Online headline: "Kanye West calls himself an 'astronaut' -- Hmmm, well I don't know about being an "as-tro-naut", but I think the first syllable is a pretty accurate description no one will argue with.

Online story: The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights group, did some digging and found that President Barack Obama has used "gay" 272 times since taking office in 2009, far more than any of his recent predecessors: Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. * Only Clinton comes closest to Obama, having used "gay" 216 times during his two terms, says a new report from the advocacy group. * Neither George H.W. Bush nor Reagan used "gay" in any of their presidential remarks." -- You know, the only questions I have is when was the word "gay" first used as a slur word for homosexuals, and why the homosexual world doesn't criticize people for using the "g-word"?

---

Online story: "WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — A suburban New York police chief who taught sex-abuse awareness classes to children has been charged with downloading child pornography." -- Hmmm, Guess he's OK in Governor Cuomo's opinion since he's not a conservative.

---

Online headline: "Gmail Went Down And Everyone Panicked" -- Hmmm, did anybody see what the NSA was up to at the time?

Online story: "LOS ANGELES (AP) — A decade after landing on Mars, the rover Opportunity is still chugging along. * Sure, it has some wear and tear. One of its six wheels and two instruments stopped working long ago. It has an arthritic joint. Its flash memory occasionally suffers a senior moment." -- Wow.. 10 years ago, Bush launched this, and though a little bit worse for wear, it's still functioning... Hmmm .. OObamaCRAP crashed on day 1...wonder what OObamaCRAP will be like in 10 years?

---

L-E story: "NEW ROADS, LA. — The City Council has approved a five-year contract with Republic Services for residential trash pickup that is expected to cut monthly fees for the city's 1,800 customers by 50 cents. * As part of the deal for twice-a-week collection, which was approved this past week, New Roads residents will have recycling service available and receive 95-gallon trash bins at no additional charge." -- Hmmm.. another city with twice-a-week garbage pick-up... I recall Mayor Obamalinson's campaign to end such locally has been based on Columbus is about the only city still doing such. Now we have a city that does such AND saves the taxpayers 50-cents a month, about what Mayor Obamalinson says the city would only save per month by eliminating the second pickup.

---

Online story: "STOCKHOLM, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Newly crowned Norwegian world chess champion Magnus Carlsen took just nine moves to checkmate Bill Gates in a speed game to be aired later on Friday." -- Hmmm, just nine moves... that's probably about right.. but I think I could get Gates to "crash" in 8 or less keystokes... that's about par for a Windows app

---

Online headline: "Obama backpedals on marijuana" -- Hmmm... I guess Judas 00-Barnum realizes that if marijuana gets fully legalized, thus decriminalized, then there is no reason for his past marijuana related arrests to be kept sealed by some judge...

---

Online headline: "MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Had To Interrupt An NSA Discussion With Breaking Bieber News" -- Hmm.. Judas 00-Barnum affects Chris Matthews, but I guess we now know what makes tingles run up Andrea Mitchell's leg...

---

Online news: "A prosecutor who helped put an upstate New York gym teacher behind bars for molesting an 8-year-old boy said he was stunned by the lack of cooperation he got from the Matthew LoMaglio's colleagues, 22 of whom wrote letters to the judge supporting him. * the process of bringing him to justice for the crimes was complicated by the victim's fear and the unwillingness of other teachers at Rochester School 19 to cooperate with the investigation" -- In a word... union. You know, belonging to something should make you proud...

It's bad enough that even with conscious efforts to make computers and cellphones "secure", there are areas of our lives that are far more unsecured to the threats of hackers, and predators. Little security is built into your SmartTV's or SmartAppliances. Buy such carefully.

Online headline: "Boehner Likes His Wine And Cigarettes Too Much To Be President Of The United States" -- You know, mainstream media would make Boehner's hibits an issue, yet avoid such about Judas 00-Barnum's preference for craft beer brewed within the White House, and his preference for marijuana. Come to think of it, I'm curious, also, at how 00-Barnum smokes anything on the White House grounds.. smoking is banned on federal properties maintained by the National Parks department.

---

Online headline: "U.S. Military Dress Code To Now Allow Muslim Friendly Beards And Turbans" -- Excuse me, but does anyone in the Judas 00-Barnum administration, mainstream media for that matter, know the definition of "uniform"? It's called an "uniform" BECAUSE thet are suppose to look alike for identifying a group! Good grief, before long the military will have separate fitness standards for different groups... Oooops, it's already happened.

Online story: "TOPEKA, Kan. - A man who provided sperm to a lesbian couple in response to an online ad is the father of a child born to one of the women and must pay child support, a Kansas judge ruled Wednesday. * Topeka resident William Marotta had argued that he had waived his parental rights and didn't intend to be a father. Shawnee County District Court Judge Mary Mattivi rejected that claim, saying the parties didn't involve a licensed physician in the artificial insemination process and thus Marotta didn't qualify as a sperm donor * The Kansas Department for Children and Families filed the case in October 2012 seeking to have Marotta declared the father of a child born to Jennifer Schreiner in 2009. The state was seeking to have Marotta declared the child's father so he can be held responsible for about $6,000 in public assistance the state provided, as well as future child support." -- You know.. the solution is for Kansas to remove the child from the tending parent and let a married couple adopt said child... win-win for every responsible entity.

---

Online story: "North Carolina-based Civitas Media, a national newspaper chain with nearly 100 publications and 1.6 million readers is considering building “state-by-state databases” on concealed weapons permit holders, according to an internal e-mail." -- You know, the NRA and other gunowner's rights groups should acquire the names, photos, and addresses of all the principals of Civitas Media, and run a campaign to advertise who they are, where they live, and that they don't have guns for personal protection. I imagine there's a whole element of criminals who would love to have that info.

Following Benghazi, Hillary announced all to quickly that she was "too tired" to go on air on the Sunday talk shows that weekend. Hmmm, doesn't that sorta undermine her claim of whether she should be the one most qualified to answer "that 3:00 AM phone call"?

---

Latest from www.barackobama/organizingforaction.com - Hmm got a one question survey from Judas 00-Barnum's spinmeister asking "what would you like to hear in 00-Barnum's State of the Union" speech... I responded, "I would like to hear him say he was listening to me and would tell me the truth about matters in the future". I got a "thank you for your support" back. Just proves no one in his administration is listening to any one, and he doesn't know what the truth is.

Hmmm... "Ultimate Dodgeball"...great man-cave sport entertainment on Fox Sport South. Check it out!

Online story: "An increasing number of electric-vehicle driving employees at Silicon Valley companies are finding it hard to access car-charging stations at work, creating incidents of "charge rage" among drivers. * Peter Graf, chief sustainability officer for German software company SAP, says the company's 16 charging stations are now not nearly enough for the 61 employees who drive electric vehicles. * Graf says cars are getting unplugged while charging, creating animosity between employees." -- Guess the "nimby" (for any libs reading, "nimby" means "not in my back yard") effect has taken place in California workplaces...

---

Latest from Sanford Bishop: "As many of you know, in September of 2013 I was diagnosed with cancer in my neck and throat. After an intensive regimen of chemotherapy and subsequent surgery, I am now cancer free with no need for further treatment! To God be the glory!" -- Hmmm, the Democrats don't want God in our schools, but pretty well demand He be with them in the hospital.....

---

More from Sanford Bishop: "Fifty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson called on our nation to launch an ‘unconditional war on poverty.’ Today, we must continue to fight the war on poverty—and we must win! -- 50 years... How can any sane voter.. American citizen or not, listen to this plea with any expectation that Democrats have the answer?

---

Online story: "Attorney General Eric Holder says the Obama administration is planning to roll out regulations soon that would allow banks to do business with legal marijuana sellers. * During an appearance Thursday at the University of Virginia, Holder said it is important from a law enforcement perspective to enable places that sell marijuana to have access to the banking system so they don't have large amounts of cash lying around.

* Currently, processing money from marijuana sales puts federally insured banks at risk of drug racketeering charges. * Because of the threat of criminal prosecution, financial institutions often refuse to let marijuana-related businesses open accounts." -- Hmmm.. I guess the toaster will become extint.. now when you open an account, some teller will ask if you'd like a 'free reefer' with that..

---

Online headline: "NASA launches newest communication satellite" -- Hmmm, NASA or NSA? Guess Hillary and Judas 00-Barnum are asking, "What difference does it make?"

---

Judas 00-Barnum is pointing his finger again, but still doesn't bother to look at the mirror to face his #1 problem..himself. He's blaming conservative media for making him look like a caricature. Sorry, Judas 00-Barnum, even the best caricature artist can only work with your real image when creating a caricature portrait of you. That's your nose, not Pinocchio's.

You know, since we are requested not to smile when getting our driver's licenses , and I'm pretty sure not many people smile for mug shots, I feel pretty confident that we could thwart facial recognition software if we simply smile when we get near to security cameras.

I tell you what, if new Superintendent David Lewis does nothing else for this community, I do like that he's having the MCSD Board retreat at a Columbus hotel rather than at one out-of-town. Both options are pretty much a waste of tax dollars, but at least those tax dollars will be circulated here in Columbus rather than elsewhere.

Slightly miscalculated L-E "soundoff": " Arm students on campus … are you crazy? I would have shot at least three liberal professors had I been bearing arms." -- Correction,, none would have to be shot... as soon as liberal professors saw guns on the front row of their classrooms, the lesson plan would change.

---

From the "why is it" department - L-E story: " A Phenix City man died Friday after he suffered cardiac arrest while driving on J.R. Allen Parkway at Gateway Road. * Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan identified the man as John L. Johnson, 56. * He was pronounced dead of natural causes at the scene at 5:30 p.m. No autopsy will be performed in his death." -- "no autopsy will be performed"? Why is it that when street thugs blown away with guns shots get sent to Atlanta for autopsies, but when a non-physician-attended person dies of a presumed heart attack, the coroner takes it at face value? Could it not have been a caustic interaction of prescription drugs?

How about these cold snaps! Guess it's God's way to let Algore know that man is not in charge of the weather or the environment.
