Algore and his friends are desperate... now libs are claiming, for various reasons, that 'global warming' is going to be the end of bacon, bananas, maple syrup, beer, apples, wine, peanut butter, chiltepin pepper, speckled lettuce, Kentucky bourbon, cold-water fish, agave cactus, strawberries, oysters, yellow watermelon, honey, and chocolate. I'm not kidding.. of course there's a good, no real good side of this... most moderate libs will look at this list, finally admit Algore is a true wacko, and vote conservative in the future. Moderate libs are not going to give up their wine!

Online quote source: "I want a world without war, a world without insanity. I want to see people do well. I don't even think it's as much as what I want for myself. It's more what I want for the people around me. That's what I want. - Tom Cruise" -- What an ego... All he wants is sycophants surrounding him. What's this guy ever done (other than live most regular guys fantasy lives) that's genuinely helped people? I'm not talking about 'photo-op' things, but reaching into his heart and wallet when the cameras are rolling. POS!

Online headline: "New 'Duck Dynasty' Episodes Will Include Phil Robertson Despite Suspension" -- Quite righteous, A&E... NOT! Looks like A&E is exercising its religious belief in "the money". Hope "Duck Commander" buys up ad space, and has Phil Robertson point out the hypocrisies of A&E.

---

Duck Dynasty ... If the Robertson's are truly a close knit family, in unison (and unity), the rest of the family should just walk out on A&E without further ado. Just blocked A&E from my channel surfing access.

Online story: "As if things weren't bad enough for "60 Minutes," the newsmagazine has now been given a prize nobody wants: Poynter's "Error of the Year" award, which it won for its disastrously botched story on the Benghazi attacks." -- Talk about coincidence.. the White House won that award for the same Benghazi error last year!, and with any luck, Hillary will win that award in 2016 for Benghazi, too!

Online story: "OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A federal judge granted an injunction Friday that prohibits the government from enforcing the federal health care law's requirement that insurance coverage include access to the morning-after pill and similar contraceptives on almost 200 religious organizations that have filed a class-action lawsuit to block the mandate. * The preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Timothy DeGiusti will prevent the government from enforcing the mandate as the religious groups' lawsuit makes its way through the legal system" -- Rumor has it that Judas 00-bama has gone ballistic, claiming DeGuisti isn't the president so how can he change his law...

Online headline: "Harry Reid Diagnosed As 'Exhausted' By Doctors" -- Here's my "second opinion".. Personally, I find his exhausting!

Online story: "NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Gunfire hit three U.S. military aircraft trying to evacuate American citizens in a remote region of South Sudan that on Saturday became a battle ground between the country's military and renegade troops, officials said. Four U.S. service members were wounded in the attack in the same region where gunfire downed a U.N. helicopter the day before." -- Hmmm. I guess when you don't cross the line you've drawn for one Muslim country, no Muslim country respects you.

---

In retrospect, 1959 may eventually be recorded as the worst year in United States history....the economic damage to this country caused by 1959 dwarfs the Great Depression, the Civil War, Vietnam, and both WW's. Just think about where we'd be if Congress had not voted for Hawaii statehood.

Online headline: "Utah Gay Marriage Ban Struck Down As Unconstitutional" -- What pomposity some federal judges have! It's bad enough when judges play god with our Constitution, but it's unbelievable when federal judges rule against God's laws.

Online headline: "Obama Family Headed To Luxurious Rental In Hawaii For Vacation" -- If the Obama's take up a supporter's offer to let them rent out their vacation property, shouldn't the rental property owner pay for all the security updates that are made to that property to protect the Obama's?

Online headline: "FLINT, MICH. — Flint's tallest building is set for demolition. * The 19-story Genesee Towers is scheduled to come down on Sunday. The plan is for the building to collapse within its own footprint. * Uptown Reinvestment Corp. bought the downtown structure from the city for $1." * Hmm, the "test of the story" is the fun part: "The city of Flint is making a last-ditch effort to avoid paying the $8 million Genesee Towers legal judgment that officials say would be a huge burden on taxpayers. * The case dates to 2004, when the city condemned the 19-story building in downtown Flint. * The city and the building’s owners agreed to enter into arbitration over the property and its worth in 2006. The arbitrator’s decision in 2007 awarded the Vemulapallis more than $6 million, including legal fees, but reduced by the cost of repairs, according to court documents. * City officials appealed, arguing the arbitrator exceeded his scope of authority in reaching the decision. * The case was appealed multiple times, until the Court of Appeals ruled in December that there was no error in the arbitration award. " -- Hmmm, Flint is looking at an $8 Million dollar bill, and is selling the same property for $1.00. Flint must my a relative of Mayor Obamalinson running the city. Columbus is swapping City green space and cash to a local developer for land abutting the 13th Street Bridge which could be, and should be, acquired by the state by eminent domain. This action in Flint rivals (but doesn't exceed) a past Council's decision to pay $11,000,000.00 to the railroad company for the track bed the railroad was about to lose anyway to abandonment.

Online story: "The national headquarters of the Machinists union is forcing a vote on the revised 777X contract extension offer from Boeing. * local leadership of Puget Sound-area IAM District 751, which declined to put the new offer to a membership vote, made clear Saturday it will continue to oppose the new offer. * “Because of the massive take-aways, the Union is adamantly recommending members reject this offer,” a message on the District 751 website said. * Boeing has previously said that a vote to accept the revised offer would mean that Everett gets to assemble the new 777X and that the jet’s giant composite wing would be fabricated in a Boeing facility nearby." -- You know.. recently, the Sea-Tac area voted for a $15.00 per hour minimum wage for hospitality workers in the area, and Brazil just canceled a $4.5 billion dollar contract with Boeing, and now the local union leaders don't want the Boeing offer that would keep union jobs open rather than going to a right-to-work state. The Sea-Tac area will be dealt a horrific blow, but I sincerely hope the local Machinist Union votes it down. I sincerely think union leadership needs to have its head handed back to them.

If you use the same ObamaCare logic for car purchases , ... think about that... not every one wants the same model or options or seating/luggage capacity .. it would be a nightmare and would kill the used car market for preexisting models/options.

What is "too invasive " for the NSA to have access to civilian citizens? I'll let you know as soon as I see what's on Judas 00-bama's and Bill Clinton's phones.

---

Don't believe any plus retail sales that Judas 00-bama's spinmeisters come out promoting as a sign the economy is rebounding. A whole lot of that spending is gonna be with hacked/fraudulent cards, and neither stores nor consumers will benefit.

---

Now I will reveal my 3 main economic recovery indicators: wall-to-wall semis in & out of Atlanta, increases in men's Jockey underwear sales, and Johnson & Murphey making new men's styles in size 14. Don't believe any other prognostications.

Online story: "The White House argued at the Supreme Court that the insurance-purchase mandate was not only constitutional but essential to the law's success, while refusing Republican demands to delay or repeal it. But late on Thursday, with only four days to go before the December enrollment deadline, the Health and Human Services Department decreed that millions of Americans are suddenly exempt. * Individuals whose health plans were canceled will now automatically qualify for a "hardship exemption" from the mandate. If they can't or don't sign up for a new plan, they don't have to pay the tax. They can also get a special category of ObamaCare insurance designed for people under age 30." -- Hmmm, when is a law not a law? ....... When it jeopardizes liberal politicians' re-election bids.

---

Latest from www.barackobama/organizingforaction.com : "Hal -- If you know anyone in Georgia looking to get health insurance on the new marketplace, make sure they know this: Monday, December 23rd, is the last chance to sign up for a plan to make sure you're covered on January 1st." -- Hey, no fear... it's just a matter what you want to be covered in... debt or excrement.

---

How come Judas 00-bama's only plan to help the poverty base is to make the successful poor?

---

Can't wait to see what direction the Urban League of Columbus takes with its new leader. Let's pray she's a visionary and even handed.

You know, the retail industry may have to come up with a new name for the Friday after Thanksgiving... How about "Black-eye Friday"? With the number of families that had plans ripped apart by stores opening on Thanksgiving, plus the number of hacked credit cards that consumers have to deal with....

---

Speaking of situations that a new name would be appropriate, how about IR-meSS? The IR-meSS is doing business with contractors that owe half-a-billion dollars in back taxes.. The next time an invoice/contract is suppose yo be paid, why doesn't the IR-meSS just send them a credit against their tax debts?

A new "study" suggests we pay kids to eat healthy at school... Huh? Why not just offer healthy food, and let who's hungry eat, and those who aren't, not eat?

L-E story: " More than half of the elected leaders serving Columbus in local or state offices violated a Georgia ethics law this year, according to state records. * Among the 44 local and state officials serving Columbus, 24 of them (55 percent) filed required documents late or not at all this year, according to the Ledger-Enquirer’s review of records kept by the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission, formerly known as the Georgia Ethics Commission." -- I'm not so sure politicians filing full financial reports is always the best thing for transparency.. Having such records open to the public will also show the lobbyist or political manipulators who would be most susceptible to being influenced by an outsider. We've already had one such politico throwing a tantrum at school board votes because he claims to influence 6 of the nine, and he isn't getting his way. Now, the campaign disclosures should be monitored closely and often. Perhaps limiting any campaign donations to only a 12 month period prior to the candidates next general election on such a job would be good for all.

Extremely low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " I support the NSA. If you aren’t doing anything wrong, whatcha’ got to worry about?" -- Hmmm, and that was the attitude of the different cultures when Hitler was picking them off a group at a time. Other groups were comforted that he wasn't after them.... yet. Of course, when he went after new groups, those groups soon discovered there was no one left to come to their defense and help. Sorta like cattle being lured by "free" food into the slaughter pits. Hmmm, sorta like OObamaCRAP..

L-E story: " A 21-year-old Columbus man lost his sweat pants and a $150 pair of Air Jordan tennis shoes after 15 people attacked him early Saturday at 25th Avenue and Alford Street, police said." -- Heh heh heh... now the one who got the shoes will have to constantly look over his shoulder to see how many of the other 14 are following him.

L-E story: " ATLANTA — Dozens of cities and counties across Georgia are authorized to collect money through a lodging tax on hotel and motel guests in their area, but state officials say they are unable to provide the total amount generated annually through the program or account for how every dollar has been spent due to incomplete reporting by local governments who can sometimes take years to file the reports." -- This doesn't read right.... when my bride and I were running a business, we collected, reported, and paid the state & local sales taxes to the state Department of Revenue every month by the 19th. There is a record of who paid or didn't and how much was paid. Any report to the contrary is false.

Curious.. a local shopping center anchor store is making donations to "Make*A*Wish" for each "stamped" letter to Santa dropped off at their store location. Why are postage stamps required?

Dusty Nix is rambling on about Georgia political history... what's he care since he lives in Alabama, and there's plenty to write about over there.

L-E headline: "Obama tries for uninterrupted Hawaii vacation" -- Hmmm, it might not be such a bad trade-off if he promises not to return for work.
