HuffPost headline: "Russian Parliament Grants Putin Permission To Deploy Armed Forces In Crimea Region" -- Now that's a "RED LINE"...

Wait a minute...maybe we're being too tough of Judas 00-Barnum... actually he has drawn two "red lines" that he's crossed... actually he's crossed them too much.. one 'red line' called the National Debt, and the 'red line' he's drawn through parts of our Constitution.

---

Hey, Judas 00-Barnum... Putin has just thrown down his gauntlet.. watcha gonna do next?... Pssst.. going to DisneyWorld and golfing are not options.

HuffPost headline: "Obama Calls Putin, Suspends US Participation In G-8 Prep Meetings: -- Hmmm..Good grief... If the situation were reversed, Putin would have called France, West Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Canada and banned Judas 00-Barnum's participation in the G8.

---

Since Judas 00-Barnum won't be participating in the Gang of 8, he can just get back to practicing his gang tactics on Congress.

HuffPost headline: "More Than Two Dozen Killed In Knife Attack At Train Station In China" -- Ooops, thought China had invented a fully automatic AK-machete.

Online story: "Obama quietly issued a health law fix Thursday to help these states. Several Democratic-led states, including Oregon, Maryland, Massachusetts and Hawaii, are still trying to solve website problems that have eclipsed those experienced earlier by the federal HealthCare.gov site" -- "quietly"? Like he wants to make a big deal out of it. Unfortunately... ordering such does not mean it will actually happen.. he, Judas 00-Barnum "ordered" the OObamaCRAP website, and you know how "fixed" that was....

Hey....big city bar/club owners.. Justin "the BIG boob" Bieber celebrated his 20th birthday yesterday... you have no excuses for allowing him into your businesses... he's using a fake ID.

Online headline: "Justin 'the BIG boob Bieber : "I'm a bad ass behind bars" -- Hmmm, I imagine he'll find out what real prisoners would show him what he can do with his bad (_*_) atitude...

Online story: "— Workers at a Mississippi funeral home say they found a man alive and kicking when they opened a body bag. * The coroner was called to 78 year old Walter Williams' home in Lexington, a community north of Jackson, where family members believed he had died. * Williams had no pulse and was pronounced dead Wednesday at 9 p.m. * Early Thursday, workers at Porter and Sons Funeral Home were preparing to embalm Williams when he started to kick in the body bag" -- Hmm, you don't suppose our coroner was moonlighting in Mississippi, do you?

Online story: "McKesson (MCK) lowered the pension payment of chief executive John Hammergren by $45 million on Friday in response to increasing shareholder pressure. * The company’s joint chairman and CEO voluntarily reduced his benefit in a letter to McKesson’s compensation committee Friday after “shareholder feedback” sparked an overhaul of the medical supplier's long-term equity and cash compensation programs." -- Excuse me, but without a figure of what the $45 MILLION was cut from, we have no idea of what the pension package is, but it has to be outlandish. Maybe the shareholders should have just lowered 'the boom' altogether.

---

Think about the number Judas 00-Barnum is cutting active duty troop levels to this year... it's less than we had when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Wonder if Judas 00-Barnum will enact the next draft by "pen and phone"? Speaking of a draft... will being female, or LGBT get you a draft exclusion as in the past?

Online story: "At a Black History Month event Tuesday, Director Spike Lee responded to a question about gentrification.."Here's the thing. I grew up in Fort Greene," Lee continued. "I grew up here in New York. It’s changed. And why does it take an influx of white New Yorkers in the south Bronx, in Harlem, in Bed-Stuy [Bedford-Stuyvestant], in Crown Heights for the facilities to get better?" -- Is he complaining about Clinton opening his office in Harlem?

---

Online story: "Radical Muslim rebel groups in Syria reportedly are shaking down the Christian population for protection money in the form of gold. * Christian minority population fears that they are becoming targets by extremists looking to overthrow President Bashar Assad. * It underscores that fact that as a Christian you are left with the choice between siding with a dictator or siding with the rebels" -- Hmmm.. wonder if Judas 00-Barnum will draw another 'red line' (which he won't cross) or continue funding the rebels with weapons to kill Christians?

---

Online story: "A major Chinese government news service has used a racist slur to describe the departing American ambassador in a mean-spirited editorial that drew widespread public condemnation in China. * The article called Gary Locke a "rotten banana," a guide dog for the blind, and a plague. It reflected Chinese nationalists' acute loathing toward the first Chinese-American to have been Washington's top envoy to Beijing." -- In reality... was the Chineses disdain actually aimed at the Ambassador or for the man who sent him there?

There's an ad for some kind of light emitting hair removal device and some dude is "shaving" his arm with it. OK..that was freaky enough, but then the guy said "it's as good as a wax job, but with out the pain". You know, I don't think I'll ever buy anything recommended by some guy who actually knows the pain of a wax job.

HuffPost headline: "Brad Pitt has never won an Oscar" -- Well, guess what... there's a real good reason... he's not an Oscar worthy actor nor capable of doing justice to an Oscar worthy role.

If 00bamaCRAP really would lower insurance premiums and medical costs, you wouldn't see many insurance companies advertising to get you to sign up. Insurance companies advertise because you buying it is profitable to them.

To kick off his latest plans for $300 BILLION for stimulus projects, Judas 00-Barnum is screaming that the other stimulus project worked in spite of what everybody else says. What economist is he quoting.. one from Solyndra?

---

A California town's school superintendent earned $363,000.00 last year. Other facts are that the entire school system had 3 schools and only 6,500 students. Thank goodness our school board didn't hire him and his contract agent.

---

What is this ruse being perpetrated by big Democrats? Hillary, and Bleep Veep Biden are telling women they no longer have to work to get health insurance. Do Democrats actually believe that's why women work? Do Democrats believe women don't have families or need a roof over their heads, or need gasoline for their cars? It can only be because the upper level Democrats want women to stay home and let either the government or their spouse to take care of them.

Latest from the DNC website: "President Obama's last Congress" -- Hey, is this not all the "HOPE" we need to see "CHANGE" in our future?

Too long time board member John Wells is running again for re-election to our school board. Wells' opponent ought to make, "Haven't we gone to the Wells once to often?" his campaign slogan * Another might be "Time to Flush the School Board's John".

The L-E ran an article on the salaries of City employees... seems to me, this kind of info would better serve the public if the L-E ran it the day before every election.

---

From the above story, the L-E points out that Augusta, very similar structure and population base, has 260 less employees, and that the salary savings for cutting Columbus' employee number by such would amount to a $9.25 Million dollar savings which is about what the budget deficit is projected. Throw in the benefits and Columbus would save some serious bucks, but that's not going to happen.. at least not soon. Doing so would probably change votes of some 1500+ voters to the challenger. (Employee discharged plus spouse, plus two sets of parents - 6 votes X 260 employees).

---

If the L-E really wants to be of public service, it would also include the taxpayer costs of benefits provided.. everything from City provided insurance, pension, free Civic Center tickets, service discounts, and vehicles. Combined with actual salaries, we'd have a better picture as to how efficient the City is.

---

You know, when a politician wants to post the average of crime figures that have occurred in his/her term, it's because the latest figures are higher than the earlier years, so this years numbers can be averaged downward to look better. The reality is that the numbers are trending up.

---

I'm seeing a lot of "50 year's ago" stories about Civil Rights movements and protests. That's history.. and it's good history is remembered but history serves society better when "journalists" temper the past with what changes have occurred at the present.

---

L-E headline: "SIX LOTTERY OFFICIALS GET $10K RAISES * This in a year after Legislature cut HOPE payouts to students" -- How naive can mainstream media be? Name me one government program that doesn't take care of its employees better than the recipients of the services.

---

L-E story: " The 2014 issue of Super Lawyers magazine includes three Hatcher, Stubbs partners in the annual list of the top 5 percent of attorneys in Georgia." -- Hmmm, notably, Frank Myers' name is not on this list. Does anyone blame the MCSD board for wanting Hatcher-Stuubs representing school business versus Frank Myers?
