Online story: "An American doctor who was exposed to the Ebola virus while volunteering in Sierra Leone was admitted Sunday to a hospital at the National Institutes of Health near the nation's capital. * NIH said that out of "an abundance of caution," the physician was admitted to a special isolation unit. NIH infectious disease chief Dr. Anthony Fauci said that in general, an exposure to Ebola doesn't necessarily mean someone will become sick." -- "doesn't necessarily mean someone will become sick"? Good grief... It's Washington! Just look at all the first time politicians who go to Washington excited to change things, but are the ones changed by Washington!

Did you know there's a list of the "20 Sexiest Female Democrats"? The truth is that Hillary is on the list, and the #1 lost her Congressional seat in the 2010 Democrat primary. Now, who is waging a "war on women"?
---
Online story update: "Authorities searched Sunday for a suspect in the shooting of a police officer in Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb where there have been angry protests since a white officer fatally shot an unarmed 18-year-old black man last month. * Although there were two protests about the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown happening when the officer was shot Saturday night, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at a news conference early Sunday that he didn't think they were related to the wounding of the officer." -- Wasn't "related" to Ferguson protests? He said the same thing on Saturday, too... does he believe any one but mainstream media will believe that if he repeats it often enough?
---
Online story update, too: "a contract employee was able to sabotage a regional control center and bring Chicago's two international airports to a halt. * via a swipe card, said employee entered around 5 a.m. Friday, 23 of 29 computer racks were damaged, and about 30 minutes later posted a suicide note on Facebook, according to a federal criminal complaint. * Paramedics followed a trail of blood past a gas can, two knives and a lighter and found the suspect slashing his throat," -- Hmmm.. a suicidal domestic terrorists at a minimum, but no government spokesperson will address it as such.
---
Online story: "- A shooting sent terrified patrons scrambling from a Miami nightclub around 1:00 AM Sunday and left 15 people wounded, including 5 girls between the ages of 11 and 17. * Many young people were at the site * at least three of the wounded were transferred to a pediatric unit, * investigators are interviewing the club owner to determine what type of club The Spot is and why so many underage children were there, -- Again.. the "war" is not one of racism.. it's a "cultural war" that communities will have to cooperate with law enforcement to solve.

HuffPost "headlie": "Obama: We misjudged ISIS" -- What do you mean, "we"? Obamageddon simply cannot.. no. will not take of accept blame/responsibility of neither his actions nor inactions, and even mainstream media is beginning to side with the Bush family.

Online story: "The 2015 Corvette comes with 650 horses, a supercharged V8 engine under the hood and a feature called Valet mode. * Along with being able to lock your entertainment system and compartments in your car, valet mode can also record what happens in the car while your gone, that includes audio. * The problem is, in plenty of states all over the country secretly recording audio of another person's conversation without their consent is a felony." -- Hmmm...a car that secretly records valets is a felony, but politicians a lying to voters, IRS agents lying to Congress, and the NSA recording our telephone calls never result in arrests or jail time.. what's wrong with this picture?
---
Online story: "Gov. Jerry Brown announced Sunday that he has signed a bill that makes California the first in the nation to define when "yes means yes" and adopt requirements for colleges to follow when investigating sexual assault reports. * the legislation will begin a paradigm shift in how college campuses in California prevent and investigate sexual assaults. Rather than using the refrain "no means no," the definition of consent under the bill requires "an affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity." -- Wow! don't get me wrong, rape is a violent, and inexcusable crime, but it looks like consenting couples are going to have to sign pre-pre-nuptials before going out on a first date. And what about minors.. will they have to get their parents to co-sign permission to be sexual? Oh, and what about minors who use their false IDs and give consent that isn't valid in a court suit? Looks like the lawyers in the CA legislature have created a permanent flow of work for recent law grads.
---
Comment about above... looks like minors can get birth control pills, Plan B, or abortions without parental consent, but now will have to get parental consent to be sexually active.

Online headline: "Ohio State football coach punishes fan who rushes the field" -- Good grief.. at least Woody Hayes tackled somebody on the other team..
---
Just saw where an old "Easy Bake Oven" was worth over $300.00. Question: Now that incandescent light bulbs are no longer made, will the value of an "Easy Bake Oven" be a victim of government intrusion?

Soapbox moment: Libs stand in line for days to buy the latest iPhone, none of which are made in America, yet rail against any corporate tax incentives that would make it beneficial for manufacturers to create jobs in America. Good grief... liberals.. we can't live with them and they want to ban guns so we can't shoot them.
---
Online story: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr was a leading figure in one of the biggest climate change marches to date. * But it seems Robert F Kennedy Jr was not so forthcoming when it came to questions about his own carbon footprint. * Confronted by a reporter asking if he would give up his phone and car, the environmental lawyer became visibly irate before grabbing the microphone and accusing her of ‘destroying democracy’ as a member of the press." -- Libs live their perfect lives in their minds, but want only others to live one in real life.

The PGA is going to need a format change in order to get our Ryder Cup teams better prepared. Currently, the purses are so big, there's almost a penalty for players to play aggressively once they've made the weekend cut. If the PGA would cut the purses in half, the give half of the purse to the winner, we'd see a lot more aggressive shots being taken when they are called for, which would make our players better match play players.

Hmmm.. seems businesses in the Merry Acres Business Park are suffering from a bad entry road that the city doesn't own nor is responsible for, and the city has told the business owners they are responsible for the repairs/maintenance. The City is right. On the other hand, most city streets are in rough shape, some downright dangerously so, but Council is spending money, money earmarked for transportation needs on projects such as the $244K RiverWalk bathroom instead. The Council has also voted the tunnel under thye rails at the Buena Vista Road "spider web", which was the most expensive option. Why wouldn't the Council vote for a better, less expensive option than use the savings to address other city street issues?

L-E headline: "Congressional Black Caucus Foundation honors Dr. Robert Wright" -- A good man by his on accord, Dr. Wright doesn't need to be "honored" by the "Black Congressional Caucus". In fact, the disassembly of the "CBC" would honor Dr. Wright's contributions better.
---
Let's look at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. Well, the New York Times, oft cited :bible" of the liberals did. In fact, via Wikipedia, "A New York Times article that investigated the caucus’s connections to corporate interests reported that from 2004 to 2008, the Congressional Black Caucus’s political and charitable wings took in at least $55 million in corporate and union contributions.[2] * The caucus says its nonprofit groups are intended to help disadvantaged African Americans by providing scholarships and internships to students, researching policy and holding seminars on topics like healthy living. * In 2008, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation spent more on the caterer for its signature legislative dinner and conference — nearly $700,000 for an event one organizer called “Hollywood on the Potomac” — than it gave out in scholarships, federal tax records show." In 2010, the Dallas Morning News reported that congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson had awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and a top aide's two children using foundation funds. The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. I also remember members of Congressman Bishop's family and staff were getting scholarships illegally as well as reported in the Columbus L-E. Yes, disassembly of the CBC would honor Dr, Wright more appropriately.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Liberalism is simply opposing the conservative thinking of the day. So yes, Jesus was most certainly a liberal. And America was founded as a liberal nation. Get over yourself." -- Good grief.. I knew public educators were failing today's kids in teaching history, but this sounds like a public school graduate! America was founded by good people seeking religious freedoms and shaking government shackles... the two ingredients needed for a country to become great. What's sad is that those two ingredients are necessary for a great country to remain so.
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.” — Eleanor Roosevelt, American first lady (1884-1962)." -- Hmm, with all the copycatting Obamageddon has done for the liberalness of the Roosevelts, you'd think he knew this before he appointed himself the "Beer Summit" mediator, and before he appointed Pric Holder as the US Attorney General.
---
L-E's "Quotable": "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading" - Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher (604-531 B.C.) -- Quick.. somebody please call Obamageddon and tell him we HOPE he will CHANGE directions yesterday!
---
There's a purported "op-ed" commentary in the L-E today written by ANN MCFEATTERS, an op-ed columnist for McClatchy-Tribune. You know, you'd think that an "op-ed" commentary for McClatchy would be from a conservative rather than someone on its payroll.
---
L-E headline: "GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION * DOT BUYING IMAGE-BOOSTING RADIO ADS * Highway officials spending thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to boost image" -- Good grief.. the GA DOT could spend that money on road repairs rather than ads and $244K bathrooms on the RiverWalk, and get a lot better image boost.
---
L-E story: " A 33-year-old Columbus man was beaten and robbed early Sunday morning on Brennan Road, according to a police report. * The man told officers he was walking down the street around 2:15 a.m. when two black men and one black female, all believed to be in their early 20s, “jumped” him." -- Wow.. now just wait until that tunnel is built out there, and muggers have a controlled access/egress to pick out targets.
