HuffPost story: "In a remarkable rebound from the botched rollout of Obamacare, 8 million people have signed up for private health insurance via the exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act since October, President Barack Obama announced during a press briefing at the White House Thursday.
March and April saw an uptick in the share of young people signing up for private plans using the exchanges. These people, who are presumably healthier, are needed to balance out the medical costs of older, sicker consumers. About 35 percent of people who signed up throughout the open enrollment period were under 35 years old, including children, Obama said. Twenty-eight percent were between the ages of 18 and 34, according to a White House fact sheet." -- "according to a White House fact sheet"? "a White House fact sheet"? Don't get me started on White House facts, but "a White House fact sheet"? How many "White House fact sheet" versions are there?

Same story as above: "This law is working," Obama said." -- "This law is working"? Ooooooh. Judas 00-Barnum isn't a word master.. he's simply a 'word twister'... no where does he say, even imply, that OObamaCRAP "is working:.

HuffPost headline: "CBO Report Finds Obama Budget Will Result In Larger Deficits Than Claimed" -- Hmmm.. and I wonder which version of "a White House fact sheet" was provided to the CBO...

L-E|McClatchy Commentary: " Newsbreak: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office this week issued a new analysis showing that the Affordable Care Act, the plan known as Obamacare that guarantees your insurance cannot be denied or canceled because of a pre-existing health problem, will cost the government less than expected and in many ways it is doing much better than you thought." -- Heh heh heh.. can you guess which version of "a White House fact sheet" McClatchy was provided with?

Online story: "Today Facebook begins rolling out a new opt-in feature called Nearby Friends. It lets friends see approximately how far away you are from them" -- Hmmm...stalkers and burglars are no doubtedly excited.

HuffPost headline: "During Execution, Inmate Says Lethal Injection 'Does Kind Of Burn'" -- Perhaps that was his soul experiencing his next stop...

HuffPost headline: "Little Government Response To Boston Bombing One Year Later" -- Hmmm, well, at least, Judas 00-Barnum is consistent.... there was little response to the Boston Bomber Brothers whereabouts last year... or the year before that either.

Online headline: "Reid labels supporters of Nevada cattle rancher 'domestic terrorists' -- "domestic terrorists".. For America's sake, I do hope Nevadans are engaged, as we speak, in a recall petition for Reid.

L-E headline/story: "Judge to interview experts in Detroit bankruptcy * Judge Steven Rhodes (a former NY lieutenant governor) wants a set of fresh, experienced eyes to offer opinions as Detroit tries to emerge from bankruptcy this year" -- Yeah.. right.. wanna bet all conservatives/right-to-work-advocates will be "politically profiled"?

---

Online quote source: "“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” - Henry Ford" -- Hmmm... let's hope the Republican Party will adopt this as it's permanent slogan and extend inclusion to Conservatives, Tea Partiers, and Libertarians.

---

GM's and Detroit's begging for forgiveness of union mismanagement and malfeasance really bugs me. The nerve of asking taxpayers' representatives in 49 other states to bailout two Democratic/union fiascos at other people's expense is just too much. Let Michigan handle Michigan's problems, and it can start by using the money it's wasting on ads trying to make Michigan look attractive.

Online story: "Astronomers have discovered what they say is the most Earth-like planet yet detected — a distant, rocky world that's similar in size to our own and exists in the Goldilocks zone where it's not too hot and not too cold for life." -- Hmmmm... OK. scientists.. since you think you know everything, start creating...

I think any politician ... even liberal voters, too, who talk about "income equality" should be immediately docked 25% of their annual income to give to someone else who is not related to them.

---

How can anyone get excited about 1st Time Unemployment claims that appear lower when there are so many fewer people working than 5 years ago?

---

Judas 00-Barnum says Americans would rather talk about jobs than 00bamaCRAP. He's right, but he doesn't have anything good to talk with about jobs, either....but he can't even get Democrats to talk about anything good about 00bamaCRAP.

---

Secretary of State Kerry is concerned over flyers distributed to Jews in the Ukraine making them identify themselves as Jews. Huh? How come he's not concerned about Palestinians firing missiles into crowds of Jews in Israel?

---

Judas 00-Barnum's liar-in-chief, Jay Blarney says giving info about who visits the White House makes this the most transparent administration ever. What he didn't say was that reason is a Court Order, but this Administration gets around recording lobbyist/visitors by meeting said lobbyists across the street at coffee shops and that doesn't require naming those lobbyists to be registered.

Online story: "The former principal of a prestigious performing arts high school that turned out Grammy Award winners Boyz II Men hit a sour note in October — when he was accused of passing out fake grades for a concocted history class. * John Dunphy Jr., who was named principal of Philadelphia’s High School for the Creative and Performing Arts in July, was removed by the district in October for allegedly creating a phony world history course and then doling out fake grades to 18 juniors at the school, * The development has forced Philadelphia school district officials to report the matter to the state Department of Education, which may trigger a formal investigation into the incident, the newspaper reports. * Dunphy, meanwhile, had been reassigned to Furness High School as an assistant principal and earns $124,253 annually, district officials told the newspaper" -- Arrggghhhh!!!!! reassigned! It's not bad enough that students are getting short changed in the classrooms, but in life role-modeling as well! No wonder students don't think learning to be accountable matters!

---

Online headline: "NY students suspended indefinitely for displaying Confederate flag" --For once, I agree.. No yankee has ever respected the flag nor earned the right to display it in any form, but the suspension is not enough.. those students, and any who copy-cat them, should be barred from vacationing or retiring in the South!

Online headline/story: "Portland to flush 38 million gallons of water after teen urinates in reservoir" -- What is it with liberals.. some probably drunk 19 year old takes a leak in a pond and it's ruined, yet libs have no concern about fish or ducks emptying their bladders/colons into the same pond?

---

If the Supreme Court needs to exam any lying done concerning politicians then the Supreme Court should focus on promises elected and incumbent politicians make to keep getting re-elected.

---

Republican "strategists" seem to think pounding 00bamaCRAP is the only issue to pound on from now to November. All that's going to do in numb the base, and irritate the independents. They should just shut up until the middle of October, and ask voters one question: "00bamaCRAP has been in effect for one year.. are you happy?" Then say, "if, not, this is what electing us can do for you."

Oh, where was Robert Redford and the Sierra Club protestors when the BLM's SWAT team was out in the grazing acreage tearing up the tortoise refuge?

Being a granddad reintroduces one to events long ago stopped. PBS/GPB is one in particular. It claims it runs on donation so advertising won't be an influence ongoing minds. That's pure BS! When 'contributors' are "highligthed' and mentioned for the donation, that my friends, is an AD, and a good reason government support of this obviously commercial business should cease.

L-E headline/story: "School board candidates tout plans to improve district * Wells noted the district’s high school graduation rate is above the state average (72.8 percent compared to 71.5 in 2013). * “But I’m not satisfied,” Wells said. “That’s the reason why we’ve got programs instituted in our school district now to under-gird students who look like they might not make it. I hate to see a student not graduate, because they won’t have a future.” -- Well, Wells, you've been at more than 25 years.. I'd say that pretty much makes you part of the problem, not the solution.

---

Instant replay: L-E headline/story: "School board candidates tout plans to improve district * (Victor Morales said) "we’ve created a program that has hired over 27 high school students right into Pratt & Whitney. * “If we can dangle an apple in front of them and say, ‘Hey, at the end of high school, here’s an opportunity for you,’ hopefully they’ll stay in high school, go after that apple, and when they graduate, they can go right into Columbus and be employed by us,” Morales said." -- Ah! A man with a plan.. Morales just took preference from me in District 2.

Instant replay: L-E headline/story: "School board candidates tout plans to improve district * (John) Thomas pledged to be a “good steward of the taxpayer-funded budget.” * He vowed to “never support personnel actions as the way to address a budget shortfall,” Thomas said. “I don’t want to see teachers furloughed, and I don’t want to see us lose teachers. I don’t want teacher layoffs. To me, that is cutting at the very heart of the system.” * Let’s look at some innovative ways to bring in more revenue. I’m telling you they’re there. I’ve done the research, and that’s what I want to bring to the school board.” -- Important, but we already know where 85% of the revenues go.. salaries & benefits & perks. When push comes to shove, I don't want a school board member who ranks raising revenues (taxes) as first choice over examining cost savings in the salary/benefits area.

---

Instant replay: L-E headline/story: "School board candidates tout plans to improve district * (District 8 challenger Frank) Myers said he agrees with Thomas’ earlier proposal for a “top-to-bottom” audit of the school district * Myers repeated his call for the board to end “no-bid contracts.” * “Muscogee County has the third-highest tax millage rate for schools (in Georgia) behind Rockdale and DeKalb counties, and we’re in the lowest third at best in overall performance,” Myers said. “We’re not getting a good bang for our buck" -- While I do agree with what Meyers says he believes, I'm just not comfortable with a man who's looking for what he can personally get out of being a board member. We saw what happened years ago when John Wells fought to remove the rules prohibiting board members from bidding on projects for the school system.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Republican policies favor the rich over those who actually produce the goods and services in America. This has so severely alienated the majority of voters that there may never be another conservative president." -- You know.. when Ayn Rand wrote "Atlas Shrugged" back in the 50's, it was assumed it was "fiction". Now it's become a "bible", a historical novel written before history itself. The truth is that the majority of voters, and all Democrats, have severely alienated the job providers, the captains of industry, and the 'doers' will drop out before the 'leeches' drain everything out of them.

---

Another LIV's L-E "soundoff": "The U.S. government should have shot those snipers in Nevada as they posed an immediate threat to the officers by aiming their rifles at them." -- Hmmm... it looked more like the government was drawing down on American citizens protecting their Constitutional rights. If there is any prosecuting to do, it's on who gave the orders for Americans to draw down on fellow Americans.

---

The searchers for MH370 constantly remind us that the search in the Indian Ocean is like looking for 'a needle in a haystack'. You know, it's worse than that.. there are no haystacks in the Indian Ocean. Why not look on land?

L-E story: " Cumberland County, N.J., has summoned IV Griner to jury duty. The only problem is that IV is a 5-year-old German shepherd. The dog’s owner is Barrett Griner IV. He uses the Roman numeral for four in his name. He named his dog using the letters “I” and “V.” The county’s judiciary coordinator says the computer likely mistook the Roman numeral for Griner’s first name and mailed the summons." -- Hmmm.. " the computer likely mistook the Roman numeral for Griner’s first name and mailed the summons"? Sounds like the 21st Century's "dog ate my homework" excuse that will be the most common response of all government agencies. Makes you excited about OObamaCRAP and the future of IRS, doesn't it... NOT!

Online story: "An electric car that proponents hope will replace horse-drawn carriages in New York City.
The "Horseless eCarriage" prototype was unveiled Thursday at the New York International Auto Show. It was commissioned by NYCLASS, a group advocating for a ban on carriage horses, saying it's inhumane to have them toiling in an urban environment." -- "it's inhumane to have them (horses) toiling in an urban environment"? Well.. it kinda makes sense.. liberals/Democrats don't seem to want any mammals toiling in an urban environment.. that would eliminate government entitlement agency jobs.
