Online headline: "Massive oil spill in Calif. stretches for four miles" -- Ooops, my bad.. Senator Feinstein may not have had a meltdown as was rumored.

---
Online headline: "Top Ten reasons Letterman is in a league of his own" -- Hmmm.. and the number one reason is: He's the only late night host who didn't make "the Majors".

---
Online headline: "Beau Biden hospitalized for unknown reason" -- You'd be sick, too, if the only family conversation involved your Dad outlining reasons he should be the next President.

Online headline: "Unions push for new policy after train crash * The group representing Amtrak's locomotive engineers urged the railroad to require a second crew member at the control of trains." -- Good grief.. all the union really cares about is creating another unneeded union job... As it stands, computers could run rail transport better than a speed demon with his hands on the throttle, but now the union wants to add a back-up speed demon in the cab. Sorta reminds me of how the union fought to keep coal shovelers on board after the engines were converted to diesel fuel.

HuffPOOPOO story: "Los Angeles on Tuesday became the biggest U.S. city to raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour. * Following a hot debate, the city council voted 14 to 1 to approve a plan to gradually increase the required wage to $15 an hour by July 2020. The current $9-an-hour minimum wage was already slated to increase to $10 in January. * The pay bump will affect about 567,000 workers in the city. * “This is a game changer,” Tsedeye Gebreselassie, a senior staff attorney at the wage advocacy group National Employment Law Project, " -- Good grief.. minimum wage would be a lot better off if Obamageddon never took office.. the National Debt has nearly doubled since he took office.. which basically means the take-home dollar of everybody's paycheck has been devalued by half.

Online headline: "Cuba-US relations take substantial step forward * An American official said Tuesday the Cuban government's latest move clears another obstacle in re-establishing diplomatic ties." -- Hmm no steps should be taken until extradition protocol has been established.. starting with cop-killer Assata Shakur.

There's a class room at St Elmo Elementary School that lost its AC unit in the middle of March..it's been two months and it is not fixed. The MCSD is not looking after our kids. How many amongst us would not get the A/C fixed within days at our homes? As it stands now, the MCSD says it cannot..maybe will not.. fix the unit until August. Whether any kids will be using this classroom during the summer, materials, equipment, electronics ( computers/smart boards etc) will be exposed to excessive, and damaging heat for the next 2.5 months. The issue is basically an inadequate maintenance department because the budget doesn't allow enough money to "fix things".

---
A simple solution to the above would be to eliminate the MCSD "police".. The MCSD has 182 people on its "Security" staff.. at $20K per that equates to a quick $3.2 MILLION. With schools already equipped with cameras and alarms.. let the Columbus Police Department handle security problems.. besides, the students are better served with REAL police officers.

---
You know, Superintendent Lewis admitted that there are 127 unused classrooms..that's enough for 4 -to- 6 schools. In other words, utilities such as heat and air conditioning are bring used in basically 4-6 schools..How much is that in wasted taxpayer funded utility bills. No wonder GA Power was do generous in donating to the SPLOST.. more new buildings to heat/cool create more empty old rooms.

---
Online headline: "House approves another temporary highway aid fix * Lawmakers passed a bill Tuesday allowing states to receive funding for two months as they grapple with U.S.'s infrastructure financing woes.
* Fund relies on unpopular tax" -- "relies on unpopular tax"? IMF.. your job, if you chose to accept it, is to find a "popular tax".

---
You know size can be deceiving.. take road maintenance workers in a state.. you would think the larger states would have more roads, thus the most workers.. you'd be wrong..Forget Alaska.. it has very few roads outside of cities (and only 100 workers), Texas.. former biggest, now out second largest state.. it has almost 5,200 road workers..California.. it has 5030.. on the other hand.. New York has 14, 280, Pennsylvania has 11,360, and Illinois has 6,290. Wanna bet on which states have the strongest union impact on road worker jobs?

---
Online headline: "Kim Jong Un's wrath falls on an unlikely target * North Korea's supreme leader became angry at a turtle farm after it failed to follow through on a special 'mission' for his party's anniversary." -- Hmmm.. guess that deflates another adage about perseverance.. Remember the moral of the tortoise & hare fable.. "slow and steady wins the race"? .. Well, not in North Korea.. now it's "slow and steady wins disgrace".

---
Online headline: "Bill could squash ex-presidents' expense accounts" -- Ooops, my bad.. I thought Congress was reigning in "Bill Clinton" because of his Foundation and Campaign travel.. seems there's an actual bill to cap all ex-presidents' travel funds..couldn't come a better time.. in less than two years, Michelle Obama will be in permanent vacation mode.

---
Online headline: "Sandra Fluke: ‘‘I’d rather be a captive Nigerian girl than touched by a Republican’’ -- Whatta megalomaniac I'm pretty sure no Republican.. and few Democrats, want to "touch" a woman who's got such a sex life that she says she needs government help to afford her birth control pills.

---
You know..if we're not going to support Iraq with troops, perhaps there a better way to solve things than us sending hi-tech equipment there that ends up in the hands of ISIS. What if we send Michelle Obama in to confiscate all the guns like she wants to do here, and leave them an ample supply of rocks and swords, and just go at it Biblical style.

A fellow BCer came up with a good response for John Darr to send to Glenn Davis...perhaps Glenn should run his Hilton Garden Inn 8:00-5:00 on weekdays, and close on the weekends, too.

Online headline: "'A Sad State of Affairs': Dem Rep Says Members of Congress Deserve a Raise" -- Hmm, Las Vegas wouldn't even put a line out on whether this was a Democrat or Republican...

From above story: "At a hearing regarding the 2016 Legislative Branch appropriations bill yesterday, Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) said that his salary of $174,000 a year simply isn't enough to live on in Washington, D.C" -- Fancy that.. then how about LIVING in your District, and renting when you go to the actual Congressional Sessions.

Now it's being revealed that Bill Clinton doubled his speaking fee costs in foreign countries while Hillewinsky was Secretary of State, and since she resigned, his fee has dropped back down. If that's not a clear indication of conflicts of personal interest, and ethics violations, what us? Hey, and we are not going to let Bill define "IS" again!

---

Now it's being revealed that Hillewinsky was using a second personal e-mail address when she was Secretary of State. You know.. she'd lie at confession if she was Catholic.

---

L-E headline: "MCSD academic chief to be Pacelli principal" -- Congratulations to Pacelli for catching Ronie, and congrats to Ronie for knowing when to escape. Too bad us taxpayers will suffer.. Lewis will hire two of his friends to replace her.

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "I’m a Republican, but I praise the White House’s decision to remove federal funding supplying military gear to local police departments. They’ve become too militarized." -- Good grief.. Democrats will lie about anything.. including saying they are Republicans if they feel it will make their lie look semi-credible...Militarizing our police has been Obamageddon's game plan to creating his own personal civilian army that could do battle with our military if he challenged the US Constitution's limit of two terms.

---

L-E's "Thought for Today": “If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.” — Moshe Dayan (1915-1981)." -- That would have been good advice for Obamageddon when he was ignoring the Republican's in Congress. Sad though, is that any president of the people makes enemies instead of believers of those who voted against him in the beginning..

---

L-E story: "A Tennessee man and his family used much of the $187 million it collected for cancer patients to buy themselves cars, gym memberships and take luxury cruise vacations, pay for college tuition and employ family members with six-figure salaries, federal officials alleged Tuesday in one of the largest charity fraud cases ever, involving all 50 states." -- Surely, this guy is either kin to the Clintons or a former architect of the Clinton Foundations.

---

Councilman Bruce Huff says he wants to find budget money to cut the Municpal Clerk's budget cuts in half.. He says he's going to look for and find the money.. that should be easy enough .. start with Mayor TomLYINGson's pet projects....

L-E headline: "Clinton urges State Department to speed release of emails" -- Yeah.. right.. how'd her planned April Fool's Day press release get so delayed?

---

You know.. libs and mainstream media are attempting to tie-in "defunding" (blame Bush) with the recent AMTRAK disasters.. The solution is to stop ALL federal subsidies so either AMTRAK will run efficiently and profitably or go away.

---

L-E story: "Thanks to a $24.5 million federal grant designed to better prepare children from low-income families for post secondary education, nearly 1,000 Phenix City rising seventh- and eighth-graders are among approximately 9,300 Alabama students who will receive full scholarships to any public community or technical college in the state when they complete the program and graduate from high school." -- Good grief.. doesn't the L-E "know" where federal grants come from? It comes from taxpayer pockets and contributes to the reason that poverty and lower income segments are growing.

Althea S. Booth, 95, just passed last week... it was just announced or I would have been there to pay tribute to her influence on mine, and thousands of others who learned to love math at Wynnton Elementary, Columbus High, and later at Richards Junior High.

Hillewinsky says she's got to raise $2.5 BILLION dollars for her presidential election. Hmmm, you'd think that as long as she's been considered as "the smartest woman" in the world by libs & mainstream media, and all the exposure through the media as First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State, that she should be able to win without spending another dime. Why is she projecting that she has to spend $2.5 BILLION to buy enough votes?

---

Don't you wonder if George Stomped-his-nose-in-his-own-poo donated to Obamageddon, and if he didn't, don't you know Obamageddon is wondering why?

Now it looks like the "trigger" to the Waco (or is that Wacko?) Biker bloodbath was a parking issue.. Some 100 weapons were recovered. Hmmm..200 bikers and only 100 weapons recovered..sounds like half the bikers didn't get "the memo".

Online story: "Girl Scouts is proud to be the premiere leadership organization for girls in the country. Placement of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority. That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe." -- "emotionally and physically safe"? What about the emotions and safety of REAL girls.. I think I may have bought my last box of Girl Scout cookies..seems GSA is getting it's own "cookies" elsewhere.
