Online headline: "Mitt Romney reveals which 2016 candidate he's voting for" -- Excuse me.. but where does Romney live? He has a number of homes from California-to-Utah-to-New Hampshire-to-Massachusetts, but  where is he registered to vote? He demolished his small California home to build a new mansion on the same site (and even that is suspect as it appears he's got real estate agents trying to sell it). California's primary is in June, but will he be a resident?. Utah has it's caucus this Tues, and Massachusetts and New Hampshire have already had their primaries.. so it looks like Romney may not be able to vote at all.. much less for Cruz.

You know, if it came down to a choice of Hillary or Bernie and Kasich, the South might secede again.

Online headline: "Obama asks for advice prior to Cuba trip" -- Yeah... like ZERO-bamageddon would take/use it.

So much for Kasich thinking "Blue Lives Matter":... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF0_Qe4zNrE

Well, half of the first round  games played in the NCAA March Insaneness have been and 13 higher ranked teams were eliminated before the round of 32.  That means that the round of 32 has only 19 of the top 32 ranked/seeded teams. Las Vegas is happy, and most office pools are shot.

---
Online headline: "Obama: GOP will be punished for SCOTUS battle" -- Hmm.. versus all of America's furure being punished, even damaged, if the GOP approves one of ZERO-bamageddon's choices? I'm with the GOP on this one.

Who is Hollywood kidding...Batman vs Superman? No way Batman can fend off a Superman right punch!

ZERO-bamageddon has requested an additional $588.000.00 be added to the 2017 budget to take care of the added costs authorized by the Former Presidents Act.  He'll be going from President to "former President" in January. There was a graph of the current "former Presidents'" annual pensions/costs. You'd think there'd be some sort of consistenct.. or at least rhyme/reason in what the pensions for each are.. but there isn't..
Bush43 gets a pension of $214,000.00
Clinton gets a pension of $218,000.00
Bush41 gets a pension of $205,000.00
Carter gets a pension of $205,000.00

You know. I'd think all the former presidents would get the same.. or that the longest out of office would get a little more due to COLA increases, but why does Bill Clinton get more than the others?

L-E headline/story: "MUSCOGEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S RACE * Brown, Smith could be disqualified
Candidates miss deadline for state-mandated fingerprinting for background checks *  Decision to disqualify up to elections board If disqualified, Tompkins will be lone Democrat in primary *  Two of the three Democratic qualifiers for Muscogee County sheriff could be disqualified from the race after missing the state-mandated fingerprinting deadline for a background check. *  In 1980, Paul Grogan, a candidate for sheriff in Paulding County, was disqualified for missing the fingerprinting deadline and appealed the decision. The Paulding County Superior Court upheld the disqualification, and then the Georgia Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s decision" -- "could be disqualified"? Good grief.. there has been precedence for this upheld by the GA Supreme Court.. why is there any question?

The L-E is at a quandary about continuing/discontinuing it's "anonymous" Sound Off feature.. This may be the solution: Fire Dusty Nix as the "selector" and get someone who's somewhat less left leaning at the L-E to take over..Sorry.. don't know what I'm thinking.. there is no one at the L-E less left leaning. Stick the fork in it.

LIV's (Liberal Informed Voter) L-E "soundoff": "If Republican legislators believe guns in backpacks at college will increase safety for students, wouldn’t gun at the Capitol increase safety for legislators?" -- I guess this LIV feels Democrats are already safe in Washington... but let's make it more interesting.. eliminate armed guards for Congressperson in Washington, DC, and we'd see a lot better respect paid to the 2nd Amendment and the rights of law abiding Americans.

You know.. it's about time for businesses to take their security more serious.. I suggest making all entries two-staged.. a front door that enters into a foyer with a second door leading into the main space. Security cameras that spot anyone entering the first door wearing a mask or hoodie or even a billed hat covering the face, immediately notify the police, and lock both both doors. Just basic rules of etiquette demand gentlemen to remove their hats and such when inside.

There's a "food truck festival" planned in downtown Columbus today.. it'll cost "goers" $5.00 a head for anyone over 12 to go in and order food.. Hmmm.. guess I won't be going.. it's sort like being asked to "tip bi" before you get served your food..

Robert Steele, a member of Dallas' Super Bowl  XIII team, presented a commemorative 50th Anniversary Golden Football to Hardaway High School here in Columbus.. He was always a man and I remember him best as the shortstop on our St Paul UMC men's softball team. We had an unusual infield.. ot went 6' 3" at First base, 6' 4" at Second base, Robert at 6' 5" at Short, and yours truly at 6' 6" manning Third base. I remember one opponent seeing us for the first time remarking.. "are we playing softball or basketball?"
