HuffPost headline: "Nobel Peace Prize Winners Urge Obama To Release CIA Torture Report" -- Yeah.. and while Obamageddon is at it, how about releasing the truthful reports of the OObamaCRAP disaster, the IRS e-mails, ...oh.. and his college/scholarship applications... grades, too.

Online story: "New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced new quarantine guidelines on Sunday evening for patients who may have been exposed to Ebola. * The new guidelines will allow health care workers who have had contact with patients infected with Ebola to stay at home for 21 days, rather than at a medical facility." -- Good grief.. unmonitored at home quarantine..why.. so the exposed can further expose their families.. so they can flush body waste into the sewer systems, so they can put their contaminated trash out on the streets for the enjoyment of garbage collectors and people walking by there?

Online headline: "NY, NJ soften Ebola protocol after White House criticism" -- Hmmm.. now we know why Chris Christie is so rotund... there's a Democrat inside of him, and like all Democrats, they are Obamageddon puppets.

There's a Mexican restaurant in Colorado that's being doing business under the name of "Illegal Pete's" for almost 20 years. It been successful, created jobs, and has grown into multiple locations throughout Colorado. Pete is set to open a new site in Ft Collins, CO in about 3 weeks but a group of about 30 people are protesting for Pete to change the store name. Hmmmm, how about "Undocumented Pedros"? Stay the course Pete! Liberal movements have already destroyed the word "gay".

Politically correct Halloween Carnivals are the pits. There was a Halloween costume contest without a winner. Yeah...the kids were just asked to line up and walk around, and a name was later pulled out of a hat. I think the winner was "Size 7 3/8s".

---

This years scariest costume idea .. dressing your kid like a Louis Farrankhan Islamic body guard for your kid's school Fall Festival.

Random thought: You know, how can the DOJ monitor..keep tabs on aliens who come into our country yet not "profile" them?

You know, South Carolina got cheated on the last play of the game. Auburn had 2 players in the last line-up wearing #1. Since the game cannot end on a defensive penalty ( unless the other team is winning or refuses the penalty) , the interception should have been overruled, Auburn penalized 5 yards, and South Carolina getting one more snap. Either that, or the refs should have stopped the play before it started, moved the ball up the 5 yards, and made Auburn play without one of the "1s"...

Online story: "The most powerful business group in the country is spending tens of millions of dollars to help Republicans win control of the Senate with one glaring omission — the tight Georgia Senate race. * Rob Engstrom, political director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said Friday that the organization will stay on the sidelines in the contest between businessman David Perdue and Democrat Michelle Nunn in Georgia as well as the competitive Louisiana race pitting three-term Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu against Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy. * the Chamber has spent heavily in the midterm elections, determined to elect candidates receptive to their pro-business agenda" -- "elect candidates receptive to their pro-business agenda"? Wait a minute.. how can the US Chamber not openly support the Republican Party in the GA and LA races? Surely the Chamber cannot think having either incumbent Senator Landrieu of LA, or newcomer Nunn of GA would benefit the economic growth interests of America...

Online story: "A foundation chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Secretary of State John Kerry is funding a radical anti-Israel, anti-American snack bar near the Carnegie Mellon and Pittsburgh University campuses.

* The restaurant, Conflict Kitchen, which proudly boasts that it serves food only from countries with which the U.S. is in conflict, received a $50,000 grant from the Heinz Endowment in April to assist it in moving locations. * However, the restaurant lately has been serving its hummus and baba ghanoush sandwiches in propaganda wrappers that carry quotes from Palestinians opposing the existence of the state of Israel and has hosted panel discussions featuring pro-Palestinian speakers, in which supporters of the Jewish community and Israel have not been allowed to participate by the restaurant's owners" -- What does this say to the world about Obamageddon's choices for Secretaries of State.. the current one has an anti-Semitic wife, and the first one tolerates an openly philandering husband. ....Wait a minute.. it's becoming clear.. both Secretaries are desirable in Islamic circles, and keep Obamageddon on the party invitation A-List there.

Online story: "On an interview Thursday, ex-NBA all star Charles Barkley responded to the rumors over Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s receiving criticism over not being “black enough” from some of his teammates. He then addressed a larger issue within the black community, one Barkley described as a “dirty, dark secret.” * ‘We Are Brainwashed To Think, If You’re Not A Thug Or An Idiot, You’re Not Black Enough’" -- Whatta nutshell encapsulation of why the black community is in total cultural collapse! We saw it locally when the black bloc vote rejected NAACP President Nate Sanderson's run for the school board because he had Republican support. We see it when groups rally for Trayvon, protest for Michael Brown, yet say nothing about the proliferation of black-on-black crime on the streets. Dr King would be more disappointed today at black leaders who promote racial segregation than he was when Democrats promoted racial segregation in the 50s and 60s. He'd be especially disappointed in the bloc vote blacks have for the Democrats.

---

Now Michael Brown "I-witnesses" are crying foul as the truth appears and paints Brown in a bad way. Excuse me, I think Brown painted himself into a bad position.

Online story: "With their latest project, Oscar-winning actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, will boldly go where they have gone before ... creating films that makes businesses the bad guys." -- Ha-ha-ha!!! They gotta be kidding! Whatta a no-brainer for them as they won't have to stretch their talents. On top of that, their first script is themselves.. no business has been as bad for America than the Hollywood movie industry.. it has undermined the moral of our children, it has glorified drugs and gang life and scumbags, and it has altered history by change the perspectives and ending of classic period pieces.

L-E "soundoff": "The only candidate worthy of my vote is the one who solemnly vows to leave me alone and means it." -- Well, we know this guy is not going to vote for any Democrats because they cannot exist without at least one hand trying to pick his wallet out of his pocket.

---

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Before you start blaming Obama for the handling of the Ebola crisis, just remember who voted to cut funding for the CDC and the NIH." -- Good grief.. somebody must have given this giy Kool-Aid to down his Ebola placebo with.

---

Tell you what.. the L-E could do us all a favor by running LIV "soundoff" entries through "Fact Checker" before printing them.

L-E headline/story: "Try these healthier alternatives to Halloween candy this year
Don’t be scared of the scale this Halloween. If you have a monster craving, opt for treats with fewer calories and more nutritional punch. TOPS suggests these alternatives:
• Instead of a milk chocolate bar, choose dark chocolate cocoa-roasted almonds
• Instead of candy corn, choose golden raisins
• Instead of peanut butter and chocolate candy, choose an apple and natural peanut butter
• Instead of a popcorn ball, choose air-popped popcorn
• Instead of fruit-flavored candy, choose grapes
Just remember: If you eat more calories, move more to burn them.---

Good grief.. what's the L-E advocating, closing Party City, Brach's and Hershey?

---

L-E feature: "Online comment of the day
“ ... Such redevelopment would be suitable for many areas of South Columbus, MidTown, downtown, etc. The Liberty District would be a prime spot for a TAD and hopefully the stakeholders there are learning all they can about how this could benefit the district. ...” -- Hmmm.. sorta looks like North Columbus thrives on private development so the powers that be are occluding North Columbus. Now, the fact is that developments in North Columbus are successful is because developers believe in what they are doing, and are willing to risk their own money; the TAD projects will never have the success commitment.

From the Columbus City Manager's Agenda in the L-E : "TREE REMOVAL SERVICES (ANNUAL CONTRACT) — It is requested that council approve the execution of a tree removal service contract with Elite Tree Service Inc. (Columbus). The bid price is based on various tree sizes, and the services will be utilized on an “as needed” basis. The Public Works Department budgets approximately $70,000.00 per year for these services." -- Wait a minute.. We taxpayers have been forced to pay for an in house stump grinder and a 100' reach "cherry picker basket tree cutter/trimmer. Why are we outsourcing tree removal services. Has anybody looked into whether there's a personal connection of the recommended contractor and anyone in the City administration?

---

From above story: "30 FOOT LOW FLOOR TROLLEY BUS (ANNUAL CONTRACT) — It is requested that council authorize the annual contract to purchase 30 foot low floor trolley buses from Gillig LLC. (Haywood, Calif.). The unit price, per fiscal year of the contract is $435,847.00." -- $436K buses? It would one thing if METRA paid for itself through paying riders, but that's not the case, nor will be the case. Surely there are less costly bus options that will be more than satisfactoy.

Another folly from the Council Agenda: "Nov. 26: Redevelopment Plan for Claflin School — The city of Columbus is requesting proposals from experienced, creative architects, building and real estate development firms or a philanthropic individual or nonprofit group to present a redevelopment , plan for adaptive reuse of the Claflin School building that will be consistent with applicable deed restrictions and preserve the historic site." -- Good grief.. what on earth will comply with property restrictions and be successful next to a cemetery? Is there anyone in the City that actually looks at all the aspects before throwing money away on something? Hey.. how about making it a free standing $244K bathroom with trolley bus service from the 14th Street Bridge and RiverWalk?
