From the "not reporting the rest of the story until deeper into the report bias" department: HuffPOOPOO 'headlie": "Ferguson protests erupt in violence, man shot by police" -- Hmmm... and the rest of the story...A man who opened fire on officers in Ferguson is in 'critical, unstable' condition after being struck when the officers returned fire, police say..... In fact, the man first opened fire on an unmarked police van... ran.. was pursued, stopped and fired some more, and was hit when the officers returned fire.. mainscream media is pathetic.

From the "mainscream media bias just keeps on rolling" department - Online headline: "Message Michael Brown's father has for his son * Michael Brown Sr. led a march Sunday in Ferguson, which started at the site where his son was fatally shot by Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014." -- Good grief.. Brown was shot in an act of aggression in a police confrontation in which the officer was cleared.

---
Online headline: "Mysterious fungus killing snakes in at least 9 states" -- Ooops.. my bad.. thought maybe Legionnaires' Disease had mutated and was selecting only Democrat politicians.

----
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Questions abound in police shooting death of black Texas teen" -- Hmmm have you noticed that when a police officer is gunned down, HuffPOOPOO isn't as concerned about questions the dead police officer's family has...

---
Online headline: "Germanwings crash families prepare lawsuit in US" -- Let me get this straight.. a jet takes off from Spain on a flight to Germany; is intentionally crashed into the French Alps, and lawyers want to fiole a suit in America? This is a condemnation of OUR legal system that other countries' lawyers feel they can tie up our court system in hopes of bigger payouts...

---
Online headline: "Official weighs in on health risks of Colo. mine spill * An EPA official disclosed Sunday that the amount of heavy-metal laced wastewater that spilled is three times larger than the initial estimate" --
Hey.. this is a Hillewinsky moment.. just light up a reefer, and "what difference does it make"..

---
Online "headlie": "Pope recalls horror of atomic bombs 70 years ago" -- Good grief.. like I've said before.. POOP Francis,,, he was 9 years old and living in Argentina when the Atomic bombs were dropped on Japan.. he calls NOTHING!

---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Hillary Clinton Wants To Help Student Debtors By Taxing The Rich
Her plan calls for working college students to be able to pay tuition without loans." -- Good grief.. "wants to help student debtors"? What BS! Most students already have access to "help" by studying hard to get "scholarships" already funded by taxpayers and wealthy donors, and hard working parents. Hillewinsky is just playing the "entitlement card" to minds full of mush who can vote.

---
Online headline: "With Trump dominating news, fellow GOP candidates challenged to get out message, avoid political storm" -- Well.. this is as it should be.. with 17 candidates, this is the opportunity for one or more to demonstrate his/her natural leadership and problem solving skills.

---
Word came yesterday that Frank Gifford passed. I'm betting he got great satisfaction of seeing Snake Stabler for before him.

---
Instant replay from yesterday - L-E headline: "KINNETT STADIUM’S FIELD GETTING LONG-AWAITED UPGRADE * $675,000 for artificial turf from 2009 SPLOST": -- You know. I think I remember the figure of $500,000.00 mentioned for the synthetic surface of the Phenix City stadium..surely, ours shouldn't cost a third more than Phenix City's. Guess PC has more astute buyers, but what do you expect from the MCSD .. even 7 (including "Mr Action Buildings" himself) of the MCSB representatives feel a 2,400 Sq Ft metal building (material about the size of two double-wide trailers) on a concrete slab costs $750,000.00.

---
Keegan Bradley was sporting Air Jordan basketball shoes as he toured Firestone South in the 4th round of the Bridgestone tournament.. Guess we'll have to Google him later to see if he got mugged when he left the course.

---
You know...name me a business success that got that way by being politically correct making wishy-washy, blow-in-the-wind decisions. While it may get a politician elected, it doesn't help a business stay profitable.

---
Reports are that the Army is having a difficult time qualifying new recruits. Guess it's hard if recruits are afraid to go in if recruiters are armed, but then again, we have schools issuing retro diplomas to folks who didn't pass graduation tests, and now, they are eligible to apply for enlistment.

---
Can you believe some people in Texas are suing a BBQ restaurant owner for the smell his cooking Boston Butts causes? Good grief..just thinking about that sends me to heaven.
---
L-E headline: "Georgia tracking players’ on-field movement with GPS devices" -- Yeah.. that should be easy enough via ankle bracelets...
---
L-E story: " The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy asked state regulators Friday to trim back Georgia Power’s legally permitted profits on money shareholders invest in the project. Trimming those returns would punish the company for poor performance and reduce the overall costs for the company’s 2.4 million customers , SACE attorney Robert Baker said. * Georgia Power, a regulated monopoly, is allowed to make a nearly 11 percent profit on the money shareholders invest to build two more reactors at Plant Vogtle, near Augusta. " -- "allowed to make a nearly 11 percent profit"? Good grief.. "Big Oil" would love to make 11 percent profit.. "Big Oil" would love to make as much in profits as local-state-federal taxes cost motorists. How can a monopoly be given a profit margin that has basically no incentives to curb the expenses it racks up?
---
L-E story: " Muscogee County School District Superintendent David Lewis will recommend Victoria Thomas as the new director for Career, Technical & Agricultural Education at a work session tonight in the Muscogee County Public Education Center on Macon Road." -- Huh? According to her "Linked In" page, she's been doing this job for 4 years, 2 months already (CTAE Supervisor * Muscogee County School District *July 2011 – Present (4 years 2 months). What I want to know is how many acres is her farm?

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "So, Dr. Palmer … was the thrill of the kill worth it after all?" -- Hmmm.. does any one remember this lib being upset when James Earl Jones, playing King Jaffe Joffer of Zamunda, Africa, wore Cecil's cousin as a "wrap" in "Coming to America"?
