From the "you gotta be kidding...right?" department - HuffPOOPOO headline: "Sweden’s solidarity is needed on the UN Security Council" -- Sweden is a member of the UN Security Council?

---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Animals Have As Much Right To Live As Human Beings" -- Good grief.. human fetuses have no right to life, but libs rate animal life on an equal status with humans? Next we'll discover the Democrats are trying to register animals to vote.

---
Online headline: "Emails in Clinton probe dealt with planned drone strikes" -- Hmmm... so Hillary did know where Bill was during his "bimbo eruptions".

---
Good grief..Yale English major students want to control their own curriculum... can't you see it now... Texting101, Advanced Twitter, Finite Facebook, and doctorates in Marvel Comics.

---
Online story: "A federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled Thursday that people do not have a Second Amendment right to carry concealed weapons in public, in a sweeping decision likely to be challenged by gun-rights advocates." -- You know.. I think we should help Moonbeam Brown buils his wall around California.. but let's not wait until after November...we need to complete it BEFORE the elections.

From the "just thinking about it makes me shudder" department: Think about where we'd be if we'd had ZERO-bama rather than George Washington as our FIRST President and Hillary, rather than Ben Franklin as our first ambassador?

---
Good grief..ZERO-bama whole-heartedly endorsed Hillary for president...no surprise, here, as I'm sure he wants someone following him that will "blame Bush" rather than him for the next couple of terms.

From the "Somebody's been reading my blog and listening" department - ..Fox News' Fox & Friends mentioned yesterday that so far, Hillary has 1,500,000 fewer votes than she got.in 2008, and over 7,000,000 fewer Democrats went to the primaries to vote at all..not exactly a groundswell endorsement..what'll be interesting is to know how many fewer women & minorities didn't bother to vote.

L-E headline: "Family Day moves to Woodruff Park * A crowd of 6,000 is expected at the free event Dillingham Street will be closed from 2 to 8 p.m. for the festival No grills, coolers or alcohol allowed" -- "6,000"? Does anyone remember only "6,000" at Cooper Creek?

Contender for "Best L-E Soundoff" of all time: " Both atheists and religious people believe in a supreme being. Religious people look up to heaven; the atheist looks into the mirror."  -- Succinctly well said.

 L-E headline: "Cash flow no problem for St. Francis Hospital buyer *SEC filings show Tennessee firm had revenue of $6 billion in 2015 LifePoint CEO William Carpenter earned compensation package of $15.2 million last year" -- "compensation package of  $15.2 MILLION"?  Hmm.. or, in other words, he could donate his salary package for two years and the missing $30 MILLION at St Francis would be "found", and all could return to normal..

L-E healine/story: ":Councilor Judy Thomas makes things clear about fee increase * Councilor Judy Thomas makes things clear about fee increase * “If there is any issue that has been brought to my attention time and time and time again over this past year, it’s been over us changing the garbage pickup schedule and every time we increase the fee. I’m not proposing that we change the fee. I just want to make sure that everybody knows that this particular piece will increase the garbage from $15 to $17, and I don’t want anyone thinking that we’re trying to slide something through by not saying that out loud enough." -- Hmmm.. well, what "they" are "sliding through" is that this isn't a fee, but a non-deductible TAX! GA conditions of being a city require police. fire and garbage services to be covered by a taxing system.. not "fees".  Oh, just to be clear, dies Judy Thomas want to be clearer about her "sliding through" the non-name-designay=ted reserved parking spots in the Citizens' Service Center after she campaigned on having such designations removed prior to her last election?
