From the "Biased...what me biased? department - Online story: "When it comes to climate science, two of the three Democratic presidential candidates are 'A' students, while most of the Republican contenders are flunking, according to a panel of scientists who reviewed candidates' comments *  At the request of The Associated Press, eight climate and biological scientists graded for scientific accuracy what a dozen top candidates said in debates, interviews and tweets, using a 0 to 100 scale. * To try to eliminate possible bias, the candidates' comments were stripped of names and given randomly generated numbers, so the professors would not know who made each statement they were grading. Also, the scientists who did the grading were chosen by professional scientific societies." -- "To try to eliminate possible bias"?  Good grief.. the fact that the AP commissioned the "survey" and the "climate and biological scientists" were "professors" guaranteed the results that AP wanted.

--
Note: "Bias is as bias does"... "Stupid is as stupid does"... Even Forrest Gump has climate change scientists figured out... even if  Climate Change was undeniable, then the Democrats are still wrong.. it is not more of a danger than ISIS.

Online "headlie": 'Obama grants reprieve to turkeys" -- What a twisted message.. Obamageddon unleashed 6,000 convicts, and invited in 100,000 Syrian refugees.. and dumped them into the turkeys who voted for him.

---
Online headline: "White House on lockdown after man draped in American Flag jumped the fence" --  Oooops, my bad.. though another name was released, rumor has it that it was  Hollande trying to see Obamageddon.

---
Online headline: "New videos raise fresh questions in Chicago police shooting of black teen *  The powerful Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is supporting a Black Friday march along Michigan Avenue, an upscale shopping street, organized by civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson." -- "the powerful CTU is supporting a Black Friday March...organized by Jesse Jackson"? Why would the CTU be marching? Think about it.. the teen was of student age... maybe the CTU wants to divert any finger pointing at being involved with the failure of the school system in teaching the young man about Real Life 101.

---
I will not be a part of "Black Friday".. All those companies that j=have been blasting out "Black Friday" ads will not see me.. I will be shopping at stores that advertised their "After Thanksgiving Sale"

---
You know.. photo-ops of the annual "White House Turkey Pardon" when Obamageddon has been in office have been awkward.. the photographer always looks confused about which turkey is being pardoned.

---
From the "could be simply be" department - Random Thought: Have you ever thought about the liberals claims  about the US having more prisoners than any other country?  What they don't say is that in other countries, the recidivism rate is so much lower as none of their prisoners wanting to return, and the word on the street is that "you do not want to be in our country's jail?

---
You know.. in order to be considered an American made vehicle, cars must have 75% of their parts "domestically sourced" here. Toyota has the top two cars "made in America".. Sorta makes you wonder why American manufacturers have sought out foreign countries to make their parts..Hmmm... in 2 words.. Unions and Taxes.

Ironic? In a 1992 Matlock episode, Jay Cutler was the mob boss in Los Angeles... now Jay Cutler s "boss" of "da Mob" in Chicago.

Watched some of the parade yesterday..quickly switched from NBC to CBS, simply because (_*_)l Roker was on NBC, and didn't want to be called as a witness in any lawsuit filed by or against *l Roker.

Media wonks are in unison that Trump's popularity is that he's tapped into people's emotions. Yeah..the emotion of "honesty"... and it's about TIME! Hope it will rub off on mainscream media..

L-E headline/story: "Aaron Cohn Middle School team wins PAGE Academic Bowl *  On Nov. 19, 12 middle schools from the Muscogee County School District met at Shaw High to compete in the annual PAGE (Professional Association of Georgia Educators) Academic Bowl. Aaron Cohn Middle School made the record of being the undeafeated (sic) team (7-0)." -- Good grief.. Certainly, the  Aaron Cohn Middle School Team is to be congratulated on winning this competition, but is it really a celebration of success in the MCSD? Think about it,, 9 of our 12 Middle Schools failed the recently released GA Milestone Tests, so why were they involved in an academic challenge?  Now, if you read the article , who was the runner up? Certainly 2nd Place recognition would boost the students' self-esteem...

Columbus L-E "Guest" Commentary: "Donald Trump and shameless lies that divide  - Kansas City Star *  All politicians keep fact-checkers busy. They make promises that they can’t keep. They use cherry-picked data to make a case. They duck and dodge, sidestep and fudge.  *     Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton got tripped up more than once on claims about her private email server. Ben Carson, the strong-running GOP candidate, has been placed on the defensive by questions about the veracity of his biographical information. *  But rarely, if ever, has a high-profile candidate treated truth and accuracy as contemptuously as Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump." -- "rarely, if ever, has a high-profile candidate treated truth and accuracy as contemptuously as Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump."  Good GRIEF! The KC Editorial Board must have the attention span of a rock! Just one sentence prior to this it mentioned G.I. Jillary then forgot her before the period was in place.. And heaven knows the depth of dishonesty that Slick Willie is/was capable of...

Random thought: Why is black used to describe people who are brown? I've seen some very dark brown people , but I've never seen a "black" person....and why am I called "white".. even I look "tan" compared to white paper

Whoa! On Page C5 of the Columbus L-E is a "legal ad"pertaining to some property at 3737 Cusseta Rd..... it's for an "eminent domain" procedure for less than 2 acres (1.82) to construct a "Round-About" involving Ft Benning, Cusseta, and Brennan Rds. $191,700.00 is what is being "offered.. That address has a total of 17.63 acres assessed on the tax digest at a land value of $1,760,000.00.. 1.82 acres would be valued at $181,690.00.. Let's watch this.. the owners are being offered more than $10,000.00 higher than its worth but it will be contested and probably given a higher amount.. Let's also make the property owners' name public.. when it was vacant property, the 17.63 acres were valued at $531K in 2006, and $885K in 2007, and $930K in 2008 with some powerful people involved in the transactions leading up to building it out as "low-income housing) . It's known as Avalon Apartments
