Online headline/story: "Ferguson protesters plan to halt St. Louis Labor Day traffic *
organizers asked supporters to drive onto local highways around 4:30 p.m. Monday and stop their cars for four and a half minutes - symbolizing the four and a half hours Michael Brown's body laid in the street after he was killed * Z(_*) B(_*_), the organizer says, "If some of our demands are not dealt with, you'll see more civil disobedience in the spirit of Dr. King, because we're not just going to sit by and just let injustice be constantly impacting us." -- Good grief... after ignoring the message of Dr King for the past 50 years, all of a sudden the false messengers are invoking their own interpretation of King's message to suit themselves.

Online story: " Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie said he lost his bid for re-election in a Democratic primary because of his decision to call a special session to legalize gay marriage. * Republicans are allowed to vote for Democrats in Hawaii's open primary, and Abercrombie said they chose to vote against him because of his support for gay marriage and because they think his party rival, state Sen. David Ige, is an easier target to beat in the general election. * "Republicans crossed over en masse to vote in the Democratic primary, and then the religious factor came in, * Abercrombie lost to Ige by a stunning 2-1 margin, the first time a Democratic governor has been unseated in a Hawaii primary. * Republican gubernatorial candidate James "Duke" Aiona said he's flattered that Abercrombie thinks there are so many Republicans in Hawaii that they could have caused such a huge defeat. -- The Republican candidate nailed Abercrombie's excuse.

With crossover voters creating unintended results in both Democratic and Republican primaries about the country, maybe it's time for the public to stop being saddled with paying the costs of private primaries. All political parties are private business entities, so let them run their own primaries and decide their own candidates for the November General Election (or Special Elections') dates.

Getting details on Hawaii Governor Abercrombie's primary upset, took me to the 2012 Election Presidential results. Obamageddon defeated Romney by 3,473,402 popular votes and 126 Electoral College votes. That looks pretty convincing...... until you look at what the results were in two states... California & New York. California and New York combined gave Obamageddon 3,940,986 more popular votes than Romney, so the other 48 states gave Romney a 467,584 popular vote majority. Looking at the Electoral votes.. Obamageddon had 332 to Romney's 206. If you eliminate CA's 55 and NY's 29, The Electoral vote would be 248 to 206, yet the Congressional House and Senate races sent 256 Democrats/Independents and 279 Republicans to Washington. Now, if you eliminate CA & NY Congressional/Senate representatives from each party's totals, the other 48 states are represented by 190 Democrats and 261 Republicans. Do you see any National mandate for Democratic Party socialism?

Online story: "The owner of Java Juggs, a drive-thru coffee stand in Everett, Wash., is facing prostitution charges after investigators found bikini-clad employees selling more than just caffeinated drinks." -- Washington State just legalized illegal marijuana in the last election, guess legalizing "Recreational Sex" will be on the next ballot.

Wow... a Japanese high school baseball game went 50 innings (over 4 days) before one team won. The winning pitcher went all the way... threw a shut-out with a total of 709 pitches (about 14 PPI) Amazing, huh... well, the losing pitcher pitched a complete game (and 49 shut-out innings) as well, and threw "only" 689 pitches.

HuffPost headline: "John Kerry: U.S. To Push For Coalition To Fight 'Cancer' Of Islamic State" -- Yeah.. guess he'll wear a Pink Ribbon on his lapel...

HuffPost headline: "Michael Sam Cut As St. Louis Rams Finalize Roster" -- Hmmm.. their are 32 NFL teams and each carries a roster of 53 players, so the real news was that 1,696 players got a seasonal job, but the HuffPost chose to highlight 1 of 704 people who didn't make the final cut.. Wonder if the HuffPost knows the name of any of the other 703 players who got cut?

L-E headline/story: ‘STOP THE VIOLENCE’ * Mayors (sic) Tomlinson holds a rally to unite the community to end violence * Around 500 people attended the service at the Columbus Civic Center to mourn the 18 homicide victims in the city this year. * That’s one more than were recorded in all of 2012." -- Other than the L-E ignores the death on the CSU campus which makes the 2014 number 2 higher than all of 2012 only"500 people attended"? -- You know.. I was not even aware such a rally was called, but as many voters who believed Mayor Obamalinson's assurances before the election that Columbus's crime rates were better since she took office, there shouldn't have been an empty seat in the Civic Center.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": So Fox thinks Putin, who lies to the world, restricts the press and occupies other countries is a better leader than Obama? They’d pick anybody, even Idi Amin, just as long as it wasn’t Obama." -- Hmmm... and mainstream media feels comfortable with Obamageddon attacking the 1st and 2nd Amendments that guarantee their jobs.. PS.. mainstream media KNOWS, too, Putin is a better leader... but Obamageddon's lack of leadership is not important to MSM.

Hey, did you know that the "Black Softball Circuit World Series" was held in Columbus, GA this weekend? Hey, I have an idea.. why not a diversity merger with the Black Softball Circuit" and the "White Softball Circuit" so there would be an indisputable Champion, and even teams with integration. Ooops, I forgot... there is no "White Softball Circuit".
