Online story: "PARIS (AP) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met top officials in France to express America's solidarity with the French people after last week's deadly terrorist attacks. * "I think you know that you have the full and heartfelt condolences of the American people and I know you know that we share the pain and the horror of everything that you went through," Kerry said as he greeted French President Francois Hollande" -- "you have the full and heartfelt condolences of the American people "? you know.. I think Hollande and the citizens knew that.. knew that American citizens were aghast of the event and full of support and compassion for the people of France. What the people of France and the rest of the non-Muslim world actually needed was to know Obamageddon was supporting them. Kerry did not say nor convey that.

Pope Francis' support for the Islamic retaliation on Charlie Hebdo have him sending out spinmeisters to defend his comments. Even Fox News had a collared emissary trying to do damage control. Maybe Pope Francis should just hire Jay Carney as his spokesperson.

---

Meanwhile, back at the White House, Obamageddon discussed terrorism with the British Prime Minister.. you know, the Prime Minister of the country that refers to the French people as "frogs".

Under threat of stupid lawsuit, the NCAA has "restored" the "vacated wins" to Joe Paterno.. Good grief.. who cares at this point..Paterno's legacy will always have Sandusky to explain.

Online headline: "Report: MLB to test 20-second pitch clock * MLB created a committee in September to help study the issue, as games took an average of more than three hours to complete last season, up from two hours and 46 minutes in 2003." -- Hmmm.... you know, if MLB really wanted to speed up games, then it could merely stop "TV Timeouts" and run fewer minutes of ads, and we know that's not happening.

You know, if umps put pitcher "on the clock", what will happen is more steals and balks will occur as runners figure out they can get a jump as soon as the clock is about to expire. Pitchers are required, as it is, to come to a complete "rest" on the pitcher's plate before delivering a pitch to the batter.

Online story: "Top Democrats are defending their appointment of a Muslim congressman to the House Intelligence Committee after protests erupted on social media, warning the move is dangerous.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi this week appointed Rep. Andre Carson of Indiana to the panel, which oversees the government's intelligence departments and activities. Much of the business that comes before the committee is classified." -- Good grief.. take a stand, Republicans, cast him off that committee! No radical Islamist or Democrat is going to vote for a Republican anyway, and even independent moderate voters of all other religions. even atheists, will appreciate knowing the Republicans are standing up for the safety of American citizens and our military!

So Carlos Slim is now the major shareholder of the NY Times. Hmmm, wonder if it will be called the Nueva York Tiempo, and have an English Edition. Hmmm, wonder if you you'll now have to punch "2" to get an English speaking service person?

---

Hmmm... one of the unexpected benefits of Carlos Slim buying the largest share of Nueva York Tiempo is that pet birds from Latin America will feel more at home with a cage liner with a Spanish atmosphere.

Online quote source: "“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” - Lyndon B. Johnson" -- Hmmm. well LBJ was right.. we lost his "War on Poverty". Now's a chance to make a comeback.

Oh.. Breakfast Club update... Two weeks ago, I reported to, and challenged Councilwoman Judy Thomas to follow through on making the 1st Floor of the Macon Road Government Service Center parking garage was for the public. She rose up before the last election and reversed the initial parking assignments .. BUT, as reported (with picture), 10 prime parking spots were reserved (by numbers rather than names so "we" don't know who is parking there) for Government Center personnel (wanna bet none of the hourly personnel have access to them?). Yesterday, I rode back by the Government Service Center, and the signs were still up and cars parked in several of them. Judy Thomas.. you are not keeping the words you campaigned on!

While there's no comparison to the bloody massacre at the headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, mainstream media has pretty much yawned at the assault on the Santa Barbara News-Press last week. I guess paint bombs and wall graffiti are "OK" to our mainstream media if it's in protest of something conservative. Wait a minute..wasn't that the same reasoning of the Islamic jihadists' attack on Charlie Hebdo?

It amazes me that the Columbus L-E treats the major hospital predicaments so nonchalantly.. The Amos Cancer Center was.. and still is. under scrutiny for fraudulent claims, and the magical disappearance of $30,000,000.00 from St Francis Hospital seems to have magically disappeared from L-E interest.

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV L-E "soundoff": " If there is now $35 million more in the pockets of Columbus citizens due to SPLOST ending, and we have about 195,000 citizens, then I should have $179.49 in my pocket. Have I been robbed?" -- Hmmm.. wanna bet this LIV would be screaming bloody murder if a street thug had taken $180.00 from his wallet and decided to spend it on things the street thug wanted. Wanna bet he/she would be making excuses to bill collectors why he didn't have $180.00 to pay his own bills with?

---

Another Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV L-E "soundoff": " Sen. Rand Paul faulted Obama for not attending the Paris unity march. I’m sure Sen. Paul would have attended, but his profile wasn’t high enough." -- Good grief.. if it was known that Kentucky Senator Rand's presence would have made France feel better, I'm sure Kentucky would have sent him there.. Paul was elected as Kentucky's voice in Congress, not to be the international voice of America.

This must be a liberal holiday at the L-E...Another Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV L-E "soundoff": "If you have to let “one or two” employees go because of the minimum wage increase, then you must be a mediocre owner/manager with a fragile enterprise." -- Good grief... if employers let go of minimum wage employees, it''s because the employees haven't shown worth and value of the opportunity they had been offered.

---

L-E headline: "U.S. Supreme Court will hear same-sex marriage cases" -- You know, we already know what 4 votes are going to be... the only question will be what the other 5 judges will decide after actually listening to,weighing, and discerning the facts.

---

L-E's "Online comment of the day": “I am truly saddened by this news. I personally hosted a meet and greet candidate party for Brian P. Roslund. Here are the facts that I know … Brian is a wonderful and endearing person whom I have had and still have alot of respect for. Brian had been accused of charges but has not been convicted of anything. …” — From “Jeremy Scott Hobbs” on the story about Roslund facing charges of theft and racketeering." -- Straight from a Democratic Party Donkey's mouth.. be sure an remember this association when Hobbs runs for Red's Council post in 2016.

There's an ad in the Columbus L-E advertising ingots of silver for $57.00 for a 1 Troy once bar... good luck with that.. the spot price of silver yesterday was under $18.00 per ounce.

L-E story: " Medicare’s top administrator unexpectedly resigned Friday, becoming the latest casualty in the turmoil over the president’s health care law * Marilyn Tavenner’s departure (Her chief of staff is also leaving) underscores the uncertainty overshadowing President Barack Obama’s health care law nearly five years after its party-line passage by a then-Democratic-led Congress." -- They can run.. but they cannot hide....
