HuffPOOPOO "headlie"/story: "Crane accident leaves at least 10 injured in NYC * Mechanical equipment that was being hoisted atop a Manhattan office building fell thousands of feet, officials said Sunday. * A massive air-conditioning unit being lifted by a crane to the top of a Manhattan office building broke free Sunday, fell 28 stories and landed in the middle of Madison Avenue, injuring 10 people, officials said." -- Hmmm.. "fell thousands of feet:? Thousands indicate more than 1999 feet.. so each floor of the 28 would have to be nearly 72 foot high.

HuffPOOPOO story: "Two Canadian banks (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and TD Bank) tightly connected to promoting the controversial Keystone XL pipeline in the United States either fully or partially paid for eight speeches made by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the period not long before she announced her campaign for president. Those speeches put more than $1.6 million in the Democratic candidate's pocket. * Both banks have financial ties to TransCanada, the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline, and have advocated for a massive increase in pipeline capacity, including construction of Keystone. Further, Gordon Giffin, a CIBC board member and onetime U.S. ambassador to Canada, is a former lobbyist for TransCanada and was a contributions bundler for Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign." -- Hey.. this is progress.. In the past.. the HuffPOOPOO would be looking for a way tospin this in Hillewinsky's favor..

From the"just gotta mention this" department: "Box office: 'San Andreas' eyes seismic $48M debut; 'Aloha' bombing" -- While my bride and I will pass on "San Andreas" as we are not fans of such tragedies, it looks like America will reward it. On the other hand, my bride and I chose to not see Aloha because of Alec B(_*_)ldwin being in it, and America agrees..

Online headline/story: "Tyler Perry says he's 'not the person to ask about racism' in Hollywood * his career hurdles likewise have more to do with his unconventionality than his race. * "I've never had to go through things others have to get things done." -- Hmm.. could it be as simple as Tyler Perry's approach of selling his talents rather than seeking a guilt trip to get his foot in the door?

After Bush43's commencement speech at SMU where he complemented the honor grad, but gave hope to the "C" students by saying they too have a shot at being "president", and sine Obamageddon iswell into his second term.. don't you feel that he could humanize himself and offer "HOPE".. perhaps even "CHANGE" to minority students by voluntarily releasing his college records?

L-E story: "Vertical construction on the Walmart Supercenter off Victory Drive in south Columbus is about to get underway. * Chattanooga, Tenn.-based DBS Corp. has pulled two city building permits, valued at a combined $3.9 million, on the project that has an official address of 1544 Benning Drive. * Square footage for that piece of the development is 21,000 square feet and 4,616 square feet, which is the additional non-Walmart retail space and gas station that is planned for the property that once was home to Baker High School." -- Hmmm $3.9 Million for 25,616 square feet of space.. that's about $152.00 a square foot.. Maybe the MCSD should hire "DBS" to build the new wresting/weight room buildings.. $152.00 a square feet is less than HALF ($312.00 a sq ft) of what the MCSD/MCSB wants to spend on shell metal buildings....

Jonathan Gruber LIV's L-E "soundoff": "If someone bought the Bradley Theater on Broadway and played family movies it would be fantastic. Car-mike?" -- You know this is from a liberal.. it's a suggestion for how other people should spend their money on his/her idea.. Of course.. the liberal is further outed by the fact that he/she doesn't know that Carmike has bought the old Rialto Theater sorta next door, and is working on a plan.

Sorry Seth, Chelsea Clinton has written a book aimed at you and other Democrats at the reading level the Clintons feel fits in with what Common Core graduates can digest..

L-E story: " The $25 million project to build and shape the Chattahoochee River whitewater course in Columbus has earned its general contractor, Batson-Cook, multiple awards as the recreational attraction enters its third year of operation. * West Point, Ga.-based Batson-Cook Construction recently received the 2014 Associated General Contractors Build Georgia Award, also taking home first place in the “Best Sustainable Building Practices” division." -- "Best Sustainable Building Practices" award? Hmmmm.. does that mean that Batson-Cook paid for the repairs to the wave-maker? How about the $1.9 million in riverbank repairs following all the dam blasts and river rerouting? Just wondering....
