Online story: "A 19-year-old suburban Denver woman who tried to go to Syria to help Islamic State militants was sentenced to four years in prison Friday, even as she tearfully told a judge that she never wanted to hurt anyone and has disavowed jihad." -- Hmmm... how about sending her to Syria, along a "wanted flyer" about her denial of jihadist commitment plastered on billboards.

Online headline/story: "A Scorsese Documentary on Bill Clinton Is Stalled * Mr. Scorsese’s partly finished documentary about Mr. Clinton — which once seemed likely to be released as Hillary Rodham Clinton was navigating a presidential run — has stalled over disagreements about control * Mr. Clinton insisted on more control over the interview questions and final version than Mr. Scorsese was willing to give," -- Good grief.. why should Clinton care about what questions he is asked.. he'll either lie or dodge them all together.

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Michael Bloomberg Reportedly Still Interested In Purchasing The New York Times" -- Hmmm.. Carlos Slim is the largest shareholder, and now Bloomberg wants the rest. What will the 99-percenters say when the upper 1% of the 1-percent is in control of the 99-percenters' "bible"?

Online headline: "YouTube star GloZell Green sat down for a chat with President Obama on Thursday, and she accidently called his wife something she is not." -- Ooops. my bad.. I figured she asked if she wore boxers or briefs...

Online story: "A Muslim woman filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing Dearborn Heights police of violating her constitutional rights by making her remove her Islamic headscarf after they arrested her for driving on a suspended license. * The lawsuit asks for Dearborn Heights to "modify its current policy" so that Muslim women can wear Islamic headscarves during booking procedures. * Kazan objected, saying her Islamic faith required her to cover her hair and neck in the presence of men who are not part of her immediate family, the lawsuit said" -- Good grief.. it's American police protocol to remove headcoverings/scarves to take mugshots, and any long clothing items that a prisoner could use to endanger themselves while in a cell. Sentence her to a one way ticket to Syria.

A friend of mine passed on the astute words of a friend of his concerning multi-tasking vs focus.. he said, "You can't chase two rabbits".. The Congressional Republicans should remember this.. for that matter, the MCSD Board should also..

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Muscogee County citizens might more readily go along with Myers and Thomas if they would just once give a reason or two why they are so adamant about having a top-to-bottom audit." -- Good grief.. hasn't this Jponathan Gruberesque commenter been reading about the $30,000,000.00 "accounting error" at St Francis?

---

L-E story: " Bowing to privacy concerns, the Obama administration reversed itself Friday, scaling back the release of consumers’ personal information from the government’s health insurance website to private companies with a commercial interest in the data." -- Good grief.. and we were concerned about leaks in the NSA while Obamageddon was actually selling the info he swore to keep private!

---

L-E headline: "Obama heading to India, hoping to improve ties" -- Oooops, my bad.. I thought Michelle apparently has bad taste in her daily TIE selection for Obamageddon..

---

Side note.. why would India believe anything Obamageddon says/suggests? Honesty is of importance in India.

Does anybody other than the staff at the Ledger-Enquirer read the retro "Doonesbury" strip on the editorial page.. I guess it's a liberal thing.. to retry the same garbage in hopes "the right person" will make it work. Hmmm, this is probably the foundation of the definition of "insanity" .. doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.

L-E story: " A loaded .45-caliber pistol was found near a fence at E.J. Knight Apartments on Thursday, Columbus police said.* A check of the weapon revealed that it wasn’t stolen. Police seized the gun and took it to the Public Safety Center." -- "wasn't stolen"? Maybe..more than likely, just hasn't been reported stolen... yet..
