Online story: "BONN, Germany, June 6 (Reuters) - Rising sea levels have
washed the remains of at least 26 Japanese World War Two soldiers from their
graves on a low-lying Pacific archipelago, the foreign minister of the Marshall
Islands said on Friday. * "There are coffins and dead people being washed away
from graves. It's that serious," Tony de Brum told reporters on the sidelines of
U.N. climate change talks in Germany. * Climate scientists say global warming
has raised average world sea levels by about 19 cms (8 inches) in the past
century, aggravating the impact of storm surges and tides. Glaciers and ice caps
are melting and water also expands as it warms." -- BS! How odes mainstream
media allow itself to be manipulated by left-wing global terrorists? Water
"expands" when it freezes, and evaporates when it is heated. That's basic
science you can confirm in your kitchen.

Ran across an article online about little know facts from the Civil
War:
1 - "More soldiers died in the Civil War than any other American conflict —
and two-thirds of them were killed by disease. Battles weren’t as deadly as
disease, however. Diarrhea, typhoid fever, lung inflammation, dysentery, and
childhood diseases like chicken pox were the cause of 67 percent of the deaths.
Nearly 56,000 soldiers died in prison camps from starvation and disease — a
quarter of those deaths happened at one camp." -- Hmmm, seems like soldiers had
better odds of survival in prison camps. Of a personal note, my gg-uncle,
William Henry Kirven, was captured at the Battle of Lookout Mountain, and died
in Fort Morton POW camp in 1864. He was "buried" in a mass grave of the era.
2 - Black men weren’t allowed to join the army until 1863. About 180,000
black men, more than 85 percent of eligible African-Americans in the Northern
states, fought. While white soldiers earned $13 a month, black soldiers earned
only $10 — and then were charged a $3 clothing fee that lowered their monthly
pay to $7. The highest paid black soldier made less than the lowest paid white
one. After protesting by refusing to accept their wages and gaining support from
abolitionist Congressmen, black soldiers finally received equal pay in 1864 —
paid retroactively to their enlistment date." -- Well, well, well, it took a
Republican president to equalize Yankee discrimination.....

Online story: " Thousands of bicyclists, many of them stark naked, poured
into the streets of Portland, Oregon on Saturday night for the 11th annual World
Naked Bike Ride, a protest that promotes bike riding as an alternative to
driving cars. * "This is a party, but it's also a protest," said Carl Larson, a
ride spokesman. "It is about oil dependence, cycling vulnerability and body"
image.* Jennifer Young, 40, who was at the ride with her 16-year-old son and was
painted blue head to toe with fairy wings on her back, saw the goal as showing
cyclists' vulnerability, saying "I think it's a little more evident when we're
naked * Neighbors looked on as a marching band played and dancers kicked off the
start. Later a naked punk band jammed from the sidelines as bikers rolled past.
* Fred Tebo, 90, wasn't sure want to think of the hoards of naked people in the
park across the street from the house he has lived in since 1971. * "It's
entertaining and it's stupid at the same time," he said, sitting on his steps."
-- "protest... about oil dependence"? Nah... it's about wacko exhibitionists..
if they wanted to protest "oil dependence", they could have just not bought/wore
any polyester clothing.

Online story: "A Maryland dad likely won't see any charges after he struck
a local teacher with a baseball bat. * Police say the dad saw a series of texts
on Thursday between the 42-year-old teacher and his daughter, a 15-year-old
student. The girl's mother deemed them "inappropriate for a teacher and a
student" to be sharing * Investigators didn't agree and never charged the
teacher with a crime, but the situation took a downturn later that day when the
unidentified teacher showed up at the girl's house. * He wanted to speak to the
girl's father, but was told to leave, CBS local reports. When he refused, the
dad reportedly whacked him with a baseball bat. The teacher sustained minor
injuries." -- You know, the "dad" should have had a gun instead of a baseball
bat.. that or gone and got Jill Biden's shotgun.

HuffPost headline: "A Complete List Of The 2014 Tony Award Winners" -- Do
you think the HuffPost even knows half of the scandals involving Judas
00-Barnum's administration?

L-E story: "An Oklahoma company has created a protective blanket that
developers say could give children a better chance of surviving debris from a
tornado — or bullets from a 9 mm handgun. * The Bodyguard Blanket, made by
ProTecht, is a bulletproof pad designed to protect students during disasters at
school. The 5/16-inch thick rectangle features backpack-like straps that allow
users to put it on, and then duck and cover. * At $1,000 per blanket, he and
others with the company say buying one per student would be less expensive than
building tornado shelters." -- Can you see it coming... the "it's for the kids"
SPLOST campaign from our local schools? You know.. a storm shelter would be a
lot cheaper overall to begin with, but I want to know if "The Bodyguard Blanket"
comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee? As for the 9 MM protection, for a
couple of thousand for 4 or 5 good pistols, and a $50.00 sign at door saying,
"Qualified and Proficient Armed Personnel On Board" would pretty much discourage
some wacko coward from attacking a school.

Lest we forget: "During a commemoration for the 12th anniversary of 9/11, a
school in Boston made a strange decision. The school recited an Islamic poem
over the loud speaker but did not say the pledge of allegiance. * The school’s
principal only gave an apology after the community reacted with anger. Peter
Badalament said they decided to read the poem in hopes help with cross-cultural
understanding. * He told the Washington Times that only a small number of
parents were upset with what happened." -- "only a small number of parents were
upset"? This guy must be wanting to get a job as a Press Agent for Judas
00-Barnum...Wonder if he read that poem at the memorial service prior to this
year's Boston Marathon?
---
Judas 00-Barnum is getting his way..All the Sunday talk shows were about
Tali-Bergd(_*_)hl.
---
Question: Why Tali-Bergd(_*_)hl? Didn't Judas 00-Barnum "drone" another
American Taliban member?
---
I'm having a hard time with people talking about using motorized vehicles
on the RiverWalk....would it be too much longer before we started getting
stoplights and walk/don't walk signals as well?
---
I'm curious.. why does the mainstream media seem "OK" with 5 Gitmo Taliban
terrorists being released by Judas 00-Barnum, but not very interested why Judas
00-Barnum is letting a US Marine fester in a Mexican prison?
---
L-E story: "The Obama administration’s plan to reduce carbon emissions is
likely to cause Georgia to evaluate its current energy supply but also could
factor into two of the state’s biggest political races this year. * So far,
Democrat Michelle Nunn is keeping her distance from the plan, offering a
wait-and-see approach while underscoring the need to reduce carbon emissions as
she campaigns for the state’s open Senate seat. Both Republicans in the Senate
race have denounced the plan, saying the regulations are too burdensome." --
"Democrat Michelle Nunn is keeping her distance from the plan"? Yeah.. right..
only you know, I know, that she will accept Judas 00-Barnum's "plan" as soon,
well, if she gets to step into the Capitol.
---
You can also forget her concerns about other 00-Barnum decisions.. she
won't say so prior to the election, but she will vote "the Democrat Party line"
on everything... including OObamaCRAP, and the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
---
I'm also curious as to why mainstream media refers to Democratic GA Senate
candidate Michelle Martin as only Michelle Nunn? Didn't the preacher announce
her as part of the Mr & Mrs Ron Martin, Jr.?

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John F. Kerry, in his first
remarks on the prisoner swap, said Sunday that the five Taliban leaders released
in exchange for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl could be killed by the United States if
they re-enter the fight." -- Good grief! That should the job, the goal of the
American soldier... except, Judas 00-Barnum has handcuffed our soldiers so that
they can't shoot at those 5 terrorists unless those 5 terrorists shoot at them
first.. guess Judas 00-Barnum feels that is "equalizing the playing
field"..Kerry is indeed an dupe.
---
L-E headline: "POLICE: SHOOTERS KILL 1 PERSON, THEMSELVES AT VEGAS WALMART"
-- Good GRIEF! How can the L-E publish this headline and not mention that those
two shooters shot 2 policemen as they sitting down and eating lunch BEFORE the
finale at Walmart. Does the L-E not think ambushing policemen is a newsworthy
fact?
---
From a L-E "5 Questions with" feature, I see we have a new Executive
Director of "Columbus Area Habitat for Humanity". Hmmm, what happened to
Brinkley Pound?
---
L-E headline: " FLORENCE, Ala. — Officials at the University of North
Alabama are slated to discuss a potential tuition increase during an upcoming
meeting." -- Hmm, why is it that when colleges look at revenue shortages, their
first response is to look at raising tuition or adding more "fees"? You know,
looking at expenses, looking at salaries/benefits/bonuses and number of teachers
should be the first step. Look, at the rate students are graduating without
career jobs in sight, how do colleges feel that people will want to attend there
when tuition is raised?

There's a lotta noise being raised about grown-ups reading books marketed
to teens. Could it simply be that some of the novels marketed for teens would
have been sold in adult stores in past decades?
