Online story: "Washington, D.C. Insurance Commissioner William P. White was dismissed from his post one day after releasing a statement that criticized President Barack Obama's proposed fix to the botched Obamacare rollout, the Washington Post reported." -- Hmmm, and Kathleen Sebelius is still working. Genderism or Racism?

Online story: "(_*_) B*ldwin's MSNBC show was pulled from the network's schedule for two weeks on Friday following the actor's latest homophobia scandal. (_*_) B*ldwin was embroiled in controversy after he was caught on tape swearing at a photographer. Most people thought he called the man a "c--ksucking f--g"; (_*_) B*ldwin denied saying the latter word, but apologized for saying the former one." -- Hmmm, I see (_*_)B*ldwin took a lesson in apologizing from Judas 00-bama; the old "I know you thought you heard what I said but what I said is not what you heard" defense. If there, no, the real apologies needed are from CRAPItal ONE for continuing (_*_)'s commercial contracts, and from MSNBC for not apologizing for bringing us a shows with an (_*_) for a host...

Online story: "NEW ORLEANS — De La Salle High School has partnered with DreamWorks Studio to build an animation and post-production studio at the school. * When it opens, students will get training in skills that will give them a leg up in the video production, digital media and software production industries. Students will be taught mobile application development, web design and how to design for various social media platforms." -- At this rate, why not just teach our kids via YouTube? Think of all the savings and hassle parents would get from not sending their kids to a brick&mortar school or having to rouse them out of bed in the mornings.

Online headline: "Redskin's player: Referee cursed at me" -- Hmmm, first, Jonathon Martin is bullied by a teammate, and now Trent Williams was cursed at by a referee... I can see the next "All-Madden" team line-up emerging as we speak.

There's an online story dedicated to the Top 10 companies who are paying workers the least. Two facts are obvious.. one is that they are non-union, and the other is that they are America's favorite places to eat and shop.... probably because more Americans can AFFORD to eat & shop at those places. Now, if the research company wants to do something useful, it will do research on which government offices and programs pay too much and waste too many tax dollars.

From the "what's wrong with this picture" department - Online story: "An 11-year-old boy was found handcuffed to his foster parents' porch with a dead chicken around his neck in North Carolina Friday. * The Union County Sheriff's Office arrested Dorian Lee Harper, 57, and Wanda Sue Larson, 57, - a local Department of Social Services supervisor, after police searched the home and found "shocking" conditions * Harper and Larson were charged with Intentional Child Abuse - Inflicting Serious Injury, False Imprisonment, and Cruelty to Animals. Larson, because of her position as a social services worker, was charged with Willful Failure to Discharge her Duty as a Public Official." -- Foster kids have already been separated from their families because of harmful environments, yet the FosterCare programs allow unmarried people become their foster children's role models? The FosterCare program has become more of a business to caregivers rather than a calling to give care. Shameful!

Online headline: "Navy cruiser back in port for investigation after drone hits ship during training" -- Hmmm, could be as simple as Judas 00-bama looking for more Admirals to eliminate?

The latest from www.barackobama/organizingforaction.com : "Hal --You won't want to miss this. President Obama is getting on the phone with top OFA supporters like you this Monday to talk about what's ahead in the fight for change -- and what we can do to help. It starts at 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, November 18th. - David Axelrod" -- Two question I'll ask if I get a chance (yeah, right) 1- How come you've re-hired political campaign coordinator Axelrod for yourself, and 2 - How come you renamed your campaign website "Organizing For Action" rather than "Organizing For America/Americans"?

There's a good and understandable reason why our prisons are disproportionately filled with black prisoners. Racism has nothing to do with it. It's the culture. And black leaders, the so called "civil rights leaders" do not want to deal with nor change it. Change means holding people accountable and responsible for their decisions and actions.

Online story: "WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – A terrifying new ‘game’ that’s already caused deaths in Syracuse, St. Louis and New Jersey is sweeping the nation, and it preys upon unsuspecting people walking the streets, anywhere. * A recent report from New York-based CBS 2 shed light on the growing trend, displaying unsettling footage of teens participating in this game – which goes by the name ‘Knockout’ – and involves randomly targeting passersby, with the ultimate goal being to knock them out with one punch as they walk by. * Video surveillance shows Santiago walking in an alleyway in broad daylight, and just as he’s about to pass a pack of teenagers, one launches the fatal, knockout blow. * And what’s the point? * “For the fun of it,” one teen said in the video" -- "a pack of teenagers"? This should be the death blow to political correctness! Calling a gang of hate filled street thugs a "pack of teens". Where's Al Sharpton, Judas 00-bama, and the NAACP calling for cultural reform!

Just once, I'd love to hear a mainstream media reporter ask Judas 00-bama why he continues to keep his high school and college records and travel documents sealed. He's in his last possible term so he can't justify the info as 'dangerous' to his future political plans, so why the lack of transparency you promised us in the beginning?

I just heard a horror story. A jury convicted a man of driving his boat under the influence of alcohol, but found him not guilty for the deaths of two children he killed in the accident. This is not justice... it's a jury with people not willing to sacrifice their time and effort to sort things out and bring closure to a tragic situation. I pray that the jurors who caved to their personal interests to never get a good night's sleep again. None of the parties involved are known to me (at least I think not), but I do know how I'd feel if some drunk killed my children, and a jury was to self-serving to stay focused, to review the situation 'one or two or three more times' to get their verdict right.

L-E headline: "New CSU program has professors living in student housing" -- Good grief! Parents have enough concern for their children being herded into co-ed dorm situations, but now CSU is throwing their children's professors into the mix?
--
An out-of-the-loop voter's L-E "soundoff": "The next thing you know, Comrade Obama will be telling us that if we like our body shop and mechanic, we can keep them." -- Hmmm, but wait a week, and Judas 00-bama will "clarify" that be saying he meant that only if you were using a unionized body shop & mechanic.
---
Stupidly low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " Sarah Palin trashes the government but wants to peddle her book on a military base." -- As Reagan said to Carter, "Well, there you go again".. Another Obamarat pulling facts out of the air to make a point he cannot back. Of course the military wants to hear from Palin; she supports the military while Judas 00-bama does not.
---
L-E headline: "Death toll now 5 after tornadoes hit Illinois" -- Sadly, maybe even sick, is the thought that there were probably more killed in Chicago's South Side by guns this weekend. haven't seen a report so far, as media has been focused on the tornado.

Two women in the Sheriffs Department want a judge to make them the only candidates considered for the next two Captain promotions. I think the judge would be wise to let those two simply fight each other to show which one should even be considered in the future.

L-E's "Online comment of the day": “The country needed JFK, RFK, LBJ, and MLK, Jr. to get the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act passed into law. It is a good thing we had each one of them just when they were need the most.” — From Joe Fisher on “JFK Assassination 50 Year Later: A Civil Rights Legacy” -- You know, it was the Republicans' votes that passed the legislation. It's a shame how wrongly mainstream media reports history.

L-E headline/story: "UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA * School fights to protect trademarks despite costs * The school owns the rights to 36 different words, phrases and logos, including “U of A,” “Bama” and “Alabama.” -- "owns the rights to 36 words...including "Alabama"? -- What arrogance! The citizens of Alabama "own' that. And claiming to "own" the letter "A" which is one of 26 letters in our AlphAbet. Good Grief.. the University of Alabama doesn't even own the font of the "A". In fact, the Atlanta Braves uses the same font for the "A" it uses. Seems to me, the University of Alabama is wasting tax dollars pursuing law suits. And as I recall, UGA lawyers tried to copyright the "G" it uses, even shares it with the Green Bay Packers (and several other teams/schools), and the court system rightly laughed at'em.
---
L-E headline: "Education officials draft plan to fix problems at Selma schools" -- This is the number one problem of government entities... They think the ones responsible for creating the problem will actually be able to fix it. This doesn't happen in private businesses because inefficient businesses go out of business.
If we privatized all the government programs, most, if not all, would soon die off, and America would be better off.
---
L-E headline/story: "Tybee Island to install license plate scanners * TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. — License plate scanners will soon track cars coming and going from Tybee Island." -- Excuse me, but isn't this somewhat of an illegal search of personal property? No, it's an outright illegal search! Now this is something I could support the ACLU jumping on.

Last week, some reporter brought attention to the fact there weren't so many SEC teams in the top ranks as some other years. Probably true, but only because SEC teams knock each other off when other comference teams cannot. In the Top 11 teams there are 5 from the SEC and 1 has no losses, 2 have 1 loss, and 2 have 2 losses. When reporters vote for teams basically by their won-loss records the SEC will have fewer at the end of the season that they had in the first poll which reporters voted on the teams by potential. When our Top 11 teams have a combined W-L record of 45 and 6 at this stage of the season, the conference victories are scant for the rest.
