From the Archimedes.."eureka" department: I think I've figured out why HEBDObama can say "ISIL" but not "ISIS"....to him, it's the semantics of being a despot/tyrant... to him, "ISIS" looks like his "id"... "I's is", but the other is a way he can exISt without dealing with reality...."I's il".

Never has the word "leadership" been so "misnomered" than when used to describe HEBDObama, Jesse Jackson, Charlie Rangel, and Al Sharlatan, and Rahm Emauel..if they were really "leaders", when they spoke out to the citizens of Ferguson, and the families of the Jackie Robinson West Little League team, or illegal aliens, they should have pointed out that this is what happens when you break the rules, and defy authority...instead, they told them they were victims of being black/Latino in a white racist world. Shame on them!

Online headline: "More bad news for Brian Williams" -- Oooops, my bad... thought he got his job back.

Ah! Tis Presidents' Day....Remember when we got separate holidays for Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays? Remember when they combined the two so there wouldn't be two days of school missed? Now "they" close the schools on Friday & Monday so there's a long weekend for school employees.

Online news: "Government surveyors will announce on Monday that the official height of the Washington Monument on the capital's National Mall has been revised downward by nearly ten inches. * The new measurement puts the obelisk's height at 554 feet, 7 and 11/32 inches, as measured from the floor of the main entrance to the top. Since 1884, the official height has been recorded as 555 feet, 5 and 1/8 inches." --Good grief.. don't anyone tell the MCSD SPLOST committee.. it will add this as a "plastic soil" example of tearing it down and building a new Washington Monument... Of course, it maybe as simple as a Common Core math problem...

SNL...40th Anniversary Show last night.. It mostly rocked..a few misses..some great memories...and...this group, including yours truly...... we all look good compared to Chevy Chase.

Online story: "After former DNC Chair Howard Dean calls Scott Walker “unknowledgeable” and unqualified to be President of the United States for not having a college degree, the MSNBC panel reminds him of all the presidents who would have also been unqualified for office with those same standards. * Three stand out Presidents who never graduated college? George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Harry Truman." -- Hmmm wonder what Dean calls Bill Gates?

Online story: "strained relations between the White House and Silicon Valley were placed in sharp focus Friday after the chief executives of Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo declined White House invitations to attend the cyber security summit — and a private lunch with the president." -- Good grief.. Obamageddon should have just gone and played golf.. why didn't NSA know the "big boys" of cyber security weren't going to bother?

Online story: "Oxford University has informed its authors not to write about bacon" -- Hmmm wanna bet whether Oxford is more concerned about Shakespearian Support Groups of Muslim jihadists?

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Educational accounting is governed by 2 CFR Part 215 and 220 (formerly OMB Circulars A-21 and A-122). OMB Circular A-133 regulates the when, how, and what of annual audits. Accountability has always been there." -- Hmmm sorta as comforting as a farmer hearing a fox yell from inside the hen house... 'Everything's OK in here.. see you next year".

As Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet: ""The lady doth protest too much, methinks" -- Doesn't this seem appropriate for the number of "soundoff" submissions from people/person involved with the MCSD?

L-E story: "The Muscogee County School Board is scheduled to vote Monday night on the appointment of David S. Goldberg as interim chief operations and facilities officer. He would be replacing the retired Myles Caggins." -- Good grief.. hasn't the MCSD board learned anything from the fiasco at St Francis by bringing in someone without communities ties to have control of the checkbook answering to someone else brought into the community without local ties?
