HuffPost headline/story: "Cashier Told Obama A Gay Sex Joke And Got The Best Reaction * During a recent visit to Texas, President Barack Obama made a stop at Franklin Barbecue in Austin, where he ordered a ton of meat and was seen giving a cashier one of his famous fist bumps. * As the president approached, W*** threw his hand down and slapped the counter dramatically. "Equal rights for gay people!"
* "Are you gay?" the president asked. * "Only when I have sex," [W*** said.] * "That's when he laughed and said, 'Bump me,'" W*** says." -- Hmmm, wonder if the HuffPost and Mosqued Man would have thought this would have been "funny" if a black person told a black joke, or a Jew made a Jew joke, or a Pollock made a Pollock joke? Hey, did you hear the one about the Black Preacher, the Jewish Rabbi, and the Pollock Priest .....?

Online story: "Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper also seems to have had a change of heart about marijuana. He opposed Amendment 64, his state's legalization initiative, * In a recent interview with Reuters, Hickenlooper conceded that the consequences of letting people grow, sell, and consume pot without risking arrest have not been as bad as he feared. * "It seems like the people that were smoking before are mainly the people that are smoking now," Hickenlooper said as Colorado marked six months of legal recreational sales at the end of June. "If that's the case, what that means is that we're not going to have more drugged driving, or driving while high." -- Hmmm... give it time, Governor... give it time...

Hmmm.. listening to the Colorado Governor, you have to wonder if it was only a beer he offer the Mosqued man over a game of pool....

You know...the Republican Party needs to nominate Benjamin Netanyahu for President in 2016, and dare mainstream media to challenge his birth certificate.

Our MCSD system administrative department has been hard at work... making it impossible for families with high school students who drive being able to take their middle or elementary school siblings to or from school to help out their parents. This is the new schedule:

Elementary schools - 7:15 a.m. breakfast; 8 a.m. start; 2:30 p.m. dismissal.
Middle schools — 8:20 a.m. breakfast; 8:50 a.m. start; 3:52 p.m. dismissal.

High schools — 7:55 a.m. breakfast; 8:25 a.m. start; 3:20 p.m. dismissal.

You know.. better scheduling practices would probably save the school system a lot of money with less students riding buses if high school students could drive/pick-up their siblings.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Jesus said: “Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Yet, so-called Christian conservatives want to forbid them from coming to our country." -- Hmmm, and exactly where did Jesus say..

---

LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Jesus, the Bible and the U.S. Constitution confirm that all are created equal. Why do some Republicans dispute that?" -- Hmmm, and when did Jesus advocate that using someone else's money and taking claim for helping others would get you into heaven?

You know.. all those unmarried people who are so certain that being against abortions and birth control are anti-Christian should quote the scripture where God condones out-of-wedlock sexual activity.

L-E editorial comment: "The resignation of Greg Coates as director of the city’s Inspections and Codes Department is unfortunate, but appropriate. It is unfortunate because Coates reportedly did a very good job of healing a broken and unhappy city agency plagued with falsified documents, harassment, unpleasant dealings with citizens, and morale problems. “We went from having complaints of rudeness in the department to having none at all,” Mayor Teresa Tomlinson said of Coates’ tenure" -- This is BS.. If the department was running so smoothly, Coates would not have been forced to resign over something that still could be acquired.
