Online story: "During a visit to view India's Republic Day parade, Obama spent an entire two hours on an outdoor viewing platform, " --Hey, it's Monday.. the golf courses were closed.
---
Online story: "Obama and Modi heralded progress on defense and climate change, as well as breakthroughs on an impasse over implementing a landmark civil nuclear deal their countries agreed to in 2008." -- Hmmm..2008? Hey.. Bush 43 was president! Can't the mainstream media say anything nice about Bush43?
---
Online headline: "Obama, Modi declare era of 'new trust' in US-India relations" -- Huh? Are there no TVs in India? Has Modi never seen an Obamageddon speech or Josh Earnest doing damage control trying to explain it later?
---
Online story: " Northeast residents are girding for a "crippling and potentially historic" storm that could bury communities from northern New Jersey to southern Maine in up to 2 feet of snow." -- Hmm and when the temperature gets back above freezing, the Global Warming folks will be chiming in..
---
Something seems amiss... where's Algore? I remember when no report by mainstream media on weather didn't have a comment by Algore.
---
HuffPOOPOO headline:"Kanye West reveals why he never smiles" -- Dang.. I guessed Kim..
---
Have you seen the obnoxious ad where a jerk in a white medical smock declares you get free OObamaCRAP insurance..Even Josh Earnest couldn't lie his way denying this. www.freeuninsuredhelp.com
---
L-E editorial comment about the tax freeze: " Hard-working homeowners should have some kind of protection from property taxes rising faster than their incomes can keep up with." -- Good grief.. that's exactly why the freeze was voted in, and revoted in, and revoted in again!
---
Additional comment about the L-E editorial above: "The L-E shouldn't be making judgments about tax fairness when it sold its building to an organization which is exempt from paying taxes.
---
Speaking of forensic audits. how much quicker would Tony Adams and his P&R cronies been "outed" from the Nike Bb scam if the City did one?
---
Tidbit: The current National Debt at the moment I am typing this is $18.1 TRILLION. What was it when Obamageddon took office...$10.8 TRILLION? Hey, middle class friends of mine.. how do you like the $7.3 TRILLION "gift of debt" the Democrats have given our children and grandchildren in the past 6 years?
---
L-E's "Thought for Today: “My experience of the world is that things left to themselves don’t get right.” — T.H. Huxley, English biologist and author (1825-1895)." -- Hmmm.. wonder what Huxley would say about how things go when left to liberals? Hmm, actually.. I don't wonder.. Huxley was a smart man, too.
---
L-E headline/story: "Obama proposes designating Alaska refuge a wilderness * In a White House video released Sunday, Obama said he is seeking the designation “so we can make sure that this amazing wonder is preserved for future generations.” -- "preserved for future generations"? You know.. the first oil well in America was drilled in Pennsylvania in 1859.. I'd say Pennsylvania's past generations have survived OK. What the White House is doing,, is saying... is that "hey libs, don't abandon me" .... This sorta reminds me of Clinton shutting down the best coal producing area of Utah to appease the same libs..
---
From the L-E's "Looking back | Fifty years ago today, January 26, 1965" feature (slightly redacted): "A Jordan High School junior..... and two young Americus friends died in the crash of a light private aircraft here early today * *****, who was piloting the two-place plane, had reportedly taken off in dense fog for a brief “joy ride’ over the city." -- You know.. 50 years ago, families would grieve,, second guesses would prevail, and hopefully a "life lesson" would help others.. If it happened to today, a whole slew of lawyers would be filing suit against the plane maker for building a cabin for two with enough room for a third person to scrunch into.
---
L-E's "Online comment of the day": “I read most of the article. Our district already does audits quite frequently. Lewis makes the findings available for the public. People just need to take the time to read them.” -- Good grief.. obvious a school system minion.. "audits" currently done are little more than balancing the check book, and the "commeter" summed up the perils when he/she said "I read most of the article". Reading most of an article is similar to reading most of a check balancing "audit".. you miss the point.

I'm curious..why aren't American citizens, here or abroad, who pick up arms, join terrorist cells, or carry out/physically support terrorist acts against any other American citizen stripped of their American citizenship as a result of an act of treason?
---
Do you think Michael Moore has said anything about the jihadist cowardice regarding the decapitations of children that perhaps has been muffled by mainstream media?
---
Online headline: "McDonald's U.S. sales drop for fifth consecutive quarter" -- Two things to parse here..1 - minimum wage jobs..fewer... company will move to more automated solutions. 2 - market focus.. McD's has lost it's focus on what it did to get to the top.. McD's has abandoned going after families.. being the place kids scream for their parents to stop and get food. Now McD's seems it wants to be "grown up" and an alternative to Starbucks. McD's will not shake the image it created, so it might as well try to get that image back.
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: Supreme Court To Take Up Use Of Lethal Injection" -- Hmmm, can we vote on the first 3 or 4 to try it out on?

---
Online story: "Saying his team "followed every rule to the letter," New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick described in detail how his team prepares its footballs on game day and defended his players from chatter that they made it to the Super Bowl by cheating." -- Hmmm..."followed every rule to the letter" is not the same as following every rule to "it's intent". What Belichick really said is "we've gotten away with bending the rule as far as we can".
---
Hey, Pric Holder... when are you going to arrest UVA President Teresa Sullivan for profiling every fraternity on campus?
---
Looking at the totals of the Fiscal (End June 30,2014) MCSD Year, we see that the school system received $348,500,000.00 dollars in Governmental funds (Read: TAXES). That's from yours and my pockets. That's over $10,880.00 per student. Other than Brookstone, no Columbus area private school tuition is anywhere near that per student. What do they do with the money, and why can't the school administrators and MCSD keep the facilities in decent condition. How can anyone (not directly involved) be against a much needed forensic audit
---
In 1990, with 32,000 students in the system.. the MCSD had 5,000 total employees..2,000 of those were teachers/administrators and 3,000 support staff. 2 years ago (can't get more recent info).. again there were 32,000 students but employee growth went to 6,000+ .. with 3,800 teachers/administrators and about 2,200 support staff. Using a colloquial analogy, it's not hard to see that we have too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Our students' progress is hampered by the levels of red tape that have to be dealt with in getting help into the classrooms, while not enough staff is available to keep those classrooms up to code. How can anyone (not directly involved) be against a much needed forensic audit.
---
You know, if the MCSD Board/System wants my support..my vote on SPLOST issues, then every item should be shown in detail to the public..what we have been shown basically would create an $188 MILLION Dollar "slush fund".
---
Has anybody actually broken down the percent of non-Muscogee County "vistors" retail expenditures?.. Other new car purchases, most everything offered for sale here can be purchased in other locales that are surely reminding its citizens that shopping local keeps the tax revenue "home" and helping out their own communities. As for cars, if a Phenix City buyer buys one here, dealers collect the Alabama/Phenix City taxes and send them there by law.
---
Online story: "President Obama, during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, gave shouts outs to a number of American companies in an effort to highlight the strength of the U.S. economy. * Nearly all of those companies, it turns out, are big political spenders and have contributed heavily to Democrats. * President Obama cited eBay as an example of “millions of Americans in jobs that didn’t even exist 10 or 20 years ago.” One of those companies was eBay, which Obama cited as an example of how “millions of Americans [are working] in jobs that didn’t even exist 10 or 20 years ago.” * That now seems like an unfortunate choice, because less than 24 hours after Obama’s speech, eBay announced it was cutting 2,400 jobs, or about 7 percent of its workforce. Investors welcomed the layoffs, and the company’s stock jumped more than 4 percent on the news.." -- Well, we can all look forward to January 2016 when Obamageddon packs his bags.
---
Obamageddon is going to Saudi to personally convey his condolences to the new king.. I guess he figured Biden, Kerry, or James Taylor either didn't know how low to bow or wouldn't do so.
---
Have noticed how fast Obamageddon "spinmeisters" talk? I guess it's because they do not want to engage in ordinary debate, so they don't have to stop and answer challenges of the "facts" they can't defend. One yesterday was rattling off that "all" corporations were basically not paying taxes. A Fox Panel member devoured her by asking her to name 5 such companies which she no idea .
---
Online story: "Billionaire Jeff Greene, former Democrat Senate candidate from Florida in 2010, who amassed a multibillion dollar fortune betting against subprime mortgage securities (made a profit on Obamageddon failures), says the U.S. faces a jobs crisis that will cause social unrest and radical politics. * “America’s lifestyle expectations are far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence,” Greene said in an interview today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “We need to reinvent our whole system of life.” -- Greene flew in on his own private jet.. wanna be he's not for redistributing his wealth?
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Obama Predicts Bright Future For Legal Weed" -- Yeah.. more stoners will insure the longevity of entitlement jobs.
---
NYC, obviously by a Mayor de Bl(_*_)io edict, may require a doctor to be in attendance on the sidelines at all youth football games and practices. Hmmm, wonder what page of OObamaCRAP this is covered ?
---
Online quote source: "“No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.” - L. Frank Baum" -- Now we see the game plan of public education as offered by Democrats.. just deny them of knowledge before they are old enough to vote.
---
L-E headline: "...women and children with “Stop the Violence” signs took part in the “Parade and Rally for Wisdom” Saturday on Cusseta Road." -- Courts must adopt a similar approach used (practiced to a fault at times) by schools.. "Zero Tolerance" of guns illegally acquired or used in crimes. Schools expel students for such.. Courts should "expel" such criminals from the streets of society.
---
L-E story: "The former president of the Meriwether Association of Educators faces a felony theft by conversion charge in the loss of $33,000 from a legal services fund, authorities said. * The sheriff’s investigation was launched after the Meriwether County Board of Education was notified that the account was overdrawn. The alleged conversion of the funds occurred sometime between November 2012 and December 2014 while Turner was president." -- This would have been discovered earlier by a forensic audit.. case closed!

Online story: "A 19-year-old suburban Denver woman who tried to go to Syria to help Islamic State militants was sentenced to four years in prison Friday, even as she tearfully told a judge that she never wanted to hurt anyone and has disavowed jihad." -- Hmmm... how about sending her to Syria, along a "wanted flyer" about her denial of jihadist commitment plastered on billboards.
---
Online headline/story: "A Scorsese Documentary on Bill Clinton Is Stalled * Mr. Scorsese’s partly finished documentary about Mr. Clinton — which once seemed likely to be released as Hillary Rodham Clinton was navigating a presidential run — has stalled over disagreements about control * Mr. Clinton insisted on more control over the interview questions and final version than Mr. Scorsese was willing to give," -- Good grief.. why should Clinton care about what questions he is asked.. he'll either lie or dodge them all together.
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Michael Bloomberg Reportedly Still Interested In Purchasing The New York Times" -- Hmmm.. Carlos Slim is the largest shareholder, and now Bloomberg wants the rest. What will the 99-percenters say when the upper 1% of the 1-percent is in control of the 99-percenters' "bible"?
---
Online headline: "NFL power rankings: 30 most dominant teams all-time" -- Stop.. don't bother to think about it, much less actually hope for the Falcons to have a spot.. they don't
---
Online headline: "YouTube star GloZell Green sat down for a chat with President Obama on Thursday, and she accidently called his wife something she is not." -- Ooops. my bad.. I figured she asked if she wore boxers or briefs...
---
Online story: "A Muslim woman filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing Dearborn Heights police of violating her constitutional rights by making her remove her Islamic headscarf after they arrested her for driving on a suspended license. * The lawsuit asks for Dearborn Heights to "modify its current policy" so that Muslim women can wear Islamic headscarves during booking procedures. * Kazan objected, saying her Islamic faith required her to cover her hair and neck in the presence of men who are not part of her immediate family, the lawsuit said" -- Good grief.. it's American police protocol to remove headcoverings/scarves to take mugshots, and any long clothing items that a prisoner could use to endanger themselves while in a cell. Sentence her to a one way ticket to Syria.
---
A friend of mine passed on the astute words of a friend of his concerning multi-tasking vs focus.. he said, "You can't chase two rabbits".. The Congressional Republicans should remember this.. for that matter, the MCSD Board should also..
---
LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Muscogee County citizens might more readily go along with Myers and Thomas if they would just once give a reason or two why they are so adamant about having a top-to-bottom audit." -- Good grief.. hasn't this Jponathan Gruberesque commenter been reading about the $30,000,000.00 "accounting error" at St Francis?
---
L-E story: " Bowing to privacy concerns, the Obama administration reversed itself Friday, scaling back the release of consumers’ personal information from the government’s health insurance website to private companies with a commercial interest in the data." -- Good grief.. and we were concerned about leaks in the NSA while Obamageddon was actually selling the info he swore to keep private!
---
L-E headline: "Army: Fort Hood lacked system to ID threat of ’14 rampage" -- Yeah.. military personnel carrying guns (other than a solo jihadist), and don't forget.. theis was caused by a Bill Clinton Executive Order.
---
L-E headline: "Obama heading to India, hoping to improve ties" -- Oooops, my bad.. I thought Michelle apparently has bad taste in her daily TIE selection for Obamageddon..
---
Side note.. why would India believe anything Obamageddon says/suggests? Honesty is of importance in India.
---
Does anybody other than the staff at the Ledger-Enquirer read the retro "Doonesbury" strip on the editorial page.. I guess it's a liberal thing.. to retry the same garbage in hopes "the right person" will make it work. Hmmm, this is probably the foundation of the definition of "insanity" .. doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
---
L-E story: " A loaded .45-caliber pistol was found near a fence at E.J. Knight Apartments on Thursday, Columbus police said.* A check of the weapon revealed that it wasn’t stolen. Police seized the gun and took it to the Public Safety Center." -- "wasn't stolen"? Maybe..more than likely, just hasn't been reported stolen... yet..

I guess it'll sorta be like the adage about things happening "when hell freezes over". I mean expecting non-radical Islamist Imams rising up to stop ISIS. In other words, the Islamist Imams will do so when the non-racist black clergy of America rise up and shuts down, Al Shalatan and Jesse Jackson.
---
My favorite Fox News contributor, black, political- correctness-be-damned Sheriff Davis Clarke of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. He pretty much summed up the worth of Al Sharpton..Clarke said, "The next smart thing that comes from the mouth of Al Sharpton will be the first smart thing said by Al Sharpton." Amen, Sheriff Clarke!
---
HuffPOO story: "Gov. Andrew Cuomo wasn't the one in custody on Thursday. But the arrest of powerful New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver could spell plenty of trouble for his fellow Democrat. * The state's chief executive will face tough questions over his handling of corruption in the legislature. * Just hours after Silver's arrest on bribery and kickback charges involving millions of dollars, Cuomo's opponent in last year's Democratic primary wrote an op-ed lambasting the governor for closing down the corruption commission he'd created in July 2013. * Cuomo been sent a sharp reminder that U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara may be looking into why Cuomo killed an investigation into just the sort of double-dealing that Silver stands accused of." -- Whoa.. looks like the Democratic Party hierarchy is devouring its own.. Waita minute.. didn't Bharara get taken down himself by a federal judge a couple of days ago? Yeah! Senior US District Judge Kevin Thomas Duffy, also in New York, just lambasted Assistant US Attorney Stanley J. Okula from Preet Bharara’s office for lying to the court and advised that he bring a supervisor with him to court from now on. Richard Nixon may go down in history considered a choir boy compared to Cuomo.
---
Football-gate:
1- There are one question that I haven't seen addressed: Did anyone check out the Colts' footballs to see if they had similar deflation that matched the Patriots' footballs.
2- Of course a slightly deflated football can make a difference..That's the concept behind a "Nerf" football..It's easier to grip, to throw, and easier to catch, especially in cool/cold weather.
3- The best bet is on the New England Patriots..Media, and probably Seattle's personnel will be so concerned about checking the ball pressure that they won't be focused on where Brady has moved/thrown it.
4- You know, the "football" controversy in the NFL game just reminds me of why I like golf, and still enjoy watching it live or on TV. If a player in a tournament altered an approved ball, or used an unapproved ball, the punishment would be swift and certain.
5- Hmmm,sounds like Belichick and Brady are taking the Dick "I am not a crook" Nixon defense..
6 - That's all I have to say on deflated egos... uh,, footballs.
---
Online story: "Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid displayed a large bandage over his right eye, a determination to seek 2016 re-election and an unimpaired partisan political instinct Thursday at his first news conference since suffering an injury while exercising." -- C'mon, Nevada voters, you can do better than Reid. Your country needs you!
---
Republican Ohio Governor Kasich believes there needs to be a standard for education children reach..an average education. Good grief... I was taught that "average" was either the worst of the best or the best of the worst..I don't wish that on any child as an educational goal. Shoot for the moon!
---
I know why I am a conservative independent voter. Republicans that consider morals legislation as the standard of conservatism have pretty much concluded only Jesus could go to the polls and cast a guilt-free ballot.
---
Bryant Gumbel's general attack on the NRA is inexcusable. Hey, Pric Holder, are you going to arrest Gumbel for profiling?
---
According to the Columbus L-E, there are 12 men on the latest "Most Wanted" in Columbus list..10 blacks, 1 white, 1 Latino. Any questions why more minorities are sitting in jail?
---
WTVM 9 story: "Columbus residents tell News Leader 9 the high crime rate across the city is a problem, but Mayor Teresa Tomlinson said there is a plan in place. * "We have a plan to fight crime and we've had one for years. We're making great strides but it's never low enough. If you have one crime and one victim then that's too much and so it's a constant battle to fight crime," Tomlinson said.
1- "Providing money for our law enforcement" : "We spend more than $60,000,000 a year on law enforcement in this jurisdiction. We have the highest per capita investment rate for law enforcement anywhere in the state right here in Columbus, GA.”
2 - . Crime prevention: "Many times with middle school and high school children who may not have the oversight at home or have threats in their life may be pulled toward crime like drugs and risky behavior. We want to cut that path off and steer those children into better paths.
3- Reducing poverty: "Fighting poverty is something that brings stability to the schools, families, and community. It also reconnects people through a vibrancy of economics to dramatically reduce crime."
Good grief..Item 2 of the Mayor's response ignores how this has evolved to where it is now. School programs have taken parental responsibilities off of parents. The schools pick them up, feed'em breakfast , lunch, (and in some cases, an after school snack, provide baby sitting services, then drop'em off at home later. Then there are other school created problems ..books, well, not enough books so children take them home where parents so inclined could help, or math books that do not have the basic formulas in them that a parent could refresh themselves in order to help. As Pogo said, "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
---
Hey, remember the woman sitting next to Michelle during the SOTU speech.. the one Obamageddon referred to as "the reason I ran for this office" ? Well...somebody put the spotlight on and it appears, while she and her husband may have had a humble beginning, BUT she is a former Democratic campaign operative, working as a field organizer for Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.). Also, this also wasn’t the first time the White House used the former Democratic campaign staffer as a political prop. Obama spent a “day in the life” of Erler in June so that he could have “an opportunity to communicate directly with the people he’s working for every day. It's bad enough when Obamageddon just lies, but bringing along A/V props that are lies as well...
---
Online story: "AT&T Georgia is suing Atlanta and MARTA for millions of dollars it says it’s owed for relocating utilities to make way for the city’s new Streetcar. * In a lawsuit filed in Fulton County Superior Court last month, the telecommunications company said it spent $5.8 million when it was ordered to relocate its equipment, * The city and MARTA have so far refused to pay, according to the filing, because they believe that Atlanta has “the inherent authority” to force AT&T to move its equipment." -- Hmmm.. government run amok? Psssst.. AT&T.. why don't you just shut down the power to Atlanta City government buildings and MARTA stations until they pay up?
---
L-E headline: "Sheriff Darr and city sign pact with Justice Department to improve mental health at jail" -- I haven't pinpointed it yet, but somewhere in this headline is the Oxymoron of all Oxymorons..
---
L-E headline: "Elections board calls for school tax vote, will open 3 early voting polls" -- Good grief.. less than two months to an election date is not nearly enough time for the SPLOST projects to even be discussed in public, much less open early voting sessions!
---
You know.. except for required special elections that are mandated by law.. all open elections should be held on the established general election date of the first Tuesday in November.
---
L-E headline: "Comedy Central to roast Justin Bieber" -- Too easy... Well, this is the best way to cook a weenie...

Thursday, January 22, 2015


Online headline: "Justice Department reportedly ready to clear Ferguson officer" -- Good grief.. mainstream media and the DOJ just cannot admit it was wrong in painting Officer Wilson as a racist for carrying out his sworn duties to protect society. Shame on Holder.. mainstream media.. and, yes, Obamageddon for trying to throw Officer Wilson under the bus.
---
When you look at the 9th and 10th Commandments, you get more of an idea why Democrats want to keep Christian values out of public schools and public buildings. The 9th condemns lying so how can a Democrat keep a straight face during a campaign speech, and the 10th condemns redistribution of one person's property to another.
---
Online headline: "Hillary Clinton Dodges On Keystone Pipeline Again " -- Hmmm, obviously, Hillewinsky doesn't want to get off the fence, so she defers all questions about laying pipe to her residential expert, Bill.
---
You know.. it hasn't even occurred to Obamageddon nor the mainstream media that the middleclass sent all the Republicans to Congress this past election. There simply aren't enough 1-Percenters to even tip the voting scale, and we know that the entitlement class voted Democrat as a bloc.
---
Online headline: "Killer plants are actually much smarter than we think" -- It's happened.. liberals who talk to plants have started to hear plants talk back...
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Barack Obama: 'The Citizens United SCOTUS Decision Was Wrong''" -- No.. the Constitution was right and SCOTUS upheld it!
---
Interesting tidbit found: "Apple "apps" produced more revenue.. considerably more revenue, that all of Hollywood's box office receipts in 2014. Apple "app" developers also susteained over 250,000 more jobs than Hollywood.
---
Online story: "Pluto was recently reclassified as a planet, albeit a Dwarf planet, after losing the distinction in 2006" -- Yes! Now our generation's planet mobiles and science fair projects grades will be restored to the original grades!
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "France To Get Better Guns To Fight Terror" -- Well,. guess Obamageddon will have to find another socialist country to take the place of the government he's trying to change ours into/.
---
Online headline: "New York could soon have the highest minimum wage in the U.S." -- Good grief.. as if inner city unemployment wasn't already bad.. guess that means the NYPD will have even less inclinations to to patrol the streets and make arrests.
---
Online story: "According to Nielsen data, 31.7 million viewers watched Tuesday night's prime-time address on broadcast and cable networks. That's the lowest television viewership for a State of the Union address since President Bill Clinton's final speech to a joint session of Congress in 2000." -- Hmmm... double confirmation that after 6 years of liberalism at its worse, even liberals di=on't want to hear about how bad it has failed... again...
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "Kanye West claims he was the victim of racial profiling" -- "victim"? Kanye West is a "victim"? Well, maybe of his own ego, but Kanye West is a racist in the most obvious ways.
---
Online quote source: " “Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.” - Lao Tzu" -- Hmmm, obviously not a scripture from the Quran.
---
SOTU speech rewind: Obamageddon recites: "Surely we can agree it’s a good thing that for the first time in 40 years, the crime rate and the incarceration rate have come down together, " -- Hmmm this can be explained easily by the NYPD not walking the streets, nor answering calls in NYC, thus no arrests are being made nor new criminals being jailed..
---
Online story: "Add another Article III federal judge to the lengthening list of those fed up with the lying and abuses by our “now ironically named Department of Justice.” Senior US District Judge Kevin Thomas Duffy in New York just lambasted Assistant US Attorney Stanley J. Okula from Preet Bharara’s office for lying to the court and advised that he bring a supervisor with him to court from now on." -- Hmmm... wanna bet Okula or Bharara will be the replacenment appointee for Pric Holder as U.S. Attorney General.
---
This new SPLOST project "wish LUST" needs our legislative representatives to sound off on it. From what I read, SPLOST revenues cannot be raised for or spent on maintenance projects, and most of the "wish LUST" is for maintenance. Contact your reps for confirmation.
---
Something made me stop and listen as I ran across the beginning of a MCSD meeting on the TV yesterday. . I know Dr Lewis had been applauded for altering the area breakdown into 3 districts versus the straight North/South division of the past, but it sure sounds like he's going to be beating the old drum hard to get a decisive/devisive vote result on the SPLOST vote.
---
After watching the latest MCSD board meeting replay, Frank Myer hit the nail on the head that raising the SPLOST issue now is not popular with the man on the street. Unfortunately, the school system knows this, and is counting on a low turnout, heavily weighted with school system employees voting for their own , interests to carry the vote. There are 6,000 employees..add another 6,000 spouses, throw in employee parents/parents-in-laws, so, in effect, there's a self-serving voter base of close to 25,000 people.
---
Can I call'em..before the 2009 SPLOST was voted on, I challenged the absurdity of there being $223 MILLION being submitted since 5 years of the previous record 1 year collection ($36M) would only bring in about $180 Million, and that was not going to happen under the current economic conditions. I predicted that the total collected would probably be $45-$50 million short. At the last board meeting it was revealed that the SPLOST brought in a total of $174 MILLION, $49,000,000.00 SHORT of the goal of $223,000,000.00
---
You know...seeing as Bleep Veep Biden was the only Democrat smiling during Obamageddon's speech.. I guess it's because he's back in the running for 2016 after Obamageddon threw Hillewinsky under the bus.
---
Following a head's up to watch the last MCSD meeting, I did. I know Dr Lewis had been applauded for altering the area breakdown into 3 North/South districts versus the straight North/South division of the past, but it sure sounds like he's going to be beating the old drum hard to get a decisive vote result on the SPLOST vote. Samo-samo.
---
Random thought: Hmmm..let only sororities have parties with alcohol involved...boy, that'll show those frat boys..yeah, right..all that would mean is frat boys would have more money to spend buying personal consumption booze. It also just puts more pressure on college women. What happens when a party gets out of line, and they wanna go to the safety of their dorm but that's where the party is?
---
You know..media outlets and news shows that prefer electronic messaging via "twitter' is a lot what's wrong with the news right now. There can be no discussion, no exchange of ideas when there's a set limit of 140 characters per message.
---
Why was Sgt Tahmooressi the guest of Californian Congressman Duncan Hunter instead of Michelle Obama? Did you notice Obamageddon ignored his presence?
---
It's more than just coincidental that the Patriots only deflated 11 of their 12 game footballs. They needed one that wouldn't stick to the kickers' feet on punts, pats, and field goal attempts.
---
L-E headline/story: "Prosecutor drops charge against ex-Northside high school teacher * In dropping the charge of criminal attempt to commit a felony, Assistant District Attorney Wesley Lambertus wrote: “The defendant (Tucker Rollins Hearn, age 39) has surrendered his teaching license after making inappropriate and lewd comments to one of his female students. Therefore, said warrants are dismissed without prejudice.” -- Good grief.. and does the DA's office know where he is, or what he's been up to since? Like... when has a wrist slap ever stopped predatory recidivism?
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid L-E "soundoff": "I disagree with Eli Lake's column. We are not at war against radical Islam. We are at war against terrorists, many of whom call themselves Muslim, but who are themselves actually at war against Islam." -- Good grief...Well. where's the Islam army putting down these terrorists!

You know, our Councilman, and long time friend, Glenn Davis must be seething that All-Star wannabe Colby Rasmus will get paid more in one year than Glenn probably made in 7 years as an Astro..(I could be wrong, but not by much)

Wednesday, January 21, 2015


About 10 minutes into Obamageddon's speech, I began wondering whether he got his engagement calendar notations mixed up..I'm guessing he gave the speech he was planning on giving to the Liars Club.

After listening to Obamageddon's speech last night, the "Fact Check" website probably went down faster than the OObamaCRAP one last year.
---
On business ideas, Obamageddon is a train wreck, and a high speed one at that. How can he expect business executives to look past next quarters' earnings when analyzing front line employee costs when doing so jeopardizes the jobs of middle and upper level employees, and their companies continued existence .
---
Did you see Obamageddon's orange indoor tan? Looks like he was trying to match up with Boehner..wonder if they paid the 10% excise tax?
---
You know, it's tough listening to Obamageddon tell us how good things are going because we know he's lying.

---
Tell you what, my wife nailed Joni Ernst last night.. Saturday Night Live will have a field day with her hair style. Wonder if she went to John Kerry's stylist?
---
Obamageddon said we are are nation of laws.. Sure wish he would lead by example.
---
I don't know who was manning the "shared camera", but it was rather obvious that the camera director would not show the Democrats' weak responses to Obamageddon's talking points.
---
Good grief..Obamageddon literally said we need a new Cuban policy because it hasn't worked for 50 years.. Well...then let Cuba change!
---
Online headline: "Obama Made History By Using This Word in the State of the Union" -- Only the NY Times would mention that Obamageddon said "transgender".. but at the same time, the NY Times failed to mention that Obamageddon DID NOT MENTION al Qaeda even once.
---
Random thought: Why does Lysol et al, kill only 99.9% of germs? It doesn't seem like too big a stretch to kill the other 0.1%..
---
You know..the ISIS demand for $200,000,000.00 to release two Japanese hostages has exposed ISIS for what it really is..just street gangs. If ISIS was really about ideals, even its warped ones, , there would not be ransom demands, just more jihadist terrorism.
---
Good grief...a California newspaper us under fire for referring to illegal aliens as "Illegals" in a headline. You'd have thought that newspaper was in Iran, and Charlie Hebdo was the publisher. I tell you what, political correctness has gotten so stifling, "I CAN'T BREATHE"!
---
My bride and I went to see "American Sniper" Monday. I had asked her to "humor" me, and she did. She said that while it wasn't "her cup of tea", it also helped her in her relationship with couples, dear friends, in our lives that have lived the experience. I thanked her for going with me. She thanked me as well. Oh, one thing..if, (no, WHEN you go because you do not need to miss this) do not sit on the front row of the movie..especially if you are in the Car mike 15 " Big D" (auditorium 1 )..Thank goodness it wasn't in 3-D. You could not see the full screen from there unless you scanned the area with your eyes.
---
You know..what image do Columbus visitors get...take with them..when they drive along a major thoroughfare such as Veterans Parkway, and see two buildings with razor-wire fences protecting them. One is actually a Booker T Washington public housing building, and one is a thrift store across the street from another public housing project.
---
Online headline: "Earnest: "The World Is Not At War With Islam;" We're At War With Those Who Carry Out Attacks In The Name Of Islam" -- Good grief.. wonder how he would separate Hitler and Nazism.
---
National story that missed the Columbus L-E editor's attention: "Protesters invoking Michael Brown and Ferguson burst into an auditorium at Harris-Stowe State University early Monday afternoon and briefly shut down a Martin Luther King Day celebration. * "They came in here (being) so very disrespectful," said Harris-Stowe freshman Shaquell Humphries, 18. "There are old folks and little kids in that auditorium and they (the protesters) started cussing."
---
Mich(_*_)el Moore and Seth Rogen are displaying their own individual cowardice by back pedaling on their comments about snipers. It's true cowardice when you do that simply because you realize the personal backlash that's coming because patriots throughout America are going to boycott your future ventures.
---
Good grief...Obamageddon's spinmeisters are claiming raising capital gains taxes will help middle class America's ability to send ..afford to send.. their children to college. Huh? How does raising taxes on middle class families savings accounts help families with the cash to pay for college? If an investment has doubled, how can stealing 23-28% of that gain by taxing it more help families afford college for their children?
---
It's absolutely mind-boggling that Obamageddon can...no, actually does, send his spinmeisters out to lie about how healthy our economy and job markets are. There are less people working now than 6 years ago, and too many of these aren't working full time and benefit qualifying ones.
---
Online headline: "Couple fined for parking Ford F-150 in their own driveway" -- Oooops my bad.. though this might have happened in my neighborhood... but it was in NY.
---
9,000 people have been alerted for possible jury selection in the Colorado trial for the (_*_) who shot up the movie theater there. Good grief.. I guess since recreational pot is legal there (not federally, of course), finding 12 people not likely to smoke/consume any during the trial period is quite a challenge.
---
HuffPOOPOO headline: "This Was The Best Moment Of Obama's State Of The Union Address" -- OK.. I give up.. what was it?
---
L-E headline: "Obama to Congress: Time to help middle class" -- Will someone ask Obamageddon to define "middle class" .... the middle class , in my opinion, is not looking for redistributed income from already successful people.. The middle class just wants to have a shot at achieving the American dream on its own efforts. Middle class does not look for government agencies controlling their income nor their lives.
---
L-E headline: "Boko Haram leader claims massacre in Baga, threatens more" -- Hmmm Where's WaldoBama, Pric Holder, and Al-Sharlatan when their protest signs, "Black Lives Matter" would actually be pertinent?
---
I tell you what.. the school board wants to rush a so-far-less-than-openly-discussed SPLOST issue for a vote in less than two months, and Mayor TomLYINGson wants to go after the tax-freeze in the 2016 General Election. It doesn't look like neither of our authorized taxing bodies gives a damn about Columbus. Neither can stay in their budgets with the revenue stream, and neither has control of maintaining what we already have.
---
It is not up to the taxpayers to fund financial mismanagement of politicians. Arise, Columbus, and send the MCSD Board and Mayor TomLYINGson a message..
---
Jonathan Gruber extra-stupid L-E "soundoff": "Mr. Myers and Mr. Thomas seem to be determined to lead Muscogee schools into the same path that a whole board of their type led the Gwinnett County School System causing them to lose their accreditation." -- Hey.. there needs to be a moratorium on School Board members who are not Myers or Thomas from sending in "soundoff".
---
Jonathan Gruber extra-extra-stupid L-E "soundoff": " Hopefully Georgia will hurry up and approve marriage equality for gay people so that we can stopped being looked at as a redneck, Bible-thumping, backwoods state." -- Hmmm a real diplomat.. what happened to "killing your opponents with kindness"? Besides. the writer just labeled him/herself as more bigoted than those he/she's throwing stones at.
---
Hey... why is Carlton Gary still alive? The last appeal issue was proven impertinent, so why hasn't the death clock resumed?
---
Online story: A Russian intelligence warship docked in Havana on Tuesday, a day before the start of historic US-Cuba talks aimed at normalizing diplomatic relations. * There was nothing stealthy about the arrival of the Viktor Leonov CCB-175, which was moored to a pier in Old Havana where cruise ships often dock. But the visit was not officially announced by Cuban authorities. * The vessel previously docked in Havana in February and March last year, staying there for a few days. Those visits were also unannounced" -- Hmmm.. instant repeat: Good grief..Obamageddon literally said we need a new Cuban policy because it hasn't worked for 50 years.. Well...then let Cuba change!
---
L-E story: " Myers was the board’s campaign consultant in 2009, when voters approved the five-year SPLOST that expired Dec. 31. Now, he said, “I’m not anti-tax or anti-SPLOST. I am anti-tax and anti-SPLOST right now. … We need a new Spencer, I get that, but I want to have it after we have accountability.” -- Whoa, Frank Myers, you're beginning to back pedal like Judy Thomas has about keeping the 1st Floor of the Macon Rd Government Service Center available for only public parking! We do not need a NEW Spencer.. If the current one is so unsafe, spread the current students around to the other high schools.. there's plenty of room, and there are excessive school buses galore to transport them.. and at a great less cost that $56,000,000.00. In fact, if that $56,000,000.00 was aimed at improving the school facilities, it would be better spent!
---
I want to know why Kia Chambers voted "yes"... didn't she campaign on bringing responsibility back to the school board, and yet her first real vote was a "rubber stamp". 

Tuesday, January 20, 2015



Online headline: "Step toward a coup' in Yemen capital city * Yemen's U.S.-backed leadership came under serious threat Monday as government troops clashed with Shiite rebels." -- Hmmm "U.S.-backed leadership"? You have one "guess" as to which side the Yemen/Oman Gitmo releasees are on...
---
You know.. Al-Sharlatan never seems to pray for the events he attends, but he certainly knows how to prey on them.
---
Can you not see Al-Sharlatan at the mic during the Ferguson, MO riots saying, "Let us prey"?
---
Oscar spoiler alert: You can cancel your plans and get on with your life..Best Picture, Actor, and Director.."American Sniper"..Hollywood is on trial.

Sunday, our sermon was built around the parable of the employer giving three employees various amounts of "talents' to manage while he was away from his home/business . Two of the employees were industrious and doubled the money his employer entrusted them, and the employer rewarded them with promotions. The third employee literally buried the money his employer entrusted him with, and gave it back upon his return. The employer fired him for lack of effort. Sorta reminds me of an employer hiring 3 persons at starter ( minimum ) wage, then promoting the ones that work hard and firing the one who didn't.
---
Online headline: "Obama to Propose Capital Gains Tax Hikes to Benefit Middle Class" -- "benefit middle class"? How does Obamageddon, and mainstream media for that matter, figure that raising the taxes on the retirement savings of 85% of Americans will benefit them? We're talking about pension plans and traditional 401Ks as well as small businesses being passed along to the next generation.
---
Online headline: "America’s First Islamic Government: A Muslim Only City-State on American Soil" -- Excuse me, but how does this pass muster under our Constitution which prohibits discrimination based on race, sex, or religious beliefs? On the other hand, how does the Congressional Black Caucus pass muster as well? FTR...Islamberg, NY
---
Online story: "A U.S. Army recruiting office in Phoenix has taken down a recruiting sign that read, “On a mission for both God and country” after images of the sign, posted online, sparked controversy. * The Army Times reports Army Recruiting Command spokesman Brian Lepley said the sign was ordered to be taken down on Jan. 16 after a public outcry." -- Obamageddon may can order GOD out of posters, but he will never be able to order GOD out of the hearts of American soldiers.
---
Hmmmm, milk prices are down..of course we haven't seen any indication at any grocery store I shop. The mainstream perception is based on declines in China and Russia halting their import of American milk. Of course farmers and distributors are benefiting from a steep decline in gas costs which helps them with lower costs-to-market, but why aren't consumers benefiting from the natural reactions of supply&demand?
---
You know, if it didn't matter, as defenders of the New England Patriots contend, why did the Pats partially deflate the balls they used on offense? Maybe the Patriot's should hire Hillewinsky to represent them.. she could use the defense of "What difference does it make?".
---
Ted Cruz et al, keep blasting away that if the next Republican nominee for president is not a conservative in their eyes then the Democrats will win again. I disagree.. What cost the Republican Party in 2012 was the RNC demanding that the party focus on moral issues rather than Constitutional issues. Romney...and too a lesser degree, McCain, lost because of one-issue voters, especially women, who voted against the RNC stand on those issues. Obamageddon didn't win those votes, the Republican Party capitulated on those voters.
---
Online story: "After the state legislature's approval of a new Arizona law Thursday morning, students who want a high school diploma will need to pass a citizenship test or the hats won't fly at graduation. The law was speedily approved by both houses later in the afternoon and signed by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey in the evening of the same day." -- This should be required in every state! No student should be sent into the real world without knowing what the founding fathers passed along to them. Hmmm...watch SAT scores increase as well.
---
Online quote source: "“The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities.” - Benjamin E. Mays" -- Hmm another bit of wisdom that shall never grace the walls of a Democratic Party politician, or government entitlement office.
---
I think I've finally figured out what Obamageddon meant when he said his would be the most transparent administration in America's history... he meant that we would clearly see he wanted to eliminate Congress, the Courts, and the Constitution.
---
Online headline: "Japan PM vows to save two hostages threatened with beheading by ISIS" -- Now we're talking.. maybe Japan will revive the samurai warrior brigades and send them and ninjas and behead all the bastards in al Qaeda/ISIS!
---
As Obamageddon steps onto the Speaker's dais in the House tonight.. Boehner should have a sign drop down behind him saying, "Mission Botched".
---
Instead of "Hail to the Chief" being played as Obamageddon walks into the House chamber tonight, instead of playing "Hail to the Chief", perhaps a rendition of Nat King Cole's classic song cam be song by Republicans, "The Party's Over".
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Isn’t the purpose of school board members to support the school system and its students, not tear it down? -- Good grief.. this must have been sent by one of the school board members who isn't Frank Myers or John Thomas! The School Board is suppose to represent The Taxpayers and citizens of Columbus to make sure the School System does not lose focus.. Too bad the elected MCSD board has not done such a good job over the last 23 years.
---
A "get's it" L-E "soundoff": "Police officers don’t need special training in dealing with minorities. The minorities need training in respect for the law and the avoidance of potentially dangerous confrontations with police officers." -- Amen!!!!
Another "get's it" L-E "soundoff": " I was a member of the Selma march. I was a captain in the Alabama National Guard and liaison to Sheriff Jim Clark. The movie was nothing like the real Selma march." -- Hmmm.. another failing grade on Hollywood's report card..Didn't MLK say.. "the truth will set you free"? Well, half-truths are the work of the Devil...
---
Another Jonathan Gruber extra-stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Do our new board members even know why Spencer needs replacing? It is literally sinking. If a wall or ceiling should ever collapse on students, $56 million will seem like small change." -- Good grief.. I've been on the Spencer Campus sevearl times in the past two years attending sporting events of my daughter. I saw nothing that endanger her, or I would not have let her go there. Besides, if there was danger, the 6 returning MCSD Board members, ESPECIALLY the one for Spencer's district soul be sued for reckless endangerment for not previously shutting down the school and moving the less than 8 hundred students to the other high schools..there is no shortage of city-wide high school classroom or buses.
---
A "get's it" L-E "soundoff": "While thousands in Nigeria are being killed in a holocaust, the world news media can only focus on 12 death in Paris. Why is this?" -- In a few words.. because Al Sharlatan doesn't go there..
---
L-E headline "Europe’s police reconsider arms after Charlie Hebdo terror attack" -- "arms"? Cannot mainstream media/L-E even print the word "guns" when guns are the obvious way to protect citizens and law enforcement officers alike?
---
The Columbus L-E editorial always leaves pertinent info out when it boosts the presence of CSU in the downtown area..the L-E seems to ignore the fact that when CSU buys property for school use, the property becomes tax-exempt. Just the change of hands from the R.W. Page Corporation (McClatchy now) to CSU means that over $60,000.00 will be stripped annually from the tax revenues, yet that building will require even more costs to oversee police and fire protection services from the pockets of Columbus taxpayers. Oh, and don't forget the reduction of parking spaces for Columbusites trying to patronize downtown businesses..
