Online story: "The Obama administration on Tuesday threatened to veto a bipartisan tax deal that would reportedly create permanent tax perks for corporations without advancing key tax breaks for middle- and low-income families." -- Good grief..Obamageddon knows less about economics than he does about the Constitution!

Abe Lincoln reminded us that we are a country "of the people, by the people, for the people", do you think he was telling us there's a time we have to take our government back from the current elected rulers? I'm sure Lincoln would approve if "the people" chose to bypass the Constitution and Congress like Obamageddon does, and just impeach and convict him ourselves.

You know, the lootings and violence following Officer Wilson being cleared just shows that liberals do not believe we are a nation of laws. Sadder is that the leader of the liberal element, President Obamageddon , has been instrumental in creating this disrespect for laws.

Ferguson..how can a community be safe..feel safe ..when it's the community devouring itself?

Listening to David Clarke, Sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin on Fox News.. an impressive individual.. His grasp of reality and problem solving really topped all the inflammatory rhetoric we've been subjected to by mainstream media, Obamageddon, Pric Holder and Missouri Gov Nixon. Sheriff Clarke should be the only spokes voice for the duration of the current racial flare-up.

Online headline: "Activist Attorney General Eric Holder to Officer Wilson: It’s Not Over Until I Say It’s Over" -- Well.. that seems appropriate.. it was Pric Holder that inferred he was the hanging judge and jury when it started.

---

The simple truth is that if Michael Brown obeyed the laws, obeyed police instructions, then Michael Brown would not be dead, and we would not know Officer Wilson's name.

This Thanksgiving, there is no shortage of turkeys in Ferguson, MO.

From the "poetic justice" department - Online story: "Alexis Templeton has become extraordinarily vocal in the case of Mike Brown. Although she was living in Arizona, Templeton flew to Ferguson, Missouri to join the riots after learning of his death. * In mid-November, Templeton left her home in Arizona to protest. When she came back, she found her house ransacked and looted." -- You can't make this stuff up...

Online story: "An Atlanta coalition called “Shut It Down Atlanta” plans gatherings at Underground Atlanta at 5 p.m. Tuesday, the day after the Ferguson grand jury decision is announced." -- "shut it down Atlanta"? Shut what down.. the city? the legal system? civility? common sense? Looks to me that the :it" this group is shutting down is its "brain:.

I tell you what.. if a woman is qualified to be Secretary of Defense, so be it, but.. don't try to tell us Hillary is. Ask Ambassador Chris Stevens..

Having to 'splain' Cuzzin Jimmy Carter for the last 40+ years are do has been taxing . Recently, I discovered another Cuzzin I don't have to 'splain.. just found out General George S. Patton is also kinfolk.

Hey.. let's not let the riots and lootings (did Ferguson win the NBA Championships?) make us forget that over 30,000 Lois Lerner e-mails have been recovered!

L-E "headlie": "MICHAEL BROWN SHOOTING * Local group speaks about fight for justice" -- This is what's holding back racial progress in Columbus and this country.. Justice was served.. but the black leadership does not accept the rulings in the justice system when it's not what the black leadership wants. Justice cannot be served by appeasing personal convenience.

Jonathan Gruber Stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " If only 28% of registered voters elected Josh McKoon to state Senate, do the remaining 72% still have a voice?" -- Hmm.. all it took was 28% of the voters to easily re-elect Josh McKoon.. the rest felt good enough that the dependable voters were enough to overcome any Democrat opponent, so why embarrass the loser any more than necessary.

---

Jonathan Gruber "even more" Stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " It seems to me that the president has not usurped congressional powers. Congress, by its own inability to pass any meaningful legislation, has ceded that power to the president." -- Good grief.. it's bad enough when a voter isn't turned off by a president usurping unconstitutional powers, but it's depressing that the same LIV doesn't know that the same Constitution also limits the roles Congress and the Judicial System have as well.

---

Stupider still Jonathan Gruber LIV's L-E "soundoff": " When my grandson goes to high school football games I used to worry about the thugs. Now I worry about the cops." -- You know..this should give you a good idea why so many teens are street thugs.. it's being passed down as a character trait.

---

Just when you though we'd hit bottom on Jonathan Gruber Stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff"s. this is also offered: "Thanksgiving is another day of gluttony for the rich and middle-class, and the poor and the hungry and the homeless continue to be uncared for. I hope the Christians remember that." -- What a pity party.. I hope this guy will take in the food kitchens around Columbus any day, but tomorrow particularly, to see who are manning the serving lines..it's not the atheists.

From an opinion column in the L-E: "cannabis oil, a derivative of marijuana that is illegal in Georgia." --

I remember when laertrile, derived from the pits of apricots and peaches, was hailed as the cure-all of cancer, but wasn't legally available in the US so people flocked to Mexico to get.. Guess what.. it was a scam. Unleashing a harmful element that hasn't had a long enough history of long term results is not the answer. Be thankful that someone can go elsewhere and get this treatment, but since that solution is available, let's not rush into bringing it home until the long term results show it's worthwhile.

Regardless of outcomes this weekend.. the SEC will have 12 of its 14 teams "bowl eligible".

On a personal note.. when booking hotels online, stay away from anything offered through www.booking.com. We were going to go to Savannah last Friday to follow our child's football team engaged in a playoff game, and on last Wednesday decided to make a weekend of it so our daughter could enjoy seeing Savannah. We had stayed at the Marriott Riverfront on other occasions so we went to travago.com and sought out accommodations there. The only "booking" opportunity was through www.bookings.com . It's rates for the Marriott were considerably higher than other areas hotels, but bit the bullet and booked anyway. We got there on Friday and checked in.. the 2-bed room we booked wasn't there, but the effervescent clerk quickly upgraded us to a "Jr Suite" with a sofa bed. Went upstairs, and while a nice room, the sofa bed was not very comfortable, so I went back online to check out current state of rooms available at www.booking.com. I was shocked to see the 2-bed room I wanted was still available.. but.. at less than half of what I was charged 2 days earlier. Called www.booking.com and asked representative Carmen about this as the website "guarantees the lowest available rates". She looked it up and apologized but said she was not authorized to make such a large adjustment, and would talk with her supervisor. Here it is, 5 days later, and no word from www.booking.com. I've sent two follow up e-mails, but have gotten no response. I want y'all to know about www.booking.com not being a good site to use.
