Online story:"Don’t expect to see Pope Francis proclaiming, “I am Charlie.” * Pope Francis said, "One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith," he said. "There is a limit. Every religion has its dignity ... in freedom of expression, there are limits." -- Where is this "pope" from? Yes, the teaching of no religion should demand.. expect.. personal revenge by its followers on people of other or no religion! It wasn't during the Inquisition, it was right during our pilgrim days, it wasn't right under Hitler,and it's not right in the 21st Century. The "pope" is wrong to excuse Islam terrorism on any basis.

On Obamageddon smoking more tobacco products in the White House... Oh.. and what's Hillewinsky's opinion of having Bill have Cuban cigars in the White House in 2017?

Radio Shack committed a very slow suicide back in the late 1980s-early 1990s. It could have owned the home computer market, but RS got greedy. With 7000 outlets already in existence, it took the stance of making its own brand of computers so proprietary and expensive that even previous customers sought other brands. Industry standard brands of software would not work on Tandy computers. RS offered crippled down versions at higher prices. Accessory items.. like better monitors from other outlets would not work on RS's Tandy brand because RS had proprietary graphics boards, The same for printers and hard drives. Many company brought RS down.. Megahaus.. by creating connectors that read RS's computer ports and allowed auxiliary hardware to work, and at lower prices. Then enter Dell, Compaq, Zeos, Gateway and a few others start up manufacturers that made straight, and IBM format compatible personal computers. People could buy the software of their choice. People could add the auxiliary items.. drives/monitors/printers.. of their choice.. independent repair specialists could work on any of them. Yes, greed put the first bullet in RS's foot, and its all caught up with RS...

HuffPOO headline: "Poll: New Yorkers Overwhelmingly Disapprove Of Cops Turning Backs On Bill de Blasio" BS! Who did the poll.. de Bl(_*_)io's chief-of-staff? I mentioned this last week, but the NYPD should seriously consider forwarding all inner city 911 calls directly to de Bl(_*_)io's office! Oh, and I'll bet not one wife or other family member of a NY police officer was contacted in this poll.

WTVM9 story: "President Barack Obama launched a fresh push Thursday to bring paid sick and family leave to working parents and other private-sector employees as the White House unveiled proposals that could benefit tens of millions of people. Most require action by the Republican-controlled Congress. * "Forty-three million Americans do not get paid sick leave," Obama said" -- Good grief.. only a socialist would entice his voter base with entitlements that their employers would have to provide that would eventually bring their businesses to its knees. You know.. government jobs have the become greedy with it's "paid sick leave.. Government does not produce a revenue product but spends tax money freely in patting itself on the back. I can see paid sick leave as a business option as a perk for keeping employees, but the governmenmt takes it too far... WAY TOO FAR! Government accumulates unused sick pay hours, and gives them back as rewards at a later date. I've heard of retirements of a couple of years before requirements have been earned by people taking unused sick pay.. In effect.. government is giving unauthorized raises/bonuses for average actions.. just coming to work gets an employee a bonus one day that small business owners can't even afford for themselves.

There oughta be a law against this..you know, there probably is, but we won't see Obamageddon or Holder upholding it.. In effect, the Mexican president is aiding and abetting the export of American money to bolster up Mexico's economy while straining the American economy.

Have a correction... well, actually more of a move to promote accuracy .. Yesterday, I reported that the 3 mils the City gives Columbus Regional to be $30 million.. that's off.. the total is closer to $13 Million the City pays ... BUT, and it's still $13,000,000.00 that is no longer needed to be spent this way.. Council needs to put a halt to this practice.. Some of it could be used to even help the employee med system that Mayor TomLYINGson dumped on them.

Calling Islam tolerant is akin to saying a Cuban election is fair when only one person can be voted for.

As one of them forced the couple to the floor, the other one headed for the cash register. *A customer, who was in the middle of his meal, then decided to take matters into his own hands. * The customer, also armed, held one of the would-be robbers at gunpoint until the police arrived. He fired at the other suspect as he fled, hitting the front windows of the store." -- Heh heh heh...guess the robbers forgot they were in Texas, where no retaurant can have a policy of "No Guns Allowed" and stay in business.

Glad he wasn't involved in St Francis Hospital.. no telling how much would be categorized as "an accounting error"....

You know, unless the judge deciding the outcome of the Bible and Nobel Peace Prize of Dr King sends the items to the Smithsonian, then the judge should give the items to the IRS and let them deliver them to the one the judge favors.

LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Some cities like St. Louis have a pet patrol for pets that are left outside in cold weather. They confiscate these animals and put them up for adoption." -- Hmmm... you know, Columbus has had this policy for years... it's called "the leash law".

It's being reported that George Soros, billionaire socialist, has sent $33,000,000,00 to organizations stirring the flames of racism in Ferguson, MO versus letting justice work its way forward.. The Republican Party should respond to how the Democratic Party got IRS to delay and deny 501 (c) 3 status to conservative groups by having IRS revoking the 501 (c) 3, 4, or 5 status from any group that accepts a donation from Soros. In fact, those organizations should be added to the "terrorist organization watch list" as proponents of anarchism.

L-E movie critique: " “Blackhat” is an unthrilling thriller about an imprisoned cyber-criminal (Chris Hemsworth) who is let out of jail in order to track down the mastermind behind a pair of computer attacks. * Seemingly shot on a shaky smartphone, director Michael Mann’s blurry, jerkily edited digital video is hard to read, especially during action sequences. Viola Davis as Hems-worth’s FBI handler is the absolute the best thing about “Blackhat.” -- The L-e and all other McClatchy newspapers who picked this up better lock its doors. Do they really think Viola Davis will be pleased to have her name proudly and publicly associated with this movie?
