From the "whoa... let's look at this again" department - Online story: "JACKSON, Miss. – U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran — the Mississippi Republican whose 2014 primary campaign drew national attention over an aspiring blogger's photos of his bedridden wife — has married his longtime aide, his office said Monday. * Webber has worked for Cochran since 1981, and both are 77, spokesman Chris Gallegos said. Webber makes $165,000 a year working for the senator." -- While I'm sure his new bride has been a fine worker, how does she make $165.000.00 while the Senator makes $174,000.00? Oh.. and why wasn't she "retired" at 65?

Online headline: "Chicago Bears drop McDonald after arrest in Calif. * The defensive end was arrested on assault charges Monday following a domestic violence arrest in Northern California that police say stemmed from an assault on a woman who was holding a baby, and was released by the NFL team hours later." -- Rumors have it that the Oakland Raiders and the Cleveland area Crips have already sent him a contract.

---

HuffPOOPOO headline: "Looming Supreme Court ruling may spark 'ugly' chaos * A Supreme Court ruling due soon could wipe out health insurance for millions of people covered by President Obama's health care law." -- Huh? I do believe its a case of the way Democrats wrote the law, but didn't read it before they passed it.. and not one Republican was involved.

Online story: "China said it had lodged a complaint with the United States over a U.S. spy plane that flew over parts of the disputed South China Sea in a diplomatic row that has fueled tension between the world's two largest economies." -- "fueled tension" between the world's "two largest economies"? Good grief... give me Khrushchev and his shoe banging on the rostrum at the UN instead of this politically correct nanny-nanny-poo-poo stuff!

---

Online headline: "Japan makes major move amid friction with China * Japan will join a U.S.-Australia military exercise involving more than 30,000 troops as tensions grow over China's actions in the South China Sea." -- Good grief.. Japan made the headlines while the US was an "also"

Online story: "K(_*_)nye West thinks that the U.S. is just too racist to live in anymore, and he’ll be darned if his daughter will encounter such negativity." -- Hmmm... maybe if he'd go, but leave his daughter here and racism would no longer be an issue in her futire....

---

Online story: "A decade ago, longtime friends and avid military supporters Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise hosted the National Memorial Day Concert for the first time. * And their 10th anniversary on the show Sunday night was just as special as the first." -- Any doubt as to why K(_*_)nye West wasn't invited?

Link to watch: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=29b_1431983712 -- Now we know why Bush 43 didn't know about Iraq WMDs no longer being there.. left over Clinton "spy info"..

You know...I think the Republican candidates have no clue to beating Hillewinsky. They are not going to sway any Democrats to vote for them by sounding like her. They need to focus on sounding like conservatives so non-liberals and independents will show up at the ballot box excited for a change.

Online headline: "Lesbian Rabbi Stands Up FOR Sharia Law" -- Good grief.. who'd want their male children circumcised by a lesbian to begin with.. but isn't a lesbian standing up for Sharia law a pretty much definitive Oxymoron? How's she going to prove her loyalty.. stone herself to death?

L-E headline/story: "UNITED WAY TO THE CHATTAHOOCHEE VALLEY * United Way selects 55 programs for funding * $5.1 million will be allocated through agencies * In February, United Way announced that it had surpassed its $7 million goal, setting a record for the most ever raised." -- $1.9 million raised bur not available for distribution puts the salaries and costs at 27%.... wonder if the campaign reveals it's based on a "3 for them , 1 for us" basis?

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Ireland is going to be the first country to legalize gay marriages. Thank you, good Catholics." -- Oooops.. a little too much misinfo being spread here.. Ireland voted to legalized civil ceremonies, but no church is required to have such services...Now, when an Islamist country even allows civil ceremonies.. that will be news..

---

L-E's "Thought for Today: “Courage is being scared to death — and saddling up anyway.” — John Wayne,
American actor (born this date in 1907, died 1979)." -- Hmmm.. sorta like the modern day Obamageddon version.. "drawing a line in the sand... and stepping up when someone even looks like they are going to cross it"...nah.. can't use that as an example...

---

L-E headline: "Biden reassures Iraq of U.S. support" -- Where'd Biden hear that from ... Obamageddon himself or Josh Earnest.. guess Biden didn't get the "JK" memo ... Anyway. I'm sure Iraq is just as reassured as if Obamageddon said the same thing..

L-E story on City budget discussions:

1 - " Huff proposed adding $45,000 to the clerk of municipal court’s budget, which is half the $90,000 increase requested. Huff proposed no corresponding cuts for that addition." -- Should Huff recuse himself dealing with family issues?

2 - " Councilor Mimi Wood-son added $225,000 for 28 lawnmowers for the parks and recreation department but offered no corresponding cuts on the delete side." -- Is $8.000.00+ each the best we can do for buying 28 mowers?

3 - "Thomas also proposed deleting the $45,000 subsidy for Uptown Columbus, $48,000 subsidy for the Department of Family and Children Services and the $145,000 subsidy for New Horizons." -- While I'm not truly against "studies" for .. why are we subsidizing "New Horizons" at all?

4 - Woodson also added about $95,000 for expenses expected to be incurred by the elections and registration office but no corresponding cuts." -- How about making the Democrats and Republicans paying for their primaries?

One other thing.. recently, Gov Deal was praising the April increases in tax revenues.. is Columbus simply missing out by the way Mayor TomLYINGson has dampened the economy in Columbus?

From the above story: "In the past, council has been able to vote to restore budget cuts or add capital requests from the city's reserves. In the fiscal 2012 budget, they used more than $13 million in reserves.* That dropped to about $7 million in fiscal 2013 and a little less in fiscal 2014 and down to just over $4 million in the current fiscal year. * But that has depleted the city's reserves to the point that it can't be responsibly tapped any further, city officials say." -- You know.. the purpose of a "rainy day" fund is to have it there when a 'rainy day" comes... spending it on whimsical Mayoral pet projects is not responsible.
