From the "well, happy new year" department - Online headline: "James Comey hopes for 'ethical leadership' in 2018" -- Good grief.. Comey could have GIVEN us "ethical leadership" but didn't when he had the chance.

Temps are heading down below freezing in Florida (it's 19 degrees here in Columbus, GA as I type).. Hey, Algore, how about a "flyover" in your jet.. maybe the exhaust will provide some "local warming".

Wow.. GA vs Bama next Monday night.. The rest of the country will see first hand that college football in other conference will have to step-up-their-game.. either that, or their states will have to legalize marijuana to absorb the reality... and the pain.

Matt and his wife Annette, through Orange Lakes Ltd, purchased a 16,000-acre cattle and sheep farm near Lake Wanaka on New Zealand's South Island earlier this year. But New Zealand’s Overseas Investment Office, which regulates foreign investment in New Zealand, stipulates foreigners who seek to purchase land in New Zealand must be "of good character." -- Hmm.. if I have to move my family, I want be looking for a "Safe Zone".. I'm heading for a "Liberal Free Zone", and New Zealand looks like a good fit!

Hmm.. so Bernie thinks all Vermont college students should get a free ride paid for by the citizens of Vermont.. Looks like Vermont is the number 2 state for its college grads that leave the state following their graduation.. 69.54% leave.. maybe Vermont citizens need to smarten up and get rid of Bernie..

CNN is surely not trying to be a role model... at least I hope not.. in the CNN New Year's Special, one "journalist" smoke marijuana "live", and another kissed his boyfriend "live". Surely the FCC has some regulations about what CNN employees can/can't do on air....

It's gonna be a long 7 years for Auburn fans...wins over GA and Bama wiped out the fans hopes Malzahn would be gone, but instead he'll be a very expensive "buy out" through the 2024 season, by finishing up with embarrassing losses in the SEC Championship and Peach Bowl, this will be what the Auburn fans remember.. not the wins over the two Championship game teams.. Bet a lot of Auburn fans with they had kept enough toilet paper to wipe themselves clean of the 2017-18 season.

Don't you know UCF will have something to say about not being ranked #1 at the end of the FBS playoff season? UCF is the last man standing with an undefeated season record, and it beat the team that beat both of the teams playing in the FBS Championship game..

According to City Manager, Isaiah Hugley, the new Spencer High School will be the "best in Georgia" (hmmm..strange that this confidence is not coming from the MCSD/MCSB), how about transferring all the CHS students there to have access to the high tech aspects...then transfer all the Spencer High students to CHS to take advantage of the already proven successful curriculum.

Yesterday was not a good day for "tigers".. Auburn, LSU, and Clemson were all declawed on National TV.

In retrospect.. the FBI has a long way to go to recover confidence in its commitment to make average American citizens respect the upper managements' decisions. The same folks that tried to protect Hellary from real crimes are trying to create crimes to charge Trump..in effect..at this time.. the FBI image is more blood splattered than Hellary's..

L-E story: "Obama shared an eclectic list of his favorite songs and books of 2017 Sunday on his Facebook page, including Jay-Z’s “Family Feud” and Styles’ “Sign of the Times.” The 22-song list also singled out Lamar’s “Humble,” U2’s “Ordinary Love (Extraordinary Mix)” and Stapleton’s “Millionaire." -- What an admission ... Obama extends his list of "favorites" from the past year..You know, he did this throughout his presidency.. just shows that he had too much time for taking care of his own wants to attend to the needs of the country.. I cannot name 22 songs/books released in 2017, much less narrow it down to my favorite 22.

I guess the L-E really loved the fact that UGA won the exciting Rose Bowl before it's "journalists" went off duty.. The L-E got a front page story that didn't harbor on the multiple shootings a deaths that happened on New Year's Day.

From the "how libs try to 'redistibute' the truth" department - Online headline: "Chicago homicides fall 16 percent in 2017" -- Of course the "rest of the story is" that Chicago street homicides dropped 16% from last year which went up 61% from the year before.. There's really not a "drop", it's just that there were less violent people on the streets this year killing other people.

Did you see Penn State's star running back Saquon Barkley making his first appearance on ESPN yesterday... there's nothing more futile than a football player trying to convince people of his humbleness by proclaiming it loudly.
