Online headline: "Sean Hannity fans call for Rachel Maddow boycott" -- What is this.. an out-of-sync April Fool's Day story? Surely this is a mainscream media "fake news" story, because I do not know of any Hannity fan who has or would watch Maddow... and like me, couldn't tell you for sure which network she's on, much less the time slot.

Online headline: "Democrats are pushing an unlikely source — Jerry Springer — to run for governor in Ohio" -- heh heh heh.. I guess this adage, with a bit of adjustment, fits well, "Any POT in a storm".  But you know, Springer would be an appropriate moderator for Ohio gubernatorial debates.. just think of the rating he'd get.. and the beratings the Republican candidate would get.

From the "Exodus 20:5 in the 21st Century" department - Online story: "Los Angeles police on Tuesday said they used spit collected from a sidewalk to tie a man to the sexual assault and murder of two women who vanished in 2011. * used a controversial DNA testing technique known as familial DNA testing to link the suspect, Geovanni Borjas, 32, to the murders of Michelle Lozano, 17, and Bree’Anna Guzman, 22,   * Familial DNA testing allowed investigators to compare forensic evidence from the victims to law enforcement databases to identify likely relatives of the person who may have committed the crime. The search resulted in a match to Borjas’ father, whose DNA was on file from a prior arrest, Beck said." -- Hmmm... No hock, Sherlock! ... Exodus 20:5 “You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me.”

Remember the item I posted yesterday about several properties being wrongfully carried as tax exempt or under assessed? Well,, I had to be at the Citizens Center, and ran into 2 different Coincilors who had just finished a "work session. and both were quick to let me know they had jumped on one of the items and the New York owner's property has been corrected already.. Seems that all the info has to be hand-inserted (and erroneously wasn't) currently but the new system will take care of that in the future. Of course, the new system will probably make getting mistakes taken care of an impossibility.. seems that we don't have anyone down there that knows how to correct computer mistakes.

From the "liberals have no clue" department - Online headline/story: "THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FOR GEORGIA GOVERNOR IS BEING FOUGHT OVER FREE COLLEGE * TWO GEORGIA DEMOCRATS are running for the party’s nomination to seek the governor’s mansion in 2018: House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams and a member of her caucus, House Democrat Stacey Evans" -- Seems the future of "HOPE/Zell Miller Scholarships" is the focus of the "free college" conflict.. One is for the current status, and the other wants to limit such to lower income families.. The rub is that there is no such thing as a "free college" program.. The GA Lottery makes it's revenue off the backs of lower income families, and harder working families pay for the welfare programs most lottery players are on since they spent their cash on lottery tickets rather than on food or saving for their children's college fund.

In mid-March, the L-E reported that more cars than in the whole year of 2016 had been in a crash so far in Columbus in 2017. Anybody know how many have been involved in crashes since then? I doubted the info then. but.. BUT with the influx of Atlanta lawyer ads since has made me reconsider...

Uber-LIV's L-E "soundoff": " For every person who thought it was OK for a politician to assault a reporter, you have sold your soul." -- Hmmm.. and how about defending oneself when a reporter grabs one's wrist to begin the process?

 

 

 

What is it with taxing authorities in Columbus.. neither the City nor the MCSD seem to feel having a sufficient "Fund Balance" nor a proper "Maintenance Budget" are  good business practices..

"What a difference a day makes"... is an oft heard adage in the past.. Now from the "what a difference a president with leadership skills makes" department - L-E headline: "Consumer spending, incomes grew solidly in April". --  yet not one mention.. nor any credit.. of Trump's invigoration!
