From the "Dolly Parton's: "Here You Come Again" hit archives" department - HuffPOOPOO "headLIE": "Poll: Trump's approval rating plummets after Senate releases health care bill" -- Good grief.. there was a "poll" last week.. it was called the GA District 6 Runoff, and Trump beat back the entire Democratic Party and mainscream media effort to win one Congressional seat.

From the "the NYT could have printed some news, but didn't" department - Online headline: "The New York Times used a full page to print all of 'Trump's lies' since taking office" -- Of course, the NYT could have printed a whole Sunday edition of Hellary's lies and scandals.

It's funny.. Democrats are criticizing the Republican Healthcare reform bill, but they don't talk about them having the opportunity to install a good one when they could do so...

From the "if we can't explain/prove something, let's speculate and promote innuendo" department - Online headline/story: "Trump appears to admit Russia meddled in the US election in a tweet criticizing Obama *  President Donald Trump appeared to admit that Russia interfered in the 2016 US presidential election in a Friday night tweet in which he criticized Barack Obama for his handling of Russia's cybertattacks that were meant to swing the election away from Hillary Clinton. * "Just out: The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY," Trump asked." -- Good grief..mainscream media won't ask why Obama "knew" and didn't "do something" because mainscream media KNOWS the answer.. Obama KNEW Hellary was going to win, and Obama KNEW Russia couldn't actually change the results . Think about it,, what kind of influence could Russia have in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania? Those are the states that blue collar workers felt Hellary didn't care enough to address their needs, and Trump was there talking to them about what he would do for them..

From the "if we van't win with facts. let's explain my loss with dazzle and BS" department - Online "story": "Hillary Clinton isn't one to mince words and she recently ripped the GOP over their healthcare bill tweeting, "Forget death panels. If Republicans pass this bill, they're the death party." * She was retweeting a column written for the Center for American Progress, a liberal advocacy group and Harvard researchers that have claimed that anywhere from 18,000 to 28,000 people could very well die in 2026 if they were to lose their coverage due to the new healthcare policy." --  "18,000 to 28,000 people could very well die in 2026"?  Good grief.. in the first 6 months of 2017, over 500,000 fetuses have died of abortions alone.. cut backs to Planned Parenthood alone will save the lives of many millions by 2026.

Saw local radio celebrity Bear O'Brian Saturday night at the Denim & Diamonds Concert..... .he looks the same now as when I first met him 40 +/- years ago..haven't decided whether he still looks as young now, or whether he just looked OLD back then.

Meant to mention this last week when I first saw it, but after years of "repair", Cherokee Avenue by the Country Club is a 4-lane road again...was beginning to think that it would be a mayoral campaign issue NEXT year.

L-E headline: "COMMENTARY * Howard is best coach area has known * BY CHUCK WILLIAMS" --
Bobby Howard.. I call him a friend.. I call him a most successful coach, but I also remember Larry Oswalt in his short heyday.. Oswalt made the "benchwarmers" want to hustle in practice.. Oswalt made everyone want to be praised because it was hard earned and  gratifying.. neither Hyatt nor Williams knew the Oswalt his 60s players did. I'm saddened that Columbus won't get to watch Bobby Howard rack up his 1,000th  "W" next season.

I just read about a new local-area brand of water.. exceptionally "pure" water... being sold in cans.. excuse me, but why would I want to buy water sold in, I assume, aluminum cans?

L-E headline: "Depp apologizes for ‘assassin’ comments" -- That's not enough.. Depp needs to apologize for his Jack Sparrow role.. and .. ESPECIALLY..for his role as "Tonto".

L-E story: "When voters cast ballots for state representatives last fall, millions of Americans essentially had no choice: In 42 percent of all such elections, candidates faced no major party opponents." -- And too many of those had only RINOs running which basically means, only conservatives did not have a choice.
