Online headline: "Giant data hack may expose major national secrets" -- Oooops my bad.. thought the depth of Hillewinsky's personal server was involved.. you know, while Hillewinsky IS a "hack", I'm not so sure I'd consider her a "giant" one...

From the "look what I stumbled across" department -- In 1962, there were 2.8 uniformed military personnel.. by Johnson's last year the number escalated to 3.5 MILLION.. there were 2.2 MILLION when Nixon resigned, and 2.1 MILLION when Carter was ousted.. it was pretty much "static" during the Reagan/Bush41 years, but by the time Clinton left office just prior to 9-11-01, we had only 1.4 MILLION men and women in uniform... Bush43 regrouped and high tech weaponry flourished, and we here back to 1.6 MILLION highly trained soldiers...Obamageddon has brought the number back down to 1.5 MILLION while.. at the same time, has increased the National Debt by 80% (from $10 Trillion to $18 Trillion) in his 6 years.. That $8 TRILLIONn increase is NOT because of military expenses, no matter how many liars he sends out as messengers.

Online headline: "Social Security overpaid benefits by nearly $17 billion * A report Friday found the massive, ailing program made payments to people over the past decade who were dead, in prison or didn't qualify." -- Hey, Algore.. "lockbox" my ass! Social Security is not a Government funded program.. the revenues are taken from individuals, and matched by their employers. The only non-participants other than the contributors should be the small number of government employees needed to administer the funds and process the rightful distribution to the earners.

Online headline: "Colorado braces for another violent weather pounding * Severe storms have already created tornadoes, flattened homes, pounded Denver with hail and opened up a sink hole, but it's not over yet." -- Hmmm has anyone looked into the climate change caused by increase in marijuana smoke?

---
Online headline/story: "Plumber trying to pay for broken truck realizes he won lotto * If he hadn't been desperate to fix his truck, one Staten Island plumber might not have checked the lottery tickets he'd kept behind a pipe in his basement. One was weeks old –– and worth $136 million. * He split 70/30 with his son (total collected after taxes was $54 MILLION) * His ticket cost all of $2. A roughly 1.9 billion percent return on investment doesn't seem so bad." -- Good grief "mainscream media" is calling a lottery ticket an "investment".. and "1.9 BILLION percent ROI (on his $38 MILLION share)"? How does "mainscream media" figure a $19 Milliom-to-$1 ration is a 1.9 BILLION dollar return of "investment"? ...Common CRAP math?

---
Online headline: "Feds Unveil Technology to Create ‘World Without Drunk Driving’" -- Good grief.. technology that will drive up the cost of new cars, which can be circumvented by a drunks "child", or intervened with by the belch of a drunken passenger while the vehicle is running in high traffic on a busy highway doesn't sound much like a "cure" for drunk driving. Tougher sentencing.. including confiscation of vehicles will do more to stop drunk driving than legislating technology issues.

Online story: "According to the most recent income report from the United States Census Bureau, 48 million Americans still live below the poverty line. Some states now hope to help combat this problem by pushing to increase minimum wage, but even that change won't solve all the persisting problems. In order to see how poverty in America has changed over time, genealogy data site MooseRoots crunched the numbers to find the most impoverished counties from 1980 to 2010." -- "Some states now hope to help combat this problem by pushing to increase minimum wage, but even that change won't solve all the persisting problems"-- First, changing the minimum wage won't solve ANY of the problems, but how much money could have been saved from paying "MooseRoots" for data that could simply be collected by listing the polling precincts with the highest turnout percentage of Democrats voting?

---
Online story: "After more than five decades, Barbie can ditch her high heels in favor of flats.
In an attempt to modernize the 56-year-old doll, Mattel has redesigned Barbie to have flexible ankles so she can wear either her iconic heels or contemporary flats" -- Hmmm.. that probably can mean only one thing.. Mattel has signed a footwear deal with Nike..

---
Have you seen those Hillewinsky "Join the Official Campaign" ads on the Internet? I tried, but I cannot join without making a donation.. I even types in "0" in the "Other Amount" option, and was rejected.. Yes.. access to Hillewinsky must be BOUGHT!

Online story: "Admit it, we've all cheated on an exam or a quiz at least once in our lives. Maybe you wrote notes on your hand or "dropped your pencil" to catch a glimpse of your neighbors test. Most of us got away with it, but good luck if you're a student in China." -- "Admit it, we've ALL cheated on an exam or quiz at least once in our lives"? This just nails down the "mainscream media's" need to feel exonerated by diminishing moral values. Just substituting "most" for "all" would make this a reasonable assumption/claim, but that wouldn't eliminate the guilt cheaters feel.

---
Online headline: "THROWN OFF ROOFTOPS * ISIS executes gay men under guise of Sharia law" -- Hmmm.. about those communities in the US wanting Sharia Law... any Gay Pride Parades being canceled?

---
Online headline: "Fan hit by broken bat at Fenway Park has life-threatening injuries, police say" -- For the past 25 years, I have been commenting/campaigning that MLB has vacated its protected stance of "Not being responsible for objects thrown/batted into the stands". Until then wooden bats had to be a minimum of 1.25 inches at the smallest part. The introduction/use of metal and composite bats in amateur baseball made MLB to reduce the wood bat dimensions to accommodate the the high school/college kids who could not create the same bathead speed using the thicker handles. Yes, MLB has created an issue of negligence by allowing an unsafe tolerance of the strength of narrow handled wood bats, and negligence is not protected no matter what warnings are posted in the stadiums.

Online story: "Pat Sajak, long-time host of the beloved game show “Wheel of Fortune,” has gotten himself into some hot water yet again for a comment he made on his Twitter account about the state of American culture under President Barack Obama. * Sajak tweeted, "“As we lose our common culture, one odd side effect: it’s harder to find puzzles on Wheel that are fair to all,” Sajak tweeted out on June 1." -- Hmmm.. Sajak is right.. allowing.. no forcing all to accept other cultural pockets being able to segregate, maintain their own language/laws does diminish the American culture learning curve for legal and illegal aliens. thus making general questions about the majority of Americans seem "unfair" to minorities. On the other hand, as Sajak is being emasculated for speaking his mind, Obamageddon, this country's "biggest twit", can tweet that he thinks perversion is "courage"..

Online headline/story: "HARVARD, SYRACUSE RESEARCHERS CAUGHT LYING TO BOOST OBAMA CLIMATE RULES * E-mails obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency show that Harvard University, Syracuse University and two of their researchers appear to have falsely claimed a study supporting EPA’s upcoming global warming rules was conducted “independent(ly)” of the agency. * But a closer look at these claims of independence raises serious doubts * An online search of EPA’s web site revealed that Syracuse’s Driscoll has previously involved as a principal investigator in studies that received over $3.6 million in research grants from EPA. Co-author Dallas Burtraw, a researcher at the think tank Resources for the Future, had been involved in previous EPA grants totaling almost $2 million. Harvard co-author Jonathan I. Levy had been involved in over $9.5 million worth of grants. Co-author Joel Schwartz, also of Harvard, had been previously involved in over $31 million worth of grants from EPA." -- How can any survey/poll/study be independent when any entity, government or private, has funded the research? This is rather obvious as is the one on "high speed rail" feasibility Mayor TomLYINGson paid $350K for.. including $300K from interested-in-getting-such people and $50K of Columbus citizens tax dollars...

---
Separate but pertinent to the above story - Online headline: "EPA Chief: Just Trust Us On Climate Science" -- Did Gina McC(_*_)rthy go to the N(_*_)nct Pelosi "not reading before you vote" school? It's impossible to tyrust any Obamageddon administration spokesperson, but isn't asking directly for us to "TRUST ME" a liilte to blatant?

---
Online story: "On Thursday, Hillary Clinton waded into the populist fight against voter ID laws and other state moves to prevent the all-too-common voter fraud that has plagued elections for decades by calling for automatic voter registration at 18 years of age. She also called to give convicted criminals back their voting privileges." -- Good grief.. even the draft and food stamps require people to actually go to an office and produce info to a government official to register, and our founding fathers recognized that convicted felons are not going to support laws that protect law abiding citizens.

---
Online story: "Wednesday on the House floor, Rep. Luis GutiĆ©rrez (D-IL) criticized Texas for its conspiracy theories and then said God must understand Spanish because he named his son Jesus." -- Good grief.. God named His son Immanuel, which means, 'God with us.'" This does not mean, however, that the Messiah’s name would actually be Immanuel, and various languages have translated that into names its speakers could understand. Perhaps Gutierrez should actually read the Bible before commenting on it.

American Family Life Insurance CO (NOTE: this is NOT Aflac) is a running an ad about following dreams. One woman talks about not being alone SD she navigates the world solo in a boat. She mentions the support of various mentors and family being with her, but totally ignores mentioning the Lord being with her. Boycott American Family ( NOT Aflac) Life Insurance!

I am curious as to why the school systems of Phenix City or Columbus are partnering with Whitewater Rafting programs. Waterwater neither pay nor collects taxes nor fees that support the two school systems, and what fees it does pay to the local governments is far less than what we pay in taxes to other services in the B-City area. In fact.. since the use of Whitewater equipment intiates a "fee" instead of a "tax" even the school systems are not exempt from using tax generated revenues to pay such fees.

Jonathan Gruber triple-double extra stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " The fastest way to end the “open carry” law in Atlanta’s airport is for a group of culturally attired Middle Eastern Muslims to saunter about conspicuously carrying assault rifles … maybe waiting for relatives from Detroit." -- You know.. to define liberals as "stupid" somewhat redundant.. but we have to constantly search to define the depth of stupidity of liberals.. and this is close.. I hope.. First, "open carry" relates to handguns, and strict background checks to be licensed to do so, and as far as rifles go, I think American citizenship is required as any alien, not serving in our military, to buy/carry a rifle or other long guns. Aliens not serving in our military and carrying long guns.. hand guns for that matter, are considered spies or enemy troops.
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Republicans are auctioneers auctioning off middle-class America to the highest corporate bidder, talking fast with a lot of religion, race, abortion and gun jargon to bamboozle us as they sell the shirts off our backs." -- Good grief.. who would have thunk Hillewinsky is actually a Republican?
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” — Carl Jung (1875-1961)." -- Jung says we must shine the light of truth into the darkness.. Democrats try to blow out the candles.. Guess that means the Democrats feel their constituents are not human.....and deserve the existence Democrats provide.
---
From the L-E's "Today in history" feature: " In 1968, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy died at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, a day after he was shot by Sirhan Bishara Sirhan." -- Sirhan Bishara Sirhan? As my witness, for the past 47 years, I thought the assassin only had the redundant moniker of "Sirhan Sirhan"...
---
Also from the L-E's "Today in history" feature: "In 1978, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, a primary ballot initiative calling for major cuts in property taxes." -- Hmmm.. I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if the Governor filed an injunction to overturn the voters the very next day.
---
L-E commentary headline by Associate professor of political science at Lagrange College John A. Tures: "Our politicians’ chrononlogy impairment" -- You know..it's somewhat.. no downright blatant that Tures concentrates on Republicans.. Where was Tures' observations of inappropriate chronolgy when Obamagedden defended his Gitmo prisoner swap for Bergd(_*_)hl because even Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt swapped prisoners near the ends of the war in their terms in office. The truth is, George Washington was not the president when the Revolutionary War ended, Lincoln was killed days after the signing of the Civil War Peace Treaty, and Roosevelt died in office more than a year before the end of WWII. NONE of the 3 swapped end-of-war prisoners with any country!

L-E story: "District 8 representative Frank Myers has been calling for more public accountability and transparency since he joined the Muscogee County School Board five months ago. Friday, he made one proposal and one complaint to help reach those goals. * Myers released the text of his proposed revisions to the board’s policy regulating public participation at meetings. He expects his proposal to be on the agenda for Monday’s 5 p.m. work session. * “This proposal will ensure that every interested person will have an opportunity to fairly and fully exercise their Constitutional right to free speech by giving citizens a voice at the public meetings of the Muscogee County School Board," -- Excuse me, but why should a first time member have to inject respect for the publics' concerns? This should have always been the policy.. and should always be the policy.
---
Also from the above story: "Myers also emailed superintendent David Lewis a complaint regarding still not receiving promised detail about the administration’s proposed fiscal year 2016 budget. The board received a summary of the spending plan but not a line-item budget, which was requested by the board’s two other newly elected members: John Thomas of District 2 and Kia Chambers, the nine-member board’s lone county-wide representative. They received 200-plus pages of “raw input data” but not a line-item budget, Thomas said during Monday’s called meeting." -- "but not a line-item budget"? Well, what can we expect when the MCSB brings in an assistant/deputy Superintendent who's probably never made a finished budget.. This is no different from his SPLOST proposals of generalities rather than research information on project costs.

Have you noticed something.. seemingly, the L-E assigned all stories connected with the school system to be reported by Mark Price,, is that because the MCSD notifies the L-E when it want's a friendly reporter present?
