Online story: " The government's own watchdogs tried to hack into HealthCare.gov earlier this year and found what they termed a critical vulnerability - but also came away with respect for some of the health insurance site's security features." -- "critical vulnerability"? "respect for some.....security features"? You know... even birth control pills/devices that promise 99% protection cannot prevent all pregnancies, and what's the difference at being "a little bit pregnant" and pregnant? The website is either "secure" or it's not.

I have an update and correction ... Algore did show up at the NYC "Climate Control" parade on Sunday.. so did Leonardo DiCRAPrio.. Both came in their personal jets and limousines What a way for them to make a statement about their concern for carbon footprints.
---
Speaking of "footprints", it sure would have been nice if all the concerned protesters in Sunday's NYC parade had picked up after themselves. Whatta mess they left for others.. but then again.. that's their modus operandi.

HuffPost "headlie": "Kerry: Time running out on climate" -- You know.. 7 years ago Algore predicted the Ice Cap would be completely melted by this time, yet satellite images show summer ice cap is thicker and covers 1.7 million square kilometers MORE than 2 years ago.
---
Another update.. those 3 Afghani officers who disappeared from a Massachusetts Mall were captured trying to get into Canada. Brings back memories from the 60s-70s when pacifists fled the US. Hmmm... are those 3 Afghanis pacifists going AWOL, or did they simply know something about ISIS plans for America?
---
It's scary that Mid-Eastern Islamists have a tougher job getting out of America than into it.

Mayor Obamalinson omitted a couple of pertinent facts in her glowing Copenhagen, Denmark assessment.. Denmark has a progressive Income tax percentage, so your tax depends on the income. It will typically start around 40% - 45% of the total income and can for high earners reach approx. 60% MARGINAL tax (not to be confused with total/average tax percentage). This is the sum of municipal, health (formerly regional) and state tax, and the current cost of 4 liters of gas (slightly more than a gallon US is $8.96. Now you know why "Joe Average" either doesn't own or can't afford to drive a car if he does own one.

From the "Jeopardy" department - HuffPost headline: "What's on Obama's agenda? -- What is the question most asked by Biden, the DNC, and mainstream media?
---
You know, if Obamageddon was doing a good.. even sorta good job defending our borders, leading our military, and positively influencing our economy, there would be no need to beef up the White House security.
---
Maybe we should dress our Navy SEALs like mainstream media journalists so they could have free access to the tents of ISIS leaders and could take care of business.
---
Online headline: "300 pound bear kills hiker in Northern New Jersey" -- Hmmm That's about the same size as the man who attacked Officer Wilson in Ferguson, MO.
---
Online story: "Lions middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee while celebrating a sack in Sunday's game against the Packers. * Tulloch was injured in the first quarter after dropping Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers. After the play, Tulloch sprung to his feet and appeared to mimic Rodgers' signature celebration, the so-called Discount Double Check, but landed awkwardly and fell to the ground." -- Not For Losers.
---
You know, if today's mainstream media existed in the 1770s, England would probably still be in control.
---
Online story: "Lois Lerner, the former head of the IRS tax-exempt unit, speaking with Politico, gave her first media interview since the scandal broke 16 months ago over her division targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny. Though she used the interview to claim she “didn’t do anything wrong,” she has twice refused to answer questions before Congress. * House oversight committee Chairman Darrell Issa is renewing his call for embattled ex-IRS official Lois Lerner to testify before Congress, after she used a media interview to assert her innocence and say she’s “not sorry for anything.” -- Pric Holder should be pouncing on this.
---
Can you believe that Obamageddon is asking voters in state elections "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?" Good grief.. that was before OObamaCRAP took place, so who can answer "yes"?
---
L-E story: "Clorox is shutting down all operations in Venezuela, citing restrictions by the government, supply disruptions and economic uncertainty. * Shares jumped 3 percent before the opening bell Monday" -- Well, so much for Obamageddon's desire to model our business community after Hugo Chavez's version in the autographed book he got..
---
Online story: "An $11,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct levied against San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick resulted from his use of a racial slur during a game last week, Fox Sports reported on Sunday. * Fox Sports' Jay Glazer, citing an unidentified National Football League referee, said Kaepernick slung the "N-word" at Chicago Bears' defender Lamarr Houston as the two exchanged insults after a play in the Sept. 14 game. Houston is black and Kaepernick is biracial." -- Good grief... Obamageddon is biracial, and you don't think he's muttered a few n-words in his day... maybe even in a few White House pick up games of b-ball.
---
Online story: "African-American state lawmakers are demanding answers from Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp about the uncertain status of tens of thousands of voter applications gathered by a nonprofit focused on getting minority voters to the polls on Nov. 4. And they're vowing to get the U.S. Justice Department involved if Kemp's office drags its feet on the issue." -- "uncertain status of tens of thousands of voter applications gathered by a nonprofit focused on getting minority voters to the polls on Nov. 4"? You mean from that New Georgia Project that violated the "non-partisan" provision of the regulation that was a condition of such?
---
Online story: "Macon-Bibb County will consider adding a Sunday voting day before November’s general election." -- Good grief... and collect the ballots by passing the offering plates?
---
From this weeks City Council Agenda: "It is requested that council authorize the execution of a construction contract with River City Contracting Inc. (Columbus) in the amount of $234,501 for the Metro Police Building renovations. * The building is located at 525 10th Ave. The work consists of roofing, fencing, pipe bollards, exterior security bars, new doors and hardware, restrooms, drywall, mechanical ventilation system and battery-operated emergency lights." -- "exterior security bars"? Are we having troubles keeping prisoners in...or having a problem keeping criminal out?
---
From this weeks City Council Agenda: " OASIS SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND REAPPRAISAL — It is requested that council approve the purchase of the Oasis System upgrade (iasWorld) at $2,756,115 and Reappraisal at $1,700,000 from Tyler Technologies (Dallas, Texas); and Annual Maintenance in the amount of $184,560." -- Didn't we upgrade the Tax Assessor's computer/software systems last week or so because they hadn't been updated in 20+/- years? Why are annual upgrades/maintenance done in some aspects of the City but not in all?
---
From City Council Agenda: "Traffic volumes along Second Avenue are mainly pass-through travelers. Second Avenue takes residents that live on the north side of Columbus to their jobs at TSYS, Synovus, City Government and Aflac. It is also the direct connection from the J.R. Allen Parkway and the Interstate, therefore, it will be the route traveled by many whitewater visitors. It should operate at a high capacity; however, it should also serve as a gateway to our community that welcomes travelers with a diverse range of businesses, appropriate access management and ample parking and operate as City Village’s neighborhood servicing commercial corridor." -- If Council wants to improve traffic/traffic conditions, and save money on Second Avenue maintenance, Council should issue a ban on dump trucks carrying quarry rock down Second Avenue. A great deal of the route is basically asphalt laid on top of the old brick road bed, and the dump trucks constantly destroy the asphalt.

L-E's "Thought for Today": “Ours is a problem in which deception has become organized and strong; where truth is poisoned at its source; one in which the skill of the shrewdest brains is devoted to misleading a bewildered people.” — Walter Lippmann (1889-1974)." -- Wow.. this is the creedo and goal of the Democratic National Committee and the lifestyle verse of Obamageddon and his spokesteam.
