Online headline: "'Things began to go wrong 10 to 12 seconds in'" -- Ooooops, my bad.. thought this was an analysis of Obamageddon's presidency but it was about a space launch.

From the "Shakespeare's 21st Century version" department - Online story: "Al-Qaida is using U.S. airstrikes in Syria as a reason to extend olive branches to the renegade Islamic State group, saying the two should stop feuding and join forces to attack Western targets" -- Good grief... What's in a name....an Islamic jihadist is a Islamic jihadist. Sorta like Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings and MS13 in LA... gangs .. just gangs.

Soapbox moment: Let's talk about "diversity"... should we force it on people or just let it happen naturally. If we let it happen naturally, everybody wins...the best of our cultures are gleaned.., differences are respected, even glorified..but that's not happening fast enough for liberals. OK..let's talk about " diversity" being forced to happen. Doesn't this require "profiling" and doesn't "profiling" rankle the basic core of liberalism? Natural diversity is good..very good; forced "diversity" is just another name for "affirmative action", and no one wins.

Obamageddon made a big issue of appointing an Ebola Tsar who first turned down an opportunity to speak/listen at a Congressional Committee session, and who's seen him since?

---

You know, I have criticized the way Obamageddon focuses on TelePrompTers as he speaks in that he never looks at the camera and speaks to America from his heart. I was wrong.. it's not the TelePrompTers... Yesterday, he spoke on his current Ebola status.. no TelePrompTers, but he still ping-ponged throughout his speech.. not once did he look directly in the camera and make eye contact or heart connection with America.. who is this guy?

An early voter in GA was made to remove his NRA hat because precinct managers determined the NRA was associable with the Republican Party, so violated the 150' no-campaigning zone. Now, if a US Postal Service worker came to vote in uniform and hat, would he be made to strip since unions are associable with Democrats? Probably not.

One of Veep Bleep Biden's sons was busted for cocaine use, and mainstream media seems to be pretty much ignoring it for some reason. How come he hasn't become the "poster boy" for legalized medicinal/recreational use?

Speaking of Maryland.. an online story: "As Marylanders go to the polls, there are concerns that the vote you cast may not be for the candidate you want. * “We’ve heard from scores of citizens in our district and around the state who have had this problem where they hit one button to vote for one person, and when they go to the summary they see that the other person was checked,” said Del Nik Kipke, (R) Anne Arundel County." -- Ooops.. Maryland must have bid higher for the voting machines used in Philadelphia in 2012 when Mitt Romney received 0 - nada - zip - votes in 59 precincts.

---

Obamageddon is going to Wisconsin to speak against Gov Scott Walker's reelection...I'm guessing because of the teachers and government workers unions are calling in their chips, but what makes those unions think Obamageddon really cares about unions for anything but how their bosses throw donations to Democrats? I mean, don't the other unions remember how he threw all the Coal Miners Union members under his bus?

---

In coal states.. it's not whether there's a light at the end of the tunnel... it's more like there is no tunnel since Clinton and Obamageddon basically outlawed coal.

---

You know...when liberals publish lists of other countries healthcare systems they superior to ours, you never see them list West African countries. On the other hand, you also never hear them asking countries other than ours to go combat pandemic problems .

Know Nothing Nunn sure wraps her signs in the red,white&blue, but those are not the colors that define Democrats in Washington, DC.

From the :poetic justice" department - Online story: "Democratic Michigan gubernatorial candidate Mark Schauer registered his gubernatorial campaign staff for non-Obamacare health care plans, * Schauer registered his staff’s plans through the Small Business Association of Michigan, not through Obamacare plans. * Schauer voted for Obamacare as a U.S. congressman. The Democrat currently trails Republican incumbent Gov. Rick Snyder by about five and a half points." -- What can I add....

L-E story: "Within hours of his release from the Jackson Correctional Institute, convicted child molester Darzell Thomas Blackmon once again faced charges — this time for molesting a 10-year-old in 2008, according to court testimony. * Officials executed outstanding warrants for aggravated child molestation and child molestation once 30-year-old Blackmon was released from the Jefferson prison on his second child molestation conviction. He served nearly five years of his 20-year sentence before being released Saturday" -- GOOD GRIEF! A court system that would let a second time convicted molester out is sick... a courts system that would let a two time convicted molester out 15 years early is a perverted as the molester.

Referendum update:

In a message dated 10/28/2014 4:43:57 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, TTomlinson@columbusga.org writes:

The new taxes from the new development pay off the bonds, but the taxpayers are never on the hook for the bonds - only the bondholders are.

My response:

You've got to be kidding... or worse.. I don't have... wouldn't have.. a muni-type bond that didn't have a known collectable resource if it was dependent on the success of a tax-based "project" to pay interest.

---

In a nutshell.. do not pass a finance law that is not written in stone. This referendum, if approved, can be amended at the whim of Council by getting the local legislative delegation to submit the changes on a local courtesy basis... in other words.. a rubber stamp.

---

Have you noticed that the logo of the referendum proponents website 'Revitalize Columbus" looks like it was plagiarized from Days Inn... quite appropriate in a way... it let's you know what you're in for...

Online headline: "Wealthy Kurd building replica of the White House in northern Iraq" -- What will it be called.. Certainly not "Camp David - East".. perhaps it will be called the "Mid-Eastern retirement White House"

---

Dragging "equal pay" and "minimum wage" into the political arena is purely deceitful politics.. Pay is determined by what one brings to the table.. Companies always have some sort of entry level, but companies are competitive to keep valuable employees content and happy. If you are not happy in your job.. you may want to look at yourself.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Obama dug us out of Bush’s great recession. Provided underemployed, unemployed and those with preexisting conditions with affordable health care and killed bin Laden. Republicans filibustered everything and shut down government." -- Hmmm, how does one see this from under the bus one has been thrown under?

---

L-E story: "(Incumbent Democrat Representative Sanford) Bishop, 67, points to his 22 years in Congress, experience as a lawyer, service in the Georgia House and Senate as a record of producing for residents of the 2nd Congressional District.: -- Record of producing? Producing what.. unemployment? South Columbus South Macon, and Albany.. are three of the worst unemployment areas in the state.. and Bishop is their representative.

---

From L-E's "Today in history" feature: "In 1987, following the confirmation defeat of Robert H. Bork to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, President Ronald Reagan announced his choice of Douglas H. Ginsburg, a nomination that fell apart over revelations of Ginsburg’s previous marijuana use." -- "fell apart....Ginsburg's previous marijuana use"? Don't you know the Democrats of today would like to kick the butts of the 1987 Majority Democratic Senators who ran Ginsburg out of consideration? Familiar Democrat names abound.. Byrd, Kennedy , Biden, Nunn, Kerry, and Gore for a few.

Just curiosity.. but how can a committee even fantasize about the final four teams for the NCAA Championship series at this time? The meat of the SEC seasonal meetings between arch rivals hasn't even gotten here. As far as I'm concerned, if Mississippi State beats Alabama and Ole Miss, to go along with earlier wins over three other top 10 (at the time) SEC teams (Auburn, Texas A&M, and LSU", MSU will have beaten 5 top 10 teams just to win the SEC West. The rest of the season will be anticlimactic.

---

L-E "headlie": " HOUSE REPUBLICANS MAKE LIBERAL USE OF OBAMA IN ADS" -- WRONG! It should read, " HOUSE REPUBLICANS MAKE CONSERVATIVE USE OF OBAMA IN ADS". Well, if the Democrats don't want to acknowledge Obamageddon.. it's Obamageddon's fault, but he is still The Story.

---

The hypocrisy of the L-E amazes me.. in the "Life & Taste" section.. all Halloween long the L-E will feature homemade goodies Moms can whip up in their kitchens, yet on Halloween, the L-E will run editorials warning parents to check out their children's goodie bags, and throw out anything that's not commercially packaged.

Why is mainstream media so shocked that Fox's "Utopia" is an absolute flop? Because mainstream media has always supported the "utopian" agenda of the Democrats, and can't believe is doesn't work in reality.

---

Rumor has it NBC/MSNBC will revitalize "Utopia" as a mid-season show.. They believe "Utopia"will work but the right people just haven't tried it.
