Online headline: "Bill Clinton fires back at media over email scandal * In an interview with CNN, the former U.S. president said the controversy is merely 'catnip' that the Republican party is tossing to distract voters. " -- "catnip" that the Republican party is tossing"? Good grief.. the WHITE HOUSE has tossed the latest out it had been basically "sitting on",  waiting for the right time.. there's no love lost between the Obamageddons and the Clintons.. and don't forget, it wasn't Republicans that first brought up the Willie Horton "furlough rapist/killer" that brought down DuKakis in the 1988 election.. No, the "Willie Horton " issue was first brought up by Al Gore during the Democratic Party primary race.

Online story: ABC News apologized for promoting as an exclusive a videotape of O.J. Simpson that NBC had aired 15 years ago. * * In a statement issued Friday, ABC said it had the wrong impression that video footage from a 1990s civil suit deposition given by Simpson had not aired before at length. But NBC's "Dateline" had broadcast video from the deposition in 1999." -- Hmmm ... maybe ABC thought that since Brian Williams worked on "Dateline" then, no one would believe NBC'c complaint...

Online headlinee: "Michelle Obama unveils campaign focusing on girls' education" -- good grief.. after 6 years of pushing undesired school  lunch programs, and separate vacation, she finally sees education as "an issue" to be concerned about..and then discriminates against boys?

---
Online headline/story: "China vow billions of development dollars, debt forgiveness * Beijing will forgive debts due this year in an effort to help the world's poorest nations, as world leaders begin to seek the trillions of dollars needed to help achieve sweeping new development goals.* Xi said China will commit an initial $2 billion to establish an assistance fund to meet the post-2015 goals in areas such as education, health care and economic development. He said China would seek to increase the fund to $12 billion by 2030." -- $12 Billion.. when Trillions are needed? Like pissing into the ocean.. Of course, Xi will probably toss uncollectable US Treasury Bonds Obamageddon has sent them so the US will have to come up with the cash to honor them.

Online headline: "Castro slams US trade embargo during UN speech" -- Good grief.. just how bad a negotiator is Kerry? Iran yelled "Death to America" during its negotiations with him, and still got a deal even Trump couldn't have made.

---
Online headline/story: "Pope Francis, in New York, Lived Like a Diplomat * the pope bunked  into an 11,000 square foot townhouse built by a former NYC mayor, a Tammany Democrat name Hugh J. Grant who hired an architectural firm that had worked on St Patrick's Cathedral whch included Tiffany Studio decorations. " -- Pope/Poop Pat does it again...Hmmm sorta like being at home behind the walls of Vatican City. Wonder howmant Syrian refugees he let spend the night with him there?

---
Online headline: "The Latest: Zuckerberg pledges internet in refugee camps" -- Good grief.. liberals even want to supply communications so that jihadists can stay in touch with ISIS and al Qaida while traveling...

---
You know, we could reduce a lot of poverty in America by paying for tickets for everyone not working to other countries and call them refugees who fear their lives on the streets of our major cities.

Spent Friday night in Atlanta on a Hotwire.com Buckhead special..$130.00 for a nice room at the Grand Hyatt. Sounds like a deal...but by the time $40.00 in state, city, visiting taxes, and $34.00 for overnight parking we were up to week day rates. Maybe next time I'll call direct so I can negotiate that $47.00 buffet breakfast for two and save money.

---
You know.. why is it that cities think taxing visitors exorbitant hotel/motel taxes will be an attractive way for visitors to remember their trip? I can remember thing $40 for a good hotel room was outrageous.. hell, I can remember when hospital rooms weren't even close to $40.00 a night, and now that is what it takes to pay "vacation" taxes in an $130.00 Atlanta room.

Good grief.. Fox interviewed the "former Spokesman for Speaker Boehner" yesterday.. it was bad enough that Boehner sent out damage control people, but why does "the Speaker" have a "Speaker"?

---
Thank heaven for ESPN's "Game Day".. I was totally " Poped" out on the Poop Pat coverage.

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " So the department heads’ political vendetta is now costing taxpayers millions of dollars in attorney fees? I hope the voters show these buffoons the door on Election Day." -- I'm believing Jonathan Gruber has been hired by the Mayor... There would have been no lawsuits filed had Mayor TomLYINGson  followed the law.
 
---
Jonathan Gruber triple-double extra stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Saying we should increase penalties for gun-related crimes instead of making it harder for criminals to obtain guns is like saying we should legalize drunk driving and instead increase penalties for drunk-driving crashes."-- Huh? THis person must design math questions for the Common Crap curriculum.. just pray he/she is not assigned to teach Sex Ed.
 
---
L-E story: "Iran on Saturday vowed to take international legal action against Saudi Arabia’s rulers over the crush of Muslim pilgrims at this year’s hajj, which killed at least 769 people, including 136 Iranians, and has led to an escalation of tensions between the regional archrivals." -- Good grief.. Jews and Christians are routinely  executed by Iranians and threatened with purges, but Iran threatens court action against another Muslim country? How about a jihadist vs jihadist chain link match off.. ISIS vs al Qaida...
 
---
L-E commentary piece: "Wouldn’t it be grand if Pope Francis could be a recurring visitor to the U.S. Congress, a sort of spiritual superintendent who occasionally drops in to chide, cajole and mostly just remind our legislators when their actions don’t promote the common good? What kind of country would we become?" -- "what kind of country would we become?"  Hmmm.. how about "Democrat Party free.....
 
---
L-E guest Commentary: Jonathan Bernstein * Boehner’s success" -- Good grief.. liberals are out the minute they can find an opportunity to chastise Epublican initiative.. Now Boehner will "feel" he was effective because now a liberal will sympathize woth him... how John McCain-ish.
 
---
L-E guest commentary: "Some political slurs no longer even ‘coded’ * Leonard Pitts" -- THis is exactly Leaonard "the Pitts" problem,,, and why the L-E prints his drivel.. Pitts is so concerned about discerning "code" that he cannot listen to what is being said.. much less what is meant.

What is this idolization of the Pope? Long before there was a Pope.. Catholic Church for that matter, there is Jesus who told us to go straight to the Father in Heaven with our troubles, needs and praises.
