Since I'm serving on jury duty this week..won't ..can't talk about cases,
but I can tell you about the 2:00 lunch break elevator ride Monday. The cab
stopped at the 6th Floor, and Mayor Tom-LYING-son squeezed in right in front of
me.. I smiled, she looked trapped. She quickly turned around facing the door,
asked over her shoulder if we were a jury..we murmured back yeah/yes. Then she
loudly added, "Thank you for your service". No body responded in kind. She
exited in haste and silence on the ground floor. Bet that was the longest 6
story ride she ever experienced..

While looking down from the 11th Floor of the Courthouse at the street below, I wondered to myself.. why hasn't Mayor Tom-LYING-son installed "roundabouts" at the intersections of 9th Street and 1st and 2nd Avenues.. she could even design them to handle the railroad tracks so traffic could keep moving even when the trains would be normally blocking all cars.

Online headline: "Brian Williams Claims Trump is Destroying the Public’s Faith in Media" -- Wit a minute! Williams... Brian Williams.. isn't this the former NBC anchor/reporter that was dumped from the NBC line-up and later situated at MSNBC where honesty matters even less than at NBC?

Now Manchester, England.. 22 dead at a concert, another 59 +/- wounded after another cowardly suicide bombing at the gathering of teens. children, and civilian families. We've got to find a more fitting name than ISIS for these Islamic POS's.. how about "RCS"? After all, they "ARE Chicken S***"

From the "bet the WaPo choked on its own regurgitation" department - Online story: "President Donald Trump's first budget proposal will include creating and funding a program that will give six weeks of paid time off for mothers and fathers following the birth or adoption of a child, the Washington Post reported. * This expands on the previous paid parental leave proposal that Trump touted during the presidential campaign in that fathers and adoptive parents are also included, not just biological mothers." -- Bet the WaPo editor sought a barf bag after approving this story for print..

From the "Fred Sanford, "It's the big one Elizabeth, I'm coming to see you" department -- HuffPOOPOO story: "Fareed Zakaria had a positive reaction to President Trump's recent speech on Islam, even comparing it to a caliber reminiscent of former President Obama's speeches. * The CNN host said about the speech on Monday, it "was very carefully done, it was nuanced. It was frankly the kind of speech President Obama could have given." -- "kind of speech President Obama COULD have given"? Good grief, the key word is "COULD". President Obama COULD have helped our nation... President Obama COULD have healed our nation.. but like Zakaria's comment says, Obama could, but WOULD not..
I've got to take a breath.. back to back non-negative stories by WaPo and CNN has me spinning

L-E headline/story: "Juvenile court judges seek raises * A rise in juvenile crime in Muscogee County, along with unfunded state mandates, has prompted local juvenile judges to request a pay increase. * The judge’s salaries are applied pro rata across six counties of the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit. With the pay increases, Muscogee County’s contribution would decrease by 44 cents, from 97,933.94 to $97,933.45.

-- Hmmm.. here we go again.. that ":new Math" from Common Crap Curriculum..
when I was in school 97,933.94 minus 97,933.45 was 49...not 44.

AMC has closed the deal on buying Carmike, and is offering a specialized
"kidspack" on Mon-Wed during the summer.. It includes a ticket, fruit pack, and
drink for $4.00..but only at Peachtree. The L-E story does not mention the
accompanying adult ticket prices, but if AMC really wants to make us
grandparents happy, it will reduce the cost of kids' tickets at the regular
movies. As it is. our "senior" tickets cost less than my 5 year-old
granddaughter's tickets (other than during the "matinee window")
