From the "things you learn when you're not even looking for them and make of it what you will" department: The top 10 most popular stocks in Congress: AT&T, Wells Fargo, Intel, Pfizer, Cisco, Microsoft, GE, Bank of America, P&G, and Exxon. Two things jumped out - 1 - that Bank of America is the bank that doesn't require ID's of illegal aliens to open accounts, and that former Senator John Kerry owns 7 of the top 10 stocks (no BOA, P&G or Exxon).

CBS did the right thing for the wrong reasons. They "suspended" Laura Logan and her boss for not verifying a source on a "60 Minutes" segment on Benghazi. The right reasons would have been for not going after the Benghazi travesty a year before that when the election was around the corner.

HuffPost headline: "Biden To Visit Demilitarized Zone Between North, South Korea" -- Hmmm, guess Judas 00-bama is sending Bleep Veep Biden between "ROK and a hard place".

A woman camped out to save $1,100.00 on 2 notebooks and 3 iPads for her 3 son's Christmas gifts. She opted to buy "communications" stuff instead of making a Thanksgiving meal. I'd say that family had a "communications" problem before AND after she got back home.

Online story: "Brent Pease became the scapegoat for Florida's football failure. Sunday, word spread he paid for the Gators' collapse with his job. * Pease was fired after the program's first losing season since 1979. Offensive line coach Tim Davis also was let go. * University officials confirmed the firings. * "They are both good football coaches and even better people," Muschamp said in a statement. "There have been a lot of unfortunate circumstances this year, but that is part of the game sometimes. I want to thank each of them for their contributions to the program both on and off the field." -- Shame on U of F! Putting a band-aid on when major surgery is called for. U of F could simply fire Muschamp, and ALL the other coaches would be gone in one fell swoop.

We were enjoying the lights at Callaway Saturday evening so missed the dramatics of the final seconds, especially the one that Saban got out back on the clock. Don't you know he's "second" guessing himself today?

---

Tell you what... Having missed the second half of the AU vs Alabama to have a family outing , I am watching the replay of the Iron Bowl. Forget the kick return for the winning TD... When Alabama had a 28-21 lead in the 4th quarter, and a 4th & 2 on the 12, and decided against the field goal, it became Saban's loss, not McCarron's.

The stiff arm... It's definitely a great tool and great advantage for running backs, but why should running backs be allowed to put their hand on a player's facemask

Charlie Rangel was on Fox acting concerned about the tragic commuter train wreck. Charlie Rangel doesn't about that unless the engineers union told him to get out in front of the investigation

---

Ahhhh. The real Rangel came out ... He was there to run interference for Judas O0-bama's lies about people being able to keep their old insurance.

---

CBS asked the poll question: "Do voters want less government or just one that works?" -- Talk about an oxymoronic AND moronic question.... You could answer "YES" and "NO", and be just as up-to-date for the problems that government is causing. Change the "or" to an "and" and it's a more proper question... "Do voters want less government AND one that works?" Even Judas 00-bama voters would vote "YES" on this one as they believe that if government "works", they won't have to.

Online story: "In some conservative states, same-sex couples hope their marriages will be legally recognized, if only so they may get a divorce. Gay-rights lawyers say the right to divorce is equally as important as the right to marry." -- Only in perverted America! Question: Did any of you heterosexuals enter into a marriage because it gave you a RIGHT to get a divorce?

---

L-E story: "A 15-year-old Carver High student told Columbus police he was beaten and robbed Saturday night * Taken was an Apple iPad, black and silver in color, with an estimated value of $200.00." -- There are a lot more questions that this brings up. A main one is that since Carver is a school that the MCSD provided free laptop devices to all its students...was this one?

---

McClatchy headline/story: "Healthful eating has taken a dive, poll finds * For instance, 63.4 percent of Americans surveyed this September said they were eating healthfully, compared with 67.6 percent in September of last year." -- Hmmm, could it be a simple as people tried to eat off Michelle 00-bama's meal plan, and consider it "lame duck"?

---

McClatchy story: "Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told his Egyptian counterpart Saturday that the United States is dissatisfied with a new law limiting protests in the Middle East nation and the recent arrests of Egyptian girls who demonstrated against the military-led government." -- Yeah. like Egypt is shaking in its sandals that Judas 00-bama will cross that line "drawn in the wind".

---

How appropo... The White House announced that the fixes were in for the OObamaCRAP website today but early appliers were met with error messages quickly informed them that their app could not be finished/processed.

---

Another derailed commuter train... Another one derailed going too fast into a curve as it began approaching a station stop. You know the engineers are union, but why aren't the controls backed by computer systems? Remember when trains went diesel but union contracts still made the railroad companies to keep coal shovelers on the trains & payroll.

Online headline: "Death penalty for Boston bomber a complicated question" -- Complicated? Only in the minds of a liberal (_*_).

While the L-E ran a Leonard "the" Pitts' commentary about a Muslim girl, the rest of the world got a "Pitts-iful" commentary on the "n-word". From the pen of Pitts: "The mushrooming controversies prompt two African-American NBA analysts, Charles Barkley and Michael Wilbon, to defend their usage of the N-word. And it's not just the jockocracy, either. Last week in The New York Times, celebrated social critic Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is African-American, made the old "context" argument; i.e., it's OK if we say it, but it's not OK if you say it. In defending the N-word as an "in-word" Coates noted how some women will jokingly call other women by a misogynistic term or some gay people will laughingly use a homophobic slur in talking with or about one another." -- Fact is, the Barkleys, the Wilbons, the Coates, and the Pitts are the racists for it's ambiguous stances.

---

Further along in Leonard "the" Pitts' commentary, he writes, "The N-word is unique. It was present at the act of mass kidnap that created "black America," it drove the ship to get here, signed the contracts at flesh auctions on Southern ports as mother was torn from child, love from love and self from self. It had a front-row center seat for the acts of blood, rape, castration, exclusion and psychological destruction by which the created people were kept down and in their place. The whole weight of our history dictates that word cannot be used except as an expression of contempt for African-Americans. The only difference when a Matt Barnes or Ta-Nehisi Coates uses it is that the contempt is black on black" -- What ignorance... and selective at that, and also selective at best. The African slave marketing was African run "then" and it's still active today. The Africans enslaved and brought to America "then" were tribal war captures sold by tribal leaders; now they just don't sell slaves to ship to America. Hey, Pitts, when can we expect your expose of the current slave trade?

Another McClatchy story: "The Whigs, the 19th century political party that disbanded before the Civil War over the question of slavery, is trying making a comeback as the voice of reason between embittered modern day Republicans and Democrats. * In Philadelphia, the election of Heshy Bucholz, a software engineer and first candidate to run and win as a Whig in that city in 157 years, has brought national attention to the party and spurred hundreds of new members to sign up." -- McClatchy needs a proper new slogan... how about a Minolta parody: "McClatchy... only in the minds of minutiae". I have more than 100 signed up for my Breakfast Club e-mail list alone, but that doesn't make me a political party.

Online story: "Mexican authorities set free a former teen cartel hit man on Tuesday and sent him back to the United States. * The release of Edgar Jimenez Lugo, a U.S. citizen known as "El Ponchis" or "The Cloak," comes less than three years after a Mexican court found him guilty of torturing and beheading at least four people and kidnapping three others as an operative for the South Pacific Cartel. * The teenager's age -- 14 at the time -- and his on-camera description of the slayings, brought international attention to the case. * On Tuesday, Mexican authorities said he had served his three-year sentence and had been sent back to the United States. * Rosalia Martinez de Leon, another judicial official, stressed that the teen was no longer serving time. * "He is a minor who is requesting a return to his country of origin, and so ... he is owed all the due protection so that he can find the best place to continue," she said." -- Well, at least he didn't sneak across the border and apply for entitlement services... on the other hand.. wonder which US gang will offer him the highest contract to join it?

---

L-E headline: "HEALTHCARE.GOV  * Officials: Worst tech bugs over for health care website" -- Well... in actuality, only the 'best' bugs may be over... the worst ones are the security bugs that are still very much within the OObamaCRAP programming.

Interesting scenario: Auburn beats Missouri, Duke beats FSU, Michigan State beats Ohio State this week, and we see an Auburn-Alabama repeat in the BCS. Stranger things have happened ...

---

Super low info voter's L-E "soundoff": "Republicans must either vote for jobs and a living wage or for food stamps and unemployment. You can’t have our cake and eat it, too." -- When will "these people" understand that the government cannot set the individual's true worth to an employer? I'd guess in this "employee's" case, he/she is greatly overpaid at minimum wage.

---

L-E's "Today in HIstory": " In 1859, militant abolitionist John Brown was hanged for his raid on Harpers Ferry the previous October ." -- Hey, liberals and other Obamarats.. capital punishment works! John Brown never raided another place.

---

L-E headline: "Costs for items in ‘12 Days of Christmas’ top $114,000" -- This is my least favorite, OK, I hate this song... it reverberates incessantly in redundancy for interminable lengths of times. Hey, somebody spread the word that by giving Leaping Lords, Dancing Ladies, and Milking Maids, the gift recipient is accepting slaves.

---

L-E story: "Mothers Against Drunk Driving is getting a grant from the governor’s office to promote highway safety in Georgia. * The $126,000 grant from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety is for prevention and education programs. It’s also to help fund support services to state law enforcement agencies." -- What the...? I support MADD, but it's not an organization that should be given state (or federal, for that matter) grants. Government grants are nothing but confiscated money taken from taxpayers and redistributed by government to make it seem that government cares. If government really cared, government would look for ways to not take money out of taxpayers' pockets.
