Online headline: "Giant data hack may expose major national secrets" --
Oooops my bad.. thought the depth of Hillewinsky's personal server was
involved.. you know, while Hillewinsky IS a "hack", I'm not so sure I'd consider
her a "giant" one...

From the "look what I stumbled across"
department -- In 1962, there were 2.8 uniformed military personnel.. by
Johnson's last year the number escalated to 3.5 MILLION.. there were 2.2 MILLION
when Nixon resigned, and 2.1 MILLION when Carter was ousted.. it was pretty much
"static" during the Reagan/Bush41 years, but by the time Clinton left office
just prior to 9-11-01, we had only 1.4 MILLION men and women in uniform...
Bush43 regrouped and high tech weaponry flourished, and we here back to 1.6
MILLION highly trained soldiers...Obamageddon has brought the number back down
to 1.5 MILLION while.. at the same time, has increased the National Debt by 80%
(from $10 Trillion to $18 Trillion) in his 6 years.. That $8 TRILLIONn increase
is NOT because of military expenses, no matter how many liars he sends out as
messengers.

Online headline: "Social Security overpaid benefits by
nearly $17 billion * A report Friday found the massive, ailing program made
payments to people over the past decade who were dead, in prison or didn't
qualify." -- Hey, Algore.. "lockbox" my ass! Social Security is not a Government
funded program.. the revenues are taken from individuals, and matched by their
employers. The only non-participants other than the contributors should be the
small number of government employees needed to administer the funds and process
the rightful distribution to the earners.

headline/story: "Plumber trying to pay for broken truck realizes he won lotto *
If he hadn't been desperate to fix his truck, one Staten Island plumber might
not have checked the lottery tickets he'd kept behind a pipe in his basement.
One was weeks old –– and worth $136 million. * He split 70/30 with his son
(total collected after taxes was $54 MILLION) * His ticket cost all of $2. A
roughly 1.9 billion percent return on investment doesn't seem so bad." -- Good
grief "mainscream media" is calling a lottery ticket an "investment".. and "1.9
BILLION percent ROI (on his $38 MILLION share)"? How does "mainscream media"
figure a $19 Milliom-to-$1 ration is a 1.9 BILLION dollar return of
"investment"? ...Common CRAP math?

Online headline: "Feds Unveil
Technology to Create ‘World Without Drunk Driving’" -- Good grief.. technology
that will drive up the cost of new cars, which can be circumvented by a drunks
"child", or intervened with by the belch of a drunken passenger while the
vehicle is running in high traffic on a busy highway doesn't sound much like a
"cure" for drunk driving. Tougher sentencing.. including confiscation of
vehicles will do more to stop drunk driving than legislating technology
issues.

Online story: "According to the most recent income report
from the United States Census Bureau, 48 million Americans still live below the
poverty line. Some states now hope to help combat this problem by pushing to
increase minimum wage, but even that change won't solve all the persisting
problems. In order to see how poverty in America has changed over time,
genealogy data site MooseRoots crunched the numbers to find the most
impoverished counties from 1980 to 2010." -- "Some states now hope to help
combat this problem by pushing to increase minimum wage, but even that change
won't solve all the persisting problems"-- First, changing the minimum wage
won't solve ANY of the problems, but how much money could have been saved from
paying "MooseRoots" for data that could simply be collected by listing the
polling precincts with the highest turnout percentage of Democrats
voting?

Online story: "After more than five decades, Barbie can
ditch her high heels in favor of flats.
In an attempt to modernize the

can mean only one thing.. Mattel has signed a footwear deal with
Nike..

Have you seen those Hillewinsky "Join the Official

Online story: "Admit
it, we've all cheated on an exam or a quiz at least once in our lives. Maybe you
wrote notes on your hand or "dropped your pencil" to catch a glimpse of your
neighbors test. Most of us got away with it, but good luck if you're a student
in China." -- "Admit it, we've ALL cheated on an exam or quiz at least once in
our lives"? This just nails down the "mainscream media's" need to feel
exonerated by diminishing moral values. Just substituting "most" for "all" would
make this a reasonable assumption/claim, but that wouldn't eliminate the guilt
cheaters feel.

Online headline: "Fan hit by broken bat at Fenway Park has
life-threatening injuries, police say" -- For the past 25 years, I have been
commenting/campaigning that MLB has vacated its protected stance of "Not being
responsible for objects thrown/batted into the stands". Until then wooden bats
had to be a minimum of 1.25 inches at the smallest part. The introduction/use of
metal and composite bats in amateur baseball made MLB to reduce the wood bat
dimensions to accommodate the the high school/college kids who could not create
the same bathead speed using the thicker handles. Yes, MLB has created an issue
of negligence by allowing an unsafe tolerance of the strength of narrow handled
wood bats, and negligence is not protected no matter what warnings are posted in
the stadiums.

Online story: "Pat Sajak, long-time host of the
beloved game show “Wheel of Fortune,” has gotten himself into some hot water yet
again for a comment he made on his Twitter account about the state of American
culture under President Barack Obama. * Sajak tweeted, "“As we lose our common
culture, one odd side effect: it’s harder to find puzzles on Wheel that are fair
to all,” Sajak tweeted out on June 1." -- Hmmm.. Sajak is right.. allowing.. no
forcing all to accept other cultural pockets being able to segregate, maintain
their own language/laws does diminish the American culture learning curve for
legal and illegal aliens. thus making general questions about the majority of
Americans seem "unfair" to minorities. On the other hand, as Sajak is being
emasculated for speaking his mind, Obamageddon, this country's "biggest twit",
can tweet that he thinks perversion is "courage"..

headline/story: "HARVARD, SYRACUSE RESEARCHERS CAUGHT LYING TO BOOST OBAMA
CLIMATE RULES * E-mails obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency show
that Harvard University, Syracuse University and two of their researchers appear
to have falsely claimed a study supporting EPA’s upcoming global warming rules
was conducted “independent(ly)” of the agency. * But a closer look at these
claims of independence raises serious doubts * An online search of EPA’s web
site revealed that Syracuse’s Driscoll has previously involved as a principal
investigator in studies that received over $3.6 million in research grants from
EPA. Co-author Dallas Burtraw, a researcher at the think tank Resources for the
Future, had been involved in previous EPA grants totaling almost $2 million.
Harvard co-author Jonathan I. Levy had been involved in over $9.5 million worth
of grants. Co-author Joel Schwartz, also of Harvard, had been previously
involved in over $31 million worth of grants from EPA." -- How can any
survey/poll/study be independent when any entity, government or private, has
funded the research? This is rather obvious as is the one on "high speed rail"
feasibility Mayor TomLYINGson paid $350K for.. including $300K from
interested-in-getting-such people and $50K of Columbus citizens tax
dollars...

Separate but pertinent to the above story - Online
headline: "EPA Chief: Just Trust Us On Climate Science" -- Did Gina McC(_*_)rthy

Online story: "On
Thursday, Hillary Clinton waded into the populist fight against voter ID laws
and other state moves to prevent the all-too-common voter fraud that has plagued
elections for decades by calling for automatic voter registration at 18 years of
age. She also called to give convicted criminals back their voting privileges."
-- Good grief.. even the draft and food stamps require people to actually go to
an office and produce info to a government official to register, and our
founding fathers recognized that convicted felons are not going to support laws
that protect law abiding citizens.

Online story: "Wednesday on the
House floor, Rep. Luis GutiƩrrez (D-IL) criticized Texas for its conspiracy
theories and then said God must understand Spanish because he named his son
Jesus." -- Good grief.. God named His son Immanuel, which means, 'God with us.'"
This does not mean, however, that the Messiah’s name would actually be Immanuel,
and various languages have translated that into names its speakers could
understand. Perhaps Gutierrez should actually read the Bible before commenting
on it.

American Family Life Insurance CO (NOTE: this is NOT Aflac)
is a running an ad about following dreams. One woman talks about not being alone
SD she navigates the world solo in a boat. She mentions the support of various
mentors and family being with her, but totally ignores mentioning the Lord being
with her. Boycott American Family ( NOT Aflac) Life Insurance!

I
am curious as to why the school systems of Phenix City or Columbus are
partnering with Whitewater Rafting programs. Waterwater neither pay nor collects
taxes nor fees that support the two school systems, and what fees it does pay to
the local governments is far less than what we pay in taxes to other services in
the B-City area. In fact.. since the use of Whitewater equipment intiates a
"fee" instead of a "tax" even the school systems are not exempt from using tax
generated revenues to pay such fees.

Jonathan Gruber triple-double extra stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " The
fastest way to end the “open carry” law in Atlanta’s airport is for a group of
culturally attired Middle Eastern Muslims to saunter about conspicuously
carrying assault rifles … maybe waiting for relatives from Detroit." -- You
know.. to define liberals as "stupid" somewhat redundant.. but we have to
constantly search to define the depth of stupidity of liberals.. and this is
close.. I hope.. First, "open carry" relates to handguns, and strict background
checks to be licensed to do so, and as far as rifles go, I think American
citizenship is required as any alien, not serving in our military, to buy/carry
a rifle or other long guns. Aliens not serving in our military and carrying long
guns.. hand guns for that matter, are considered spies or enemy troops.

Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Republicans are auctioneers
auctioning off middle-class America to the highest corporate bidder, talking
fast with a lot of religion, race, abortion and gun jargon to bamboozle us as

Hillewinsky is actually a Republican?

L-E's "Thought for Today": “As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of
human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” — Carl Jung
(1875-1961)." -- Jung says we must shine the light of truth into the darkness..
Democrats try to blow out the candles.. Guess that means the Democrats feel
their constituents are not human.....and deserve the existence Democrats
provide.

From the L-E's "Today in history" feature: " In 1968, Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy died at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, a day after he was shot
by Sirhan Bishara Sirhan." -- Sirhan Bishara Sirhan? As my witness, for the past
47 years, I thought the assassin only had the redundant moniker of "Sirhan
Sirhan"...

Also from the L-E's "Today in history" feature: "In 1978, California voters
overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, a primary ballot initiative calling for
major cuts in property taxes." -- Hmmm.. I guess we'll have to wait until
tomorrow to see if the Governor filed an injunction to overturn the voters the
very next day.

L-E commentary headline by Associate professor of political science at
Lagrange College John A. Tures: "Our politicians’ chrononlogy impairment" -- You
know..it's somewhat.. no downright blatant that Tures concentrates on
Republicans.. Where was Tures' observations of inappropriate chronolgy when
Obamagedden defended his Gitmo prisoner swap for Bergd(_*_)hl because even
Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt swapped prisoners near the ends of the war in
their terms in office. The truth is, George Washington was not the president
when the Revolutionary War ended, Lincoln was killed days after the signing of
the Civil War Peace Treaty, and Roosevelt died in office more than a year before
the end of WWII. NONE of the 3 swapped end-of-war prisoners with any
country!

L-E story: "District 8 representative Frank Myers has been calling for more
public accountability and transparency since he joined the Muscogee County
School Board five months ago. Friday, he made one proposal and one complaint to
help reach those goals. * Myers released the text of his proposed revisions to
the board’s policy regulating public participation at meetings. He expects his
proposal to be on the agenda for Monday’s 5 p.m. work session. * “This proposal
will ensure that every interested person will have an opportunity to fairly and
fully exercise their Constitutional right to free speech by giving citizens a
voice at the public meetings of the Muscogee County School Board," -- Excuse me,
but why should a first time member have to inject respect for the publics'
concerns? This should have always been the policy.. and should always be the
policy.
---
Also from the above story: "Myers also emailed superintendent David Lewis a
complaint regarding still not receiving promised detail about the
administration’s proposed fiscal year 2016 budget. The board received a summary
of the spending plan but not a line-item budget, which was requested by the
board’s two other newly elected members: John Thomas of District 2 and Kia
Chambers, the nine-member board’s lone county-wide representative. They received
200-plus pages of “raw input data” but not a line-item budget, Thomas said
during Monday’s called meeting." -- "but not a line-item budget"? Well, what can
we expect when the MCSB brings in an assistant/deputy Superintendent who's
probably never made a finished budget.. This is no different from his SPLOST
proposals of generalities rather than research information on project
costs.

Have you noticed something.. seemingly, the L-E assigned all stories
connected with the school system to be reported by Mark Price,, is that because
the MCSD notifies the L-E when it want's a friendly reporter
present?
