Tim Wilson.... comedian for the world.. a a home grown friend. He was a classmate of my bride, and I had the opportunity to hear him at work once, and visit with him personally on a couple of other occasions. A funny man...a compassionate man... a family man. He suddenly passed last week, and we saw him off yesterday. Billy Gardel praised him...Ron White said there was nothing to fix, and some of the Atlanta Rhythm Section "hallalujahed" his send off. The facility was cavernous, but while there were seats available, the spirit of his impact on people's lives packed the place. It was a man of comedy's dream last performance.. SRO....

God gave us golf..and Judas 00-Barnum. It proves God has a real sense of humor. Maybe that's why He called Tim Wilson home so early.... command performance.

The multi-billion-dollar “Walt Disney Company has notified the Boy Scouts of America that it will withdraw all funding from the organization beginning 2015 unless the BSA overturns its policy of not allowing openly gay members to be leaders.” -- You know... we are already looking at a visit to DisneyWorld in 2-3 years for our granddaughter... let me start over - You know we WERE looking at a visit to DisneyWorld....

HuffPost story: "The Russian military has undergone a major modernization in recent years, receiving large supplies of new weapons and conducting massive exercises. Cash-strapped Ukraine couldn't afford such a buildup and its forces have slowly degraded." -- Hmmm.. remember in 2012 during the Romney debate when Judas 00-Barnum, with absolute support of mainstream media, proclaimed the "Cold War" had been over for 20 years? Well, today, we have the same situation as the Ukaine.. cash strapped and degraded military forces.

---

Guess Judas 00-Barnum was wrong about the Russian cold war being over.. Of course, Judas 00-Barnum being wrong is not exactly a surprise once you get passed mainstream media's fixation of his being black. Oh, well, mainstream media had it half right.

Putin hasn't just slapped Judas 00-Barnum in the face... he's b*tch-slapped him.

---

HuffPost headline: "Obama: Tough Choices Nearing In Mideast Talks" -- Hmmm, watch the Masters undisturbed or....

---

Let's face it, there's little Judas 00-Barnum can actually do for Ukraine other than declare out&out war. 00-Barnum has neutered his saber-rattling skills by his "Nerf" type approach to terrorist activities.

If you are in a MCSD district where a school board member us running for reelection, ask him/her if they are strictly enforcing the new rules about out of county and out-of-state students' families paying the full and proper fees. This applies to teachers/administrators as well.

One of Judas 00-Barnum's spinmeisters said there are plenty if ways to put pressure on Putin by revoking visas of other Russian supporters of Putin. By revoking such, there kids can't return for next semester at Harvard and their wives couldn't GI shopping on 5th Avenue. Good grief! How naive can liberals get? This is in the same class of BS as Hillary and Bleep Veep Joe for claiming the slow work market is OK with women because now they can get insurance without having to get a job.

---

Get real...Judas 00-Barnum is no Ronald Reagan, John Kerry is no Alexander Haig, and if you tied Susan King & Samantha Powers together they couldn't hold a candle to Margaret Thatcher so why does mainstream media think Putin gives a whit about threats from this administration?

---

I could hardly believe when I heard that Susan King had briefed Judas 00-Barnum on the military actions taken by Russia in the Ukraine. I mean, who gave her the talking points she told him?

---

Liberals have no clue what diplomacy is all about. It's not about glibness, or verbal dexterity.. not even about capability..it's about credibility and past performances... Judas 00-Barnum has no credibility to bluff... he plays his poker cards up when he only has pair of deuces.

---

Now the truth is coming out...many Democrat states jumped onto the OObamaCRAP bandwagon early with visions of getting federal subsidies quickly for insurance signees. Wait a minute ! Wasn't OObamaCRAP enacted to make healthcare insurance affordable for all individuals? Looks like, instead, the Democrat states just wanted to get more out-of-state taxpayers' money for themselves?

The L-E's database of City employee salaries, while overly invasive giving access by name to all employees, was revealing about some employees. Did you know we have an employee job description for a "Community School Activity Leader... a part time job that pays $8,881.60 to someone (probably a bunch of someones)? What is a "Community School Activity Leader" and why do we have them on the City payroll...sounds like a job for the MCSD?

In case you missed it, Remington is "expanding" (yeah... how about moving to) from NY into Alabama. Remington first began considering new locations after the New York legislature passed the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Act in response to the tragic shootings in Newtown, Conn. In addition to banning magazines that contain more than seven rounds and requiring instant background checks on ammo purchases, the NY SAFE Act broadened the definition of so-called “assault weapons” to include a wide range of guns, including the Bushmaster, which was being manufactured at Remington’s New York plant. NY may as well cancel its ad campaign to convince companies to move to NY.

Online story: "The Philadelphia district attorney is speaking out against Debo Adegbile, President Obama's nominee for a top Justice Department post (Civil Rights Division.), saying his link to the case of a convicted cop killer "sends a message of contempt" to police -- as the widow of the fallen officer is apparently denied the chance to testify. * she's "extremely frustrated" after being told by representatives of Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., that she won't be able to do so. * Maureen Faulkner, in seeking to testify, claimed Adegbile "personally took on" the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal while working with the NAACP to overturn Abu-Jamal's death penalty. Abu-Jamal was convicted in the 1981 killing of (her husband)Daniel Faulkner. " -- (_*_)bu-Jamal ran up behind Officer Faulkner and shot him in the back. Faulkner turned abd shot (_*_)bu in the chest, then (_*_) shot Officer Faulkner 4 more times as he laid on the ground, including one intentionally aimed shout directly between the eyes. Hmmm, I can see why Judas 00-Barnum thinks Adegbile would be a bookend for Pric Holder.

Low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " From June 2001 to June 2008, during the Bush administration, 63 percent of low-income Americans received food stamps. At present, 48 percent of the same category receive food stamps. Interesting." -- Hmm figures may not lie but liars figure a lot. IF the Bush figure is "right" then less 50 Million people were in the "low income" category. If the Judas 00-Barnum figureis correct, then the low-income persons category has risen to 100,000,000. I cannot see where any Judas 00-Barnum supporter should be celebrating.

L-E headline: "OBAMA’S 2015 BUDGET APPEALS TO DEMOCRATS" -- I imagine so.. on the other hand.. terrorist leaders also find the Judas 00-Barnum budget appealing as well.. fewer weapons and soldiers to come after them with or keep them from crossing our borders.

L-E story: " The Supreme Court indicated Monday that states should look beyond an intelligence test score in borderline cases of mental disability to determine whether a death row inmate is eligible to be executed. -- Instead of an IQ test for criminals.. perhaps there should have one for Federal appeals court judges.

Saw where Mayor Obamalinson's salary is now $78,909.00 annually. When the full time mayor's position was created, the mayor's salary was a flat $65,000.00... When did it become $78,909.00?

L-E story: " Attorney Mark Shelnutt, who represented the defendant, spent more than 10 minutes of Monday’s hearing questioning both the victim and Richards for specifics about the attack. His examination drew Judge Michael Cielinski’s ire several times, particularly his questions over the both the victim’s and suspect’s current and past relationships. * “I was just trying to establish that he’s in a relationship,” Shelnutt explained after Cielinski reprimanded him for a question relating to St. George’s girlfriend.* “That has nothing to do with rape,” Cielinski retorted." -- You know.. Mark Shelnutt was 'exhiled' for, I believe, a two year period from Muscogee County. Why has he been allowed to come into Columbus and practice law?
