No doubt about it..Heinz new Ketchup ad is the best one on TV, and gives the way-old Heinz "Anticipation" ad a run for its money as to the best all-time.

Online headline/story: "Atlanta audit points to city’s awarding of Hartsfield-Jackson contracts * Contracts for airfield repairs, general contractors and a closed circuit television system at the world’s busiest airport may have been incorrectly awarded, according to documents from a City of Atlanta audit. * For the three contracts, the companies’ bids or proposals appeared to be missing documents or information, which could have disqualified them from winning, according to the city auditor’s office. Combined, the contracts are worth more than $12.5 million. * The audit report said poor documentation and errors in contracting “raise red flags” that indicate an elevated risk of fraud. And it said spotty reviews by the procurement department “prevent reasonable assurance of a fair and transparent process.” -- Amazing... what an outside forensic audit can find..... and it's since we're in Columbus, GA and the Chamber just spent $97,000.00 (am I close Amy Bryan?) for the motto: "Columbus, GA - We do AMAZING", then a forensic audit is a natural!

From a Marietta (GA) Daily Journal online story: "Former House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams believes she can turn Georgia blue." -- Hmmm... don't know about "turning" GA blue, but GA would be blue if she becomes Governor...

On Monday, Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, had a news conference where he displayed over a "half-ton" of copies of original files and discs extracted from an Iran nuclear research facility. The originals, as Netanyahu proudly spoke, are in a safe place... now. Thanks a lot.....NOT!... Obama.

You know, I have one nagging concept that will follow me to my grave... that Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy...Johnson would never become president any other way.. I now have another such concept that joins the LBJ one.. that when Obama sent those BILLIONS of dollars in cash to Iran, that some,, probably a handsome amount, ended up in an account for Obama..

Online headline: "Tolerant San Francisco fed up with dirty, smelly streets" -- Hmmm so San Francisco is no longer tolerant of its dirty, smelly streets.... maybe someone should tell them that it's the tolerance of aberrant lifestyles, and illegal alien criminals that is causing the dirty, smelly streets it's becoming intolerant. Hmmm... looks like one solution will solve the problem.

From the "the truth will set you free... but only if you are actually looking for, and accept the truth" department - Online headline/story: "Sacramento coroner releases Stephon Clark autopsy, disputing he was shot mostly in back * Two Sacramento police officers shot Stephon Clark seven times, with three bullets hitting him in the back, while the angle of the wounds to the unarmed African American man suggests he was not struck primarily from behind, according to an autopsy conducted by the Sacramento County coroner’s office and released Tuesday. * Coroner Kimberly Gin told the Sacramento Police Department in a letter that the results contradict the “erroneous information that was released” after an independent autopsy by Dr. Bennet Omalu, who was hired by Clark’s family. Omalu reported Clark was hit eight times, including six times in the back." -- Now, what needs to be done is for the Doctor hired by Clark's family to be put under oath in a courtroom with a jury of forensic examiners to point out and support all the claims he made...you know.. all Stephon Clark had to do was obey the initial order by the police officers and he'd be alive and free today..

L-E story: "The Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners will play an opening two-game series in Tokyo on March 20 and 21, the fifth time Major League Baseball will start its season in Japan." -- Hmmm... once again, MLB throws doubt on Baseball being "America's Game".

Online headline: "A new Clinton wave is coming this spring" -- Yeah... a Tsunami of more BS...

Online "headLIE": "Tom Brady on kneeling during anthem: 'You have to have respect for everyone's opinions'" -- WRONG! You only have to respect others opinions if they are willing... and able... to support and discuss them with you in a civil manner.

Kanye West.. has emerged as a icon for controversy ... at a minimum.. one thing he recently said was, " “It’s like slavery, holocaust. Holocaust, Jews, Slavery is blacks. " -- You know, Slavery is not, nor has ever been "owned" by blacks.. The Jews were enslaved in Egypt, and "indentured servitude (contract slavery)" has been throughout history and hasn't been reserved to any one race .. or religion.. even in America, many white Irish, Welch, Scottish and Englanders came to America as "indentured servants"..

L-E headline/story: "COLUMBUS * Victim in fatal shooting had long criminal record * Boggans, 43, had a lengthy criminal past that included escaping two murder charges without a conviction and aggravated assault charges that dated back to his teenage years in 1993 and three different stints in Georgia prisons * He added that the victim of the city’s latest homicide was also wounded in the Easter morning nightclub shooting that claimed the life of Alec Spencer, 24. Spencer was shot at an after-hours club at 480 Andrews Road just before 4 a.m. * Night Life is an after-hours, unlicensed club on Andrews Road." -- A major unanswered question is how long had that "unlicensed club" bee operating and whether the CPD knew of it's existence before the fatal shooting..

L-E headline: "California, 17 other states sue Trump administration over car emissions rules" -- Good grief... those states aren't even suing over a law.. they are suing Trump for overriding and Obama policy order... that was way under-thought considering the vast emissions improvement the manufacturers are adding to attract more customers. But, I can see you can as well, which states are involved...California,Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Funny.. Pennsylvania is the only state (plus D.C.) that voted for Trump.. as Gomer might say... "surprise, surprise, surprise".... NOT!
