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?
