HuffPost "Headlie": "Boeing Paid No Federal Income Tax Last Year: Analysis"
-- Hmmm so Boeing paid "no" income tax last year.. hmmm.. guess that's a sign of
good management. On the other hand, 169,000+ employees making between
$21.00-to-$143.00 per hour paid income taxes, shareholders of 751,450,000 shares
paid income taxes on $2,006,371,500.00 paid in dividends. Only a liberal or
liberal group would claim Boeing, or any corporation didn't pay income taxes.
Truth is, no corporation should have to pay income taxes.

Online headline/story: "Activists Petitioning To Split California Into Six
States * The proposed measure would divide California into six states, called
Jefferson, North California, Silicon Valley, Central California, West California
and South California." -- Not a bad start, but who in the rest of the country
wants to have 12 Senators like Feinstein and Boxer. I have a suggestion... how
about if California just splits itself off from the US and officially lives in
its own little world it has carved out for itself already?

Online story: "President Obama will not include cuts to Social Security and
other earned-benefit programs in his upcoming budget, the White House confirmed
on Thursday. * The cuts had been included in past proposals to lure Republicans
into a so-called "grand bargain" that would raise taxes and cut spending with
the goal of deficit reduction." -- What hogwash...Judas 00-Barnum is going to
have a rough time getting any Democrats re-elected to Congress as it is without
upsetting Seniors anymore than they are, but to claim that Republicans liked
cutting earned SS pensions and raising taxes is another out-and-out lie.

Another HuffPost "headlie": "Turns Out Anti-Union Volkswagen Workers May
Have Screwed Themselves And The South" -- Hmm, the head of the German Works
Council (union) says co-determination may mean no more expansion of VW in the
South. Wanna bet? VW chose the South following the successes of BMW,
Mercedes-Benz, Kia et al , and others will follow suit. The South is not only a
"right-to-work" area, it's an area employees actually "like-to-work".

Online story: " Two senior officials at JPMorgan Chase & Co and
predecessor companies repeatedly confronted Bernard Madoff over irregularities
in his business, a new lawsuit said, suggesting that bank leaders had "direct
knowledge" of his Ponzi scheme. * The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the
Steamfitters Local 449 Pension Fund in Pittsburgh and Central Laborers' Pension
Fund in Jacksonville, Illinois, both shareholders of JPMorgan." -- Hmmm, seems
to me, the real lawsuit to file is by the employees who contributed into their
pension funds against their own pension fund committee that swallowed Madoff's
pie-in-the-sky profit scheme.

Has any one from the mainstream media actually asked Judas 00-Barnum as to
which side he supports in Kiev? The government, which wants the citizens to have
fewer rights, or the protestors who want less government and more freedoms? Can
anyone from the mainstream media tell us which side 00-Barnum takes on those
issues in this country.

Bleep Veep Biden has been appointed the sacrificial lamb for OObamaCRAP.
He's out shaking his head that they won't get the 7 Million signees Judas
00-Barnum said was the magic number to make it work. You know, for a program
with the intent of getting 30+ MILLION people who weren't insured into an
insurance program. 7,000,000 was an embarrassing goal to begin with, but with it
missing it by so much is pathetic.

Why would the FCC want or need to spy on our newsrooms/newspapers? Doesn't
the FCC have control of all airwaves the NSA is scanning?

Online headline: "Feds warn of possible shoe-bomb threat" -- Ooops, my bad,
thought Judas 00-Barnum was warning us about the latest Jimmy Choo line.
---
Hmmmm...the FCC spying...Kiev....and now Shoe Bombs...hey... what about
Benghazi? What about 00bamaCRAP?

Kiev has turned from beautiful to Detroitish.

Is Judas 00-Barnum is trying to pull the wool over mainstream media's eyes
by jabbing the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 10th while what he really wants to circumvent
is the 22nd? Guess he figures mainstream media and the Republicans will give him
the 22nd if he will leave the others alone.

Latest from www.barackobama/organizingforaction.com:
"Hal * It's been nearly four years since President Obama signed the Affordable
Care Act into law. * It makes you wonder when the Health Care Repealers in
Congress are going to face reality. They voted 46 times in the House to repeal
or restrict health care reform -- some have even said repeal is their top
priority." -- "when the Health Care Repealers in Congress are going to face
reality"? What I want to know is when mainstream and the White House is going to
face reality!

Is there no shame in the White House? The newest press spokesperson is
named Josh Earnest, but he still spins the truth just as bad as that Carney
shill.

You know, candy packaging has really changed over the last 50 years. Not
near as many come in cardboard boxes, but remember when those that did had a
message on one end that read either, "Do not open this end" or "open other end".
My bride bought some "Sweethearts" to give to her church charges, and I got a
box that was left over. There it was, "Open Other End".. I didn't, and the
little sugar bombs tasted as sweet as I remembered when I opened the other end
all those years in the past. Test those tags off your mattresses and pillows!
You will feel better!

Online story: " Richard Talley, 57, founder of American Title Services in
Centennial, Colorado, was also found dead earlier this month after apparently
shooting himself with a nail gun * Talley was found "with eight nail gun wounds
to his torso and head" in his own garage." -- At first, I thought this was the
punch line to an old joke, but it's reality. Wonder if the coroner ordered an
autopsy? Glad it wasn't in Columbus.

Online quote source: "“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I
am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must
stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and
part with him when he goes wrong.” - Abraham Lincoln" -- Hmmm, no doubt he was a
Republican.. this is surely lost on those who run as or vote as a
Democrat.

From the L-E's "Looking back | Fifty years ago today, February 21, 1964 *
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Looking Back archive is temporarily unavailable due to
technical problems." -- Hmmm. twice in one week.. Guess either they lost the key
to the Morgue, or there was good things to say about this date in 1964 that the
L-E just didn't want to admit happened.

L-E headline: "Cardinals delve into divorce-remarriage debate" -- Hmmm...
like they are so in tune with the intricacies of marriages ....

While Columbus should be glad to have Owen Ditchfield run for another seat
on the MCSD board.. kit's a little disconcerting is that he says he's doing so
to support the new Superintendent.. That's not what his job is supposed to do.
School board members should be the Columbus taxpayers/voters monitor to watchdog
how the school administration handles our young peoples education and public
dollars.

L-E story: " Sandra Okamoto, a 39-year veteran of the Ledger-Enquirer, was
honored by the Springer Opera House at its annual season announcement Thursday

hear!

On a personal note, 2014 is a varied emotional year for me so far. I bask
in seeing my oldest daughter planning her marriage and life with her friend and
husband-to-be, but have also lost three family members this year. My older
brother died on January 1st, and this week two other "members' passed. Louise
Morris, a church, and Kirven's Department Store family legend passed at age 95,
and "Mr. Richard" (Richard Howard Bickerstaff) died at age 96. Mr Richard and
his late wife Margaret were my other set of parents growing up and throughout my
life. I last saw and spoke with him about 3 weeks ago when I went to see him and
thank him for a donation he'd made to a shared favorite charity in memory of my
brother. His memory will be ongoing through my friendships with his children and
grandchildren.

L-E story: " Fannie May Confections is recalling 12,000 boxes of chocolates
because one of the chocolates inside contains peanuts, a fact that isn’t
reflected on the packaging. * The company announced the recall Wednesday and it
started pulling the red heart-shaped gift boxes off the market the same day. The
boxes weigh four ounces each and contain eight chocolates, including the
peanut/caramel candy. They had been sold since Jan. 10 in up to 450 stores,
including Walgreens, Hallmark Gift Shops and Jewel Grocers, in Arizona, Florida,
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin." -- How convenient... that
is making a recall of heart-shaped boxes of candy the week after Valentine's
Day, and AFTER the next day clearance sales. How many boxes actually got pulled
for recall. 5, 6?
