HuffPost story: "CAMP EDWARDS, Mass. (AP) - Police and military officials were searching Sunday for three soldiers from the Afghanistan National Army who went missing during a training exercise at a Cape Cod military base. * They were participating in a U.S. Central Command Regional Cooperation training exercise at Joint Base Cape Cod, U.S. military officials said. They arrived at Camp Edwards on Sept. 11 and were last seen at the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis. * There is no indication the soldiers pose any threat to the public, military officials said." -- "missing....arrived September 11.... at Cape Cod Mall...no indication (they) pose any threat"? -- Good grief... Obamageddon has epitomized the oxymoron "military intelligence"! How can our government give Islamic officers training and... AND the opportunity to DISAPPEAR!

---
Hmmm makes you wonder if Pric Holder was at that Mall passing out "fast&furious" weapons.

HuffPost headline: "Dianne Feinstein Wants NFL Players Accused of Domestic Violence To Be Benched" -- Hmmm.. sorta back(_*_)wards to me.. how about "NFL Players accuse Diane Feinstein and 54 other Senators for Domestic Violence"?

---
Variation headline: "Calif. senator urges NFL to act" -- and vice versa.

---
NFL... "National Felony List"... "Nightmare For Ladies"?

Speaking of the NFL.. I have a new rule change I'd like to see:
With all the money QBs make and with all the special rules in force to protect them, then the QBs should earn their money.. especially in the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter. Let's make field goal attempts that would put a team ahead during the last 5 minutes illegal. A field goal to create a tie or put more points on the board that don't give you a lead would be "OK", but instead of a QB spiking the ball/calling time out with 5 seconds on the board so some soccer kicker can come in and win the game with a chip-shot kick, make the team go for a touchdown so the other team has an opportunity to stop the play. Put some real excitement back into close games!

---
You know.. how can the NFL.. or even fans be upset at the abundance of off field violence cases players are involved? Except for the soccer kickers and maybe a QB or two, these men are basically hired for their violent nature, and it's not something easily turned off when they leave work.

---
Online headline: "Climate change takes center stage in NYC * Hundreds of thousands took to the streets of Manhattan on Sunday to declare action on climate change days before a U.N. summit." -- Good grief.. 100s of 1000s don't even slow down traffic in NYC, but where was Algore.. Jesse and Al for that matter.

---
From above story: ""We're going to lose our planet in the next generation if things continue this way," said Bert Garskof, 81, as a family member pushed his wheelchair through Times Square. * He had first heard about global warming in 1967, "when no one was paying much attention," said Garskof, a native New Yorker and professor of psychology at Connecticut's Quinnipiac University." -- Good grief.. the professor was 34 when he first started claiming the world was coming apart at the seams.. and Professor Garskof was already 31 when Jack Weinberg uttered the immortal declaration of the 60s, "Don't trust amyone over 30".

---
Online story: " Yemen's prime minister resigned Sunday, the state news agency reported, following days of violence that left more than 140 dead" -- Ooops, my bad... I thought he had "resigned" maybe got a contract extension with a performance bonus. In the immortal word of Emily Litella, "Nevermind".

---
HuffPost headline: "Emma Watson's speech takes UN by storm * The actress, in her position as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, gave a rousing talk in which she posed a challenge to the audience." -- Good grief.. how can a Hollywood "babe" have credibility to speak of world-wide women's rights? She probably would have a better chance to be accepted in the Middle-East if she took selfies of herself wearing a burqua rather than her birthday suit.

---
Hmmm... another day.. another GM recall.. this time 220,000 with brake issues that could cause a fire. GM has had recalls of over 28,000,000 vehicles just from Feb-June this year alone..That's almost 3 years of production, and we'll never know how many other cars would have been recalled if it weren't for the "Cash For Clunkers" program.

From the "incredible things you find out looking for other things on the Internet" department: "Believe it or not, chocolate not only has health benefits, but can actually help you get a better body and get fit, and in this article, you're going to discover how you can use chocolate to help you with cravings for sweet things and also to help you enhance your cardiovascular fitness. * I hope you're sitting down, because now a recent study has actually shown some means by which chocolate may actually lead to fat loss" -- This is as deep as I read the article.. when you find the ultimate excuse to eat more chocolate, you stop reading in case there is a "but" later on.

Our Mayor Obamalinson is home from Denmark on a super liberal high. She sees adding more bicycles and less guns as the way to stop crime. She sees replacing low income housing with higher income housing as the way to stop crime. She sees more loitering in our parks as the way to stop crime. She sees Utopia as the only goal of government. She should watch "Utopia" and read "Lord of the Flies" and "Animal Farm" again. And how are T.A.D.s going to help .. by raising the costs of living in such areas? What's that going to do... put more opportunities in the "End Homeless in 10 Years" committee?

---
L-E story: "The former mayor of Tampa once told (Mayor Obamalinson) that it is not where the crime is occurring that holds the answer; it’s where the crime is coming from. She asserted that if you tracked the addresses of the perpetrators of crime, you would find that by and large they come from isolated areas of economic distress and urban blight." -- Good grief.. Mayor Obamalinson is acting like she's in a "V-8" ad and someone just slapped in the forehead! Why would anyone need a poll or outside commentary to understand the relationship of poverty and crime... or that dependable jobs, self-esteem confidence and programs that support a complete family are the best answers to eliminating crime and poverty?

---
L-E story: "When Columbus Council meets Tuesday afternoon, members are expected to settle a nearly two-year claim against the city after a police cruiser struck and killed a woman crossing North Lumpkin Road to Club Ciroc." -- At 12:30 AM.. someone crossing the road to or from a bar is probably under the influence of alcohol, and probably not able/capable of making value judgements of risk/reward for jaywalking a busy street. Where is the personal responsibility of the victim in this settlement/ Further.. aren't the taxpayers of the community the real victims here?
---
Why is it that government programs are focused on hand-outs rather than hand ups? When a government representative re-contacts a recipient of government help, it should be to check on the progress of such help, not to go back to see if they need more this year. Private banks don't loan money to businesses then go back the next year to loan them more for the same project.
---
L-E headline/story: "Inquirer: Two years later, dilapidated house to go on the list * This year, we have $100,000 that we'll be able to invest in demolitions," (Deputy City Manager David) Arrington said". -- Good grief...ridding the community of eyesores is considered "investing"? It's a NECESSITY! Dilapidated and abandoned vacant buildings are a cost to the taxpayers, and getting the land cleared give the City (thus the taxpayers) quicker relief in selling said property and collecting the back taxes and demolition costs. Said buildings should be a priority, rather than a get-to-it-when-we-can project. Heck, just not building roundabouts and $244K toilets would fund all the current demolition needs.
---
LIV's L-E "soundoff": " If God does indeed cry, He must have shed many, many tears over the years because of all the people killing and dying in the name of religion." -- "If God cries"? This soundoffer obviously does not know God.. God gave up His only Son to make it possible for us to enter heaven. God did not create religion.. that is man's doings. God created a pathway to heaven.
---
L-E headline: "After White House breach, lawmakers want Secret Service to shape up" -- Good grief.. what's it matter to "lawmakers"? We need the lawbreaker, Obamageddon, to address this.. and the behavoir of his Secret Service mingling with alcohol and "women" in foreign countries.

L-E headline/story: "ATLANTA — State officials expect adding photos to food stamp cards will cost Georgia more than $7.7 million next year" -- Hmmm $7.7Million for 900,000 recipients is a little over $8.50 per photo-ID card. If true ID is part of the deal, then millions will be saved in frad annually, and 900,000 people will have state issued photo-IDs to vote with, The only folks objecting are Democrats.. Are Democrats against fraud detection in welfare and voting?
