Online story: "The White House may prohibit selfies with President Obama, a top adviser said on Sunday. *
Speaking on CBS' Face The Nation, Dan Pfeiffer said that the president didn't know the photo he took with Red Sox star David Ortiz was part of a Samsung promotion." -- Well, there Judas 00-Barnum goes again... he says he doesn't know anything about anything until he reads it in a newspaper. He's not upset at being "promoted"; actually, he's the biggest self-promoter we have ever had as a politician. What he's upset about is that he didn't think of iot himself and has to share the credit.

L-E opinion commentary: "The federal government believed Colby Sue Weathers was a paranoid schizophrenic. It had information that she was delusional and suicidal, unable to work and therefore eligible for Medicaid and disability benefits. * One summer day in 2012, Weathers cashed her government check, bought a .45 caliber pistol from Missouri gun shop, returned home and shot her father dead. * So here's the question: If the federal government considers a person is mentally ill enough to receive financial benefits, why can't it also decide that person is dangerous enough to be banned from buying a gun?" -- Hmmm.. question answered.. because the federal government has privacy laws on sharing medical information! Furthermore, government inefficiency.. government incompetency would prohibit good communication anyway.

Tonight, two teams that would have been ranked in the bottom quadrant (if the NCAA still limited the Championship brackets to 32 teams) are squaring off for the 2014 Championship. The other 2 teams in the semifinals were # 1 & 2 in their brackets, so both Kentucky & UConn had to play well to get to the finals, but let's parse this a bit further. Had the brackets started with only 32 teams, Kentucky would have had to play Arizona in game 1, and UConn would have had to play Villanova. True, KY & UConn could have won, but statistically, one or both teams shouldn't be playing tonight.

This is a "golf thing", so not everyone will remember the feeling most of us had growing up as we slapped wiffle golf balls around our houses, or stood on the 18th imagining our shot, our putt, was to win it all at Augusta. Yesterday, there was more than an imagined dream for 88 9-to-15 year old boys and girls. 88 qualified for the 1st Annual Drive-Chip-Putt competition. 88 kids now know the feeling of walking off the green at Augusta as winners ...something we could only dream about.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "I’m tired of Republicans outsourcing every decent paying job, leaving me to pay for unemployed families while the CEOs make millions, which they hide in offshore tax havens while my taxes soar." -- Spoken like a liberal who's only job is to send in soundoff entries to put his 2 cents in. And, 2 cents is probably all the taxes he/she/it pays.

L-E's "Thought for Today": “Lying is done with words and also with silence.” — Adrienne Rich, American poet (1929-2012). -- Good grief.. does that mean Judas 00-Barnum can lie even when he's not talking out of both sides of his mouth?
