Attention.. another moniker for the president will start making appearances. Due to his laid back format, and apparent cluelessness of the facts, in handling crises at home and around the world, another play on a well known Ayn Rand tome will be making.. meet "Factless Shrugged".

Repeat of a yesterday's thought: I believe Webster needs a new picture in its dictionaries to show an example of "futility". I suggest it be John Kerry or Hillewinsky trying to broker a peace treaty between Israel & Hamas.

About that ruling about whether a tattoo on a criminal could be used in a murder trial.. the prosecution didn't submit it for identification.. it was submitted as a "confession" in a non-traditional form.. sorta a pre-cellphone camera "selfie".

Online headline: "Typo in UC Berkeley grad's diploma goes viral" -- Hmmm.. seems some guy got a diploma from UCal Berkeley for "Communications". After it had been on his wall for 15 years, his wife was packing it to move, and noticed the diploma was conferred in "Cummunications". The major was probably offered at the San Francisco campus and the diploma blanks got mixed.

Online story: "Troy Tulowitzki has a tough name to spell, even at his own ballpark. * The Colorado Rockies handed out 15,000 jerseys with the All-Star shortstop's name misspelled in a giveaway gaffe Saturday night at Coors Field. * The second "t'' was missing, so the backs read "Tulowizki." * Many of the fans got here early. Took the shirt and left. They recognized it was a collector's item" -- One of the pitfalls for having "marijuana break rooms" at work?

Online headline/story: "Chicago's Emanuel wants city to house 1,000 more young illegal immigrants * "The influx of unaccompanied child migrants is a growing humanitarian crisis that we can no longer ignore," said Emanuel, according to The Chicago Tribune. "While we have our own challenges at home, we cannot turn our backs on children that are fleeing dangerous conditions. * The mayor’s office says the federal government will pay for the youths’ shelter, education, health care, food, safety and social services." --
BS!..Emanuel just wants the $63,000.00 per child that Factless Shrugged wants to spend per illegal minor alien..That's about $63,000,000.00 tax dollars .. initially. It will be another never ending government program if Congress doesn't stop it in its tracks.

From a fellow BCer... take a peek at this remembrance of why we once held Hollywooders in high esteem:

You know, the Columbus L-E has a special Foreclosure Section once a week, but the L-E could just as easily have a daily Crime Section. Think of the advertising potential for home security firms, arms dealers, bonding companies, lawyers, and urgent care facilities.

WTVM9 headline/story: "Feds place border crossing children in Alabama and Georgia * When children are taken into custody, they're distributed to communities around the country as they await their immigration hearings. * Alabama has received about 400 children over the past six months, and earlier this week, Governor Deal learned for the first time that Georgia is home to over 1,000 unaccompanied alien children.
* Deal wrote a letter to President Obama expressing his disappointment that the federal government has kept it a secret until now. " -- You know... these children will "get lost" in the system.. primarily because it is a government system, and no government system works very well. Now, I ask, how will dispersing these minor aliens around the country help in reuniting them with family in their home countries?

There's "news stories" circulating that suggest Michelle Obama is working on a deal to use GMO's (Genetically modified organisms) in food programs at the White House and School Lunch programs. I want to declare that the stories are hoaxes. Michelle Obama is not working on plans to do that!!! Besides, she and the Mosqued-man have already done this in the Kool-Aid distribution program.

Online story: "An Al Qaeda-linked group fighting in Syria has released video of the first American to carry out a suicide attack in the country's civil war, showing him smiling and saying he looked forward to going to heaven. * Abu-S(_*_)lha appears smiling in the video and speaks in broken Arabic. * "I want to rest in the afterlife, in heaven. There is nothing here and the heart is not resting," Abu-S(_*_)lha says. "Heaven is better. When people die they either go to heaven or hell. There is happiness beyond explanation." -- Hmmm..you know.. maybe Allah welcomes murderers .. but who wants to live forever with a god that loves misery and hate? God will be nowhere near there.

Listening to a any PLO spokesperson is akin to listening to a White House Press Agent....

Further thoughts on the hideous "evergreen" cell tower on River Road... You know.. there's something missing...a light at the top of "it" to warn night flying aircraft. Maybe the cell companies can chip in and buy a lighted "star" or "angel" to top it off for Christmas.

Online story: "A North Carolina mayor (BTW, he's a Republican) on Sunday was just a few miles away from finishing his 273-mile walk to Washington to draw attention to the closing of his small town’s local hospital and the plights of other rural facilities caught in financial bind created largely by ObamaCare, a changing economy and less federal funding. * He argues that closing the hospital, which receives federal funds, is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act because the closure disproportionately impacts poor black people." -- Talk about stealing a "play" from the Democratic Party playbook..

There's an updated list of the Top 10 "worst films with name casts".. It's a sham... no list of worst films with "name casts" is complete.. no should even be started/attempted with out "Ishtar" (with Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman in the lead roles) as Number 1, and it didn't make this list.

HuffPost "headlie" : "Legal Marijuana Gets Heavyweight Backing * New York Times Editorial Board Calls For Legalization Of Marijuana" -- Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... wouldn't go so far as to call the NYT a "heavyweight" backer... maybe a "high,, what's happenin' " kinda backer.

L-E story: "A U.S. meat supplier said Monday a Chinese subsidiary embroiled in a safety scandal fell short of its requirements for maintaining high standards." -- Good grief.. what did he expect? China has no qualms with letting lead paint children's toys, and poisonous dog food be exported to the world..

We are going to have to start calling Frank Thomas by a new name.. He stepped up to the plate at Cooperstown known as the "Big Hurt". He hit a walk-off Grand Slam. He earned a name of higher calling.. the "Big Hero". Columbus' "Big Hero".

LIV's L-E "soundoff": " I think it’s safe to say voter turnout for Muscogee County School Board runoff was sad: Approximately 2,500 voted. Heck, everyone knows schools just aren’t very important." -- Well, it was only 1 district that was voting. On the bright side.. about 700 voters who voted fro Wells in the primary did not think he was worthy enough to go back and support him.. on the other hand, John Thomas picked up about 400 new supporters. Personally, I'm quite proud on the District 2 voters!
