I'm writing this item about 10:30 AM yesterday, and Fox is following the recently found satellite pics of something floating in the South Indian Ocean. Nothing has been confirmed, but like other news services, Fox is following suit by rushing to air to report rumor. I expect more from Fox.

CNN commentary headline: "Get real, lower drinking age to 19" -- Hmmm, yeah... Lindsay Lohan and Justin Bieber have been such wonderful role models and examples of 19 year olds. That, and intentional disable the frontal lobe of the brain..

---

5th and 6th rank seeds, Ohio State, Cincinnati, and Oklahoma, bit the dust last night. If there is anyone left in the running for Buffett's Billion Dollar challenge, that person needs to be investigated for tampering or bribery.

---

Another CNN headline: "Search shows need for trust in Asia" -- Good grief... the only thing Asian leaders 'trust" is honor and power, therefore. America will get none of such as long as Judas 00-Barnum reigns.

The Malaysia Airliner situation should bring talks about an immediate remedy for locating aircraft in the future. Instead of "black box" data and voice recorders, technology today already allows that to be tranmitted to satellites which would make that info available while the plane was in flight.

HuffPost "headlie": "Candidate Who Blames Gay Rights For Tornadoes Nabs Big GOP Win" -- Good grief.. she won the GOP primary in Illinois to run in a Congressional race in Chicago.. she'll be lucky if her name even gets put on the ballot in most Democratic Party run precincts.

---

HuffPost headline: "Obama: 'Ukrainians Shouldn't Have To Choose Between The West And Russia'" -- Well, certainly Judas 00-Barnum doesn't feel he is a choice..

Fortune Magazine just published its "Top 50" leaders of the world.. Pope Francis was number 1... in a surprise, German Angela Merkel was named 2nd.. there's a lot to be questioned about her selection, but one that didn't raise an eyebrow (outside mainstream media and the Nobel Committee) is that Judas 00-Barnum did not make the list at all!

---

Looking at the Fortune list.. liberals will be more shocked, more disappointed that Hillary Clinton did not make the list either, though her hubby was #5. Bleep Veep Biden.. he don't say nuttin' and laffed his way to the Briar Patch.

---

Hmmm, I guess Fortune Magazine just didn't have any "rspect" for Judas 00-Barnum. or Hillary.

---

Earlier, Judas 00-Barnum named 20 Russians that get "sanctioned"; yesterday, Putin retaliated by naming 9 Americans in response. That's all Putin had to name.. he already knew Judas 00-Barnum and his staff wouldn't try to cross the "red line" he drew at the Russian border.

Online story: "Last Thursday, 6th grader Adrionna Harris was recommended for expulsion and faced a 10 day suspension after she took a razor away from a student who was cutting himself * Harris threw the razor blade in the trash and then convinced the student that his behavior was wrong. * Harris' suspension came because of the school's "zero tolerance" policy on weapons." -- Don't think that couldn't happen right here in River City... today!

---

Judas 00-Barnum denies being in a chess match with Putin.. You know, he's right...it's more like 00-Barnum is using checkers instead.

---

With truth in advertising, is it fair for celebrities to sell something they aren't buying for themselves..shouldn't there be a disclaimer "Not an ObamaCare insured, but play one on TV"?

---

Judas 00-Barnum...OObamaCRAP...you know, if I didn't think my current monicker was such a good fit for him, I might change it to ObaMADOFF for the pyramid scheme OObamaCRAP is.

---

You know, I think I'd feel safer giving my personal information to a Nigerian banker via e-mail that to Judas 00-Barnum via www.healthcare.org.

---

Remember when Democrats raked Bush43 over the coals for taking on Iraq without conferring with the UN first? Where are these Democrats when Judas00-Barnum began posturing about the Ukraine without talking to the UN.

---

Online headline: "Report: California is top crime target in US" -- And that's just looking at Pelosi, Boxer, and Feinstein's voting records.

---

Online story: "A jarring report out of North Korea claims that Kim Jong Un's former girlfriend was executed by a firing squad last week." -- Hmmm, she must have reported another Kim Jong Un "missile launch failure".

---

Online headline: "Teen Sneaks Past Security, Climbs Atop 1 World Trade Center" -- Now, don't you feel PO'd about all the time it's taken for TSA to embarrass you before letting you board a plane?

---

A fellow BCer and former college athlete brought to question what the "stipend check" was that the 4 UGA football players were double cashing? When he and I were at college, the athletes got a $15.00 monthly check to cover laundry needs. That was all that was allowed by the NCAA. In the 70s, that was stopped because of abuse, so what were those checks for?

---

Remember when "fast & furious" was a desciption of "Montezuma's Revenge" rather than a subversive DOJ gun running program to arm Mexican drug cartels?

L-E story: " In all, about 150 people participated in the Third Annual Diversity Conference titled The Dream Lives: A Wake-up Call Perpetuating the Dream in a Climate of Haves and Have Nots. * The daylong event was organized by Columbus State University and the Mayor’s Commission on Unity, Diversity and Prosperity. Presenters included Mayor Teresa Tomlinson, Muscogee County School District Superintendent David Lewis and Rothschild Middle School principal Michael Forte. Francys Johnson, state president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, gave the keynote address. * Topics included classism vs. racism: smearing the lines that divide; classism and poverty in America’s schools; and arrest and adjudication of the poor. After each presentation, participants discussed practical solutions to the community’s problems." -- Hmmm, the top topics were racism and classism... hmmm... you know, there is no "diversity solution" as long as racism and classism are even topics at all....much less the top topics.

From above L-E story: "Francys Johnson, state president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, gave the keynote address * He said people ask him why the NAACP doesn’t focus on social services like tutoring. * “I say, ‘We have a tutoring program, it’s called the Muscogee County Board of Education, and the citizens in this community pay $7,500 on average per pupil to educate the students in this county,” -- "47,500 on average per pupil"? Correction: With a $270,000,000 base budget (not counting millions that will come in later that are not counted in the budget), and 32,000 students, the MCSD budget comes out to $8.400+ per student.
