Karzai is snubbing Judas 00-Barnum by releasing about 65 "terrorist detainees", ones our soldiers captured and turned over to Afghanistan to try/incarcerate. You know, this is not unexpected.. Karzai doesn't care if the releasees kill our soldiers.. he is just looking out for himself for when the Taliban resumes power following 00-Barnum's scheduled pullout.
--
You know.. What Karzai has done is totally blamable on Judas 00-Barnum's schedule announcements to withdraw American soldier support. If 00-Barnum pledged to be there until the Taliban was eliminated or conceded, Karzai would still be in our corner.

Online story: "A fantasy game enthusiast was sentenced to life in prison without parole for beating a former Pensacola newspaper reporter to death with a hammer and burying his body in a concrete-covered pit in Georgia. * Prosecutors say W(_*_) C------ III was so desperate for money that he killed Sean Dugas in the fall of 2012 so he could steal his $100,000 collection of fantasy role-playing cards." -- Good grief! ..for a "$100,000 collection of fantasy role-playing cards"? Perhaps the fantasy was believing role playing card were worth $100K. Even sadder in this mix is that neither of theses people were teens....

Online story: "A federal judge ruled Virginia's ban on gay marriage unconstitutional late Thursday. * U.S. District Judge ARENDA L WRIGHT ALLEN wrote that the constitutional right to equality should apply to all, including same-sex couples seeking marriage licenses. * "Our Constitution declares that 'all men' are created equal. Surely this means all of us," -- You guessed it, she's a Judas 00-Barnum appointee. what you haven't guessed is neither Isakson nor Chambliss voted against her nomination. For that matter NO Republican voted against her.
---
Online headline: "NSA To Congress: Edward Snowden Copied Co-Worker's Password" -- Said co-worker has since "resigned" (with pension, I'm sure)... why wasn't said co-worker FIRED for breach of security reasons.

Auto Weak continues... GM is recalling 780,000 for bad ignition systems. Your favorite key ring can sabotage the ignition key contact. Wonder how much GM saved per unit buying the cheapest they could?

L-E headline: "President Obama visits California's drought region" -- Hmm guess he wanted to see what could have been helped had he not spent that money on his vacations.
---
Online headline: "US struggling at oval, focus on high-tech suits" -- Oooops, my bad... thought this was about Judas 00-Barnum's office staff and the lawsuit brought by Sen. Paul. (it was about the US Olympic skares and their hi tech spandex.
---
Online headline: "Why Gold Will Eventually Be Almost Worthless" -- Hmmm, because when you convert it to dollars, inflation will make you unable to pick up that much paper at one time?
---
Online quote: 2008 Candidate Judas 00-Barnum: "The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m president of the United States of America." -- Hmmm, Judas 00-Barnum went after Bush43 for raising the debt ceiling, and using executive orders... guess 00-Barnum is glad there's a another liberal voter born every minute who will forget which lies he has told which Democrat voter sect.
---
Oh...new jobless claims "unexpectedly high" this week. Hmmm, you don't suppose those losing their long term unemployment checks considered themselves "pink slipped" from a Judas 00-Barnum created shovel ready job, do you?
---
You know with the number of people able/willing to work shrinking, if the economy were just standing still, employers would be raising their salary structures to attract the better employees from those available. In other words, private enterprise would be raising the minimum wage without government prodding... IF business was good.
---
A fellow BCer passed on a great idea yesterday which could positively effect the Sheriff's department budget problems.. sign up ALL the prisoners to OObamaCRAP, and let all the med services deal with the federal government to get paid for services.

Online story: "The U.S. has swept the podium in men's slopestyle skiing." -- Who says being a skaterboy makes someone a slacker... well at least 3 aren't.

Where is the Sierra Club during the Winter Olympics? You'd think it would be rather upset at what the Extreme Sports categories do to marring the face of mountains..

So the DNC has revealed its strategy for November...hope for chaos during October within the Republican Party. Well, it does work when Republicans get engaged in stupid Republican...tricks. Count on women, racial, and illegal alien issues being the top mainstream media emphasis and Democrat PAC campaigns.

Guess things are back to normal.. the only "snow" we got this time from the MCSD was a 'snow job".
---
Online quote: "That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.” – President Obama at Monticello, February 10, 2014 - Hmmm, definitely spoken to a Kool-Aid sipping fundraiser group willing to believe him inspite of his lies. This maybe the only place you find this.. now if Bush43 had said this.. or Romney...
---
Online quote source: "“Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.” - John Madden" -- Hmmm, this must be why Judas 00-Barnum throws a football with the same swoosh he shoots a free-throw... he's never listened to John Madden.
---
L-E headline: "ARMY HALTS 3RD BRIGADE TRAINING IN CALIF. AFTER CUTS" -- Hmmm, now we have to figure out whether it was simply budget cuts Judas 00-Barnum made, or whether it was water cuts made by Moonbeam Brown...
---
L-E headline: "United Way sets record by raising over $7M" -- Hmmm... that's the pledges...now the big question is how much will actually be collected.. We always here the hype, but not always the facts.

L-E headline: "CSU WORKER CHARGED WITH IDENTITY THEFT * (_*_)ngela Secrest allegedly used student employee information to apply for credit cards" -- This would never have happened under Frank Brown's leadership.

What a sick ad being run by proponents of the movie, "August: Osage County" - "It's The Feel Good Movie of The Year Because It Makes Your family Look Great!" -- We saw it, and we already felt good about our families, but whatta waste of talent, of time, of opportunity and money... for consumers and actors alike.

Online story: "ABC News' Dan Harris revealed on Wednesday that he struggled with drug use for years." -- Hmmm, about 5 years, I'd say.. starting with discovering Judas 00-Barnum was a liar worse than Clinton.
---
Online story: "MSNBC host Krystal Ball had some surprising advice for Hillary Clinton on Tuesday: "Don't run, Hillary. Don't run." * Clinton, the "Cycle" host said, was "not the right person for this moment."
Ball went on:"Is someone who recently took $400,000 to give two speeches at Goldman Sachs the person we need to wrest control of the asylum back from the banking inmates? Someone who, at those paid speeches, reassured those masters of the universe in attendance that they were being unfairly persecuted?" -- Hmmmhow ironic.. a "Krystal Ball" has revealed the number one problem in liberalism... mainstream media can deal with/accept Hillary's lies, but not when she's telling the truth.
---
Online story: "President Barack Obama increased the minimum wage for a few hundred thousand federal contractors on Wednesday, then pressed the divided Congress to pass broader legislation that would apply to all workers. * "Raising the minimum wage is good for business, it's good for workers and it's good for the economy," Obama said." -- First, I wanna see the actual number of federal contractor employees working for minimum wages, but what has really happened is that now all union contracts swing into play because they are tied into the federal minimum wage level. Secondly, Judas 00-Barnum did not order this because it was " good for business, it's good for workers and it's good for the economy"... it's been good for distracting mainstream media on what's been bad for Judas 00-Barnum.
---
Online story: "Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was convicted Wednesday on charges that he accepted bribes, free trips and other gratuities from contractors in exchange for helping them secure millions of dollars in city work while he was in office, including right after Hurricane Katrina. * The federal jury found Nagin guilty of 20 of 21 counts against him." -- First, I'm really stunned at the results. Nagin must have really pissed off the DNC and it abandoned him, but as Yogi Berra said, "it ain't over until it's over". We still have to deal with the sentence some fed judge will dispense, and the appeal to the next level and so-on.
---
Online story: "Senate Democrats fell just one vote short of advancing a bill to restore long-term unemployment insurance last Thursday" -- Wait a minute... the Democrats have a majority in the Senate...

Online story: " A Cuban immigrant was executed by lethal injection on Wednesday for the 1995 kidnapping, rape and murder of a 9-year-old south Florida boy, a spokeswoman for the governor said. * The (_*_) kidnapped the boy at gunpoint as he got off a school bus in Redland, an agricultural area of south Miami-Dade County. * (_*_) took "the 9 year old boy to his trailer and raped him. When the boy tried to escape, Chavez shot him in the back, dismembered him and hid his body in plastic pots." -- OK you anti-death sentence wackos, especially you Governor Inslee of Washington,, defend this (_*_)!
---
Online story: "A federal judge in Kentucky on Wednesday struck down a portion of the state’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, ruling that Kentucky must recognize marriages that have been performed legally in other states." -- Here we go again.. some activist judge ignoring another Amendment to our Constitution.. the 10th Amendment which states that powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States or the people.

Latest from www.barackobama/organizingforaction.com: "LAST CALL: Your chance to meet President Obama" -- This almost made my heart flutter, but just another "oooops" moment... Judas 00-Barnum is not stepping down this week.

Online story: "This is one way to skew the Obamacare stats and turn the IRS into the Democrats’ personal political army in a stroke:
Consider what administration officials announcing the new exemption for medium-sized employers had to say about firms that might fire workers to get under the threshold and avoid hugely expensive new requirements of the law. Obama officials made clear in a press briefing that firms would not be allowed to lay off workers to get into the preferred class of those businesses with 50 to 99 employees. How will the feds know what employers were thinking when hiring and firing? Simple. Firms will be required to certify to the IRS – under penalty of perjury – that ObamaCare was not a motivating factor in their staffing decisions. To avoid ObamaCare costs you must swear that you are not trying to avoid ObamaCare costs. You can duck the law, but only if you promise not to say so. * Company officials will be trapped in a catch-22. They can lay off as many people as they want because of Obamacare. But because they’ll have to swear to the IRS that their decisions had nothing to do with Obamacare, they can’t speak publicly about what’s happening. What a great way to silence the people who are on the front lines of dealing with Obamacare’s horrific effects." -- Hmmm, and the real kicker is that when the IRS asks questions about your motives, you cannot "take the 5th" as you can in a court of law.

A story in the Columbus L-E concerning local political donations for local offices once again reveals a need for campaign finance reform. Incumbents raising funds during their terms of office for re-election is somewhat coercing, sorta like AC-DC blackmail. How about a simple donation reform that allows receiving/giving donations only in a period of the 12 months preceding the swearing in date of the office the candidate is running for election/re-election. When donations are given/received during the other months of an incumbent's term, who knows what promises, what conditions, what deals are tied to it. Also, what needs to be revealed are "donations" made from any candidates personal foundation that similar "donations" are made to organizations benefiting from the LOST Public Safety tax revenues earmarked for "Crime Prevention".

Low info voter's L-E "soundoff": "CNN’s poll says 63% of Dems vs 44% of Reps understand women’s issues. Gee, 107%? CNN is a child left behind. Besides everyone knows 78% of all statistics are made up on the spot." -- "78% of all statistics are made up on the spot".. yeah, including this one. First, a poll measuring percentages of Democrats and Republicans is not going to add up to 100%. The percentages concluded are how the certain party affiliates are opining about specific issues. Secondly, why would anyone believe a CNN poll on anything?
---
Poignant L-E "soundoff": "Since this is Black History Month, wouldn’t it be a good thing for the Ledger to do an article on the history of our first black president? I’m anxiously waiting." -- The "why" is easy... all the pertinent info is sealed from FIA.
---
L-E story: "On its 5 p.m. newscast Wednesday, WRBL interviewed Muscogee County Superintendent David Lewis, who told the media he consulted with meteorologists (yes, plural) before deciding late Tuesday night to cancel school. * The TV station said their meteorologists were never consulted, and quoted its own Bob Jeswald saying that the forecast actually didn't change during the evening. * WRBL said when confronted about the number of meteorologists consulted, Lewis revised his statement to say he only spoke with one meteorologist." -- Well, there goes another "hope" dashed.. the hope of getting an honest Superintendent of Schools.
---
After reading about the budget conflicts between Mayor Obamalinson and Sheriff Darr, perhaps it's time for the jail budget/budgeting be handled directly by Council. Not only would it free up the Sheriff from baby sitting duties, maybe the Council would read what the federal demands are on how prisoners must be handled medically.

Not a good week for the automobile industry... Toyota's future is being filleted on its flagship Prius models, and Corvette just had its history swallowed up.

Online story: "NBC News says veteran newsman Tom Brokaw has cancer. * The network says Brokaw was diagnosed in August with multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting blood cells in the bone marrow. Doctors are optimistic about his treatment." -- Multiple myeloma... I remember decades ago when myeloma was considered the worse of cancers... the most painful of cancer deaths. An assistant who worked for me at Kirven's died with myeloma. She fought pain bravely for many months before she was correctly diagnosed. Finding out nothing would stop the spread or the pain "broke" her. She died weeks later. Now, doctors can be optimistic. God is good, indeed.

Will the NFL have a "Magic Johnson" situation in the future following the announcement of the Missouri draft choice player? Remember the farcial defensive moves NBA players made when Johnson drove the lane after it was announced he was HIV positive? It was like Cecil B. DeMille was directing the sequel to the parting of the Red Sea. Johnson retired for the integrity of the game. We'll have to wait and see how the NFL handles it.

Light at the end of the tunnel? Researchers are now saying that the "flu" shot given to pregnant women will reduce the risks of a baby being born with autism, and the shot is safe at any stage of pregnancy. Pray this will pan out as true.

It's 37 degrees outside, and rainy. After the snow/ice storms of a couple of weeks ago, our local schools have shut down again even though the temperatures are not anywhere close to the past storm system. Things are back to normal... the sky is falling syndrome has returned.

Online story: "Gov. Jay Inslee, Democrat, said Tuesday he was suspending the use of the death penalty in Washington state" -- Hmm, well, we probably know what they were smoking in that smoke-filled back room.
---
Iran is attacking America by sea. Yep, Iran is sending two non-lethal, rust-bucket naval ships to US maritime borders to demonstrate "its international power/presence" to the home front.. Iran's move is but a reflection of the world's opinion of Judas 00-Barnum's lack of presence. Bet 00-Barnum 'double dog dares' them to cross that invisible line.

Online story: "Leave it to Democratic politicians to suggest that not only is the record number of people leaving the labor force not a bad thing, but that the continuing loss of jobs and reduction of hours because of their policies is “a great opportunity” to finally kick back and relax." -- Yesterday, I mentioned Congressional Democrat from Minnesota, Keth Ellison's "take" that families will have more time to cook meals at home. Today here's a quote from "Mrs. "Unemployment Checks are Stimulus" herself, Nancy Pelosi, who last week said, "What we see is that people are leaving their jobs because they are no longer job-locked. They are following their aspirations to be a writer; to be self-employed; to start a business. This is the entrepreneurial piece. So it’s not going to cost jobs. It’s going to shift how people make a living and reach their aspirations." If you didn't have a reason to wish California would drop off into the sea before now, just consider that Californians have sent her to Washington for 26 years so far. I think it's time that she be retired to actually live in California so Californians can learn to disgust her like the rest of the country.

How can Judas 00-Barnum play it both ways concerning inflation? He has his spinmeister minions out denying we have any inflation so the fed will keep interest rates low, but claims the minimum wage needs a 40% increase to keep up with inflation.
---
You know, how can Judas 00-Barnum proclaim OObamaCRAP is " the law of the land" passed by Congress, then personally alter it as suits his political whim of the moment?
---
The MCSD got "lucky" the last time they cried "snow", but today's school system closing is another in the usual pattern of overreacting to the Weather Channel's hype.

Today is Abraham Lincoln's birthday.. Guess the L-E and most mainstream media are leaving this tidbit out because liberals hate to celebrate Republican Honest Abe when they have to look at Judas 00-Barnum occupying that role today.
---
I'm not going to chastise the House Republicans for passing an increase in the debt ceiling. I'd rather the Republicans defend being budget busters at the November elections rather than being portrayed as obstructionists by the Democrats and mainstream media. Republicans need to win big in November in order to repair damages inflicted by the Democrats, and with majorities in both House & Senate, Republicans can still elect not to spend money that they have authorized as the cap.

Looks like the libs have decided to go after the 1st Amendment rather than the 2nd one because mainstream media buys ink, not ammo, by the barrel.
---
Judging how Secretary of State Kerry thinks and talks about Israel, we have another reason to be glad he wasn't elected president. I just wonder how the Jewish vote can still support the Democratic party with such fervor.

Online story: "Angling to avoid political peril, the Obama administration Monday granted employers another delay in a heavily criticized requirement that medium-to-larger firms cover their workers or face fines. * In one of several concessions in a complex Treasury Department regulation of more than 200 pages, the administration said companies with 50 to 99 employees will have an additional year to comply with the coverage requirement, until January 1, 2016." -- Judas 00-Barnum and his Circus Jackasses may not read the Constitution nor bills that they pass, but they are reading between the lines and the handwriting on the wall. Of course, true to form, what they are doing is not Constitutionally legal and the Supreme Court should step in and trump 00-Barnum.
---
Gen Petraeus says he thinks Hillary would be a "tremendous" president. Well, he said McCain was his man, too, and that Judas 00-Barnum was also good. Why was this man in charge of our military?

You know, mainstream media is more interested in the closing of two bridge traffic lanes between NY & NJ than it is/was in the deaths of 4 Americans at the Benghazi Embassy. Mainstream media should be embarrassed.

I don't know how the Arizona prosecutor can equate 30 years in prison for the Mexican illegal who killed one of our border guards with justice. Justice won't be served until the responsible DOJ agents/officials get arrested for "fast&furious".

The next time a liberal expresses his/her wish that he/she feels that Denmark is a country the US should be more like, remind them that zookeepers like kids to watch them kill, skin, and feed giraffes to the lions.

If you still need a good example to wave in liberals' faces about their dream countries, throw Norway's men's Curling team pants at them. Norway must be conservative cause those pants look like something only Republicans would wear to their Country Club golf courses.

A Democrat Congressman, Keith Ellison of Minn, defended OObamaCRAP from the report by the CBO that over 2 million jobs would be cut from full to part time by saying that Americans already work longer hours than any other industrialized country so this would be good. Hope Minnesotans do something 'good' for America... cut Ellison's hours completely.

Hmmmm..No wonder Judas 00-Barum doesn't want children reading the Bible in classrooms.. they would find this story about his life:

Proverbs 6:16-19
New International Version (NIV)
16 - There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes, (as shown with the Danish prime minister)
17 - a lying tongue,(where do I begin)
hands that shed innocent blood,(Benghazi)
18 - a heart that devises wicked schemes,(fast & furious)
feet that are quick to rush into evil, (Afghanistan)
19 - a false witness who pours out lies (Beer Summit)
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. (Israel))
---
You know.. if Judas 00-Barnum got down on his knees, came out and apologized for lying... could you really believe him?
---
Online headline: "Hollande and Obama make joint call for climate accord" -- Hmm, guess both are trying to explain the "hot flashes" their women have been experiencing.

I don't need to unravel scientists' claims that God didn't create our universe... I haven't seen or heard a scientist who can explain what their "big bang" theory came from, and haven't seen any examples of ape-to-man evolution roaming Earth today. I have seen God's work in action, though...

L-E headline/story: "Reese Road’s charter renewal questioned * (Cathy) Williams questioned the school’s progress on test scores, where the school has fallen short on some of the goals it set in the original charter five years ago. She also questioned the charter’s request to limit the enrollment to 450 students. It is around 600 now. * “What would we do if all of our elementary schools would want to have this same flexibility, to have a full-time art, music and PE teacher, have a school enrollment below the capacity of the building to cocoon their kids the way they want to have room to breathe and yet not achieve the goals they set five years prior?” Williams asked. “I’m struggling with this, and I love Reese Road.” * Williams also noted 37 percent of Reese Road’s faculty and staff disapproved of the charter renewal application." -- Wow... what this really does is question the leadership of the Board and qualifications of every teacher/administrator in the school system. If the administrative staff of a school given permission to run a program without the normal hindrances of school politics, and it cannot distinguish itself from other schools, we have a problem bigger than anything Houston dealt with concerning NASA.

Low info voter's L-E "soundoff": "In reference to a letter to the editor, fumbles are the result of not staying focused, but they’re also the result of the opposition trying to create fumbles." -- You know, when you are given or accept the ball, it's your job to keep it safe regardless of other people's intents.
---
L-E's "Thought for Today": “Respect for ourselves guides our morals; respect for others guides our manners.” — Laurence Sterne, Irish-born English author (1713-1768)." -- Hmmm, obviously another truism left out of the Democrat's political playbook.

Who'd guess Paul Olson would support Mayor Obamalinson, when there's really only one issue that counts, and that's c-r-i-m-e, and her record is criminal on its own.

Why do people hide their campaign for marijuana behind a "it's for the children" agenda? We all sympathize at the unusual medical situations of children, but to expose all children to the ills of a drug world just to tyry something to see if it might help/work is not a prudent solution to personal problems/needs. Take the child to a state that already allows dispensing cannabis, and if it makes a noticable difference, then consider moving there. I'm sure our community will help.

L-E headline: "SENATOR SEEKS RECORDS ON MILITARY SEX CRIMES" -- You know, I just wish she, every Senator for that matter, would just attend to the sex crimes of the Senate members.

L-E story about intra-canal hearing aid, Lyrica: " The hearing aids must be changed about every three months. They are sold by the hospital on a subscription basis with a user purchasing a year’s worth at a time. Wise could not give an exact price. “It depends on the insurance,” he said." -- "depends on the insurance"? Of all the problems in healthcare, this is one that should be eliminated... pricing services/devices depending on what the manufacturer/distributor can maximally get for them. No other industry does this, or, for that matter, could really get away with it. I had an experience with an adjustable "cast" several years ago when I broke my ulna. Using a traditional cast, my healing process would have required 4 of them at $120.00 a pop. I was fitted with a velcro strapped aluminum device instead. Being a self-pay patient, I actually got to see the bill... $460.00. I researched similar devices, and found the very best one had been developed as a tool for "curing" a golf swing flaw. It retailed for $49.95. I took this info to my physician who was dumfounded at the cost of the medical device he had been educated by the prosthesis provider which had an office in the medical facility. My doctor came with me as I confronted the in-house third party prosthesis "attendant/fitter". That man said he didn't know what the device cost either as he dispensed them and his company did the billing. He, too, was alarmed at what the billing cost was. Seems the billing department arm of his business was use to only billing to insurance companies, and billed them at the highest price that each insurance company would process. After a lot of hem-hawing, I got a 50% discount adjustment, and only paid $230.00 for the device I could have bought from a golf retailer for $49.95.
---
You know, with the high deductibles on OObamaCRAP insurance , I would have ended up paying the full price of that device (maybe even more), and had no recourse to challenge it.

There was a memory lane trip last week about the Beatles first show on The Ed Sullivan Show. I remember the report after the original viewing in 1964 that none of the audience actually heard them singing. Audience noise was too loud. Those of us who got only to watch on TV got to hear them sing.

Online story: "Michael Sam, a defensive end from Missouri and a projected mid-round NFL draft pick, announced Sunday he is openly gay." -- Hmmm, if he gets drafted, I guess his team will become the first to run the "no huddle defense".
---
We all have a special sympathy for children and families with unusual medical hardships, but is it worth legally introducing cannabis oil/marijuana into our state for the unknown benefit for one or a few? I don't think so. This is another one of those liberal "do it for the children" bills we know has "political payback" written all over it.

WRBL-TV3 story: "The IOC banned helmet stickers in tribute to Canadian halfpipe skier Sarah Burke, who died after a crash in training two years ago. * The IOC's tough stance is often explained by fears that allowing someone to display non-Games-related messages on the gear would encourage others to use the games for their own gain." -- Yeah, right... the IOC just isn't going to allow anything advertised that the IOC can't get compensated for.

Those "ugly Christmas sweater" Olympic garb designed by Ralph Lauren were being sold (and sold out) on the Polo website at $595.00 each. Some have made their way to "ebay" and have moved at $3,000.00. Taste, like art, is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but..I didn't know Ralph Lauren was visually impaired.

Online story: "Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 has selected The Living’s (David Benjamin) “circular tower of organic and reflective bricks” as winner for the Young Architects Program’s (YAP) 15th edition in New York. An exemplar of the cradle-to-cradle philosophy, the temporary installation will be built using a new method of bio-design that results in a structure made entirely from organic material." -- "Temporary" buildings? Sounds more like something the MCSD Board would approve for a new school building. It seems every one it builds has an expiration date stamped on the side.

Online story: " The Copenhagen Zoo killed a 2-year-old giraffe and fed its remains to lions as visitors watched * Marius, a healthy male, was put down Sunday using a bolt pistol * The public feeding of Marius' remains to the lions was popular at Copenhagen Zoo. Stenbaek Bro said it allowed parents to decide whether their children should watch what the zoo regards as an important display of scientific knowledge about animals." -- Hmmm, cut out the part about publicly feeding the remains to lions, and I could vote to "outsource" our death penalty executions to the Copenhagen Zookeepers here in America.

That 15 year old Russian girl skater, Julia Lipnitskaia. I saw her standing up by herself so I know she actually does have bones in her body, but when she skates and spins, I couldn't imagine any one with bones in their body being limber enough to do what she can. Wow!

Online headline: "Donna Karan turns to real people for her DKNY show" -- Hmmm, guess the horde of "supermodels" now know what she thinks of them....

There ought to be a cap on ages for US Olympic skiers. Perennial bad boy Bode Miller just takes up space at age 36. It's time he got a regular job, and allow some up and coming youngster have a shot at the Gold.
---
Online headline: "Snowden used common low cost software to access millions of NSA documents." -- You'd at least think Snowden would have recommended his software for OObamaCRAP to use instead of that boondoggle Canadian software Sebelius spent $678 MILLION on... Now, don't go saying the NSA didn't know about that long before it went public.

Oh, that college basketball idiot who shoved a fan and got a three game suspension from his school. Ain't gonna mention his name or school. The NCAA and the Stillwater, OK police department should crack down on that program.... HARD!

Online story: "A new Department of Justice memo will instruct federal government lawyers to give same-sex marriages "full and equal recognition, to the greatest extent possible under the law," Attorney General Eric Holder plans to announce during a speech on Saturday. * The decision comes three years after Holder decided that the DOJ would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), most of which was struck down by the Supreme Court last summer." -- "most of which was struck down by the Supreme Court"? The Supreme Court recognizes the primary aspect of DOMA, that states are not required to redefine its laws of marriage to include same-sex unions. That being said, it is not the Pric Holder's or the DOJ's job (nor decision) to ignore individual rights of states. If same-sex married couples want the full support of the federal government, these couples should move to states that fall under the full umbrella of federal support.
---
Online headline/story: " Las Vegas gamblers eye aging slot machine they expect to pay off millions * For many gamblers, the hottest attraction on the floor of the MGM Grand is an outdated three-reel slot machine that hasn't produced a jackpot in nearly two decades." -- Even by Las Vegas odds, this one should be considered rigged/fixed not to payout.
---
One of the most prolific questions be asked by mainstream media I'd "Why is ObamaCare ailing?". Hmmm...that's the wrong question...the right one is "Why is ObamaCare FAILING?"

Democrats beware.. this will make you proud to be an American:

America just can't get no respect... guess it's the Rodney Dangerfield syndrome. Take the Olympics' iconic symbol.. the 5 rings of 5 colors. Each nation has one of its flag colors within the colors of the rings, but each of the rings is suppose to represent the continents that the competing countries come from. Asia has a ring, so does Europe, Africa, and Australia... but the Olympics decided that North America and South America have to share the 5th ring. Now, do we North Americans claim its our 'ring' at the expense of South America, or vice-versa? Or do the Americas vote out Australia.. heck we have two of our 50 states that have populations greater than all of Australia, and 2 more state that are close to Australia's total. Shoot, North America has 3 countries with more population by themselves, and South America has 5 counties with higher populations.

L-E headline: "BLACK-ON-BLACK CRIME * A DEADLY CYCLE * African-Americans in Chattahoochee Valley struggle to end pattern of black-on-black crime, a national epidemic" -- While I'm glad to see this being a focus poit... Black-on-Black crime is not just a black issue. It's not a "black thing, you won't understand" issue. We've gotten to this poit because anytime the white community wants to discuss it, somebody throws "the race card". It's to time everybody admit it's not a racial issue, it's a cultural issue, and it's an overall community issue and problem.

Looking at the crime maps/statistics that Mayor Obamalinson wants to focus on is somewhat skewed. The areas she has highlighted are heavy with drug issues, and increased police patrols will have little effect on them. Drug deals will just move a block or two, or wait for the patrol cars to drive away. The areas that would benefit most from increased patrols would be in areas that have more home burglaries, and car break ins/thefts. Of course, this ain't gonna happen on her watch, because she doesn't want to alarm her donor list by bringing those crime stats to their attention.
---
Don't you wonder why Mayor Obamalinson hasn't made a constantly up-to-date crime map available online? How hard would that be? Surely the additional costs (though they should be negligible) would fall under the Public Safety LOST revenues. now this is what crime prevention should be about!

Lo-o-o-w info voter's L-E "soundoff": " Major corporations are dominating and destroying our marketplaces and local economies, doing everything to avoid paying a fair share of taxes, and bullying local and state governments to subsidize their operations." -- Good grief! Even the Democratic Party had better slow down on class warfare or their followers will soon be after their heads as well. Karl Marx was a cream puff compared to this "soundoff" writer.
---
Incredibly low info voter's L-E "soundoff": "Thomas Jefferson, the best educated man of his time, had a passion for knowledge. Reagan promised to “eliminate the Department of Education,” and we now have the highest illiteracy rate in the developed world." -- Excuse me, but Reagan DIDN"T eliminate the Department of Education, so the "highest illiteracy rate in the developed world" cannot be blamed on him. Carter created it, and the Democrats have controlled the DOE since. The only thing more obvious that the analysis of this writer's claim is that the "soundoff" submitter has hoisted herself on her on petard.

The L-E editorial commentary on taking away the freedoms of lawyers to redistribute "legal wealth" is astounding! This is a quote from such: "Maybe the Georgia Bar should call for more hours of pro bono work on the part of its members. Maybe the state’s law schools can send more newly minted lawyers to underserved areas and populations as a way to both gain experience and pay for their legal education. Maybe the state can offer tax credits or other incentives to take on cases for people who can’t pay.
(Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Hugh) Thompson is right: Adequate legal access should be a right, not a privilege." -- This is coming out of the mouths of people who wouldn't have a job if not for the 1st Amendment of our Constitution, and from the same people who would raise the roof over their rights if government said they had to provide news services for free! What hypocrites!

Online story: "Political consultant Noah Bryson Mamet, whom President Barack Obama has nominated to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Argentina, admitted that he has never actually been to that country during his Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing Thursday. * Mamet bundled at least $500,000 for Obama's reelection campaign, according to the Center for Public Integrity. He served on the Obama-Biden National Finance Committee for the 2012 campaign." -- Once again, here's an example of bribery being demonstrated by giving a heavy donor a taxpayer funded ceremonial job. This is just plain ordinary graft/bribery in action, and this must be stopped.
---
The criminal investigation of the IRS scandals of refusing to confirm 501 (c) conservative groups status in a timely manner has ended. This was an investigation headed up by a maxxed-out Judas 00-Barnum donor, and at least 41 of the affected groups were never interviewed . Hmmm.. does that sound like the ' no stone unturned' and transparent investigation Judas 00-Barnum declared would be his course of action?
---
Online story: "A person is in custody after attempting to climb the White House fence on Friday afternoon, NBC and CNN report.* According to NBC, a Secret Service official said the person was carrying two bags, which officers on the scene declared as "suspicious." -- Hmmm.. maybe a couple bags of "donations" so he could get appointed to some ambassadorship? Either that or the guys lucky the Park Police didn't do a "Miriam Carey" on him.
---
Online story: "Several House Republicans have introduced a proposal that would require food stamp recipients to show photo identification when making purchases -- a move they say is necessary to prevent fraud in the program that aids 1 in 7 Americans." -- Of course it makes sense but Democrat campaigns, with backup from mainstream media, will make this look like another "stupid Republican ... trick". My question is: Where were these and every other Republicans and Democrats alike when the bill was drawn up without making ID's a requirement? No tax dollar should be distributed to an individual citizen who cannot identify her/himself as to being whom the check was intended.

Online story: "The world of competitive gaming revolves around young players, but it's not always easy for them to participate -- many of them are college students without the resources to host large tournaments. They'll soon get a helping hand from Blizzard, a game developer which is now promising support for college gaming groups that are part of the The eSports Association (TeSPA); as groups get larger, Blizzard will offer increasing amounts of cash, in-game bonuses and promo material. Groups with over 200 members will even get special guests. While the move is no doubt meant to sell more games, it could also create a stronger eSports community that nurtures rookies until they're ready to hit the big leagues." -- And parents thought they only had to worry about drug and alcohol messing up their children's education. Colleges who permit this should at least make any money the students "win" be either in the form of scholarship credits or make the checks be written out to whomever is paying the bill (parents or student loan companies).
---
Online story: "The Taliban said Friday that they have captured a military dog belonging to NATO forces in Afghanistan, releasing a video of the canine wearing a high-tech harness. * Mujahid said by telephone that the dog is being held in a "safe place" in Laghman. "The condition of the dog is okay – he was not injured and is not being mistreated," he said." -- There's something wrong with a society that teats dogs better than humans, regardless of whether or not the dogs are better than people. Of course, in this situation, the dog is just being "fattened up" for a future meal.
---
WRBL3 story: "KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) - Sage Kotsenburg of the United States won the first gold medal of the 2014 Olympics on Saturday, soaring to victory in the men's snowboarding slopestyle final." -- Hmmm, who, 25 years ago, would have ever believed that some 'skaterboy' game would be an Olympic sport. Who, among you actually knows what "snowboarding, slopestyle" is?
---
L-E story: "TOKYO — The Tokyo area was hit by a rare heavy snowfall Saturday, stalling trains, grounding flights, and blanketing roads and skyscrapers with snow. * By mid-afternoon, around 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow had fallen" -- Once again, God squash's Algore's contention that man is responsible for the weather.
---
Online story: "Clint Eastwood added another starring role at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am — life saver. * Eastwood attended a volunteer party on the eve of the PGA Tour event when he noticed tournament director Steve John choking on a piece of cheese. The 83-year-old actor quickly performed the Heimlich maneuver Wednesday night at the Monterey Conference Center." -- Hmmm, bet Steve John is glad he invited Eastwood instead of "the empty chair". John would be dead waiting on for his online OObamaCRAP form to be loading.
---
Online headline/story: "Michael Jackson estate embroiled in tax fight with IRS * According to documents filed with the U.S. Tax Court in Washington, Jackson's executors placed his net worth at the time of his June 2009 death at slightly more than $7 million. * The IRS placed it at $1.125 billion, a difference so vast it looks like a typo. * The agency has told Jackson's executors that the estate owes $505 million in taxes and an additional $197 million in penalties, for a total of more than $702 million." -- Hmmm, maybe now the mainstream media will get interested in the IRS scandals.
---
Online story: "Montana's governor picked Lt. Gov. John Walsh on Friday to be interim U.S. senator, an appointment that could kick-start Walsh's election campaign as Democrats seek to keep the seat — and control of the U.S. Senate — in their hands. * Walsh said in a news conference that he would keep Montana's interests first and said he would not be "sucked in" to the political culture of Washington. * "There are too many politicians who put their own political agendas ahead of doing what's right, too many folks who don't take their responsibility seriously," Walsh said." -- "would not get sucked in"? Hmmm, sounds like he's already been "sucked in" and he hasn't even made it to Washington yet...
---
Online story: "A US state department official has pleaded guilty to passing classified information on North Korea to an American journalist. * Stephen Kim, 46, now faces a 13-month sentence as part of a plea deal. * The case began after Fox News journalist James Rosen published a story in June 2009 about US intelligence on North Korea. * Kim, who was a former senior adviser for intelligence to an assistant secretary of state," -- "senior advisor to an assistant secretary of state"? Mainstream media just will not attach Hillary to anything...
---
Online story: "New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday said that he doesn't care much for Vice President Joe Biden's criticisms of LaGuardia Airport over renovations that it needs. * Biden on Thursday likened the airport to "some third-world country" while touting more modern airports in places like Hong Kong. * De Blasio defended the airport on Friday when asked about Biden's comments. He said the remarks were not Biden's "finest moment" and called them "inappropriate." He also said that was not the right way to talk about it." -- Hmmm, so Bleep Veep Biden's remarks were just "inappropriate"? Bet if Biden had been a Republicanm de Blasio would have described him as being "a bully". Libs are so warped.

You know...we should have seen it coming when Judas 00-Barnum named GE's Jeff Immelt as his economic advisor.. All he really did was get incandescent bulbs banned for high cost per unit fluorescent and LED bulbs on the shelves.

Passed on from a fellow BCer - Online story: "The results are in! Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) is the “winner” of Citizens Against Government Waste's online poll for 2013 Porker of the Year. * Rep. Blumenauer earned this dubious award by introducing H.R. 3636, the UPDATE Act of 2013, which would increase the federal gas tax by nearly 82 percent, from its current 18.4 cents per gallon rate to 33.4 cents per gallon. * As the founder of the Congressional Bike Caucus, he has been a prominent proponent of siphoning transportation money away from vital infrastructure in order to fund pet projects like bicycle paths and pedestrian walkways. Taxpayers coughed up $9.6 billion for these low-priority boondoggles through FY 2013, and such transportation earmarks have been a major drain on the Highway Trust Fund." -- Hmmm, please note, there are no user/licensing fees or taxes on bicycles, but the Democrat sees no need to distribute the cost for using the highways.
---
Runner up for the above award is another Democrat (in fact all 8 nominees were Democrats), Rep Steny Hoyer of Maryland. * Rep. Hoyer received his nomination for refusing to acknowledge that Washington has a spending problem and instead asserting on February 12, 2013: “The country has a paying for problem. We haven’t paid for what we bought; we haven’t paid for our tax cuts; we haven’t paid for war.” -- Hoyer has been spending our tax dollars since 1981.. that's 33 years of earmarking our tax dollars.
---
The libs are girding their thighs at Bob Costa's evaluation of Putin being a "peacemaker"... Why are libs upset.? Costa's is one of them, and only has Judas 00-Barnum to compare as a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Putin has at least stopped 00-Barnum from attacking Syria.
---
Bill Gates is worth $60+/- BILLION dollars. The cap on our National Debt is m=now at $17.2 TRILLION. If Judas 00-Barnum cloned Bill Gates' complete holdings 286 times and confiscated them, he still be short of wiping out the National Debt. In just his 5 years in office, he's added $7 Trillion ( Gates times 120) of those $17.2 Trillion our grandkids are now saddled with, and OObamaCRAP has really not even kicked in.

L-E's "Quotable": “The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.” - Thomas Jefferson 3rd U.S. President (1743-1826)" -- This just proves how wise our Forefathers were when they wrote out Constitution... the elite are still trying to undo what our Forefathers anticipated would happen if the Constitution was weakend if more power were give to a single person.

Renaming our school sectors is a time-tried liberal play in their book of politics. We got "sanitation engineers" when they renamed garbage collectors; we got "TV Broadcasters" when they rename "news readers", and so-on, and so-on. Renaming something neither solves or makes the old problem go away. How about just calling what we got what it actually is, and try to solve that. Basically we just have too much "political correctness", and nothing is going to change until everyone admits its about culturism rather than racism.
