Online headline/story: "Report: Republican governor being vetted for SCOTUS * One of the candidates the White House is considering as a nominee to replace Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court is the Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval. * "I don't pick the justices, but I know if he were picked, I would support the man," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said in a recent interview * Sandoval's position lines up with the Democrats on several key issues. He's worked to implement the Medicaid expansion in Nevada as part of the Affordable Care Act and supported immigration reform and renewable energy. Most notably, Sandoval is pro-choice." -- GAME ON!  Looks like NERO-bamageddon has thrown up the first balloon... but how "Republican" can a person be who is endorsed by Dingy Harry,, a lib by any other name is still a lib.

Online headline: "Self-Proclaimed Trump Supporters Wear KKK Robes at Nevada Caucus" -- Now we know what happened to late Sen. Robert Byrd's (D-WV) wardrobe went after his death...

---
Online headline: "Romney warns of 'bombshell' in 1 candidate's taxes * The 2012 GOP nominee called in to FOX News Wednesday night, demanding to see the tax filings for the top three Republican contenders." -- Good grief.. if Romney showed his teeth like this in 2008 or 2012, he'd have been elected..Now he's continuing to be the RNC lapdog.

---
This GITMO debacle of NERO-bamageddon..you know, in 2009-2010, NERO-bamageddon had super-majority Democrats in both houses of Congress...any plan he wanted could have been.passed...but...Democrats (pardon the pun) "trumped" him by passing a law prohibiting the expenditure of federal funds to move such prisoners into the USA. Let's not let him, any other Dems or mainscream media try to paint the Republicans as obstructionist. In fact.. let's let our Republican Reps KNOW we demand this.

Hillary says she's been in the public eye for 25 years and is use to attacks on her ... well, I guess she IS use the personal attacks since she has created them all.

---
Mayor TomLYINGson just fed our Council an overdose of Kool-AID. If her ballot initiative passes she has effectively repealed the Constitutional Amendment and replaced the "freeze" protection with a local ordinance that no longer protects us from a Council change of what has been security gur homeowners.

---
Other Republican candidates keep inferring that Trump can't win because 65% of the voters are choosing other candidates than him. Hmmm..with that logic, then a Republican who gets only 16% of the votes is badically opposed by 84% of the voters. Looks like Trump wins! Any comments, Marco?

---
Rubio just got endorsed by Alan Colmes on Fox...Colmes said Rubio could win with a coalition of other Republican candidates' supporters. Tough luck, Marco.

---
A fellow BCer made an astute observation...the Councilors who voted to put Mayor TomLYINGson's "thaw" initiative on the ballot should have to give up their personal freeze protection on their own homes if the ballot initiative passes in November. If the ones runing for re-election won't promse this, boot'em out in the local elections.

That Georgia Organics convention dinner at our Convention & Trade Center..the one being prepared by guest chefs (versus "Ovation")..I really want to see the "healthy" versions of the sauces the chefs make to win customer loyalty at their own restaurants.

---
Online headline/story: "Obama Picked Judge Says That Taxpayers MUST Pay For The Sex Change Of An Imprisoned Murderer  *  The Obama-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar ruled that denying a gender reassignment surgery to 51-year-old Michelle- Lael Norsworthy was a violation of her Constitutional rights." -- Good grief.. exactly what Amendment did our forefathers tuck that into? It's bad enough that NERO-bamageddon ignores the Constitution, but we cannot afford judges who do..

---
Latest e-mail from Hillary: "The differences between Senator Sanders and me" --  what... you thought she had an answer?

L-E story: "The Georgia Senate voted to approve a bill on Wednesday that would increase the minimum amount of money doled out to high school graduates through the state’s HOPE scholarship program. * State senators voted 51 to four on the bill, which would set the minimum amount at $2,000 per semester paid out to students through the program. The bill was sponsored by state Sen. Charlie Bethel, R -Dalton." -- Good grief.. all that's been done is insure higher costs for everyone! What needs to be passed is a law making colleges justify the costs per hour for classes.. that and a cap on what professor required books for classes  can be.. One of my daughter's books for this current semester has a "rental" fee of over $400.00 and it's a paper back book.. Surely a standard curriculum book could be the required reading..

L-E story: " Columbus Council debated, discussed and heard presentations concerning the Columbus Aquatic Center for two-and-a-half sometimes tense hours Tuesday night before determining they would need a special-called work session in March to discuss it further." -- Hey Mayor TomLYINGson... why don't you apply the same "logic" as she did about saving $500K by eliminating half the garbage pick ups.. .. by eliminating half the garbage being used to justify the Aquatic Center's existence.. Hey,, why not charge for parking ...and while you;re at it, figure up how much is need to be charged to actual users toi generate the needed break-even revenues... and charge that nmuch!

LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Sunny Shah defrauded IRS of $1.3 million, allowing him to make generous political campaign contributions to Congressman Bishop and wife, Sheriff Darr and Marshal Countryman. Shouldn’t these contributions be returned to the IRS?" --  "Shouldn’t these contributions be returned to the IRS"? Hell, no! IRS employees who processed these should be held responsible and accountable.. That was not their money.. it is OURS!
 
---
L-E "headLIE": "MAN CHARGED IN BURNING DEATH OF MISSISSIPPI WOMAN" -- Good grief.. That was no man.. he's worse than a rabid animal!

L-E story: "Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel’s conviction for a 1975 murder was the result of a myriad of poor decisions by his trial lawyer, who failed to tell jurors that his brother might have committed the killing, Skakel’s appellate attorney told the Connecticut Supreme Court on Wednesday. *  Skakel, 55, a nephew of Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, Ethel, had been sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. But a judge in 2013 ordered a new trial after finding that defense attorney Michael Sherman failed to adequately represent his client." -- Good grief.. how about a compromise.. let's retry Senator Ted Kennedy on the basis that the prosecution "failed to adequately represent his client"... the citizens of Massachusetts and the rest of the US. While we're at it, let's retry OJ on the same prosecutorial  inadequacy.

L-E editorial headline/content: "Council sends ‘freeze’ issue to state — again  * Columbus Council did not vote Tuesday night to phase out the Columbus Consolidated Government’s property tax assessment freeze. The city doesn’t have that authority. " -- Is the L-E perhaps waking up to Mayor TomLYINGson's chicanery?  Well, we can hope that's what this is.. either way, she's pretty much gotten what she wanted all along.. an opportunity to repeal the GA Constitutional Amendment that is the only protection homeowners have to contain a "tax & spend" Mayor.. Should the ballot initiative "pass", then  any court could order the dismantling of the "ongoing" existing freeze, as could Council.. with,  as Red McDaniel would be so apt to state..,  6 votes, Council can do about anything it pleases.

Hey, Mayor TomLYINGson.. if you need new garbage truck, then set aside that $500K you're saving from the "garbage budget" each year to buy more garbage trucks.. We are already being taxed as well as "fee'd" that much..

Recently, the L-E did an interview with our Civic Center Executive Director. There was one question the L-E did not ask that should have been... who did he give free tickets to the Elton John Concert?
