Online story: "Political consultant Noah Bryson Mamet, whom President Barack Obama has nominated to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Argentina, admitted that he has never actually been to that country during his Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing Thursday. * Mamet bundled at least $500,000 for Obama's reelection campaign, according to the Center for Public Integrity. He served on the Obama-Biden National Finance Committee for the 2012 campaign." -- Once again, here's an example of bribery being demonstrated by giving a heavy donor a taxpayer funded ceremonial job. This is just plain ordinary graft/bribery in action, and this must be stopped.

The criminal investigation of the IRS scandals of refusing to confirm 501 (c) conservative groups status in a timely manner has ended. This was an investigation headed up by a maxxed-out Judas 00-Barnum donor, and at least 41 of the affected groups were never interviewed . Hmmm.. does that sound like the ' no stone unturned' and transparent investigation Judas 00-Barnum declared would be his course of action?

Online story: "A person is in custody after attempting to climb the White House fence on Friday afternoon, NBC and CNN report.* According to NBC, a Secret Service official said the person was carrying two bags, which officers on the scene declared as "suspicious." -- Hmmm.. maybe a couple bags of "donations" so he could get appointed to some ambassadorship? Either that or the guys lucky the Park Police didn't do a "Miriam Carey" on him.

Online story: "Several House Republicans have introduced a proposal that would require food stamp recipients to show photo identification when making purchases -- a move they say is necessary to prevent fraud in the program that aids 1 in 7 Americans." -- Of course it makes sense but Democrat campaigns, with backup from mainstream media, will make this look like another "stupid Republican ... trick". My question is: Where were these and every other Republicans and Democrats alike when the bill was drawn up without making ID's a requirement? No tax dollar should be distributed to an individual citizen who cannot identify her/himself as to being whom the check was intended.

Online story: "The world of competitive gaming revolves around young players, but it's not always easy for them to participate -- many of them are college students without the resources to host large tournaments. They'll soon get a helping hand from Blizzard, a game developer which is now promising support for college gaming groups that are part of the The eSports Association (TeSPA); as groups get larger, Blizzard will offer increasing amounts of cash, in-game bonuses and promo material. Groups with over 200 members will even get special guests. While the move is no doubt meant to sell more games, it could also create a stronger eSports community that nurtures rookies until they're ready to hit the big leagues." -- And parents thought they only had to worry about drug and alcohol messing up their children's education. Colleges who permit this should at least make any money the students "win" be either in the form of scholarship credits or make the checks be written out to whomever is paying the bill (parents or student loan companies).

Online story: "The Taliban said Friday that they have captured a military dog belonging to NATO forces in Afghanistan, releasing a video of the canine wearing a high-tech harness. * Mujahid said by telephone that the dog is being held in a "safe place" in Laghman. "The condition of the dog is okay – he was not injured and is not being mistreated," he said." -- There's something wrong with a society that teats dogs better than humans, regardless of whether or not the dogs are better than people. Of course, in this situation, the dog is just being "fattened up" for a future meal.

WRBL3 story: "KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) - Sage Kotsenburg of the United States won the first gold medal of the 2014 Olympics on Saturday, soaring to victory in the men's snowboarding slopestyle final." -- Hmmm, who, 25 years ago, would have ever believed that some 'skaterboy' game would be an Olympic sport. Who, among you actually knows what "snowboarding, slopestyle" is?

---

L-E story: "TOKYO — The Tokyo area was hit by a rare heavy snowfall Saturday, stalling trains, grounding flights, and blanketing roads and skyscrapers with snow. * By mid-afternoon, around 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow had fallen" -- Once again, God squash's Algore's contention that man is responsible for the weather.

---

Online story: "Clint Eastwood added another starring role at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am — life saver. * Eastwood attended a volunteer party on the eve of the PGA Tour event when he noticed tournament director Steve John choking on a piece of cheese. The 83-year-old actor quickly performed the Heimlich maneuver Wednesday night at the Monterey Conference Center." -- Hmmm, bet Steve John is glad he invited Eastwood instead of "the empty chair". John would be dead waiting on for his online OObamaCRAP form to be loading.

Online headline/story: "Michael Jackson estate embroiled in tax fight with IRS * According to documents filed with the U.S. Tax Court in Washington, Jackson's executors placed his net worth at the time of his June 2009 death at slightly more than $7 million. * The IRS placed it at $1.125 billion, a difference so vast it looks like a typo. * The agency has told Jackson's executors that the estate owes $505 million in taxes and an additional $197 million in penalties, for a total of more than $702 million." -- Hmmm, maybe now the mainstream media will get interested in the IRS scandals.

Online story: "Montana's governor picked Lt. Gov. John Walsh on Friday to be interim U.S. senator, an appointment that could kick-start Walsh's election campaign as Democrats seek to keep the seat — and control of the U.S. Senate — in their hands. * Walsh said in a news conference that he would keep Montana's interests first and said he would not be "sucked in" to the political culture of Washington. * "There are too many politicians who put their own political agendas ahead of doing what's right, too many folks who don't take their responsibility seriously," Walsh said." -- "would not get sucked in"? Hmmm, sounds like he's already been "sucked in" and he hasn't even made it to Washington yet...

Online story: "A US state department official has pleaded guilty to passing classified information on North Korea to an American journalist. * Stephen Kim, 46, now faces a 13-month sentence as part of a plea deal. * The case began after Fox News journalist James Rosen published a story in June 2009 about US intelligence on North Korea. * Kim, who was a former senior adviser for intelligence to an assistant secretary of state," -- "senior advisor to an assistant secretary of state"? Mainstream media just will not attach Hillary to anything...

Online story: "New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday said that he doesn't care much for Vice President Joe Biden's criticisms of LaGuardia Airport over renovations that it needs. * Biden on Thursday likened the airport to "some third-world country" while touting more modern airports in places like Hong Kong. * De Blasio defended the airport on Friday when asked about Biden's comments. He said the remarks were not Biden's "finest moment" and called them "inappropriate." He also said that was not the right way to talk about it." -- Hmmm, so Bleep Veep Biden's remarks were just "inappropriate"? Bet if Biden had been a Republicanm de Blasio would have described him as being "a bully". Libs are so warped.

You know...we should have seen it coming when Judas 00-Barnum named GE's Jeff Immelt as his economic advisor.. All he really did was get incandescent bulbs banned for high cost per unit fluorescent and LED bulbs on the shelves.

Passed on from a fellow BCer - Online story: "The results are in! Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) is the “winner” of Citizens Against Government Waste's online poll for 2013 Porker of the Year. * Rep. Blumenauer earned this dubious award by introducing H.R. 3636, the UPDATE Act of 2013, which would increase the federal gas tax by nearly 82 percent, from its current 18.4 cents per gallon rate to 33.4 cents per gallon. * As the founder of the Congressional Bike Caucus, he has been a prominent proponent of siphoning transportation money away from vital infrastructure in order to fund pet projects like bicycle paths and pedestrian walkways. Taxpayers coughed up $9.6 billion for these low-priority boondoggles through FY 2013, and such transportation earmarks have been a major drain on the Highway Trust Fund." -- Hmmm, please note, there are no user/licensing fees or taxes on bicycles, but the Democrat sees no need to distribute the cost for using the highways.

---

Runner up for the above award is another Democrat (in fact all 8 nominees were Democrats), Rep Steny Hoyer of Maryland. * Rep. Hoyer received his nomination for refusing to acknowledge that Washington has a spending problem and instead asserting on February 12, 2013: “The country has a paying for problem. We haven’t paid for what we bought; we haven’t paid for our tax cuts; we haven’t paid for war.” -- Hoyer has been spending our tax dollars since 1981.. that's 33 years of earmarking our tax dollars.

The libs are girding their thighs at Bob Costa's evaluation of Putin being a "peacemaker"... Why are libs upset.? Costa's is one of them, and only has Judas 00-Barnum to compare as a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Putin has at least stopped 00-Barnum from attacking Syria.

Bill Gates is worth $60+/- BILLION dollars. The cap on our National Debt is m=now at $17.2 TRILLION. If Judas 00-Barnum cloned Bill Gates' complete holdings 286 times and confiscated them, he still be short of wiping out the National Debt. In just his 5 years in office, he's added $7 Trillion ( Gates times 120) of those $17.2 Trillion our grandkids are now saddled with, and OObamaCRAP has really not even kicked in.

L-E's "Quotable": “The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.” - Thomas Jefferson 3rd U.S. President (1743-1826)" -- This just proves how wise our Forefathers were when they wrote out Constitution... the elite are still trying to undo what our Forefathers anticipated would happen if the Constitution was weakend if more power were give to a single person.

Renaming our school sectors is a time-tried liberal play in their book of politics. We got "sanitation engineers" when they renamed garbage collectors; we got "TV Broadcasters" when they rename "news readers", and so-on, and so-on. Renaming something neither solves or makes the old problem go away. How about just calling what we got what it actually is, and try to solve that. Basically we just have too much "political correctness", and nothing is going to change until everyone admits its about culturism rather than racism.
