greedy side of people lapped up his rhetoric. On the other hand, no one is sympathetic to a person who threatens the lives of themselves or people who could have been them.

The world, most of it anyway, rejoices in the denial of a new trial of a white racist supremist Michael weaver/Carothers. Now, to be fair, the courts should also deny black racist supremist Al Sharptongue coverage in the mainstream media.

For some reason, I do not think Nick Saban will be too interested in holding down the score against Auburn today.
