Online story: "Dignitaries from three nations sniffed marijuana, walked through greenhouses full of tagged marijuana plants and learned about video pot surveillance on a three-day Weed 101 tour in Colorado, which has a regulated marijuana market and is planning to expand sales to all adults in a few weeks. * More than two dozen visiting officials from Canada, Mexico and Uruguay made the trip this week * Colorado and Washington state have authorized pot possession for all adults over 21." -- And Judas 00-bama and Pric Holder are proud of this? The growth, sale and transport of marijuana is illegal in Mexico, Canada, and Uraguay, but dealers are lining up to get their 'stuff' to America... and we know how successful our police have been at keeping alcohol out of the hands of our teens.
---
You know, how are other countries' dealers going to get their 'stuff' into Colorado and Washington? It will have to pass through customs, and which of our Customs offices is authorized to accept marijuana?
---
Online story: " As the Obama administration scrambles to fix a balky healthcare website that has frustrated millions of Americans, (Service Employees International Union/SEIU)one of the nation's largest unions is trying to persuade hundreds of thousands of uninsured people to begin signing up for health coverage by phone and on paper." -- What irony... a union for the service industry is promoting last Century's 'service'. Is this just union support of the AT&T landline workers union and the snail-mail unipn carriers?
---
That umpire muff in the first inning... the second base umpire would have to take "the 5th" if questioned by a Congressional committee. No way he can claim what he said happened that got reversed.
---
HuffPost headline/story: "Ted Cruz Gets His Health Insurance Through Goldman Sachs, His Wife Confirms * The wife of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) confirmed in an interview with The New York Times what the tea party star's opponents have insinuated gleefully for weeks: The most vocal opponent of Obamacare enjoys a high-priced health plan through investment bank Goldman Sachs. * Ted is on my health care plan," Heidi Nelson Cruz, who has worked in the firm's management division for eight years" -- Doh! The HuffPost and Obamarat Dick Durbin (Illinois) are trying to "cruz-ify" an American, an elected Senator for not using the Congressional insurance which would cost American taxpayers. Does the mainstream media march to Nancy Pelosi's drum.... they have to print it before they can read what they are saying?
---
For consistency, ObamaCare will now be referred to as 00-bamaCare (prononced "Double O - bamaCare) as medical panels are "licensed to kill".
---
When we discussed what a 'bomb' Judas 00-bama and 00-bamaCare are, we didn't fully appreciate that he's a 'suicide bomber'.
---
Heads up from a fellow BCer - Online story: "Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida must be a real history buff. * It's well-known, at least to people who know their history, that the Democratic Party after the Civil War formed the Ku Klux Klan to keep black Americans down after the Republican President Lincoln and the Congress abolished slavery. * In an email sent to his supporters, Grayson, who has a reputation of hate * mongering and slandering conservatives, included a color picture of a burning cross * used as the "T" in the words "Tea Party." The picture included the caption "now you know where the T comes from.
---
The local NAACP head, Nate Sanderson, condemned Dr Ben Carson for stating that "Obamacare is the worst thing to happen to America since slavery". Personally, I disagree with Dr Carson... 00-bamaCare is the second worse thing to happen... it pales to LBJ's "Great Society" by trillions of dollars, but what I do not understand is why the NAACP is so racist it cannot admit that "white" is a color, and the NAACP should be more accepting of whites. In fact, the NAACP's 'mission' should be to unite all colors of people in the effort to make meaningful change, and the most meaningful change would be for the NAACP to stop being so racist.
---
Online story: "President Obama's staff has unmasked and fired a national security official who tweeted critical comments under a pseudonym" -- Well, guess the twitterer confirms that we really should refer to his boss as "The Big Twit"......
---
With our government and court system making such efforts as to ban God from its properties, it makes you think about how little these activists know about God. God is ubiquitous. God is omnipotent. God is everywhere whether you want him to be or not. Thankfully, God is understanding and merciful, and is there for them as well.

Kohls and Macy's have announced they will be open Thanksgiving Day. Hope these 'turkeys" aren't on your menu for the day. Spend it with family.

Extremely low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " The Tea Party acts like America is their company, and taxpayers are employees who are largely ignored." -- Doh? This blithering idiot almost got it right but just doesn't know it! America is the Tea Party's country, and taxpayers do not need to be , nor should be ignored... the only thing this blithering idiot got somewhat wrong is that taxpayers are more like co-owners of America, not just employees of government workers.
---The German Chancellor called Judas 00-bama to complain about the U.S. spying on her. Wonder if Judas 00-bama told her that he'd just read about that in the newspaper this morning?
---Online story: " Northern California sheriff’s deputies have shot and killed a 13-year-old boy after repeatedly telling him to drop what turned out to be a replica assault rifle * Deputies also found a plastic handgun in the boy’s waistband" -- What hell hath the world of realistic make believe, and video games unleashed? If I were 13, and someone, especially a police force, had pointed guns at me and I was holding a toy, I do believe I'd have dropped it as quick as I could. Kids today must think those muscle enhanced superhero costumes will protect them as they fly of the roof of their houses.
---
As to the above item.... the story didn't even delve into why the police were at the scene to begin with... that even saddens the situation more.
---
L-E story: " BOSTON — (Bomber Brother 2) lawyers may try to save him from the death penalty in the Boston Marathon bombing by arguing he fell under the murderous influence of his older brother, legal experts say" -- "legal experts say"? How much did this bit of wacko-ness cost us taxpayers?
---L-E story: "An attorney representing Detroit urged a judge Wednesday to allow the city to fix staggering financial problems through bankruptcy, arguing that without it nearly 65 cents of every tax dollar eventually would be gobbled up by debts and other obligations" -- "An attorney representing Detroit"? An attorney is getting paid by Detroit? Detroit is $18 BILLION Dollars in debt and financial default, and it has cash to pay attorneys?
---
As to the item above - To boot there were "hundreds" of protesters walking in a circle outside the court house carrying signs that read, "Bail out people, not banks". Excuse me, Detroit has already had two of its biggest union employers, Government Motors and Chrysler-Fiasco, bailed out, and the people of Detroit not only elected their officials, they re-elected them as well. On top of everything else, who is paying the "hundreds" of protesters... they sound pretty organized to be a spontaneous public assembly...
---
It's happening! The lower court judges are taking over our country's best interest. Fresh off the press.. a judge has thrown out Robert and Senator Ted Kennedy's nephew's, Michael Skakles, murder conviction for killing his 15 year neighbor with a golf club. The judge threw it out on the basis that Skakle's lawyer did not represent his well. Good grief, what lawyer can make a silk purse out of a pig's ear? Especially grievous is that you know Skakle's lawyer team was "Kennedy approved" and justice for Moxley was already in doubt.
---
L-E headline: "House passes $8.2 billion water projects bill, Savannah port expansion" -- Hmmm....well we knew about Mitch McConnell's purchase price for his vote on stopping the shutdow, and now we know what Senators Chambliss, Isakson and Graham got "paid". Politics suck.
---
UGA's injury woes are minor to Alabama cleansing itself of 11 players this year... so far. Why is Alabama not missing a beat?
---
L-E headline: 'SEC will push to change targeting rule" -- Ooops my bad.. thought Wall Street had started a campaign to disband Congressional Banking Committee investigations.
---
The Advocare V100 Bowl will feature the 10th place SEC team versus an ACC opponent. Someone actually thinks a 10th Place conference finisher is bowl worthy? Does this mean that a 10th place SEC conference finisher has enough patsy-teams scheduled to still have a .500 record/6 wins season? The NCAA needs to revoke its decision to allow more than 10 regular season games.. the teams are not scheduling competitive out-of-conference games or interesting out-of-region games as was the excuse to begin with.

HuffPost headline: "White House hints at way around least popular part of ObamaCare" -- Is this an oxymoron or what? Ask 100 people what is the "least popular part", and you'd get 100 different answers. To me the most popular change would be "-----Care".
---
Story from above: "The health care reform law, known as the Affordable Care Act, may provide President Barack Obama's administration with a way to shield people from the law's individual mandate tax penalties, White House press secretary Jay Carney hinted Monday. * The law is clear that if you do not have access to affordable health insurance then you will not be asked to pay a penalty," Carney told reporters after Obama addressed the ongoing technological difficulties hampering enrollment into insurance viaHealthCare.gov." -- "the law is clear"? The only thing "clear" is that implementation will be worse than the rollout.
---
Online story: "The Common Core, adopted by 46 states, is supposed to help American students gain skills that translate into success after graduation" -- "translate into success AFTER graduation"? Isn't the problem in public schools just getting students TO graduate? How will SOCIAL promotions translate into success for anything but keeping more teachers employed?
---
From the online "joke of the day" department - HuffPost headline: "Kathleen Sebelius: Obamacare 'Isn't A Website, It's About Health Care And Affordable Plans' -- Guess Sebelius's personal computer has crashed.
---
Online story: "Apple's new operating system, "OS X Mavericks", doesn't just offer a spiffed up Web browser and extended battery life. It may also help protect you from the National Security Agency." -- It will also wean most of us off of Microsoft as well!
---
Excuse me but we need to contact our Congresspeople, and demand that a certain aspect from a recent California law be made available to all of us. California has a new law requiring Internet applications/social networks to allow teens to "erase" things they post, particularly pictures of them doing stupid teen tricks etc., so that those 'stupid teen tricks' aren't floating around the I-net in perpetuity. It should not be that difficult for Google, et al, to give users an easily accessible option to "erase/delete" browsing history periodically. It may make Google, et al, rewrite how they accumulate info to 'sell' to advertisers, but every user, not just California teens should be able to have a more private life if they desire.
---
HuffPost story: "Human Rights Watch alleged that 82 people, at least 57 of them civilians, were killed by the unmanned aircraft and other aerial strikes in Yemen between September 2012 and June 2013 and called such strikes unlawful or indiscriminate." -- You know, if you hang out with certain people, there is no innocence on your part (missionaries excluded). If "people" accept, just allow, terrorist to blend in with them, assimate into their lives, consequences happen.
---
Online story: "Texas high school coach Tim Buchanan benched his starters after only 21 plays, kept to a conservative ground game and even allowed the clock to run uninterrupted after halftime to hasten the final whistle. Still, his Bearcats won 91-0. * Now the coach is facing formal accusations of bullying. * The impressive victory for undefeated Aledo High School, a football powerhouse in suburban Fort Worth that has put up similar numbers against other schools, has forced an investigation after a parent from the opposing team filed a bullying complaint. The complaint, which must be investigated under state law, says Buchanan should have done more to prevent the lopsided score." -- "must be investigated under state law"? -- A parent has filed a "bullying" complaint against another school because its football team beat his son's team 91-0? If there is a lawsuit to be filed, it is one to strip this parent of parental rights as he has ruin his son's self-esteem, and his future reputation. His picture will forever pop up when people Google "wimp" or "wussie".
---
The other day, it was announced that Government Motors is padding the MSRP on it's trucks so dealers can look like they are giving you a better price than you actually are getting. What's really going on is that the prices on leases will be boosted to an inflated end-of-lease settlement price, which will make ending a lease difficult, if not near impossible for most folks.
---
I guess it's nice it its own way to have a "dog park" (even though it's not very convenient for most Columbusites) for people to take their dogs to train. Hmmm, maybe we need to build a "politicians park", at convenient Columbus Square, so we can train our Councilors not to waste money on frivolous things.
---
A couple of weeks ago, Mayor Obamalinson tried to convince me that the figures she used to discuss City employee/retirees were irrelevant for my comments, but she's back using them again just as I evaluated then. Wonder what she'll say this week. Truth is, my evaluation was spot on. * FOP President Randy Robertson, a Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office major, said public safety employees, as well as general government workers, are tired of city leaders balancing the budget on their backs. * He cited city pension problems two years ago and health insurance issues last year. * In both cases, employees ended up with more money coming out of their paychecks, he said. * Robertson said the money could be found in what he called a “bloated” city government that is “full of programs, services, people and practices that do not serve the citizens with the required duties of government." I rest my case about what I said two weeks ago, and confirm the above item.
---
Between the NSA, IRS, WikiLeaks, and Ed Snowden, you'd think Judas 00-bama and Jay Carney would have known they could have "compromised" with the Republicans on delaying the ObamaCare rollout and look better for doing so.
---
Jon Stewart, Oprah, and MSNBC are blasting ObamaCare. Chicken Little is right!
---
The latest from www.barackobama/organizingforaction.com : "Hal --You're probably hearing a lot about Obamacare's website glitches, especially from health reform's opponents." -- Dang... I guess Judas 00-bama is declaring Jon Stewart, Op[rah, and MSNBC as opponents....
---
Though speculated that Judas 00-bama's ultimate goal is to turn ObamaCare into a single-payer program, I'm starting to give that more traction. ObamaCare was presented as his legacy legislation, but if this was true, wouldn't Judas 00-bama have taken care to put the best web/database designers working on it so the rollout would be a smooth... effortless... a most pleasant experience?
---
Judge John Allen.. a proven good choice as local Superior Court judge has really disappointed me with his bully pulpit commentaries following his announced retirement. We don't need, nor want, a new judge to be sworn in with a cloud of controversy as to whether he/she was appointed as the best candidates or by affirmative action, and for a judge to even suggest a citizen, whether it's Dr. Ben Carson or President Obama, to muffle their opinions amidst the world of too much political correctness is just wrong.
---
A much dodged figure was used in a L-E story on a hiring scandal within the board structure of a MCSD board member. We have about 2600 teachers for 32,000 +/- students. In 1990, we had 32,000 students, but they were handled by only 2000 teachers. Why do we need 30% more teachers today versus 1990 for the same amount of students?

Low info racist voter's L-E "soundoff": "I saved $150 by not going to see Dr. Ben Carson, the Republicans’ new poster boy. I can hear the same thing on Fox News." -- And "we" knew this "soundoffer" is an Obamarat, a racist, and ignorant, and "we" knew this before he opened his mouth, and before Dusty Nix chose it to publish.
---
L-E story: " The U.S. and Europe are putting intense pressure on the main Syrian opposition group to attend a long-delayed peace conference aimed at ending Syria’s civil war, even though agreeing to join the talks could irreparably split the already-fragmented opposition in exile." -- Brilliant....NOT! And who is 'the main Syrian opposition group"... this week? What do the other opposition groups think about being considered minutia? Who's gonna smooth their feathers? Times like this is when "shock and awe" is the best diplomacy.
---L-E story: "Twice this year alone, Air Force officers entrusted with the launch keys to nuclear-tipped missiles have been caught leaving open a blast door that is intended to help prevent a terrorist or other intruder from entering their underground command post * The blast doors are never to be left open if one of the crew members inside is asleep — as was the case in both these instances" -- Hmmm, I think I'm more concerned that we have military personnel "asleep at the switch". Looks like Judas 00-bama has been firing Generals when he should have been firing the 'switch operators'...
---L-E story: " The federal government is going into uncharted waters, deep-sixing the giant paper nautical charts that it has been printing for mariners for more than 150 years * The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Tuesday that to save money, the government will stop turning out the traditional brownish, heavy paper charts after mid-April * Nowadays, most people instead use the on-demand maps printed by private shops, which are more up-to-date and accurate." -- "more up-to-date and accurate"? Hmmm, perhaps that was the reason government charts were not in demand but it was still printing them out....
---
L-E story: "Here’s more fallout from the government’s partial shutdown: Early tax filers will have to wait an extra week or two to get tax refunds next year." -- Hmmm.."fallout"? How about an 'excuse'? Why are we paying back wages for something Judas 00-bama could have averted by delaying ObamaCare rollout 1 year. Now we are getting the delay anyway because of the 00-bama teams ineptness, and having to people for work they weren't doing anyway.
---
Hmmm, maybe the mainstream media should just refer to the "ObamaCare Exchange" as the "ObamaCare Excuse".
---
Just thinking... Mayor Obamalinson feigns concern over "food trucks" being operated by local concerns "first", but she didn't care about going out-of-town to get whitewater operators when there was a local business with experience already open on Broadway. Bend over, Country's Barbeque et al!
---
L-E story: "A construction crew has been working on and off for the last two weeks to clear wooden debris from an old dam and reshape one of the eight rapids on the Chattahoochee River whitewater course * Bishop did not have a cost for the ongoing project and did not rule out future work on the course, though he said none has been scheduled" -- Whoa! If Bishop doesn't have an idea about what the cost is, it's because UPTown nor the Whitewater Express ain't paying for it. It's amazing how lack of responsibility and accountability ends concern over how much things cost. We've already used upthe expected revenes the City projects collecting from Whitewater Express for the next 48 years, so it needs to be a "concern" of Council before anymore dollars are paid out or committed.
---
L-E story: "Routine police questioning turned violent Sunday, ending in one injury and one arrest, according to Columbus Recorder’s Court testimony * Todd Bolden was in court Tuesday facing charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm in the commission of a crime, two counts of obstruction, transacting in a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school and giving false information to police * (Bail was) set $10,000 for each count of possession, $5,000 for each count of obstruction, $5,000 for transacting in a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school and $500 for giving false information" -- Why is someone who obviously has no respect for the law, and no remorse for what he was doing, being given an opportunity to get back on the street before a trial? He won't be able to get a real job, so what makes the court system think he'll play by the rules until his trial date? It's not the lack of gun laws that are the problem.
---
L-E story: " A tentative 2014 football schedule for Morehouse College has its annual showdown with rival Tuskegee University set to be played in Atlanta on its own campus, but school athletic director Andre Pattillo cautioned not to draw any conclusions * It’s a tentative schedule,” Pattillo stressed on Tuesday " -- "tentative"? Then why is this even a story... This is actually an attempt at "soft blackmail" to get the City to put 'bribe money" on the table to a private organization. Council should just go ahead and market that weekend to another user. Our high schools could surely benefit from have this venue open to them again.

Think about this.... 3.5 years in the making, a half BILLION dollars in costs, and a few thousand users crashed ObamaCare's website. On the other hand, a couple of college kids, a couple of semesters, and a few hundred bucks, created FaceBook in their spare time, and over a BILLION users have routine access to it all day.

Online story: "Not only is songwriter Toby Sheldon a 33-year-old Justin Bieber fan, his Bieber-devotion would blow teeny-bopping Beliebers out of the water * That's because Sheldon went so far as to spend almost $100,000 on five years worth of plastic surgery to make him look like his idol" -- Hmmm,the (_*_) could have saved money by just having his butt relocated on his shoulders and gotten better results.
---
Online headline: "Obama Addresses Health Care Website Glitches" -- Yeah, he smiled at Biden, and said, "Oh, sh*t, this is a real big F****** deal".
---
Three headlines... two common denominator: 1 - "Police Respond To Shooting At Nevada Middle School", 2 - "Police: Three People Shot At Vegas Nightclub", 3 - "Two Dead After Michigan Senior Center Shooting" -- Hmmm lets see... they all occurred in posted "gun free" zones ain states that voted for Judas 00-bama.
---
Hmmm, during the shutdown, we heard horror stories about WWII veterans being disrespected by the federal government's blocking visits to the WWII Memorial Park site. What I didn't hear was whether visitors to the Martin Luther King Memorial statue site had the same problem.
---
Three words to Judas 00-bama about ObamaCare.... fizz-ician heel thyself.
---
Online story: "The head of the International Association of Chiefs of Police used his introduction of Attorney General Eric Holder at a conference in Philadelphia on Monday to attack the Justice Department's recent decision to let Washington and Colorado implement a regulatory system for marijuana. * Craig T. Steckler, president of the IACP, was met with applause when he said the organization "strongly" disagrees with the decision not to challenge the new marijuana laws" -- Eric Holder---- the Rodney Dangerfield of Attorneys General... no respect but justified.
---
HuffPost headline: "Uruguay Will Sell Legal Marijuana For $1 Per Gram, Official Says" -- Hmmm, now there's a perfect fit for an Eric Holder retirement job.
---
Online story: "Barack Obama and Harry Reid needed to clear the air. The relationship between the president and the Senate majority leader had been deteriorating since 2011, with Reid losing respect for Obama's ability to negotiate with Republicans and Obama unsure if Reid had as much control over his Senate Democratic caucus as he liked to say." -- Hmmm, looks like Judas 00-bama has a hard time with negotiating with, even talking to, Obamarats as well at Republicans, and the American taxpayers. Remind me, how'd this guy get elected?
---
CRAPital One credit cards isn't content with having (_°_) B*ldwin speaking for it..CRAPital One has hired in Samuel L. Jack(_°_) to cuss at us.
---
Judas 00-bama needs to reel in his spinmeisters. They are still out proclaiming the ObamaCare rollout is working as expected... and "the people" are agreeing with them... The difference is that "the people" agree we were expecting this fiasco.
---
Judas 00-bama told the nation "I'm frustrated". The nation responded that Judad 00-Bama is frustrating.
---
Who knows whether Virginia has a runoff process for governors' races. I really can't find a definitive answer.
---
If Judas 00-bama has to end up delaying ObamaCare for a year because of the debacle rollout of the website, will mainstream media apologize to Boehner for trying to get 00-bama to do this before the government shutdown?
---
There's a story out that 49 states had an increase in poverty last year. The states were not listed ..on purpose, I guess so every Obamarat can infer that his/her state is the good one when campaigning for re-election.
---
Justice does.. can... happen ... A Boy Scout leader toppled a 170 million year old rock formation in Utah. That was bad enough, but justice will prevail for a disability suit he filed recently for a back injury. No one with a physical disability could have, or would have attempted to push such a rock over.
---
From the 'how do these people get elected/re-elected?" department - Online story: "Independent (far-left) Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont says, "Big business is willing to destroy the planet for short-term profits. And because of their power over the political process, you hear a deafening silence in the U.S. Congress and in other bodies around the world about the severity of the problem. Global warming is a far more serious problem than Al Qaeda." -- And to think that if Algore had this guy as a running mate, Algore coulda been elected.
---
L-E headline: "Caught in the system * Michael Gray was studying to be a band teacher when his marijuana habit landed him in jail and put a felony on his permanent record * It’s a stupid thing to be in trouble over,” Gray said of his marijuana addiction" -- You know.. In stead of saying his marijuana use is "a stupid thing to be in trouble over".Michael Gray could have helped his own cause by saying it was a lesson in life he could be an advocate to guide students away from using marijuana. Furthermore, it's not about being a picked on African-American, it's about attitude.
---
I do not know if Dr. Ben Carson would be a good candidate for elected office, nor whether he would really be interested in such, but he sure would be a good advisor for Republicans with flimsy backbones, and a great Secretary of Education, and would be the best person the NAACP could hire to lead the black community out of the stranglehold of the Democratic Party.
---
Low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " This slight modification of your Sound Off is probably more accurate: When I read the Bible I discovered Christians don’t act like Christians … virtually ever. No matter their politics." -- Hmmm.. another one of those 'experts' that hasn't read the Bible claiming he/she has... First, Christianity is not an act.. its a faith system, but if this joker had read, had studied the Bible at all, he/she would know that even if we fail Christ.. a little, or even a lot, we know Christ will not fail us.
---
Another low info voter's L-E "soundoff": "The hate and discontent in this country began under the George W. Bush regime. Granted, President Obama hasn’t done a whole lot to make it better, but he’s tried." -- "he's tried"? Some one is trying to convince us Judas 00-bama has tried"? You know, I really have to agree in a way.. Judas 00-bama has tried... has tried to divide us racially, has tried to embarrass us world wide, has tried to socialize our healthcare system, has tried to dumb-down our education system, has tried to disarm us, has tried to overrule our Constitution, has tried to remove Christ from our schools, military and government, and has tried to remove the American resolve to remain a free nation... but he will fail.
---
The Columbus State University Recreation Center and Spa... if the facility were not a campus icon, I could see it being a business venture for a private entity, but... what started out as an affordable spa, and student focal point, has turned into an expensive ($265.00 for about 4 months) study distraction, and with the inclusion of alumni usage, a leering spot for lechers.
