Online story: "President Barack Obama says pending steps by Uganda to further criminalize homosexuality will complicate what he is describing as America's valued relationship with the East African nation." -- Hmmm... where does this problem fall in importance to Ugandi problems such as genocide and slave trafficking?

From above story: "As a country and a people, the United States has consistently stood for the protection of fundamental freedoms and universal human rights. We believe that people everywhere should be treated equally, with dignity and respect, and that they should have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, no matter who they are or whom they love." -- Yeah, right... unless they are white, straight, Christian, and business owners.

Online story: "U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned Indonesians on Sunday that man-made climate change could threaten their entire way of life, deriding those who doubted the existence of "perhaps the world's most fearsome weapon of mass destruction".-- Well, John Kerry, I suggest you get on your knees and pray to God that he not unleash only what He controls.

HuffPost headline: "Republican Comes to Hillary Clinton's Defense" -- Hmmm... what Mitt Romney really said was, " if she decides to run for president," Romney said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday. "She has her own record and her own vision." * "I think Hillary Clinton, if she becomes the nominee, will have plenty to discuss about her own record,"

L-E headline/story: "GM Foundation giving grants to 3 Detroit charities * (GM Foundation President Vivian) Pickard * is expected to make stops at the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, Coalition on Temporary Shelter and Habitat for Humanity Detroit. * Since its inception in 1976, the GM Foundation has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charities, educational organizations and disaster relief efforts worldwide." -- Whoa! Wait a minute! GM Foundation has given away 100s of millions over about 40 years yet we tax payers have lost over $10 BILLION bailing GM out? Why and how is the GM Foundation still in existence?

L-E story: " Faith Spotted Eagle figures that building a crude oil pipeline from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast would bring little to Indian Country besides more crime and dirty water, but she doubts that Native Americans will ever get the U.S. government to block the $7 billion project. * There is no way for Native people to say no – there never has been,” said Spotted Eagle, 65, a Yankton Sioux tribal elder from Lake Andes, S.D. “Our history has caused us not to be optimistic. . . . When you have capitalism, you have to have an underclass – and we’re the underclass.” -- Interesting... nowhere did she bring up the jobs it will create nor the customers for the casinos.

Online story: "Michael Quin, a blind man from Springfield, Mo., knocked down a three-pointer during halftime of College of the Ozarks vs. Bellevue game on Saturday, and in turn won free McDonald’s for a year." -- There are several ways to digest this.. I'm going to let you enjoy exploring the options for yourself. Think "McNuggets" and "nothing but net". Let Larry Bird slip in there, too.

Last week, as reported in the bastion of liberalism, the New York Times federal judge ARENDA L. WRIGHT ALLEN declared the Virginia ban on "gay marriages" unconstitutional because “Our Constitution declares that ‘all men’ are created equal. Surely this means all of us,”. What escaped notice was that neither the judge nor the New York Times noticed that the judge was quoting the Declaration of Independence instead of our Constitution. Yep, she's a Judas 00-Barnum supporter and appointee. as is the NYT. Let's hope someone other than the Virginia Attorney General appeals this verdict (he was for it) to the US Supreme Court based on the judge's "technical" error as well as the general principles of marriage. PS. remember her name ARENDA L. WRIGHT ALLEN in case one of your stste's Senators has to vote on her for a higher court position.

You know, we, all Americans, Republicans, Democrats, and more conservatives as well, would be better served if Bleep Veep Biden would have his next Botox injections in his tongue rather than his forehead.

L-E's "Quotable": "I liked things better when I didn’t understand them.” _ Bill Watterson American cartoonist (1958- )" -- Obviously a Democrat who's awakening from his stupor...

---

L-E headline: "Commentary: Miami Herald * Debt-limit bill was right move" -- Hmmm... bet this Miami Herald attitude will change by mid-October, when the Miami Herald will be blaming the Republicans for replenishing Judas 00-Barnum's checkbook.

---

Another L-E headline/story: "Commentary: Kathleen Parker * The ‘ruthless’ Hillary Clinton * The pollsters concluded: “What voters find slick in Bill Clinton, they find ruthless in Hillary. * Welcome to Double Standards 101." -- Hmmm, mainstream media admits Hillary is/was "ruthless" but Bill is/was just "slick"... now THAT's the real "double standard" the mainstream media perpetuates!

---

L-E headline: "FOSTER MURDER TRIAL STARTS TODAY * Charles Foster Jr.’s death was Columbus’ first ’13 murder, became a symbol of gun violence" -- WRONG! Foster's death was unfortunate, yes, but not a symbol of gun violence; it's more a symbol of the cultural decay of the importance and the reverence for life within the community.

L-E headline/story: "New Benning hotel sparks fear in local competition * Benning: We’re targeting official military travelers, not civilians * “I would like to stress that the purpose of this hotel is to take care of our soldiers and families,” said Al Gelineau, Fort Benning’s director of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. “That’s our target market, the official traveler. Our soldiers work hard, they train hard, they fight hard, they deserve a quality room to stay in. That is our focus. The anxiety from the off-post hoteliers comes from the fact that under the Army’s “Privatized Army Lodging” program, the hotel that will bear the name “Abrams Hall” also will be turned over to a large company within a year of its debut." -- What out-and-out BS! The revamping/building of on-base living quarters to accommodate the influx of BRAC (which didn't happn) has generated an excess of on-post family facilities, and if you poll the young active soldiers as to whether they'd stay on post or get a motel room near the Columbus nightlife when they earn a weekend off, where do you suppose they will want to stay?

Low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " To all you people who pay your employees minimum wage, you’re not employers, you’re exploiters. Shame on you!" -- Alright (_*_), identify your business, and show us your payroll info... Hmmm, didn't think so...

---

Another low info voter's (and probable teacher) L-E "soundoff": " Proof Muscogee schools are socioeconomically segregated: Last weekend’s All-District Honor Band contained 17 and 8 Columbus and Northside students and 4, 3, 2, 2, 0 and 0 Hardaway, Shaw, Carver, Jordan, Kendrick, and Spencer students." -- What you see here is "proof" that when parents of the children are actually involved in the schools, things happen. What you see here is "proof" that the school system's attempt to be "the parent" is a failure.

From the L-E's "Today in History" feature: "In 1988, Lt. Col. William Higgins, a Marine Corps officer serving with a United Nations truce monitoring group, was kidnapped in southern Lebanon by Iranian-backed terrorists (he was later slain by his captors)." -- Then, as today, the L-E has a problem calling a terrorist a terrorist and al Qaida al Qaida...

Another Hollywooder has come out saying she's "gay". Hmm. would people do so publicly, LOUDLY, if they had to say, "I'm a homosexual" if a man, and, "I'm a lesbian" if a woman? The truth is not as playful sounding.
