Online headline: "Vile jokes from Al Franken's past surface amid claims" -- Good grief.. Franken was a joke before the claim surfaced..I remember commenting years ago that his value as a Saturday Night Live cast member was that when he was on, it h=gave the audience a chance to catch it's breath from laughing at the funny stuff.

My cat.. Sox.. is a true Southerner.. he likes grits and mashed potatoes... hold it now..I do have his best interests at heart, but at 16.. and taking 2 insulin shots daily, he deserves what ever he likes to eat.. Oh.. and he like "Goldfish" cheese snacks better than any of the commercial "treats" available.

Hmmm.. guess that means Columbus is with in 4... ooops.. instant update.. now we're down to 3 as of yesterday... of becoming tied with Oakland this year.. Hmm.. how does Mayor Tom-LYING-son and her Chamber of Commerce/CVB minions "spin this" to prospective businesses?

Online headline/story: "Baby boy is first marijuana overdose death, doctors claim * Drs. Thomas Nappe and Christopher Hoyte wrote in their study that the first person to die from a marijuana overdose was an 11-month-old boy. * A team of doctors, which included Hoyte and Nappe, examined the boy for medical conditions but found he was otherwise healthy, KUSA reports. * The child soon became unresponsive in the hospital and was given a breathing tube as his condition worsened. * The doctors said the boy's heart stopped and, despite efforts to resuscitate, the child died. * Following the death, doctors found the child's blood and urine contained tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, they wrote in the journal." -- Hmmm the first to die from marijuana overdose (interesting..so it can happen) was an 11 month old baby.. well, the parents should be the 2nd and 3rd.

When's it going to happen....when will mainscream media accuse President Trump of robbing the cradle..Melania is 47..some 24 years younger than her husband. That would mean Melania was but 16 when Trump was 40..

I like Neil Patrick Harris...I remember him as Doogie Houser... I also remember him when he "came out" loudly...I still liked him... but seeing him play a romantic heterosexual role is bit much for me.

What the hell.. Sen Menendez just thanked the jury ..all 12 of them, for not convicting him..What! No such thing happened..12 jurors didn't agree to convict him, but the 12 jurors definitely did not find him innocent of any of 18 corruption charges.

---
Justice...there was no justice dispensed when Senator Menendez's 18 charges of corruption could not get a single jury verdict, and the judge called a mistrial..No verdict, but Menendez is not innocent. A couple of weeks ago, I stated that police and DAs are not our crime problem.. activist judges and politically cherry-picked juries are.

The NFL's Robert Goodell is a piece of...shhh.. uh ..work. And he's certainly no Pete Rozelle. Never will be..either.

Yesterday, I tried to post my article on the lack of interest of buyers for the Martha's Vinyard estate used by the Obamas 7 different times before FB would allow. Between each attempt, I was able to post another item, but thwarted when trying the Martha's Vinyard piece until the7th time. Don't tell me FB is not censuring posts.

Democrat PACs are running an anti-tax cut ad about the National Debt being $20 TRILLION and suggesting a tax cut will add to it and that our grand babies are going to have to pay for it. Hmmm..of course, what they don't say is that the National Debt would be a National Surplus if Democrats hadn't spent $22 TRILLION on LBJ's and subsequent Democrats "War on Poverty".

---
Mainscream media pollsters are claiming 51% of Americans believe Trump will get a tax cut before they do.. I wonder if any of the pollsters mentioned that Trump is donating ALL of his salary as president to various charities.

For the first time in a while, I bought Mayo in a jar rather than a squeeze bottle.. Guess what, Mayo jars are now 30 ozs rather than a quart.

Minnesota's Slogan is "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Hmmm... Columbus's could be "City of 10,000 Potholes . Hey, Council, CofC, CVB, you can use that for free..and it'll probably be true 5 years from now if no one energetic runs for our next mayor

Online headline: "McDonald's reveals plans to sell only humanely raised and slaughtered chickens by 2024" -- Whatta dilemma.. I guess McDonald's will serve up inhumanely raised and slaughtered chickens until then.. I do have a question.. how do you humanely decapitate chickens?

Hellary is out on a liberal talk show tour trying to "debunk" all the Russian Uranium deal claims she brokered.. I caught a portion of one of the interviews, and all I heard was Hellary spreading "de-bull".

I have a hard time that soon-to-be-ex-District 133-Representative Pezold is backing someone else for GA Secretary of State other than Columbus' own Josh McKoon... then I realized he was backing a guy named "Buzz", and the association clicked.. "To Insanity and Beyond".

L-E headline/story: "ECONOMY * Georgia jobless rate slips lower in October * In fact, Georgia has added 87,800 jobs over the past year, amounting to a 2 percent growth rate. That’s better than the U.S. growth rate of 1.4 percent. " -- Hmmm.. you can just feel the Trump excitement in the economy!

I do declare.. unless the L-E is supplying me with a copy of it's paper with a page missing, today is the first time in well over a year that a "Together 2016/2017" ad (and L-E business tax deduction) has not run.
