Online story: "President Barack Obama makes his debut on comedian Zach Galifianakis' web-based talk show "Between Two Ferns" Tuesday." -- Hmmm, two weeds between two plants......

Online story: "Republican David Jolly has won the special election to fill the empty congressional seat in Florida's 13th congressional district, the Associated Press reports, defeating Democratic rival Alex Sink. * The race has been considered an early test of President Barack Obama's signature health care reform law * With almost 100 percent of the vote counted, Jolly had 48.5 percent of the vote to Sink's 46.7 percent. Libertarian Lucas Overby had 4.8 percent." -- This should be a wake-up call for both Republicans and Libertarians alike....... OObamaCRAP is not "the issue" to win big in the House or take over the Senate in November. Democrat voters are not going to vote against entitlements. Republicans have got to back off of issues that estrange more conservative and Libertarian/Tea Party voters. Libertarians have got to get out of 3rd Party challenges that split the non-liberal votes so Democrats can 'win' with non-majority votes.

From the "suspicions confirmed" department - Online story: "A Michigan woman, who is thought to have died in 2008, apparently voted in the 2010 midterm elections. * A body believed to belong to Pia Farrenkopf was found mummified last week in the garage of her Pontiac home. * Based on initial tests, experts believed she died in 2008, but voting records show Farrenkopf cast a ballot in 2010, Newser reports" -- Remember ... we talked about this woman's body being found while a mortgage company agent was looking over the foreclosed property being shown for a sales transaction... Will Pric Holder send in a team to get the person who voted for her... and who obviously did not have a photo-ID?

Online story: "Lawyers for the man charged with killing 12 people in a Colorado movie theater asked the U.S. Supreme Court to require a Fox News reporter to identify her sources for a story about the defendant. * The attorneys said Monday they asked the justices to review a New York state court ruling that Colorado cannot force New York-based reporter Jana Winter to reveal who told her that Holmes sent his psychiatrist a notebook containing violent images before the July 2012 attack." -- You know... this is what the public sees..and is disgusted by what lawyers do... The source of the subject matter has no impact on what the (_*_) client did, so the only reason his defense lawyers have for the info is to file a malpractice suit to get funds from the psychiatrist to pay themselves.

HuffPost story: "A Washington Post/ABC News poll finds that 42 percent of Americans favor the president’s response to the situation involving Russia and Ukraine, while 43 percent disapprove and 15 percent have no opinion. * The president fares even worse in a poll released by Pew Research, which found that just 30 percent of American adults approve of the president’s performance on the issue and 44 percent disapprove. A full 26 percent had no opinion." -- Hmmm, if Charles Dickens were to write a sequel to one of his classics, he would name this, "A Poll of Too Pities". First, neither poll asked the questions properly if 15% or 26% had "no opinion", and even if that many said so, it's obvious those did not support Judas 00-Barnums leadership skills. The only figures that matter are the 42% & 30% the polls reported as "approving", and all those numbers' show is that the poll takers called 'yellow dog' Chicago-based Democrats.

Online story: "CHICAGO -- Yik Yak is the latest anonymous messaging app to stoke cyber bullying fears among parents and educators, recently causing so much worry its creators temporarily disabled it for an entire city. * After an Alabama teen used the app to make school shooting threats in February and a Massachusetts high school was twice evacuated due to bomb threats posted to the app, Yik Yak was temporarily disabled for the Chicago area. * At least four Chicagoland schools have issued warnings to parents in the past few weeks about the app * Yik Yak connects up to 500 people within a close geographic range (approximately one mile) * There are no accounts or usernames next to the "Yaks," -- You know... we sometimes wonder why the education system is failing our children, but this just shows that the education system is failing society. What these Chicago & Massachusetts educators see is an app for "bullying", but in reality, what we have here is an app that make terrorists communications basically untraceable. This is where the NSA should be focusing on... to eliminate apps that can be used in such manners.

L-E story: "The filibuster has been used to delay many things over the years: civil rights, spending bills, presidential nominees and, most recently, Obamacare. But this may be the first time in history that a group of senators filibustered themselves. * About 30 Democratic senators -- calling themselves the Senate Climate Action Task Force -- kept the Senate open overnight Monday into Tuesday morning. "We're not going to rest until Congress wakes up and acts on the most pressing issue of our time," declared Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii, the organizer of the sleepless senators." -- Good grief... a group of Democrats consider Global Warming the "most pressing issue of our time".. well they are probably right.. but only in regards to it's importance in THEIR time. Republicans running against these Democrats should highlight their claim with subliminal shots of Bill Clinton saying, "It's the economy, stupid" until "their time" in public life is over.
---
Online headline: "Pelosi says “Anonymous Republican” told her GOP Doesn’t Care About Poor, Hungry Children in America" -- Good grief... how can even mainstream media wave a matador's cape at this? Cannot... will not, one non-Fox News program ask her to name the Republican? Will not one liberal reporter dig into her statement in hopes of getting the scoop on this Republican so a Democrat might win an election this November? No...mainstream media does not need another pathological liar representing the Democrat hierarchy to be nationally embarrassed.
---
As an American citizen, It's really discouraging to watch the interest the mainstream media has poured into the New Jersey "Bridgegate" while yawning at the IRS and Benghazi scandals.
---
Excuse me, but why would 2 Irani's with stolen passports seeking asylum in Germany have been in Malaysia?
---
WTVM9 News headline: "March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month" -- Hmmm, I'd have guessed April... April 15th to be exact.
---
The other day, we learned that Judas 00-Barnum didn't want any one to "tweet" him the spoiler on the last show of "House of Cards". Well, it's out now, and Bleep Veep Biden has a spring in his step.

I have a somewhat correction to make about one of my comments yesterday:
A school board member challenged some numbers I used (an argument for them is legitimate), but in fairness, I will use his figures. The 15% reduction in staff referred only to the high school portion. Let's revisit those numbers.. If reducing by attrition or elimination of 15% of the high school staffs would save $4,500,000.00, then he is saying that the entire high school staffing budget is $30,000,000.00 dollars out of the $270,000,000.00 budgeted revenues. Since the MCSD high school system has approximately 9,700 students (out of about 32,000 in all schools),or a shade over 30% of the total, then, in ratio, the total schools staffing salaries/benefits should be about $99,000,000.00. Since 85% of revenues goes towards salaries and benefits, that means a total salary and benefits budget of about $230,000,000. That would leave about $131,000,000.00 going to other-than-in-the-classroom personnel, so that leaves a total of $40,000,000.00 for the rest of operations. We know it's not going to maintenance and improvements as the MCSD always asks us for another SPLOST to build new and replacement buildings.. so... what is that money going for?

L-E's " Thought for Today": “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” — John Quincy Adams, American president (1767-1848)." -- 21st Century update ... if your actions inspire others sit around, not graduate, do less and become dependent, you are a Democrat.
---
In the L-E's "Today in History" feature: " In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave the first of his 30 radio addresses that came to be known as “fireside chats,” telling Americans what was being done to deal with the nation’s economic crisis." -- Of course, eventually citizens ran out of firewood so the chats stopped, too.
---
L-E headline: "FEINSTEIN SAYS CIA MAY HAVE VIOLATED LAW, CONSTITUTION" -- Hmmm... isn't that the CIA's job... now, more importantly, when is she going to point the finger at Judas 00-Barnum for violating the Constitution which he promised to uphold?
---
HuffPost headline: "More Than 4.2 Million People Have Now Enrolled In Obamacare" -- Hmmm... wasn't the number 7,000,000 by March the figure Judas 00-Barnum said was his "red line" to cross to insure OObamaCRAP's success? Not only is it embarrassing that he's reached another "red line" he isn't gonna cross.. it just shows that those 47,000,000 + uninsured do not want to be "insured" for low costs when they have been getting it anonymously for free.
---
Pelosi in action: "She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Marx say something like this?), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.' * When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied: 'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. * Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'." -- How pathetic that any Democrat (obviously I could not qualify this with the phrase "any self-respecting Democrat as that would be an oxymoron) Representative could vote for her leadership.
---
L-E story: " California continues to lead all states through the first five months of enrollment, with nearly 869,000 people signed up for a health plan through the state’s marketplace, Covered California." -- You know.. Pelosi and Feinstein's state of California leads the nation in illegal aliens and OObamaCRAP signees (approximately 21% of the total).. coincidence?
---
L-E headline: "Part of County Line Road shut down for repairs * Culvert repairs could take 30 days or up to three to six months" -- Hmmm, bet that will depend on the re-election polls Mayor Obamalinson takes.
---
You know.. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I cannot believe school board candidates want to make the Hatcher-Stubbs law firm the main issue during the campaigns. With the reduced billing costs given to the MCSD, coupled with a law firm that has 3 nationally edified lawyers on staff, the MCSD Board should be counting this as a big blessing. What the MCSD can do to reduce legal costs is to not send frivolous and less-than-smart actions to the firm for solving.
---
L-E headline: "GM to face Justice probe on delay in car recall" -- Wow! Government Motors is going to be investigated by Eric Holder... what'll we name this scandal.. "farce&futile"?
---
L-E story: " LOS ANGELES — A few minutes before rehearsal for “The Millers,” the season’s No. 1 new comedy, Will Arnett was spotted taking a smoke break with the episode’s special guest star: Tommy Chong." -- Hmmm, not too long ago, this would have read, "Will Arnett was spotted taking a cigarette break".
Today... the chances are it wasn't a cigarette...
