You know, most businesses know that it's cheaper in the long run to hire someone to do something right the first time than it is to have to hire someone to come in and fix it later. Sorta like having to make a change in a construction job... it ends up that you pay more to alter the primary plans than it would have been to have planned it proper to begin with. Locally, we have seen vivid examples of waste involving the construction of our Civic Center, Natatorium, the "high speed" rail system, and who can forget all the cost overruns MCSD SPLOST projects and Whiterwater have had? 00bamaCare will top the $3,000.00 toilet seats and $1,200.00 hammers of past government military contracts.

Online story: "Enrollment in health insurance plans on the troubled Obamacare website was very small in the first couple of days of operation, with just 248 Americans signing up, according to documents released on Thursday by a U.S. House of Representatives committee.* the documents, which are labeled "war room" notes and appear to be summaries of issues with the problematic website beginning on Oct. 2, indicate a mere six enrollments had occurred by that morning - the day after the website was launched and almost immediately crashed. * "High capacity on the website, direct enrollment not working," the Oct. 2 notes said. By later that day, "approximately 100" enrollments had taken place. *"As of yesterday, there were 248 enrollments," said the notes from the morning of Oct. 3." -- Hmmm, strangely, Secretary Sebelius said she had no documented figures to give to the House Committee. Stranger still is I know longer have to check to see if I have spelled he name correctly any more.

Online story: "President Barack Obama on Thursday pledged an aggressive expansion of U.S. efforts to draw foreign investment by clearing away red tape and having U.S. diplomats court investors who want to break into the market." -- Sounds more like Judas 00-bama is staring to beg. Why does he think more foreign investors will bring jobs to America, when America investors are investing in foreign countries to escape tax tyranny here?

Online story: "Joe Biden was almost replaced as President Obama's 2012 VP candidate, a new book claims. * writers Mark Halperin and John Heilemann claim that many of the president's top aides wanted Hillary Clinton to be his running mate instead. * William Daley, Obama's chief of staff at the time, confirmed to the New York Times that he was pushing the idea. * “I was vocal about looking into a whole bunch of things, and this was one of them,” he said. * Ultimately though, the campaign decided that the switch-up wasn't politically worth it. It's not clear whether or not Obama was privy to the plans." -- :It's not ctear whether or not Obama was privy to the plans"? Surely Judas 00-bama's not going to claim reading it in a book was the first he knew of this...Nothing, absolutely NOTHING goes on at the White House without it originating with 00-bama.

HuffPost headline: "Drop In U.S. Preterm Birth Rate Is Good News For American Mothers (Unless You're From The South" -- Hmmm, things are better "unless you're from the South"? Hmmm looking at the data, it appears that babies in the New England area have the lowest such rate, and babies in the South indeed have a higher rate. Could it be that babies in the South are just faster developers and look forward to being raised in the South?

---

HuffPost headline: "Ellen DeGeneres Dresses Up As Nicki Minaj For Halloween ... And It's Pretty Amazing" -- Hmmm, Julianne Hough just got blitzed for dressing like 'Crazy Eyes" of "Orange is the New Black", but it's OK for Ellen Degenerate to mock Nicki Minaj. Hmmm, maybe it's because Minaj's outfit really did make Degenerate's butt look big.

---

Online headline: "Israeli Strike Hits Russian Missiles Shipment In Syria" -- Hey Judas 00-bama... this is how you cross a line drawn in the sand!

---

Since atheists are so sure that God does not and has not ever existed, and there is no afterlife for those with moral fiber and faith, how about requiring all death case juries be made up of atheists exclusively, so death sentences will be issued without personal moral beliefs clouding reasonable doubt.

Online story: "Mohamed Elibiary, a senior Dept. of Homeland Security advisor, tweeted on Thursday to a person he was arguing with that, America is “an Islamic country”. * Elibiary said in response in arguing with a concerned U.S. citizen, “America and yes, I do consider the United States of America an Islamic country with an islamically compliant constitution. Move On!” * Elibiary, not only says that America is “an Islamic country” but that he also continues to argue that the Muslim Brotherhood is comparable to Christian evangelicals, despite the crack-down and persecution of Christians in Egypt and in other regions, by the Muslim Brotherhood." -- Hmmm, maybe Judas 00-bama will say today that he didn't know about this until he read it in The Breakfast Club. Gotcha, when has Judas told the triuth about anything?

---

Interesting thought: Since Columbus retirees and employees have their own medical clinic, will that insurance be 00bamaCare compliant, and since everyone is guaranteed equal medical access, can Columbus taxpayers use it as well?

---

Lois Lerner, yeah, the self proclaimed innocent IRS gal who was 'allowed' to retire with pension & benefits, has been found out to have been illegally sending private conservative group info to the FEC. On top if that, the FEC was requesting the info on specific Conservative groups. So much for a couple of low level 'rogue agents'.

---

Well, trick or treaters at the White House will get a first hand experience with Judas 00-bama's program promises. When the White House started sending out invitations, the dried fruit he's passing out now was fresh.

Online story: "In December, the final primary lead smelter in the United States will close * The Herculaneum (Missouri) smelter is currently the only smelter in the United States which can produce lead bullion from raw lead ore * The lead bullion produced in Herculaneum is then sold to lead product producers, including ammunition manufactures for use in conventional ammunition components such as projectiles, projectile cores, and primers * "Doe Run" made significant efforts to reduce lead emissions from the smelter, but in 2008 the federal Environmental Protection Agency issued new National Ambient Air Quality Standards for lead that were 10 times tighter than the previous standard. Given the new lead air quality standard, Doe Run made the decision to close the Herculaneum smelter" -- Hmm, now the Department of Homeland Security buying those 1,600,000,000,000 round of ammo on the open market make a lot more sense. It has driven the market price up, and created a market shortage, that will now dry up altogether. Knowing the DHS, it'll get a moratorium on importing lead ammo on the bases of lead poisoning. Must be that Muslim Senior Advisor you read about earlier who was hired by Judas 00-bama.....

Liberal squawker Juan Williams finally said yesterday on Fox that Judas 00-bama is a liar. He didn't come to that conclusion until the Washington Post gave 00-bama 4 out of 5 possible Pinnochio noses in its evaluation of the facts as 00-bama sees/speaks them.

---

Is it just me, or does it deem strange that auto makers/dealers are still pushing 2013 models instead of 2014 ones? It's November as of today.

---

The relaxing of the use of personal electronics on airplanes is farcical... you still can't use them to make calls . Is that because the airlines have given concession rights to other businesses.

---

Judas 00-bama has his legacy akin to Geo Bush41 saying, "Read my lips, no new taxes". 00-bama's is a bit more complicated, you had to be on the right side of his face to see that side of his lips say, " no new insurance if you like your current policy", while saying "bend over" on the other side

---

A California newspaper says it's not going to print "Redskins" in its sports section when reporting NFL games. Hmmm, maybe the Washington papers, for historical accuracy, should rename the San Francisco team the 69ers until this petty word game runs its course.

---

Another of Judas 00-bama's "green" solar companies, Abound Solar, has bankrupted leaving taxpayers on the hook for $70,000,000.00 PLUS the clean up of the factory and its toxic waste.... Toxic waste? Since when is a company that produces toxic waste considered a "green company". Well, I guess toxic waste is sorta "green" when it glows

L-E story: "The city’s new Recycling Facility and Sustainability Center is all but completed, with workers putting final touches on the 54,000-square-foot facility near the Pine Grove Landfill. * The $8.5 million facility, which will officially open on Dec. 11, will allow the city to handle more than the 2,800 tons of recyclables it currently produces at its Victory Drive facility, Public Works Director Pat Biegler said. * “Last year, we made $250,000 offrecycling,” she said. “We could be looking at making $2.5 million or more in the future.” -- Hmmm, recycling netted $250,000.00 last year. That's a significant number.. it's the same one Mayor Obamalinson spouted out that eliminating the second garbage pick up would save the City. Now we can eat our cake and have it too!

At this point, is a general being assigned to Afghanistan a promotion or demotion in Judas 00-bama's eyes?

L-E story: " Independent Electrical Contractors Inc. of Georgia is now an approved vendor for the Workforce Investment Act. As a WIA vendor, IEC is able to provide a financing option for underemployed and dislocated workers to take advantage of IEC’s Electrical Apprenticeship training program, and increase the quality of the workforce in the electrical industry. Through WIA, IEC intends to open more doors to the electrical industry for those who may not have a door readily accessible to them" -- Great... it's not that we already have major problems with government efficiency, now we will have government electrical projects giving first choice to minimum waged trainees.

L-E's "Thought for Today": “God give me strength to face a fact though it slay me.” — Thomas Huxley, English biologist (1825-1895 -- Hmmm, no wonder Obamarat politicians want to eliminate God from the picture.

---

L-E headline: "WHY SPY ON ALLIES?" -- Hmmm, could it be simply that our traditional allies are not the same as Judas 00-bama's?

---

L-E story: "A tunnel designed to smuggle drugs from Tijuana, Mexico, to San Diego is equipped with lighting, ventilation and an electric rail system, U.S. authorities said Thursday, making it one of the most sophisticated secret passages discovered along the U.S.-Mexico border." -- Hmmm, guess San Diego is glad they don't have Mayor Obamalinson.. she'd probably say this was just part of her "high" & "speed" rail system.

---

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — Terrorists “found a second chance” to thrive in Iraq, the nation’s prime minister said Thursday in asking for new U.S. aid to beat back a bloody insurgency that has been fueled by the neighboring Syrian civil war and the departure of American troops from Iraq two years ago." -- How can that be? Judas 00-bama told us it was over... Maybe we should ask him to define "over" from the other side of his mouth?

---

L-E story: " Rush hour traffic was diverted from the northbound lanes of Veterans Parkway after five vehicles collided Thursday afternoon, Columbus police said * The five vehicles included an SUV, van and motorcycle" -- The "five"? I count 3 mentioned, but two left out.Guess who the byline said wrote this story? That's right,,,Hasn't Ben Wright... ever. This is why he being selected to write about the death of Abbott Turner II was so wrong.

L-E story: "ATLANTA — An 11-yearold boy is hospitalized after he was shot during a gun battle in southwest Atlanta. * Atlanta police Officer John Chafee says the child was shot in the shoulder around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday on Coleman Street * Investigators say they believe the child was an innocent bystander and wounded as two groups of people exchanged gunfire in the street. * The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that after the child was shot, his brother carried him a few houses down the street to his home, where a family member called 911. * The child was taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. Cha-fee tells WSB-TV that witnesses reported the suspects may have fled on bicycles." -- So many issues.. where to start? Out at 8:30 on a school night without parents is a good one... maybe schools will start making students sleep in at the schools so the total nannyism project can be complete. Then there's what would have happened if this happened in January, and the kid's parents hadn't enrolled in 00bamaCare, and thirdly, bicycle riding gangs.. are they too young to have driver's licenses but not guns?
