Online headline: "White House: Obama will not attend Justice Scalia's funeral" -- In two words, "No Class".

---
Online headline: "Obama to make historic trip to Cuba in coming weeks, official says" -- In two words, "No Class".

You know what's wrong with public education.....the concept has been corrupted. What started out as an opportunity for all children to get a quality "free education"  has become little more than an exercise in blanket distribution of "free" diplomas.

You know, I do not think Apple is standing up for our rights..if Apple has the ability to get into its product line's storage, it should share this with the government as a show of unity against terrorism. The "big brother" defense is awkward, at best, because if this is something Apple can do, then there's no protection for us that Apple, or a rogue Apple employee, or an outside hacker can and will do this at some time to any of us.

I didn't ride by there yesterday but this is truly on my mind: Whittlesey Road....what is going on? It's already a year behind schedule, and yet this past Tuesday, a day when the sun shown brightly, and the temperature was in the mid-60s, not one man or machine was on the job trying to finish this debacle of government efficiency. Why doesn't someone on our Council stand up and demand to know why this hasn't been finished?

---
Jeb Bush needs to pack it in.. he claims that no one can "insult" their way into the White House. We know he was making inferences towards Trump, but both Bernie and Hillary do nothing but insult working Americans by promising to make us pay for their campaign give-away promises.

---
I just listened to Bush waste an interview talking about why he doesn't feel Trump is qualified versus why he is better qualified to be president.

The Westminster "Best in Show" was on Fox and Friends.. Steve Doucy had the sound man play Hillary's barking like a dog clip. The Westminster "Best in Show" jumped up like he'd heard a "bitch in heat" calling..The dog's smart, too.

L-E headline: "POPE URGES LEADERS TO RETHINK IMMIGRATION" -- Hey, Poop Francis.. why don't you open the walled fortress of Vatican City and take them all in! Do something with the church's money other than buy silk slippers.

The other day, when some version of the crime rates in Columbus, GA were published, some thug justified the number of auto thefts by saying that it would be lower if people didn't leave their cars running with the doors unlocked. Excuse me, leaving your car running with the doors unlocked is not a crime.. getting into someone else's car that's running and stealing it is a crime. Control yourself!

Beyond incredibly stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " President Obama has the authority of selecting the next Supreme Court Justice, not Mitch McConnell. Appoint one who protects Americans’ rights, not corporations and Wall Street." -- Hmm like Sotomayor or Kagan? Good grief.. all the Republicans want is someone who protects the rights our founding fathers took the time to write out in our Constitution...
 
---
Ignorant LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Two generals. One commanded the Army of the Confederacy. One commanded the Union Army and went on to become president. Would you like to guess which one opposed slavery and which one actually owned slaves?" -- I guess this is a trick question.. Both Grant and Lee owned slaves. Now, what was the issue?
 
---
Stupid.. incredibly stupid, LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Thomas Jefferson said the downfall of our nation would be led by someone draped in the flag carrying the Constitution in one hand and Bible in the other. Wake up, conservative Republicans." -- If someone draped themselves in our flag and waved both the Constitution and the Bible and caused the downfall of this country.. it would be a Socialist Democrat.. open your eyes to Obama and Hillary or Bernie...  but would the writer please cite the Jefferson "quote"... this sounds more like a Biblical warning for false prophets...

There's a lot of conversation about the Flint, MI water pipes in the news, but we sure have a lot of water/sewer pipe issues going on in Columbus.. We were informed about the 11th Strret issue, but  there's huge activity near the intersection of 13th /Linwood/17th. I remember the CWW blackmailing us to the tune of $67+/- Million dollars in the mid-90's that was to fix "all the issues".

L-E headline: "Michael Brown’s family pushes for Missouri body camera bill" -- Yeah. right.. I wish more than tem that Officer Wilson had been equipped with a camera..we all saw the tape of Michael stealig cigars and pummeling the shop owner.

L-E editorial content: "The University System of Georgia Board of Regents had some very good news Tuesday for tens of thousands of Georgia college students and their families: For the first time in 14 years, tuition will not be increased at the state’s 29 public colleges and universities." -- Good news? Good grief.. Tuition has become a minor piece of the total costs of a freshman year away.. I use the "freshman year away " because out of town freshmen are required to stay in a campus owned/approved dorm. hose dorm rooms are usually about 300 sq ft and have two person living in them.. At my daughter's GA university, her dorm costs $2,900.00 per 4 months.. required food plans cost %1500-$1900 for 4 months, there's an additional "mandatory fee schedule" that ads another $1,000.00 foir the 4 months and then there's "books". If the GA Legislature wanted to hold down costs, freezing "tuition" is a minor part of it.. For the most part, the University System rapes parents more on the cost of educating their children by the "other costs". How about protecting us on those.

L-E headline: "CSU to offer dance minor starting in the fall" -- Hmmm... now that will be impressive on a McDonald's job application.... NOT!

L-E story: "Columbus Police said they found urine, feces, bugs and trash throughout the Eagles Trace apartment Crystal Grace Clark and Hakeem Ali Webster shared with their three children for about two years.
 * Clark, 26, pleaded not guilty today in Columbus Recorder's Court to three counts of cruelty to children related to the incident. Authorities are still searching for 28-year-old Webster, a 5-foot-7 tall black man who was issued arrest warrants for the same charges."-- Hey, "Black Lives Matter". put thos in your pipe and smoke it.. this is what.. and where... you should protesting!

L-E headline: "Carver football coach Reggie Barlow says he will accept Sidney Lanier job if offered" -- Coaching.. teaching.. is about commitment.. Hey, MCSD.. why wasn't he fired immediately upon notifying you!
