Two minutes into the Oscars, and I'm ready to change stations, but will watch a while longer with my bride ... It took one sentence before Doogie was full-fledged politically correct... not factually, but politically. I did notice one blatant fact that Doogie will not touch...there was enough bling present to fully fund Obamageddon's desires of redistribution and reparations.

---
On thing for sure.."Best Supporting Actress" winner Patricia Arquette's impassioned plea for equal pay/rights for women was shot down completely when Doogie walked out to the microphone wearing "tightie whities".

---
Before that, Patricia Arquette had already lost her case for equal pay/rights for women.. she accepted the Oscar for "Best Actress".. a category no men were eligible.. Ah, Hollywood.. thou gender bias betrays thou...

---

We definitely knew what the Best Picture was.. guess that's why Hollywood redistributed American Snipers Oscars to others ..

---
Some of those Oscar weiners..uhhh.. winners should have been welcomed on stage at the microphone with Bradley Cooper "painting" them with a laser pointer when they exceeded their speech time.

Online story: "FBI Director James Comey, the man charged with preventing terror attacks in America, was not invited to the Islamic love-fest although his Russian counterpart, Aleksandr Bortnikov, of the Russian Federal Security Service was. The White House explained that the reason behind the snub of Comey was due to a desire on their part avoid having the event being “too focused on law enforcement issues.” -- "too focused on law enforcement"? Well...HEBDObama does like to enforce only the laws he approves of... or makes up...

Online quote source: "“One measure of your success will be the degree to which you build up others who work with you. While building up others, you will build up yourself.” - James E. Casey, founder UPS" -- Hmmm.. another "truth" that doesn't grace the walls of the Oval Office...

---

Online story: "Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced Australia will strengthen immigration laws and crack down on groups that incite hatred under a raft of counterterrorism measures introduced Monday in a bid to combat the threat from home-grown terrorists." -- Hey, Boehner and McConnell.. see if Abbott will loan you some backbone...

---

Online story: "President Barack Obama is open to negotiating with Congress on his request for new authorization for military force against Islamic State militants, including his proposed three-year time limit on U.S. military action and the use of American troops, according to the White House." -- open to negotiating"? Sounds like Br'er Rabbit trying to get Br'er Boehner and Br'er McConnell to toss into dat der briarpatch...

L-E headline.story: "Anyone have info on mystery truck? * "There is a very nice black truck that has been parked just off the road (in what appears to be an old driveway) on Moon Road for three or four weeks," -- Hmmm..Has anyone checked with the MCSD? They can't keep up with where they've "parked" so many other tax dollars in town...

---

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " I never thought I’d say this about the president, but he might be doing right by waiting until the Middle Eastern countries form a coalition and ask for our help." -- Good grief... neither the Mid-East nor HEBDObama has asked Israel to be a member...

---

Jonathan Gruber extra-stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " I’m glad I don’t live in Myers’ or Thomas’ district. The constituents in my district want to improve the school district, not dismantle it." -- Never have seen where maintaining the "status quo" of a sinking ship has ever got the ship back home to safety..

---

Jonathan Gruber extra-stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Columbus’ greatest jewels — Trade Center, Olympic softball, RiverWalk, downtown revitalization, RiverCenter, whitewater, Benning, CSU, Aflac, TSYS, National Infantry Museum — resulted from people saying “Yes.” Not “No.” Let’s keep heading in that direction." -- Hmmm.. can you name me any of the local "movers and shakers" that have been publicly educated in the last 20 years of elected school board help?

L-E guest commentary: "In Georgia today, there is certainly enough representation (159 counties, as a start) but arguments are still about money, where it'll come from and how it'll be spent. * The immediate goal at the General Assembly is providing $1.1 million in funds for transportation without asking the people to pay for it, and the legislators have seldom been as creative in preparing its request as they have this year. * No one pretends to fully understand the proposal being studied by the legislature -- don't call it a tax increase, which is against Republicans' religion. The $1.1 billion will be collected through a shell game in which revenue is moved around to produce the desired result but no one can identify the exact hand in their pocket. * "We don't feel this is a tax increase," said State Sen. Jay Roberts of Ocilla, chair of the Transportation Committee." -- You know... being fiscally responsible with our money might help more than anything.. Our GA DOT is quite inflexible about how it does things. Remember the proposed widening of 13th Street years ago.. the one that would have raped the Lakebottom area? GA DOT wanted to ram a 5-lane monstrousity from Dixon Drive to the 13th Street Bridge when all that was needed was some minor widening of what was already an old-dimensioned 4 lane road. Thank God Council stood up for Columbus, and GA DOT "took it's ball and ran home". Now the GA DOT wants to spend $2.3 MILLION on the intersection of Double Churches Road and Veterans Parkway.. why.. because a logging truck tipped its load trying to make a t=right turn onto Double Churches where there is a sharply reverse banked section of road between Veterans Parkway and the railroad track.. GA DOT could simply erect a "No Right Turn for Semi's, Loggers, and Loaded Dump Trucks" sign for $100.00 or so and end the problem.

I have a question about the AP program in the MCSD... how come college level course are being taught yet the overall average of graduations and test results are so miserable? The MCSD cannot blame the SAT as being biased when the AP course are also set up by (and tested by) the SAT. You would think having what basically constitutes a "booster shot" would give the overall test scores a "pop".

Good grief.. the world Soccer/Futbal have scheduled the 2022 World Cup Games is Qatar... how welcome, how safe, will team from Judeo-Christian counties be?
