I just learned that today, June 7, is "National Cancer Survivors' Day".. Hey, a day for me...it'll be 10 years in September!

Online story: "DANNEMORA, N.Y. (AP) — Two convicted murderers used power tools to cut through steel pipes at a maximum-security prison near the Canadian border and escape through a manhole, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday." -- "maximum security"? uh.. maybe for liberals, but there's nothing "maximum" about security that allows murderers having power tools in their cells.
---
Online headline/story: "Thousands protest G7 summit in southern Germany * Bavarian Michael Wildmoser carried a sign with communist slogans. * "Too many young people are being exploited in low-paid jobs," he said. "This situation can't go on." -- Could it simply be that young people grew up so accustomed to "participation trophies" and "social promotions", even "non-score games" have not competitively prepared them for working and getting ahead in society?

Why are Democrats , "mainscream media", other liberals and black leaders only concerned about American slavery that ended ? Black slavery still exists in Africa today, female sex slavery still exists today, Asian slavery still exists today, but the liberal element in America is only interested in black slavery that ended 150 years ago..of course, none of the liberals are interested in the NEW Democratic Party entitlement slavery movement which began in 1965 and is growing bigger today.

Online headline: "California Now Offers 24 Hour Rides For Drunken Senators" -- Drunk from alcohol or political power?

Online story: "The Clinton Health Access Initiative took between $1 million and $10 million from Cameroon Baptist Convention (CBC) Health Services, a church which staunchly condemns homosexual practices. It’s leader asserted homosexuality comes “from the devil.” * . The CBC issued a statement in December 2013 which affirmed their position on human sexuality:" -- Recently we have seen of Hillewinsky's admiration for Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, who believed, "Colored people are like weeds and need to be exterminated", and now we learn she accepts money from homophobes... Liberals must be asking, "who is this person"? The rest of us already knew.

Ever hear the term "whitewashing"? It's a Hollywood term for using a white person in a role where the author originally had a minority character..Makeup was used to give a black, Asian or Native American appearance to a white actor/actress as it was believed the audiences would be stronger with a known white playing such characters. Now..why is "mainscream media" interested in racial accuracy, yet never has been concerned about Hollywood being historically accurate?
---
What is wrong with the PGA...the Haskins Award was the first award presented to the collegiate player of the year, yet watching the PGA coverage of the Memorial tournament, commentators conversationally mentioned that Patrick Rodgers of Stanford won the late coming 2014 Nicklaus Award..then threw in he also won the even later coming Hogan Award for the same recognition started by the Haskins Commission . ..but no mention that Rogers also won the Haskins. The PGA club professionals should really object for the PGA Tour to slight the one Award honoring the teaching club pro.

"Mainscream media" has delved 17 years into Marco Rubio and his wife's driving records.. The Senator has 4 speed related citations, and his bride has 13, so, according to the mainscream media, Rubio is not qualified to be the president. Hmmm.. funny isn't it, that "mainscream media"wasn't very interested at all in the driving record of Ted Kennedy, nor the fact that a young aid died...and a slow drowning death at that, as he "sped" off on foot from the area. RIP, Mary Jo Kopechne ...

L-E story on Columbus' "Beallwood" area: "According to the most recent U.S. Census statistics available, an estimated 15 percent of the residents living in that area between 2008 and 2012 owned their homes. Of the people living there during that period, 27 percent were white, 69 percent were black and 30 percent were Hispanic. * Twenty-two percent of the population was over the age of 65, 45 percent were of working age, 33 percent were under 18, and 6 percent were under 5 years old." -- Hmmm... first.. no area with an 85% rental population and no organized maintenance plan of the property owners, is ever going to keep itself patrolled of litter nor have uniformly maintained property.. but.. BUT. according to government figures, 126% of the residents were white, black, or Hispanic, and 106% of the residents were between under 5 and over 65. Hmmm .. I think we can see where Common CRAP math got its answers from...and we wonder why government programs don't seem to add up to common sense...
---
Jonathan Gruber double-extra stupid and smart-(_*_) LIV's L-E "soundoff": " If Republicans are more charitable than Democrats it’s because more of them are part of the one percent. We Democrats do the best we can with what we have." -- "We Democrats do the best we can with what we have"? If the 50 year old "War on Poverty" is the best Democrats can do with what OTHER people have, then pretty soon there want be anyone who's not a victim of poverty..... hmmm then what will the Democrats have to work with?
---
You know.. if Mayor TonLYINGson gets her way and reduces the Sheriff's Department budget so that more prisoners are released earlier to save money, it means that the Columbus Police Department will need more money to increase patrols to monitor the released criminals. Hey, Mayor, exactly how will we save money?

L-E policy statement: "Corrections: The Ledger-Enquirer strives to be accurate, fair and complete in its coverage and corrects significant errors of fact. Most corrections will appear in this space at the earliest opportunity. If you see an error in print or online, please email Stephanie Pedersen, senior editor for online, at spedersen@ledger-enquirer.com   or call 706-320-4485." -- Hmmm.. if the L-E "corrected its errors and omissions this feature would double the page total daily of the print edition.
---
I hate to be picky about a moment.. well, a lifetime, of grief for the families from Alabama who recently have lost family members in the Chattahoochee, but I see only the cost of search and recovery by Columbus' Emergency personnel.. will the bill be paid for by Columbus citizens or will it be sent to Phenix City officials?
----
So Mayor TomLYINGson thinks the answer to more tax revenue is eliminating the tax freeze on residential property.. what's needed is an overhaul of the Tax Assessor's Office.. this property, 2801 Double Churches Road: Double Churches Properties, LLC was recently sold to William Levin for $4,050,000.00. The value assigned previously by our Tax Assessor's Office was $450,00 (less than the cost of two "Queen TT Lounges"). How much property tax revenue went uncollected over many years as this visual eyesore unused for years?

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.

---
Online headline: "Colorado braces for another violent weather pounding * Severe storms have already created tornadoes, flattened homes, pounded Denver with hail and opened up a sink hole, but it's not over yet." -- Hmmm has anyone looked into the climate change caused by increase in marijuana smoke?

---
Online 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 56-year-old doll, Mattel has redesigned Barbie to have flexible ankles so she can wear either her iconic heels or contemporary flats" -- Hmmm.. that probably can mean only one thing.. Mattel has signed a footwear deal with Nike..

---
Have you seen those Hillewinsky "Join the Official Campaign" ads on the Internet? I tried, but I cannot join without making a donation.. I even types in "0" in the "Other Amount" option, and was rejected.. Yes.. access to Hillewinsky must be BOUGHT!

---
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: "THROWN OFF ROOFTOPS * ISIS executes gay men under guise of Sharia law" -- Hmmm.. about those communities in the US wanting Sharia Law... any Gay Pride Parades being canceled?

---
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"..

Online 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 go to the N(_*_)nct Pelosi "not reading before you vote" school? It's impossible to tyrust any Obamageddon administration spokesperson, but isn't asking directly for us to "TRUST ME" a liilte to blatant?

---
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 GutiĆ©rrez (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 they sell the shirts off our backs." -- Good grief.. who would have thunk 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?

Friday, June 5, 2015

Soapbox Moment: Yesterday, I was driving on the still-in-"progress"-Whittlesey-Road- project and noticed something that looked "just wrong".. The workers are finishing up a sidewalk that runs alongside the road. I thought... "wait a minute".. why is the sidewalk being finished before the road? On top of that, why is this crew, a crew that is 6 months late and a MILLION dollars over budget working on a sidewalk instead of finishing the road work? The I thought again.. why is a sidewalk part of the GA DOT contract?" Good grief.. our own City employees could put in a sidewalk once the road is finished, and knowing that the GA DOT builds Queen TT Lounge bathrooms for nearly $250,000.00 dollars, I wonder how much over reality does the GA DOT consider a sidewalk is worth.
---
The Governor of Maryland. a Republican who was in office foronly 4 months when Baltimore imploded is now being blamed for what happened..Good grief...Baltimore has been under Dem. Elijah Cummings..for..forever, was under current Den presidential candidate McCarthy for 8 years as Mayor & 8 years as Governor, and is currently under under Democrat control..how can any responsible journalist find Republican blame ?
---
Update on the St Elmo School classroom A/C problem... I reported about 2 months ago about a classroom A/C going out and the stream of promises made to fix it that were then broken.. I guess a squeaky wheel does get even the MCSD's attention.. instead of August finally being the "fix date" as previously reported, said A/C has been repaired as of yesterday...after 2 and one-half plus months... the kids really were first on the MCSD priority list.... NOT!
---
Good grief... after the first Ranger class with women entrants was finished and none of the women qualified to attain the "Ranger" status.. there has been talk.. or suggestions... to lower some of the standards... HUH? The Ranger, and Navy SEAL, standards are in place to celebrate EXCELLENCE, not DIVERSITY, and IMHO, I do not think that any of the women who made this historic effort would ever be pleased to get a "Ranger/SEAL" badge with an asterisk assigned to it.
---
Online headline: "Former US President George W Bush is now more popular than his successor Barack Obama, according to a CNN/ORC poll released today." -- Hmmmm... this is historic.. not that the people like Bush43 better than Obamageddon, but that CNN actually reported the truth about it.
---
Good grief... Pbamageddon.. the president who read about Benghazi in the newspaper after the fact now has time to "twitter".. and twitter with Brucey Jenner.. Obamageddon responded to Jenner's "tweet" about his "long struggle to be living my true self" with this: "It takes courage to share your story.".... Hmmm.. well, Obamageddon.. how about YOU being "courageous" and share YOUR STORY about your college years and travel papers. I guess Obamageddon is taking a page out of the Clinton playbook, and defining "courage" in his own manner.
---
From a fellow BCer... if you had to depend on "mainscream" media, you wouldn't know what's going on...this is a "must watch".. takes less than 5 minutes but will have you popping shirt buttons: https://www.youtube.com/embed/0dFIZX_RXuU

Online headline: "Chinese hackers suspected in govt security breach" -- Oooops, my bad.. thought Hillewinsky's e-mails had been recovered from one of her donors.

Online headline/story: "These Jeopardy Contestants Couldn’t Name the Attorney General * The $600 question even came with a visual clue—an image of America’s newly minted “top cop” was flashed across the screen as host Alex Trebek asked the three contestants to identify her." -- Hmmm.. probably looked like a trick answer.. Seeing "top cop" made the contestants hesitate because a "top cop" should be upholding current laws, not dictating laws of her own.
---
Online headline: "Prosecutor seeks to block release of Gray's autopsy * Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby plans to get a protective order that would keep the official report on Freddie Gray's death from the public." -- Good grief.. what part of the prosecution concealing evidence is a part of the American justice system? Especially after she has convicted the police officers via the "mainscream" media from day one.
---
Online story: "The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and group of automakers and industry suppliers are trying to engineer drunk driving out of existence. * The coalition on Thursday updated the development of the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) it’s been working on since 2008. The goal is to create a passive, factory installed system that can determine if the person sitting in the driver’s seat is intoxicated without requiring them to breathe into an interlock device, like the ones mandated for DUI offenders in several states. * The project has focused on two technologies that are currently being refined to zero in on the driver and isolate them from any passengers that have consumed alcohol. * The first collects air and directs it to an infrared sensor or series of sensors located throughout the cabin that can analyze the ratio of carbon dioxide an alcohol. By positioning them in strategic locations researchers believe it could be designed to accurately isolate the driver’s breath from that of any passengers in the car." -- "could be designed to accurately isolate the driver’s breath from that of any passengers in the car"? Gimmee a break.. even an alcohol free designated driver can't contain the exuberance of a car full of party goers from laughing and belching and infusing the whole car cabin with alcohol in the air.. Want to stop drunk driving? Irrevocably confiscate the car, whether it's theirss or someone else's whenever an arrest is made until the court hearing, and permanently upon conviction.

Promise.. well, gonna try, that this is the last Jenner comment I'm going to make..You know.. after all the years that Jenner was basically a 5th-wheel for the Kar-flashians, wonder how his wife like living in the publicity shadows of "him"?

Online headline: "Calif. lawmakers advance right-to-die legislation" -- Ooops, my bad.. thought for a second legislators were withdrawing the protected status of smelt and snail darters so dams could be opened up to bring water to the people..

L-E headline: "Log truck crashes on J.R. Allen Parkway, backs up traffic across town heading into Alabama" -- Oooooooh.. can't wait for the River Road/Bradley Park "roundabout" opens and all those logging trucks attempt all those 180 & 270 turns on an unbanked roadway..

Online headline: "Hillary Clinton faces new 'pay-for-play' allegations" -- God grief.. there're enough old "play for play allegations" stemming back to Arkansas that are enough to bring Hillewinsky down but mainstream media and Low-Info-Voters have already ignored...
---
Online story: " the Obama Administration has spent $150 billion on green initiatives between 2009 and 2014, yet the industry cannot survive without government giveaways, a Brookings Institution study found." -- Hmmm ... just a couple of days ago, there was a story about how Apple has "dodged $74 BILLION in taxes and that money was more than enough to provide everyone with "tuition-free college". Just think what could have been done in public schools with the wasted $150 BILLION Obamageddon has tossed away in the past 5 years..
---
Let's talk "fair" taxes.. Fair means everyone is treated the same.. so shouldn't everyone pay the same for police, fire, garbage and parks&rec services? Shouldn't everyone get the same percent for homestead exemptions ? There is nothing fair about Columbus tax structure other than knowing your rates on your home are not going to soar annually at the ineffective leadership of politicians.
---
One other thing.. why are property taxes assessed based on the arbitrary value the City sees in your home.. Private industry doesn't do that.. if it was "fair", then why doesn't McDonalds or Burger King price your hamburger based on what kind of car you're in at the drive-thru window?
---
Soapbox moment: Why is it that both the City and MCSD.. the two taxing authorized entities in Muscogee County wring their hands in agony every time a budget arises and they "have to raid the Fund Balance" to make ends meet? Voters should look hard at re-electing those official.. Their predecessors were able to put aside savings into the Fund Balance by efficiently utilizing the revenues available, now Mayor TomLYINGson, Council, Stuporintendent Lewis, Chairman Varner and the MCSB only think of the Fund Balance as a "piggy bank" to raid because, simply, it's there! When was the last time either the Mayor or the Chair of the MCSB announced they were going to build the Fund Balance back up to protect the future credit ratings of our community?
---
A Texas murderer who killed 4 men in 1982, was captured, then convicted in 1983 and sentenced to death will finally be given a lethal injection.. good grief.. taxpayers have had to house, clothe and feed this (_*_) for 33 years! Think of what that kind of money could have been better used on...

Online story: "Did you know that eating or even talking about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich could be considered racist? * That’s right. * Apparently, it’s because people in some cultures don’t eat sandwich bread. Verenice Gutierrez, principal of Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland explained in and interview with the Portland Tribune: * “Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year,” the Tribune said. * “What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” -- Good grief.. Has liberal ever considered that giving a foreign child a PB&J sandwich might be the most enlightening act possible to introduce a marvelous bit of American culture into someone's life? Have any liberals ever told the leaders in Somali or ant Hispanic land that PB&J sandwiches would be wonderful to feed their children with?
---
From above story: "the school started the new year with “intensive staff trainings, frequent staff meetings, classroom observations and other initiatives,” to help educators understand their own “white privilege,” in order to “change their teaching practices to boost minority students’ performance." -- "change their teaching practices to boost minority students’ performance"? Good grief.. what's happened is that white students have been devalued! The only "change in teaching practices" that needs to be initiated is one of teaching excellence for all students!

Online headline/story: "School Board Members Ate the Lunch Michelle O Wants For Kids. Their Reactions Said It All. * A Denver Public Schools board member and other education activists paid the Kepner Middle School cafeteria a visit after receiving a complaint about the quality of the lunches from a student. * Though the lunches complied with the National School Lunch Program guidelines championed by First Lady Michelle Obama, officials were not impressed, according to Chalkbeat:“It’s heartbreaking,” Padres health justice organizer Monica Acosta said. “This is the type of food [they’ve] been having all year long.” -- Hmmm.. maybe Denver and Portland should get together for a PB&J lunch with a glass of cold milk and discuss what kids want/need to be better students...

I saw something today..something I've never seen before and hope never again..The University of Southern California golf team had shirts with a number on them. That didn't impress/intimidate LSU, though. What's next for the USC golf team..cheerleaders?

After reading yesterday's NAACP self-serving poll on lower pay, I am wondering if the NCAA has ever looked into and pointed out anything positive that has occurred in black history?

Online headline: "Georgia’s manufacturing activity drops third month in a row in May" -- Hmmm.. this certainly doesn't bode well for the already overly ambitious 2015 MCSD SPLOST revenues...
---
Online story: "Georgia Power Co. executives testified Tuesday they don’t expect additional construction delays in the nuclear expansion at Plant Vogtle beyond the 18-month slip in the schedule announced in February." -- Huh? Yesterday it was reported that GA Power said it had no control over an outside contractor's pace.. how come GA Power say that now they do?

Online story: "Once again the conservative, pro-Constitution viewpoint is being reinforced as the right side of what should never have been an issue in the first place, the Second Amendment, by the list of insignificant “celebrities” who have joined forces in opposition to it. * June 2nd was selected as a day to wear orange to symbolize unity with the jumpsuited criminals that the second amendment protects us from, * The anti-gun rights Bloomberg group behind the demonstrations, “Everytown for Gun Safety” said: “The New York Mets became the first pro sports franchise to join the campaign and will today release a photo of the entire team wearing orange in support of efforts to reduce gun violence. The team will also release a photo of the Mets’ front office staff wearing orange in support of the campaign.” -- Well, it is sorta prophetic considering the lack of "big guns" has the Mets in its line-up. The Mets are ranked 24th of 32 MLB teams in batting statistics..and below average in Home Run production...

Online story: "Barack Obama told a group of Asian youths, "Democracy is hard, I think many of the things that are said about me are terribly unfair" -- First.. the USA is not a Democracy.. it's a Limited Republic form of government intentionally selected by our founding fathers to keep individual presidents from becoming despots as Obamageddon is trying to do.. Now, I do agree with him on one thing.. that many things are said about him are unfair.. to me, it's unfair to describe him as patriotic, concerned for the future, and being a honest man..

L-E headline: "STOCKING STRANGLINGS * GARY'S DEFENSE GETS FILING EXTENSION" -- Good grief... how many "extensions" did G(_*_)ry grant for the women he raped and killed?

A "get's it" L-E "soundoff": "Our mayor needs to forget about thawing the tax freeze and spend her time, attention and effort in balancing the budget. And if they can’t do that, they need to resign." -- Amen...unfortunately,, since it's obvious that they do not know how to run a business profitably, all would have a tough time getting another private sector job.
---
Jonathan Gruber extra stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " Darr and Countryman overspend their budget every year then cite the city’s shrinking reserve as if they are not a direct cause. Send these losers packing." -- The culprit in this matter is the federal and state government unfunded mandates.. something that Darr (not so sure about Countryman) has no control of, and Council is obligated to meet the financial needs of theses "unfunded mandates".
---
Another Jonathan Gruber extra stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": "The legal cannabis market grew 74% in 2014 and is expected to grow 34% in 2015. Cannabis can be regulated and kept away from children. Legalizing cannabis would improve our world in so many ways." -- Why is it that it's so easy to spot liberals,,, could it be that their "facts" are not substantiated or is it simply liberals just KNOW so many things that aren't right?

Oh... those Cuban negotiations... how's it going on extradition papers for cop killer ASSata Shakur?

You know.. our founding fathers wanted one day for national elections to be voted on.. people then traveled by horse, carriages, or walked.. Today, liberals feel one day, despite individual cars, bicycles, public transportation as well as walking (or even horseback) is not fair.

L-E story:"Monday’s called meeting of the Muscogee County School Board showed another example of the fractured relationship between District 8 representative Frank Myers, who joined the board five months ago, and superintendent David Lewis, who was hired from Polk County, Fla., two years ago:
Myers left early from the board’s Feb. 28 retreat to campaign against the administration’s request to renew the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax.
Myers: “I cut out after an hour.”
Lewis: “Actually, 30 minutes.”
Myers: “I’m sorry. Did somebody say something?”
Lewis: “No.”
Myers: “I asked for one simple document, and Miss (Pat) Hugley Green (the board’s vice chairwoman and District 1 representative) made sure that I knew I already had that document in my materials, and I said I didn’t know where it is because I hadn’t been a board member for very long. … I was assured that day I would get that document. It took six more requests and 41 days before I got that document. So when I hear people up here talking about, ‘Well, we just can’t wait to give you the document and give you all the information you need as a board,’ that is baloney. … When we don’t have the information as your board members, guess what, the people we represent, they might as well live in China, because they’re not getting represented. It’s the superintendent’s job to carry out the policy that the board puts together, and that ain’t how this district is working.”
District 4 representative Naomi Buckner: “I think the superintendent should address you sometimes, because you rant on and on about what he’s not doing and what he told you 41 days ago and he said this. I think Dr. Lewis should address the comments that you make.”
Myers: “Our school system is broken, and I’m trying to help fix it, and, Naomi, if what I have to say up here hurts somebody’s feelings or whatever, I’m sorry, but I’m going to tell the truth as long as I’m a board member.”
Buckner: “When you say things like you requested something 41 days ago and nobody gave it to you, I think that should be addressed, because surely you should get information that you requested and nobody should keep it from you 41 days. So I think the superintendent needs to address those things.”
Lewis: “Let me be real clear. I am directed by the board, not by individuals on the board. I will certainly work to and provide information to the ability of the staff and the timeliness of the staff and so on, but there are things we are trying to do to operate the district and function as a district and there are things that take priority. That said, I will always respond to the direction of the board, and the board is five of nine. That is the direction. And I will certainly be glad to respond to individuals and try to work through issues, but, as far as responding, there is a professional way and an unprofessional way to do that.”
Myers: “So what the superintendent just said is that, unless I get five people to agree with me that I’m entitled to some information, I can go jump in a lake.”
Lewis “No, sir, that’s not what I said.”
Myers: “You said you respond to the board. I’ve got news for you. We may end up having to test this, because I am not going to sit here for 3½ more years and put up with what I absolutely and completely told the truth about. … Folks, a member of the public could have gotten the information I asked for in three days under the Open Records Act, and I had to wait 41. What is wrong with that picture?”" --

If the dialect between MCSD Board member Frank Myers and Superintendent David Lewis was only half-true, then there is a bigger problem than the public knows about, and the L-E has failed to inform the public all along. The L-E should apologize to Myers, Thomas and the citizens of Columbus before printing another edition.

Sepp Blatter resigned. Good grief.. FIFA is already better off being able to have a new leader with a name that won't sound like the wrong guess to a "Jeopardy" answer. Next move would be to remove all the directors who voted to keep him in charge last week.
---
Random thought: "You know.. why does the MCSD bring in someone who has never been an actual Superintendent of a School system? Surely, there are other choices than deputy or assistant Superintendents who have actually had their hands on the throttle, the whistle, and the brakes. Wannabees should not be brought in to a system as big as ours...On another note.. why does the MCSD not have a program of development that has a hierarchy system of personnel inline when a Superintendent retires/resigns or gets fired?
---
Online story: "Apple dodged $74 billion in taxes over a four year period, according to a US Senate investigation. That's enough to cover the $60 billion it costs to provide tuition-free college to everyone in the country." -- Excuse me, but... Why does anyone think our colleges and universities are entitled to Apple's profits? People will benefit more from Apple putting it to use than from paying liberals' salaries and issuing students useless diplomas. On the other hand..even if you confiscated Apple's billions, at the end of 4 years, college students would still be looking at $1.3 TRILLION in loan debt, still be looking for any job they could find, and Apple wouldn't be hiring.
---
You know.. both Council and the MCSD are under the "60 Day Fund Balance" levels that determine the cost of bonds issued.. how can either entity say they have the future of Columbus in mind?

L-E headline/story: "Westville archives move here ahead of village * A sign erected on the planned site for the village on South Lumpkin Road reads: “Future Home of Historic Westville, Coming in 2015.” * One of the conditions in the city’s Memorandum of Agreement with Westville, which was signed on Aug. 13, 2013, reads: “Westville will have 24 months after the date of this document to begin normal operations of the Living History Museum. Normal operations shall mean that a substantial portion of the Living History Museum will be open to the public.” * It further states that any extension on the MOA would have to be approved by council . Mayor Teresa Tomlinson said the city has not been contacted about any extension of the MOA." -- "the city has not been contacted about any extension of the MOA"? Hmmmm do we feel a little icy response from Mayor TomLYINGson? Does this further upset her budget fiasco?
---
Jonathan Gruber stupid LIV's L-E "soundoff": " It seems many who choose a career in law enforcement immediately contract “Barney Fife” disease. This is an obsession of power, authority and control over others." -- Hmmm.. what this sounds like is the response of a long time criminal who currently has no respect for the law, and doesn't plan to nurture any in the future.
---
Random thought: After the Republican primaries have determined a candidate that appeals to a wide spectrum of conservative voters based on what they have heard how the candidate feels/thinks about the issues, why does the Republican strategy team then try to mold the candidate into a preconceived "party line"? It seems a Republican who's selected has a better message than the status quo agenda of party policy wonks. Romney is a great example of this.

The fact that Obamageddon signed the bill stripping the Patriot Act of tracking phone calls of terrorists just confirms it was his decision to not demand that 10,000 American soldiers stay in Iraq for monitoring support.

L-E story: "More than 10 million people have signed up for subsidized private health insurance this year under President Barack Obama’s law, the administration reported Tuesday. The positive numbers are finally putting the nation within reach of coverage for all, but the gains may not last." -- Excuse me, but under any circumstances, how can saying that 10,000,000 subsidized policy holders and 37,000,000 still without insurance is any better than the situation before OObamaCRAP started? We still have 47,000,000 on taxpayer subsidies.

L-E headline: "pratt & whitney spending $3.2M on area plant * Manufacturer adding 13,200 square feet of space, will ‘not speculate’ on use" -- Hmmm.. $3.2 Million to add 13,200 square feet of secure high tech space..that's $242.00 a square foot.. Hmmm. on the other hand, the MCSD wants to build sweat barns to house wrestling and weight activities and the MCSD says it will cost $312 a square foot to do this.. obviously, we have no rocket scientists in the MCSD administrative level..

L-E story: "ATLANTA — Southern Co. has an emerging message when discussing its over-budget nuclear plant in Georgia: It’s not our fault. * The cost of building two nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle has grown since the project was first approved years ago. Early on, company officials assured regulators the project was on-time and on-budget. On Tuesday, they pointed the finger at their designer and builder, Toshiba Corp.’s Westinghouse Electric Co. and Chicago Bridge & Iron Inc. * “The company does not direct the contractor how to build the plant,” said David McKinney, a Southern Co. vice president tasked with overseeing Vogtle development, during a public hearing. “That’s a risk that the contractor took when they signed up.”" -- Hmmm"that's a risk the contractor took when they signed up"? Hey, how come we taxpayers are having to give the contractor of the Whittlesey Road expansion and extra 6 months and an extra $1.1 Million dollars because of unforeseen issues"? In fact, has there ever been a GA DOT contract that hasn't given the contractor more time and money that what the contractor bid?

L-E headline/story: "Study: Minorities in retail get paid less, promoted less * The study, done by the NAACP and Demos" -- Good grief.. this is about as accurate and reliable as asking foxes to design a hen house security system..

You know..after 8 or 9 years without them, and only 30-40% of employees getting somewhat of a raise, and looking back at last years nearly 10% raise given to the Taj Mahal/administrative staff.. why are the other 60-70% of MCSD employees not getting any sort of raise sticking around?

Items from L-E story on school board meeting:
1 - "Frank Myers and John Thomas have gained support in their crusade for more accountability and transparency on the Muscogee County School Board, but they still lack the votes to enact the change they seek. * The struggle was on display during the board’s called meeting Monday night, when Mark Cantrell joined the two newcomers as the opposition in four 5-3 votes" -- Let's hope Mark Cantrell continues to keep the community's future in focus.
2 - "Shannon Smallman of District 7 was absent." -- You know..knowing the importance of this and the next two meetings, unless a Board member was in a fatal accident on his/her way to the meeting. no absences should be tolerated. Other plans should be scheduled for other dates.
3 - "(Frank) Myers referred to the 13 school districts in Muscogee County’s comparison group. “We’re just really lucky that Bibb County and Richmond County exist, otherwise we would be the — I don’t know a nice way to put it — the armpit of education in second-tier Georgia cities. … We have the third-highest millage rate in the state of Georgia, yet nine of those 13 school systems have zero perpetually failing schools and we have 10. So money’s not the issue. "-- neither are "shiny new "things"... I've just gotten unconfirmed tibdits (from a usually reliable source) of info concerning the new Dorothy Height school that replaced to other elementary schools.. seems enrolment numbers is 40% higher than was planned for, but it also seems that there is "bad blood" between the outside student influences in the two neighborhoods.
4 - "(John) Thomas noted the state constitution limits school districts to a property tax rate of 20 mills, unless they are granted an exception. Muscogee County has one because it operates the Columbus Museum and the county’s public libraries. He added that all of those extra 3.37 mills don’t go to the museum and the libraries, “so we have an advantage over so many other school districts in this state.” -- Well I'll be.. this is the first time I've seen a MCSB member publicly remind the MCSD (and the L-E to actually cite this) that we are being taxed extra for systems that are capable of running on their own in spite of the numerous times I have brought this to the Boards attention. It also taints the $3,5 Million "support money" for the Museums illegal HVAC maintenance project in the SPLOST that was intended to keep Museum Board members inline.
5 - " Following more than one hour of discussion, Lewis said his administration will try to comply with board members’ requests for more detail about the budget." -- "try"? It looks like we have gotten a Superintendent straight out of the Nancy Pelosi "we have to pass it it before we read it" school of politics. May Lewis's rise to the top be short lived as Pelosi's.
---
L-E story: "Secretary of State John Kerry headed home Monday to Boston from Geneva, Switzerland , for surgery on his broken leg, as U.S. officials insisted that his injury would not hinder his participation in nuclear negotiations with Iran." -- Hmmm.. not only has Kerry "dissed the Swiss and French" and their medical systems, how cannot the pictures of Muppet Man in spandex and a 'groovy" bike helmet not hinder nuclear talks with Iran? I mean.. how can the Iranians look at Kerry again without laughing?
---
L-E headline: "MAYOR PLANS FORUMS ON TAX FREEZE PLAN" -- Good grief.. what Mayor TomLYINGson is proposing now is basically a light version of what she originally sought and an attempt to get something on the books that says she accomplished something on one of her goals. Regardless of what she wants, it will not benefit Columbus citizens long term. There is already a "tax thaw" in existence.. the value and tax basis starts anew when a home is sold/bought.. removing such an incentive to protect new buyers will lower the selling value for current homeowners, and encourage new buyers to move to Harris County where taxes are considerably.
---

L-E headline: "1896 lynchings remembered at 11th Street and Broadway" -- Is the L-E even interested in "moving on"? Reporting on a century old history of wrongs whether they are racial or otherwise does no good for the community... unless.. unless the L-E highlights the positives changes that have occurred since.. just another example of yellow journalism ....

"fell thousands of feet:? Thousands indicate more than 1999 feet.. so each floor of the 28 would have to be nearly 72 foot high.

HuffPOOPOO story: "Two Canadian banks (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and TD Bank) tightly connected to promoting the controversial Keystone XL pipeline in the United States either fully or partially paid for eight speeches made by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the period not long before she announced her campaign for president. Those speeches put more than $1.6 million in the Democratic candidate's pocket. * Both banks have financial ties to TransCanada, the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline, and have advocated for a massive increase in pipeline capacity, including construction of Keystone. Further, Gordon Giffin, a CIBC board member and onetime U.S. ambassador to Canada, is a former lobbyist for TransCanada and was a contributions bundler for Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign." -- Hey.. this is progress.. In the past.. the HuffPOOPOO would be looking for a way tospin this in Hillewinsky's favor..

From the"just gotta mention this" department: "Box office: 'San Andreas' eyes seismic $48M debut; 'Aloha' bombing" -- While my bride and I will pass on "San Andreas" as we are not fans of such tragedies, it looks like America will reward it.

Online headline/story: "Tyler Perry says he's 'not the person to ask about racism' in Hollywood * his career hurdles likewise have more to do with his unconventionality than his race. * "I've never had to go through things others have to get things done." -- Hmm.. could it be as simple as Tyler Perry's approach of selling his talents rather than seeking a guilt trip to get his foot in the door?

After Bush43's commencement speech at SMU where he complemented the honor grad, but gave hope to the "C" students by saying they too have a shot at being "president", and sine Obamageddon iswell into his second term.. don't you feel that he could humanize himself and offer "HOPE".. perhaps even "CHANGE" to minority students by voluntarily releasing his college records?

L-E story: "Vertical construction on the Walmart Supercenter off Victory Drive in south Columbus is about to get underway. * Chattanooga, Tenn.-based DBS Corp. has pulled two city building permits, valued at a combined $3.9 million, on the project that has an official address of 1544 Benning Drive. * Square footage for that piece of the development is 21,000 square feet and 4,616 square feet, which is the additional non-Walmart retail space and gas station that is planned for the property that once was home to Baker High School." -- Hmmm $3.9 Million for 25,616 square feet of space.. that's about $152.00 a square foot.. Maybe the MCSD should hire "DBS" to build the new wresting/weight room buildings.. $152.00 a square feet is less than HALF ($312.00 a sq ft) of what the MCSD/MCSB wants to spend on shell metal buildings....

Jonathan Gruber LIV's L-E "soundoff": "If someone bought the Bradley Theater on Broadway and played family movies it would be fantastic. Car-mike?" -- You know this is from a liberal.. it's a suggestion for how other people should spend their money on his/her idea.. Of course.. the liberal is further outed by the fact that he/she doesn't know that Carmike has bought the old Rialto Theater sorta next door, and is working on a plan.

L-E story: " The $25 million project to build and shape the Chattahoochee River whitewater course in Columbus has earned its general contractor, Batson-Cook, multiple awards as the recreational attraction enters its third year of operation. * West Point, Ga.-based Batson-Cook Construction recently received the 2014 Associated General Contractors Build Georgia Award, also taking home first place in the “Best Sustainable Building Practices” division." -- "Best Sustainable Building Practices" award? Hmmmm.. does that mean that Batson-Cook paid for the repairs to the wave-maker? How about the $1.9 million in riverbank repairs following all the dam blasts and river rerouting? Just wondering....
