HuffPost headline: "Great White Shark Bites Man Off Southern California
Beach" -- Ooops, my bad.. thought the HuffPost was claiming a shark stormed
ashore and snatched a tanner.

HuffPost headline: "Michelle Obama Fights GOP On School Lunch Rules" --
Hmmm, that's odd, Republicans passed her act in 2010 that went in effect in
2012. The fact that more than 1 million fewer students eat lunch at school each
day since the first round of standards went into effect in 2012, following
decades of steadily increasing participation is because students and
parent don't want what the schools are forced to serve, so they bring their own
lunches. What an ego Michelle has.. but that's not unexpected..

Online headline: "New Approach to Reduce Dysfunctional Behavior at Work" --
Ooops, my bad.. thought the Man of Steal had cleaned house at the DOJ and
IRS.

L-E story: " In 2007, Australians were ready to do something to combat
climate change, even if it was expensive. More than two-thirds of them said so
in a poll, and both major political parties vowed to make industries pay for
greenhouse-gas emissions. * The undoing of that perspective will likely be
complete after a new Senate is sworn in Monday. It's expected to give Prime
Minister Tony Abbott the votes he needs to repeal a 2-year-old tax charged to
around 350 of Australia's biggest carbon polluters. Three top political leaders
lost their jobs over the issue as support for climate-change measures plummeted.
* Australia's experience illustrates how easy it is to scuttle complicated
environmental laws, and serves as a warning to President Barack Obama, whose
recent proposal to force a 30 percent cut in power plants' carbon emissions is
drawing anger from both sides of politics." -- Hmmm, guess we can expect the
Mosqued Man to claim reading it in the L-E will be the first he's heard of
this.
---
Online story: "Evil terror boss (_*_)bu Bakr al-Baghdadi came out of the
shadows for the first time today – in a dramatic video in which he glorifies
the slaughter of innocent people. * The warlord whose jihadi militants are
behind hundreds of brutal killings in Syria and Iraq delivered a chilling sermon
to fanatics. * His 15-minute rant was filmed at the grand mosque in the captured
city of Mosul, northern Iraq. * “Allah likes us to kill his enemies and make
jihad,” he bellowed." -- Hmm ... I think we ought to send the Mosqued man to sit
across the table to apologize and negotiate Middle Eastern peace with him.

Juan Williams presented his liberal ideas so much more informatively when
he was a guest correspondent rather than as a FOX fulltime employee. Now he's
just a liberal agendarist.
---
New names to refer to the president seem to be in abundance
lately...Mosqued Man , Student Loan Ranger, and Man of Steal are current ones,
following the retirement of JUDAS 00-Barnum (possibly prematurely), and now
another one has just been conceived that addresses his absence from presidential
duties as he vacations or golfs..... Where's Waldobama?
---
L-E story: " Six employees of the city’s Inspections and Code Department,
including its director and assistant director, have not passed certifications
originally required in their job descriptions, according to documents obtained
by the Ledger-Enquirer."- Hmmm, and Mayor Obamalinson fired the certified ones,
and overlooked... discriminated against the only qualified inspector left when
she appointed the current director.
---
From above story: "(City Manager) Hugley said the fact that so many
employees were having trouble passing the certification tests in a year
indicated to him that the employees needed more time." -- Hmmm.. better yet, it
indicates that better hiring practices need to be initiated.
---
From above: "You know.. has Mayor Obamalinson put Columbus in a state of
liability for buildings that the uncertified staff has approved?
---
Hmmm, wonder if the plans for the $244K "Queen Obamalinson Throne Room" on
the RiverWalk were approved by the unqualified staff?
---
From L-E's :Columbus Council Agenda:
A resolution: "Opposing any effort to reduce the strength of Fort Benning,
the elimination of the 3rd Armor Brigade Combat Team or its movement from Fort
Benning and urging all Columbus citizens and other interested persons to contact
their congressional representatives and the U.S. Army Environmental Command to
oppose any such action. (Columbus Council)" -- Will someone tell Mayor
Obamalinson she can't eat her cake and have it, too"... She froths at the mouth
when accepting government "grants", but stammers at the government taking them
away. This is the Democrats' entitlement game plan personified. The Mosque Man
giveth before an election.. and the Mosque Man taketh away after one. Well, at
least she'll have a $244K toilet to flush her tissues down.
---
from above Council Agenda:
Public Agenda: " Ricket Carter: City, Public Safety and Racism in Columbus
Consolidated Government." -- Hmmm.. does Council squeeze Carter in before or
after the discussion of why an unqualified man was hired as the Department Head
of Inspections and Codes over a better qualified woman.. We'll address the
racial aspects after the first question is answered.
---
from above Council Agenda:
City Manager's Agenda: " It is requested that council approve the payment
to Tyler Technologies (Dallas, Texas) in the amount of $59,947.20 for annual
software license maintenance for the Energov Software Permitting System utilized
by Inspections and Code; and the Energov Software Business License System
utilized by the Finance Department’s Revenue Division. This maintenance payment
will cover ongoing support for both systems from July 1, 2014, through June 30,
2015." -- Wait a minute.. don't you think the Inspection and Codes Department
should get qualified personnel in place BEFORE renewing an annual software
contract? Heck, who from the department is qualified to testify the software
works or is useful?
---
From Council Agenda Purchases: " ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FOR MUG SHOT SYSTEM: It
is requested that council authorize payment to DataWorks Plus LLC, in the amount
of $36,207 for the annual maintenance agreement for the Photo Manager (Mugshot)
system utilized at the jail. The maintenance period will be for one year, from
Aug. 1, 2014, through July 31, 2015." -- Whoa! Didn't I read that some Sheriffs
departments were discontinuing posting mugshots online because unscrupulous 3rd
companies were posting those pictures on their own sites and charging people for
taking their mugshot pictures off their I-net sites?
---
Another Purchase item: " The Inspections and Code and Engineering
Departments’ heavy computer usage has exhausted the capacity of the current
switches at the Annex. Consequently, the IT network upgrade is needed to
increase the speed of the network at the location." -- Wait another minute!
Hasn't the Inspections and Codes Department already demonstrated it is
unqualified to make assessments?
---
Why does mainstream media find "offense" when Supreme Court decisions are
5-4, and special egregious offense when the 5-4 vote is for the conservative
aspect of a question presented to the Court? Let's face , those 9-0 decisions
should have been handled in the lower courts.. When a question is worthy of
Supreme Court consideration, there almost should be a 5-4 or 6-3 decision
determining the results.
---
Speaking of Supreme Court decisions.. does anyone know of one that the 3
women members split on?
