Income inequality...OK, so Judas Pinocchi-00 thinks income equality will solve the problems of poverty. How? Take Walmart...it has as many employees as the government, but does the government think that all Walmart 's employees, from greeter to CEO, should make equal salaries. That's pure folly, but if Walmart did this, the executives would retire/quit, and pretty soon. Walmart would be a rudderless ship and sink. All those left after the executives retired would soon be equally jobless with equal salaries around the $0.00 range.
---
If Judas Pinocchi-00 wants to demonstrate income equality in action, why don't he and his staff and Congress all work for the average government hourly wage.
---
Online headline/story: "Another winter storm clobbers the Northeast" * Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OKLA) said, “On multiple occasions, and most recently on May 30th of last year, President Obama has said — and this is a quote he has used several times — he said that ‘the temperature around the globe is increasing faster than was predicted even ten years ago’ and that ‘the climate is warming faster than anybody anticipated five or ten years ago,’” Inhofe said. “Both claims are false.” -- You know, our mainstream media must be the only media aspect that has helped Algore and Judas Pinocchi-00 perpetuate global warming. Seems God is "crossing" His "t's" this week after dotting the "(_*_)'s" 2 weeks ago.
---
Online headline: "NY GOP chairman calls on Cuomo to apologize for 'divisive' remarks on conservatives" -- Stupid, stupid, stupid! No, not Cuomo, but the NY GOP chairman... Cuomo is not going to mean any apology he gives, but if he gives one, mainstream media will deem the event 'sealed' and move on. Just keep the clips of Cuomo's words, and use them later in his next political race. After a while, even liberal voters hearing it over and over will have to think about what Cuomo thinks of them as well.
---
Oh , yeah.. and when other states' governors are competing with NY for new business, Cuomo's "quote" may be just may make the difference in what state CEOs decide to bring their companies.
---
Online story: "the tax filing season is being delayed because of the two-week-long government shutdown. The Internal Revenue Service says it needed the extra time to ensure that systems are in place and working. People will be able to start filing tax returns Jan. 31. Before the shutdown, the original start date was Jan. 21." -- Hmmm.... ten day delay... could we be building up to "OObamaCRAP 2, the Sequel"?
---
From above: "Don't think the delay will mean a change to the tax deadline, however. "The April 15 tax deadline is set by statute and will remain in place," the IRS says." -- Bold words for :OObamaCRAP 2, the Sequel".
---
Online headline: "Drew Barrymore Will Forbid Her Daughter From Posing For Playboy" -- This will be good,,, guess Barrymore is inspired by Judas Pinocchi-00's tout thatif he had a son, he would not let him play pro football.. the only thing wrong is Judas Pinocchi-OO doesn't have a son to worry about reining in as an adult, Drew Barrymore has a 1 year old daughter already who the paparazzi no doubt will be waving this motherly-control-order under her nose as she approaches her 18th birthday. Say "cheesy".
---
Online headline: "Investigators Baffled By Missing Couple Found Dead In New Jersey Garage" -- Hmmm, bet this is next week's claim that NJ Democrats will accuse Gov Christie for being responsible.
---
Online headline: ""Obama's NSA Speech Failed To Reassure Americans" -- Hmmm, Judas Pinocchi-OO has so damaged his credibility that he could produce a Kenya birth certificate, say he lied about his Hawaiian one, and even "birthers' would believe him.
---
Online headline/story: "Bill Gates: By 2035, There Will Be Almost No Poor Countries" -- Hmmm, guess Bill Gates must have got a "doctorate" from the "Algore School of Economic Change and Warming". Hmmm, or maybe he's thinks that Judas Pinocchi-00 will have brought in all the other countries into his AmeriKa rule, and since there will only be one country, where everyone has OObamaCRAP and universal economic equality, that Gates' claim will be technically true. With only one country , there will be almost no poor countries in the world.
---
Gates' comment reminds me of an old 'Cold war" joke about the media manipulation of truth: Russia challenged America to a race of its fastest car against Russia's fastest car. The American car finished many laps ahead, but the Russian media headline read: "Russian car finishes second; American car finishes next to last". Hmmm, it seems when Russia lost the cold war, Soviet media editors must have been exiled and found new jobs at CNN, MSNBC, HLN, ABC, CBS, and NBC.
---
L-E headline: "McDonald's denies evading heavy French taxes" -- Wonder if Judas Pinocchi-00 will defend it by adding ... "You want lies with that?"
---
Bet mainstream media was upset that Gov. Christie's inaugural Ball was canceled . The only other things media had to write about awere either the global warming scam or Judas Pinocchi-00's scandal of the week.
---
A poll of whether Americans would be willing to give up freedoms for more security just blew up in Judas Pinocchi-00's & AG Price Holder's faces. 70%....7 out of 10 gave a resounding "NO!" to the pollsters.
---
Blob Beckel had a Richard Sherman post-game meltdown on Fox's "The Five" when ranting about an NRA ad. Sherman's rant was more accurate as well.
---
Latest from www.barackobama/organizingfor action.com : "Hal -- Over the past few months, OFA has been talking to people all over the country about how their lives have been touched by health care reform." -- "touched"? How about assaulted or battered or raped?
---
With all the fervor over the Olympics site being in the center of radical Muslim terrorist areas, where are the Imams? Why aren't the Imams taking control of the situation to demonstrate they preach peace?
---
Latest from the Democratic Party's "State of the Union" speech contest: "Last Chance To Enter * Today Only, Each Entry Counts Twice" -- Hmmm, guess the DNC feels that it works for voting, it might work for this...
---
Chevrolet pulled its Silverado truck ad that contained a curse word after consumer feedback. You know, some ad exec is smugly defending himself by countering critics with a focus on "that the ad obviously got consumer attention". Is "any attention" what it's really about?
---
Is it ironic or what that Colorado and Washington are the two states that legalized recreational marijuana are sending their pro football teams to the Super Bowl? Will this Super Bowl be remembered as the one that went to pot?
---
You know, it's useless for us to even think about what we think Judas Pinocchi-00 could possibly be smokin' to come up with his agenda... smokin' is his agenda!
---
L-E story: "Columbus officials are looking for a man they say is a suspect in a Friday arson at 2062 Mason St., where at one point, a 6-year-old girl was trapped inside. * Firefighters found the girl unharmed and hiding under the covers in a bedroom of the house where five of the 11 residents were children" -- Hmmm.. since no people were killed, let's look at this a little differently. Below is the tax digest info about this rental property Questions: Were all the 6 non-children on this I'm-sure-is-a-single-family lease? How many different adults were getting welfare, rent assistance, food stamps and tax refunds at this single address? How can the landlord allow so many people to be crammed into an I'm-sure-not-enough-bedrooms site? Oh, and did any entitlement program personnel ever do impromptu field visits to this address?
Address: 2062 MASON ST
Legal Description: 13 BK A EASTVIEW
Building SqFt: 1860
Tax District: 1
Appraised Value: $19605.00
Assessed Value: $7842.00
Taxes: $325.06
---
L-E story: " Mayor Teresa Tomlinson outlined four major opportunities that lay ahead for Columbus in her 2014 State of the City address on Tuesday:
• Pursuing a high-speed rail connection to Atlanta.
• Starting the process of redeveloping the riverfront property between TSYS and Bibb City.
• Continuing the revitalization of south Columbus.
• Carrying out the vision of ending homelessness here in 10 years.
-- Huh? this wasn't a state-of-the-City speech, it was a "Mayor Obamalinson Re-election" campaign speech. What about the state of non-expenses-covered city programs? How about the health welfare of City employees? How about the rising crime rates? and the "list, uh, beat goes on"...
---
L-E story: " Five city employees came before Columbus Council during a public hearing on health care cost increases with similar opinions Tuesday evening at the City Services Center." -- Hmmm, and how come this wasn't a part of Mayor Obamalinson's "state of my reelection campaign speech"?
---
Self-prophetizing low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " Hey Rush Limbaugh, We “low information” voters at least know that a polar vortex is a real scientific term." -- Then how come he can't understand that Algore's "Global Warming" is not a real scientific term?
---
Another low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " To all you Southern states defying federal law in refusing to administer Obamacare: Let’s stop all your federal funding and see if you can survive." -- Hmmm.. I'm actually "OK" with this, but let's also cut out the federal taxes we pay for some Washington bureaucrats to carve up before they return a small portion of it.
---
I'm really interested in why Frank Myer's wants a different set-up in the MCSD legal situation.. Does he think he's destined to get politically appointed to this government job? I do wonder.. I see his wife is working another politically connected job at Columbus Tech. She has quite a resume of politically connected jobs in her past.
---
L-E's "Today in History feature: " In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade decision, legalized abortions using a trimester approach. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson died at his Texas ranch at age 64." -- Ironic, wasn't it...
---
L-E headline: "City again trying to sell Civic Center naming rights" -- Hmmm, how about selling it outright to a private company that can operate it without a loss to taxpayers? Same for the natatorium...

You got to be kidding.. Judas Pinochi-00 is "suggesting" that his low ratings are because if racism. Good grief.. his ratings are low because of his lying to his base voters. His ratings are low because his promises to his base voters are not going to be free to them. His low ratings are not effected by conservative voters, their opinions are the same as they were in 2008, only with more conviction. No, racism has nothing to do with the low ratings, it's a clear case of voters' regret. Sadly, even with his base's loss of confidence in him, they'd still vote for him.. well, they'd vote against any one running against him. Racism, though? Not an iota...
---
Fox got a good laugh yesterday..uber-lib Alan Colmes was trying to defend Judas Pinocchi-00's New Yorker interview. He looked like the proverbial duck... trying to act calm & collected but unable to conceal the turmoil below as he churned his feet as fast as he could to stay afloat.
---
Sarah Palin struck a chord for unity yesterday when she wrote on her FaceBook page: "Mr. President, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all who commit to ending any racial divide, no more playing the race card." -- Amen!
---
Online story: "A last-minute U.N. invitation for Iran to join this week's Syria peace talks threw the long-awaited Geneva conference into doubt Monday, forcing U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to rescind his offer under intense U.S. pressure after the opposition threatened to boycott." -- "intense U.S. pressure"? What did the White House threaten... to cut off electricity at the headquarters in NY or rescind the immunity to parking tickets in NYC?
---
Online story: "Nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis said Monday the governor called to dissuade him from running as a Democrat for state Senate in 2011 against Republican Sen. Dawn Addiego. * Lewis withdrew from the Senate race after a court ruled he didn't meet a residency requirement" -- What is this... pick on Christie month? I'm not even a Christie fan; don't even consider him a Republican. but what are Democrats trying to say... The Mayor of Hoboken's unsubstantiated and incredibly wild claim, and now this. Christie is a wily politician, which pretty much indicates he would not have done the things he's being accused of doing. In fact, it is the NJ Deomcrat Party that is actually doing to Christie what the Democrats are trying convince mainstream media did to it..
---
You know, if so called imbalances in criminal activities and consequences were acknowledged and treated as cultural problems rather than racist ones, logical citizens of all colors could meet and solve them because it would be in everyone's best interest.
---
The OObamaCRAP website went up on October 1st... it also went down on October 1st. It's now almost 3 months later, so why are we still talking about how insecure the website is?
---
Guess Rush appreciates the Breakfast Club. He used my mention of Obama's son, Trayvon, being micromanaged about a pro football career. It could be we think alike, but the times he's used one of my nicknames for Judas Pinocchi-00 in the past, he hasn't used them until after my blog has hit the streets. "NERO-BAMA" was the first, and 00-bama later.
---
Judas Pinocchi-00 says he wouldn't let his son play pro football. Having seen Pinocchi-00 toss a football, and I couldn't imagine a son of his would even be considered a prospect.
---
If Judas Pinocchi-00 can state he wouldn't allow his son play pro football, then why can't I say I'm not going to allow my children to sign up for OObamaCRAP? I think there's more danger in putting financial & medical info on the OObamaCRAP website than the probability of a son of Pinochi-00 even getting drafted.
---
You know, with his track record of lying through his teeth, marijuana supporters should be very concerned about Judas Pinocchi-00 claiming marijuana is safe.
---
ABC is scrambling for an escape for a politically incorrect comment "The Bachelor" made concerning gay perversion. Let's watch how ABC convinces the rest of the mainstream media that his apology should be accepted as all healing. In fact, let's bombard ABC that it has to put on "Gay or Bi-Batchelor" show on as well, and publisher the ratings.
---
You know, Slick Willy said he "tried" marijuana, but he didn't inhale.. yeah, right. On the other hand, Judas Pinocchi-00 admits freely he was an active user.. Personally, I just don't think he's ever exhaled.
---
Just watched a show on how "juice boxes" are made just reminded me how much I hated those. Unfortunately, my granddaughter is getting to the age she'll find them attractive, and I will trying to keep my car clean.
---
All weekend and all day Monday, there was a promo for an interview Meghan Kelly was airing on her Monday night show with Anthony Weiner. She asks him, how did you choose to be Carlos Danger? I really don't care, I will not turn her show on to find the answer, and I really hope I don't find out !
---
L-E headline: "28TH ANNUAL ALPHA PHI ALPHA MLK UNITY AWARD BREAKFAST * Lula Huff given MLK Unity Award" -- Good choice! In fact a real good choice, but a bit anticlimactic... we'd pretty much written off Mayor Obamalinson being in contention.
---
Bottom-of-the-barrel-low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " National wealth is most certainly finite. The more the 1% have the less the rest of have. Simple math." -- Simple math? What we have here is a very simple minded submitter.
---
L-E headline/story: "Despite up economy, Obama’s approval rating stays low * The stock market has hit sky-scraping highs, the unemployment rate has dipped to a five-year low and any number of economic statistics — new car sales, home prices, consumer spending — point to a perked-up economy that is steadily growing." -- Try as they may, White House/mainstream media spinmeisters avoid the one aspect that will truly indicate when the economy is "perked up". "steadily growing". Neither of those two claims will, no, can occur until the number of people who have dropped out of the job market start coming back in. There is no growth when fewer persons are working.

Time Magazine's cover asks, "Can Anyone Stop Hillary?" -- Yes ... her own ego. Do not let polls discourage you from voting.

---
Online headline/story: "Obama: Marijuana no more dangerous than alcohol * As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol," the president said. * Smoking marijuana is "not something I encourage, and I've told my daughters I think it's a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy," Obama said." -- Is there anything Judas Pinocchi-00 feels that truth is more important than maintaining his image as a pathetic liar? Telling an intentional lie to one's daughters when he had a chance to impart parental wisdom is just not acceptable for a Dad at any social/economic level but as president... good grief! This really does raise his claims of American citizenship to more scrutiny.
---
Online headline: "Obama: NFL players know the injury risks ‘they’re buying into * “I would not let my son play pro football’" -- Hmmm, oh! Judas Pinocchi-OO would micro-manage his son (can you imagine Trayvon Martin playing pro football), but would only discourage his daughters from using marijuana. Good grief.. this guy has his finger on a nuclear trigger!
---
CNN online story: "No Googling allowed: Who are Koichi Wakata, Oleg Kotov, Mike Hopkins, Mikhail Tyurin, Rick Mastracchio and Sergey Ryazanskiy? * If you're stumped by the question, don't feel bad. You're not alone." -- Very few people will know this answer... they are the 6 people 'living" together on the International Space Station. Now don't go kicking yourself for not knowing.. it's not a V-8 event. Just think of yourselves as being part of a doubling or tripling the people reached by CNN who now know the answer.
---
New York Times poll: "Majority of New York Voters Say They Would Re-Elect Cuomo, Poll Finds * The poll asked the opinions of some 800 registered voters in the state, and a solid two-thirds said they viewed Mr. Cuomo favorably; 54 percent gave him a positive assessment of his job performance and a solid majority — 57 percent — said they were ready to re-elect him." -- What did I recently postulate about polls... here's a another good example. If I were polling only 800 people in my state, I would know how the poll would turn out before I actually posed the questions to them. Cuomo is obvious a piker compared to similar potentates. Shoot, Lenin, Castro, Chavez and Kim Jong Il had polls with 100% popularity.
---
Online story: "Dennis Rodman has checked into an undisclosed alcohol rehabilitation center to treat his long-time struggle with alcoholism, his agent says.* Rodman recently returned to the United States from his latest trip to North Korea. * He later apologized for comments he made in North Korea about a detained American missionary, saying he had been drinking and was under pressure as he organized an exhibition game there. He also sang "Happy Birthday" to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the start of the friendly game.* "He is embarrassed, saddened and remorseful for the anger and hurt his words have caused." -- "embarrassed, saddened, and remorseful"? I think that better describes how Americans feel about Rodman.
---
L-E story: "The superintendent has given the Muscogee County School Board a report from an independent research firm that he says helped inform his controversial recommendation to retain the board's legal counsel for another year, but the report equivocates about its "accuracy and completeness" and doesn't identify its sources. * David Lewis, hired as superintendent in July, sought clarity amid the controversy by relying on Hanover Research of Washington. The board approved the contract with Hanover in October for $90,000 ($30,000 per year over three years)" -- Like the toddler in the State Farm ad who said the Mime speaking was "freaky", I find it "freaky" that the Board is spending 3 times as much money on this research as it did on hiring Lewis as superintendent.
---
WRBL3 News story: "Nearly nine thousand have joined the facebook protest group in less than a week. The group called "T.R.A.G.I.C." -- or "Teachers Rally Against Georgia Insurance Changes" -- is speaking out about the problems the state insurance change has caused them * Some like Melissa McCoy - a teacher with chronic hypertension who suffered a major heart attack last year - say the change is shifting that budget deficit to them, “My diagnosis has come to a standstill because of this insurance. I can't afford the diagnostics - I can't afford to do that and go see my specialists as I need to and I can not afford to pay a vast pharmacy bill that's coming out of my HRA but not offsetting that deductible." -- Teachers: Welcome to OObamaCRAP. Your unions supported his election and re-election in spite of the overwhelming evidence that Judas Pinocchi-OO was a liar then as now, and if you were trusting enough to vote for him twice you ought to be accepting of whatever he says.
---
It was refreshing to have the announcer at the Pats-Broncos game to remind folks to remove their hats. Unfortunately, it's gotten to this point. Sadly, some players left their do-rags on, and too many couldn't.. wouldn't...stand at attention or put their hand over their heart.
---
After watching the National Anthem ceremony at Seattle, the NFL needs to send a memo out that when real effort has been made to honor our flag, out country, and especially our soldiers, the players need to make an effort to show that they respect and support our military.
---
Hmmm, do you wonder whether Martin Luther King's family likes sharing this birthday weekend with Michelle Obama?
---
You know, Laura Bush celebrated her 60th birthday while her husband wad the sitting president, yet mainstream media didn't seem to fawn over how well she looked at 60.
---
On a friend's FB time line, a line of other things you might "like" include an icon for Aflac and Congressman Bishop. The Aflac Duck had 445,000 "likes" and Congressman Bishop had 2,700. I can see where people love the Aflac 'quack" but not the 'quack' politician.
---
Latest from the Democratic Party: ":Your flight and hotel are on us, Hal" -- OK, I bit and read my e-mail from the www.barackobama.com website. Just as I expected.. another lie.. They aren't giving me anything.. I can sign up and make a donation to 'win' a trip to see Judas Pinocchi-OO. How can doanting be a requirement. McDonald's has ways to win it's games without buying anything, and super giveaway promoter, Publishers' Clearing House" makes a big point about not being required to make a purchase to be able to win. Now I have to wonder if the DNC will cover the taxes on the winnings?
---
Did you know that you no longer have to be an American citizen to donate to a political party? Now you can make a donation if you are a "permanent resident alien".How can anyone be classified as a "permanent resident alien" and be given the Constitutionally protected rights limited to American citizens?
---
A story in the L-E's "Ledger Inquirer" feature, a house is brought to our attention. Circumstances involving a foreclosure in limbo have left the house deteriorating and without immediate recourse by any party involved. I'm curious as to why the bank carrying the original mortgage would not act in its best interest to secure the premises from roof/water damage. I'm curious as to why there aren't federal regulations requiring banks to do so when the property has been abandoned. Government "at work".. Welcome to OObamaCRAP, too.
---
Low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " Check the record. The mayor doesn’t get a vote on spending. Council votes got us where we are." -- Half truth... typical Democrat politician claim. The Mayor has the controlling vote on every issue brought to the Council attention. If Council splits 5-5 on an issue, the Mayor casts the deciding 6th vote. In effect, Mayor Obamalinson, as her predecessors, vote on every issue.
---
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr spoke, " I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." -- The most important aspect of his dream has been nullified, undermined, by pretenders to his throne, and by the mainstream media. No issue can be addressed, and no meaningful dialogue can be carried to fruition without a thorough assault on the other sides' skin color.. Sadly, the Jesse Jacksons, the Al Sharptons, public education, and the liberal media have done more to contain advancements than any other influences.
---
L-E story: "Former Hardaway running back J----- C--------, a member of the 2015 recruiting class, officially withdrew his commitment to the University of Louisville on Sunday. C------- is a rising senior, but is ineligible to play his final season with the Hawks because he has already turned 19 years old. He will spend his final year conditioning, staying healthy and handling his recruitment." -- Wait a minute.. "He will spend his final year conditioning, staying healthy and handling his recruitment"? How about studying! I'm glad that education is available, but where is the wisdom of having a 20 year old walking the halls amongst 14/15 years olds? Obviously he's two years behind his peer class, so why isn't he separated from the public education system? Why not arrange for him to get his GED and move on? Ironically, with a redshirt college year, he could be playing college football at age 25 against someone else's 18 year old son. If it's taken him 5, maybe 6 years to graduate from high school, what scores does he have for college admission? Something is very wrong here.

L-E story: "The opening of Postal Service retail centers in dozens of Staples stores around the country is being met with threats of protests and boycotts by the agency's unions. * The new outlets are staffed by Staples employees, not postal workers, and labor officials say that move replaces good-paying union jobs with low-wage, nonunion workers. * "It's a direct assault on our jobs and on public postal services," said Mark Dimondstein, president of the 200,000-member American Postal Workers Union." -- Well, if you ever wonder whether there is a solution to turn the USPS around, this just shows it isn't going to happen.. The Postal Union's only concern is about jobs for members.. better service for consumers is not even in the union thought process.
---
Online story: " French President Francois Hollande's approval rating remained unchanged following a news conference to announce economic reforms and after reports of an affair with actress Julie Gayet put his private life in the spotlight, a poll showed. * Twenty-two percent of those interviewed were satisfied with Hollande as president" -- Interesting mainstream media reporting angle... a whopping 22% are behind Hollande's decisions versus only 78% rejecting them. You know Judas Pinocci-00 has probably taken note of this as he's always said he's in love with the French government and feels good that his own poll numbers are close to double that of the French president so he's still "OK".
---
I have about decided that polls are our biggest political problem.. Too many decisions are made based on how they will affect the next poll rather than whether it's the best decision for our city's, state's or country's needs and growth.
---
From the "unintended consequences but what did you really expect" department - Online headline: "Porn industry is leaving L.A." -- Politics, indeed, do make "strange bedfellows"... Democrats, you know. the Pelosi-Feinstein coalition, those bastions of "stay out of our bedrooms" stalwarts, have over regulated the industry so that it is taking refuge in Nevada. Guess the porn industry would rather get in bed with Reid, who seems to be comfortable doing whatever he can to whomever he can.
---
Online headline: "Nun gives birth to baby boy: 'I did not know I was pregnant' - Hmmm, wonder if she knows who the Father is...or is it she wasn't a 'none'?
---
Online headline: "Derek Jeter helps promote health-food startup" -- Hmm...a baseball player who's now concerned about what he's putting in his body... now novel.. how refreshing.
---
Judas Pinocchi-00 loudly proclaims OObamaCRAP is "the law of the land". Judas Pinocchi-00 smirkingly proclaims he likes his personal coverage better. Hmmm does tha make Pinocchi-00 ABOVE his own "law of the land"? Hmmm, "some are more equal than others"... where have I head that before?
---
Online headline: "Madonna apologizes for racial slur" -- Hmmm, wonder if she will get the Al Sharpton or the Paula Deen treatment... or maybe something in between like (_*_) B*aldwin?
---
CNN headline: "Spare us the gun lecture, Harvey" -- Harvey? Yep, Harvey Weinstein, no less. There is "hope", maybe even "change" in the future air. CNN has seemingly (we know it won't affect how CNN staffers vote) turned on Weinstein's suddden outrage over guns. Weinstein has made a fortune extorting gun violence in his "Kill Bill" and "Pulp Fiction" bloodbaths
---
Online headline: "Chris Christie's Office Goes Off On MSNBC: 'A Partisan Network That Has Been Openly Hostile' -- Christie still doth protest too much.. Now he wants MSNBC to support what he says out of both sides of his mouth.
---
Latest from the Democratic Party/Debbie Wasserman Schultz: "Hal -- I love State of the Union day." -- See, Democrats, Schultz in particular, cannot start any conversation without a lie.. I asked her, in return, to name me on State of the Union day she loved when Bush was president.. I do not expect a reply.
---
Online story: "On Friday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), who has been widely discussed as a possible 2016 presidential candidate, told Susan Arbetter of The Capitol Pressroom that “extreme conservatives” should leave the state. He said that “extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay” have “no place in the state of New York.” He began by ripping into the Tea Party without naming it.” -- Hmmm, yep.. just another typical Democrat who will campaign on being the candidate for "ALL the People". Yeah, right... uh, left.
---
Latest from www.barackobama/organizingforaction.com: "Hal -- Great news: If you've ever thought about becoming a Spring Fellow -- or know someone who'd be fantastic at it -- you still have a chance to be part of this. * This year's Spring Fellows program is on pace to be our biggest yet, so we're extending our application deadline until Sunday, January 26th." -- Yep... looks like his support is definitely dwindling.. Judas Pinocchi-00's numbers are way down amongst those who have ever claimed to support him as well as normal Americans.
---
Remember "Octo-mom"? She's in court...again...for food stamp fraud...again. This time she faces a possible 8 year prison sentence...hmmm... 8 years..that sounds ironically appropriate for "octo-mom".
---
Online headline: "It's Official: Michelle Obama Is the Youngest 50-Year-Old Ever" -- Hmmm, must be her rendition of "The Emperor's New Clothes".....Obviously this headline writer is on Michele's "staff" as the Chief Sycophant".. Guess this person is also looking to be the replacement for Judas Pinocchi-00's current Chief Sycophant, Jay Carney.
---
Online headline: "Kim Kardashian Shares Wedding Details" -- OMG! Does she not have ANY shame? Will there be "film at 11:00"?
---
The school board might just better latch on to Hatcher-Stubb's talents for at least the rest of the year. I imagine the man who was dragged over a mile under the car of a Spencer student who did not have any of the documentation that's required for a student to have a car on a Columbus high school campus will be filing a suit for negligence against the Spencer High administration for not monitoring student's parking undocumented, uninsured vehicles on campus.
---
I find it "amusing" that Atlanta's mayor is catching flack for not challenging Governor Deal versus supporting the Democrat Party choice for Jason Carter. Could it simply be than the mayor realizes that Deal is a much better choice than another Carter for our state? If so, standing "O" for Reed putting our state's needs above his party's wants!
---
Absolute lowest of low info voter's L-E "soundoff": "Criminal Wall Street banks took our trillion-dollar bailout and used it to pay lobbyists and lawyers to gut the Dodd-Frank Consumer Protection Acy. I see another bailout coming soon." -- As Redd Foxx was so apt to say in a situation like this, "It's the big one, Elizabeth!" This submitter probably tried to write in their names in the last election even though neither ran because they didn't want the campaign ads to reveal the full extent of their crookedness and complicity in bringing the housing/mortgage industry to it's knees.
---
Has to be another L-E"soundoff" from the above submitter: "Banks making loans to people who weren't creditworthy crashed the economy. Some of them may have been "deadbeats", but bankers weren't forced to approve the loans." -- This has to be the same person as above. Surely we don't have two such people walking around here at the same time.
---
L-E story: "This is the inaugural year for the Little Miss Ebony Columbus Scholarship Pageant. Young ladies ages 4-17 who are African-American or Latino descent in the Columbus area can participate." -- Is there a "Coloreds Only" water fountain on site as well? You know, I do not object to a a scholarship pageant, but I do object to such based only on the color of one's skin. WWMLKS...What Would Martin Luther King Say? Oh, ACLU... where are you?
---
Looking at the local Council/MCSD Board election picture, I see a few a few we need to keep.. Pop, Bruce, and Judy on Council, and Mark on the MCSD Board. The rest have to show me something more between now and May 20th. Am definitely leaning for Colin at this stage of the Mayoral line-up. Josh already has my vote. Will voice my opinions later as the dust clears on who's running for what.
---
L-E story: "A south Georgia funeral home broke no laws when it used newspapers to stuff the body of a Valdosta teenager found dead last year inside a rolled up gym mat at his school, state regulators concluded in a report sent to the teen’s parents." -- Wow! Now there's an alternative to the two previous best ways to recycle old L-E's... corpse cavity filler. It does sound more noble than "crappie wrapper" or "bird cage liner".
---
L-E story: " A Tuscaloosa County jury has acquitted a 25-year-old man charged with shooting six people wounded by gunfire at a birthday party nearly two years ago. * The Tuscaloosa News reports a jury found Donald Deshun Wynn not guilty Friday in all six shootings at a Cottondale party last February. Defense attorney Mike Upton said Wynn and his family were “just very relieved” by the verdict. * A second man charged in the shootings, 25-yearold Tivon Rollie Thomas, is scheduled to stand trial in April." -- You know, all the protests, all the press releases, and all the marches against violence on the streets/black on black crime go for naught when the jury system lets violent people out because of the color of their skin. Matin Luther King, Jr. .. your self-proclaimed disciples need remedial course.

No amount of government aid will pull any citizen out of poverty unless the government aid is for the purpose of making sure every citizen has the equal protection from the government as written into the U.S. Constitution. Even the successful and hard workers need equal protection FROM the government, especially the current administration.

It's amazing to watch mainstream media go after Robert Gates. Perhaps mainstream media should do us all a favor and go after the 'message' rather than the messenger. Benghazi comes to mind as well. Oh, and how about our veterans' post service medical needs?

Just when we thought the Columbus L-E couldn't do any more harm than publishing Leanord Pitts' commentary, the L-E brings out Mary Sanchez.

Name change!!! Judas Pinocchi-OO. He still betrays us and lies about wanting to kill off his enemies.
---
Just thinking about something.. you know, Judas Pinocchi-OO campaign website raised millions of dollars and had millions of minions signed up on it.. As soon as the 2012 election was over ,he had converted that site to a 501 (c) 4 status organization. How come his sites never crash, and how come the IRS could get his organization a charity status so quickly? OObamaCRAP is doing just what he planned it to do.

---
Online story: "So one of the things that I’m going to be talking to my Cabinet about is how do we use all the tools available to us, not just legislation, in order to advance a mission that I think unifies all Americans — the belief that everybody has got to take responsibility, everybody has got to work hard, but if you do, that you can support a family and meet the kinds of obligations that you have to yourself and your family but also to your communities and to your nation." -- All the tools available to us? The president isn’t supposed to have such tools. That’s what the Constitution was all about – checking the power of a potential monarch." -- Judas Pinocchi-OO is insane! This is what he's up to as we sleep.
---
Online story: "A member of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, has been sentenced to up to 20 months for illegally discharging a firearm. Irony, poetic justice or both? * James Schiliro, the mayor of Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, took 20-year-old Nicholas Dorsam to his home for a few glasses of wine. When Dorsam tried to leave, Schiliro went into a craze, firing his gun into a stack of papers, and threatening to commit suicide." -- Liberal politicians knowing how to tweak the buttons of one issue low info voters is an art form. They never mean what the promise, but a vote's a vote.
---
What's in the Pennsylvania water supply? A Pennsylvania judge just struck down photo IDs for voting. Just mentioned that yesterday in relation of David Vitter's "stupid Republican" ..trick of wanting photo IDs for food stamps and getting the DOJ to enforce such.
---
OObamaCRAP has highlighted an issue that no one has brought up. A lot of Democrat Representatives & Senators have served 20 or 30 years or more....OK, then why didn't they step up to the plate and stop OObamaCRAP simply because they've been around so long they knew government is not capable of running an ambitious program with efficiency and success
---
Governor Deal is getting one by on the Democrats. By signing a new election schedule for state primaries and local non-partisan election to be held the same day, he not only saves us money, but puts the election date during the school year so moere people will be in town rather on vacation. Go, Gov!
---
Now there are plans in the works to clean up space junk. Heard one of those ideas yesterday and about barfed. Some "expert" said they were looking into some sort of "magnetized dragnet". Excuse me, but exactly how many objects were/are made of any steel content? Besides, what material would actually be strong,flexible enough to "catch" debris moving at 1,000s of miles per hour?
---
As we analyze and dissect the mental health needs of our veterans, maybe the mental healthcare industry needs to analyze and adjust its billing and fee plans.

L-E story: ":If you drive across the Dillingham Street Bridge and look north, you will see the latest piece of the Chattahoochee River whitewater project beginning to take shape. * A take-out ramp is under construction on the Alabama side at a cost of $559,801. The ramp is being built into the Chattahoochee River in the small piece of property north of the Phenix City Amphitheater and south of where Holland Creeks dumps into the river on the Alabama bank." -- You know, I do believe Mayor Obamalinson has had her head handed to her. Phenix City already has a launch site upriver, and now will have a exit point... Wonder if Mayor Obamalinson read all the fine print about getting fees for all the rafters.. Seems to me, Phenix City may want those fees for themselves, and with ingress and egress sites, PC has a real good argument.
---
Saw an article about how diet sodas are the mixers if choice in frat/sorority houses today. Seems the diet versions boost alcohol saturation, and comparative drinks versus non-diet drinks puts breathalyzer tests 18% higher. Hmmmm, guess we can expect diet Red Bull mixers soon
---
Online story: "Remember how Barack Obama, following his inauguration in 2009, infamously disparaged the concept of American exceptionalism? * “I believe in American exceptionalism,” he sarcastically said with his trademark self-satisfied smirk, “just as I suspect the Brits believe in British exceptionalism, and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.” Five years hence, his presidency has succeeded in degrading America toward the unexceptional status in which he held it all along. * the U.S. has finally fallen from the top ten most economically free nations in the world. That is bad enough standing alone, but the fact that global economic freedom overall rose to a new high while we’ve progressively declined exacerbates the cause for alarm. " -- Putting it in layman's perspective, Judas Pinocchi-00's game plan is working... after 5 years, we have lost our title of World Champions to not qualifying for the BCS.
---
Online headline: "Why Did the Benghazi Story Change? " -- Hmmm, truth is, it didn't. It's just that truth always finds a way to the light of day. Ask former Nazi holocaust guards and officers....
---
Latest from www.barackobam/organizingforaction: "Thanks for adding your note to our card for First Lady Michelle Obama on her 50th -- we'll pass along all the best wishes we get. * Make sure your friends and family have a chance to sign it, too. * Pass this link on to spread the birthday love for the First Lady:
https://my.barackobama.com/page/s/michelle-birthday-card-2014" -- "we'll pass along all the best wishes we get"? I sure hope my message gets to her, but, from experience, we already know this promise is a lie. My message: "Mrs. Obama, will you please stop spending our tax dollars in such flamboyant ways. Happy birthday. Hal"

"Black leaders"... I'm parenthesizing them because they seem to be self-appointed and self-aggrandizing... have about beaten their drums of racism about racism being the reason for the disproportionate figures of black crimes and blacks incarcerated. Pric Holder, the US District Attorney/head of the DOJ, has even suggested schools are perpetuators of racism and need to stop disciplining black students. Fortunately, it's becoming more obvious that these so-called "black leaders" are being seen for what they are... the 21st Century version of "The Boy who cried wolf". Hey, it's not about racism... it's about a dysfunctional culture.
---
L-E headline: "Obama proposes new limits on NSA phone collections" -- Yeah, Judas Pinocchi-00 said to back off listening in on his.
---
From L-E's "Today in History" feature: "In 1943, a U.S. ban on the sale of pre-sliced bread — aimed at reducing bakeries’ demand for metal replacement parts — went into effect. " -- Hmmm maybe this was the first inspiration for Judas Pinocchi--00's OObamaCRAP idea... sliced bread. Sliced bread is obvious the original best idea ever, because new inventions compare themselves 'as the best idea since sliced bread". I guess we can conclude that the "best ideas" of Democrats is to take something that works really well for most of the country, and shut it down.
---
L-E story: " Special Operations Unit agents swept through a suspected drug house on Second Avenue in search of cocaine Thursday. * Now, it appears the crack cocaine the agents found may have been fake, according to Columbus Recorder’s Court testimony. * Angelo Adams, 29, Frances Gonzalez, 53, Tsetung Taylor, 39, Connie Thomas, 40, and Jennifer Gay, 49, faced charges during a Friday morning hearing after agents searched the 2608 Second Ave. home Thursday afternoon." -- Hmmm, unwittingly the L-E has done our society a bit of good... it has printed the names and address of bogus 'crack' dealers. Now their "customers" know who they are and where they live.. now if the police/courts will promptly let them go so their customers can find them and dispense prompt justice.
---
You know, UGA is paying it's new (past also as I understand) Defensive Coordinator $850,000.00 a year. Academia will grumble at this but academia doesn't grasp that success rewards the successful because they can show results for their work. wait a minute.. if this is a truism, why isn't the new DC making more that the old DC?
---
L-E headline/story: " Rasmus inks $7- million deal with Toronto Blue Jays * Rasmus hit .276 last year with 22 homers and 66 RBIs." -- Gimmee a break... a 1-for-4 batter, with 22 HR in an era of shortened fences who knocked in only 44 other runners after deducting his home runs is worth $7M?
---
L-E story: " Pastor Curtis Crocker Jr. of Metropolitan Baptist Church in Columbus believes if the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was here today, he would be disappointed." -- You're danged right he would be disappointed! His followers have abandoned his ideals by holding on to the past rather than moving forward.
---
L-E story: "BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Chris Pine says the U.S. should have done more in the run-up to the Sochi Olympics to protest Russia’s anti-gay legislation, which he calls “clearly awful, archaic, hostile nonsense.” -- My first question is, who is this guy? My second is, if he's so convicted,why isn't he standing on a street corner in Moscow saying this?

HuffPost headline: "Obamacare Could Cause Longer Wait Times At ERs" -- No way! Now hospitals are just taking advantage of a known bad situation to make an excuse for what is already an interminable wait when you walk into an emergency room with a less than death-looking-them-in-the-face problem. Now, what is going to be a problem is walking into an ER, and being rejected because of OObamaCRAP.

---
HuffPost headline: "New Study Shows Teens Are Sooo Over Facebook" -- Now might be a good time to "GET OUT"!
---
Online story: -- "Four members of a Texas family face drug charges after neighbors reported suspicious activity at their home to police using a crime-prevention smartphone app. * Parents Raymond and Stephanie Wood were arrested last Friday, along with their 18-year-old son and 22-year-old daughter. They were all charged with drug possession (marijuana, cocaine, morphine, and Xanax)" -- Hmm, "the family that OD's together..strays together"?
---
Online headline: "David Vitter Wants Food Stamp Recipients To Show Photo ID Every Time They Buy Food" -- Arrggghhhh!!!!! Another "stupid Republican".... trick... We can't get the DOJ to get off states' attempts to require photo ID as voters (or citizens, for that matter), and he thinks the Pric Holder will enforce this?
---
Online headline: "Spectacular Neon Blue Lava Pours From Indonesia's Kawah Ijen Volcano At Night" -- Hmmm, is this one of those pre-apocalypse signs...blue lava... sorta like hell freezing over?
---
Online headline: "Christie Hires Blagojevich Prosecutor To Conduct Internal Bridge Scandal Review" -- Once again.. Christie doth protest too much....He's going to get "McCained" as it is by the NJ Congress' double Democrat majorities and mainstream media, but now he thinks that hiring someone who helped the Chicago Political machine bury one of its own is going to make him look good? Another "stupid Republican"... trick... roll over, beg, play dead.

L-E story: "France's government, under EU pressure to control public finances, says the deficit last year was bigger than expected because of anemic growth. * The finance ministry released figures showing a 74.9 billion-euro ($102 billion) deficit, compared with 62.3 billion euros initially forecast. * President Francois Hollande, elected on promises to fight EU austerity policies, stunned his leftist base with a big policy speech this week promising to slash spending and taxes. Some economists warn that could further stifle growth." -- Hollande... isn't he the one that raised top taxes to 75% and saw celebrities and entrepreneurs change citizenship? Isn't France Judas 00-bama's graven image to emulate? Hmmm, maybe "we" should adopt the 'Euro' for our currency as well. OO-bama couldn't print those up whenever he wants.
---
L-E headline: "Sheryl Crow to play at Detroit auto show preview" -- Hmmm, how ironically appropriate... a broken down entity in need of a bailout working in a broken down entity in need of a bailout.
---
Online headline: "Hillary Clinton's Controversial Magazine Cover" -- Ooops, my bad.. thought "Time" was rewriting Benghazi... again.
---
Door-to-door solicitations should be phased out. In this day and time, when we don't even let our kids play outside without supervision, legitimate solicitors are basically shields/ distracters for criminals casing out neighborhoods to see who is home. Exceptions can be made; children's organizations could have announced dates and the kids wear uniforms, and perhaps civic clubs could have support vehicles with signs attached park in prominent areas when members are active.
---
Why are there so many PSA "ads" on talk radio stations that have an URL address for ".gov"? Is the government paying for all those spots?
---
It really bothers me that utility companies are allowed to donate money to charities and corporate events. They are basically monopolies and get rates set/approved by elected political boards who accept the "donations" as expenses which effect the rate increases the utilities want to get approved to cover next years donations.
---
Online story: "A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday that would restore protections in the Voting Rights Act that were struck down by the Supreme Court last year.* The bill is bipartisan, with Republican Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner joining Democrats Rep. John Conyers, Sen. Patrick Leahy in introducing the legislation. " -- "bipartisan"? I think any "republican" from Wisconsin who associates with Leahy, Conyers, and John Lewis would be considered a RINO at best.
---
Online story: "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid bluntly accused former Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday of being "out to make a buck" with a memoir that attacks numerous other officials from President Barack Obama on down. * "He denigrates everybody, everyone, Secretary (of State Hillary Rodham) Clinton, the president, (Vice President) Joe Biden, me."" -- Hmm ... sounds a lot like "Senator Pot Calling A Kettle Black" is trying to close "the Gates" after the cows have left the barn...
---
The House passed a bill to make government responsible for alerting you if the information you post on the OObamaCRAP website is compromised . Harry Reid in the Senate refuse to take it to the floor of the Senate. I can only surmise that Democrats feel that the only thing government should be responsible for is overspending tax revenues.
---
You know, it's because of the tax freeze that Columbus has weathered the recession & the housing balloon burst. There's no telling what would have happened had Council had control over raising values and taxes to cover the growing operating costs for all the nonperforming projects Mayor Obamalinson pushed.
---
Online story:"Wednesday the Senate finally made a statement about Benghazi. A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee has found that the State Department could have likely prevented the death of four Americans in Benghazi if they would not have ignored the intelligence reports and pleas for assistance from our diplomatic mission. The findings are that increased security was needed * 15 persons in Libya who were attempting to cooperate with the FBI investigation are now dead. Isn’t that convenient? * Does it matter now Mrs. Clinton?" -- Hmmm, 15 dead witnesses...my big question is whether or not the NSA was tracking Bill Clinton's whereabouts and e-mail/text messages..

Online story: "State lawmakers in Missouri are considering a measure that would create new gun safety laws. The measure would require parents and guardians, upon enrolling a child in school, to notify the school district if they own firearms. Stronger laws for parental responsibility over firearm access would also be extended to include negligent storage of firearms. Under the bill, failure to report the ownership of firearms or failure to store them properly would be a Class A misdemeanor, unless death or injury resulted, in which case the offence would be a Class D felony." -- Hmmm, my response would be... invaded the privacy of my home, and after the smoke clears, you'll have your answer... at least the police investigators will.
---
I really don't follow the Oscars.. could care less about someone else telling me whether he/she enjoyed a movie or thought someone did a good job when I went (or can go) to see it for myself... BUT, I do have one suggestion for Best Actor.... George Clooney for "Gravity". I really don't like Clooney, his politics stink, but he did an outstanding job in "Gravity". He played a role of self sacrifice, and if that's not superior acting, what is, cause he sure isn't that way in real life.
---
L-E story: "A new data visualization project by The New York Times, Mapping Poverty in America breaks down both the number and percentage of the population living in poverty in each county in the country." -- The New York Times? The L-E is citing "the New York Times" about local conditions? Does it sound odd that the L-E would print a New York Times evaluation of data collected by ACORN before it was disseminated by the White House spinmeisters?.. You know, it should sound odd, but it doesn't.. the L-E is so leftist.
---
Hmmmm, OObamaCRAP is going to use basketball legends to promote itself at an announced cost of about $100,000,000.00. Makes you wonder whether or not Dennis Rodman might have been on a sales mission to North Korea.
---
Hmmm, $50,000,000.00 of that advertising budget is going to be spent on NBA basketball game time slots... I know OObamaCRAP is trying to reach a certain market, but isn't this a little too much stereotyping and profiling?
---
Hmmm...Besides, wouldn't spending $100,000,000.00 on actual poverty healthcare help out better than paying that much to high income advertising executives/networks?
---
A Hollywood (_*_) has promised to make movie that will make the NRA wish it never existed. His point? Does he actually wish the number one organization for teaching gun safety never existed?
---
A liberal contributor on Fox was trying to blindly defend the Hollywood producer's "desire" to destroy the NRA. You know, watching a liberal flounder trying to defend something when she has zero knowledge or facts to even make up a position is really sorta fun. She would be a great SNL skit by herself .

Online story: "WASHINGTON -- After failing to reach an agreement that would avoid litigation, the federal labor board issued a complaint against Walmart on Wednesday, formally accusing the world's largest retailer of breaking labor law during Black Friday strikes by its store workers." -- Good grief! What a conspiracy of federal supported union activity! Walmart could run this country profitably, has a better healthcare package than OObamaCRAP, and Judas 00-bama sics the DOJ on Walmart. This country would be better off today and in the future if we replace OO-bama and his Cabinet with the Board of Directors of Walmart.

---
HuffPost headline: "President Obama thinks Facebook is lame" -- Hmmm, well I'm sure FaceBook has a similar opinion of Judas 00-bama as well, but if 00-bama "thinks" that way about FB, can you imagine what he "feels" about HuffPost?
---
Online story: "The Air Force says 34 nuclear missile launch officers have been implicated in a cheating scandal and have been stripped of their certification in what is believed to be the largest such breach of integrity in the nuclear force. * Some of the officers apparently texted to each other the answers to a monthly test on their knowledge of how to operate the missiles." -- Two things going on here...one is what appears to be the ripple effect of lack of leadership from Judas 00-bama as Commander-in-Chief , the other is if text cheating is evident among officers in military, it must be pervasive with college/hs students in classrooms.
---
Online headline: "House Passes $1.1 Trillion Spending Bill" -- Perspective we can grasp...If the day you were born, someone put $34,000,000.00 in aside for you each day of your life, and you lived to be 80 years old, you would still be short of acquiring a trillion dollars.
---
Online headline: "Lieberman Issues Harsh Criticism Of Obama" -- Whoa! You know it's really bad when Casper Milquetoast says anything harsh about anyone. Shoot, Lieberman still speaks highly of McCain.
---
Online story: "Making good on a promise from last year's State of the Union to help create good-paying American jobs, President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced a new public-private manufacturing hub in North Carolina to develop next-generation power electronics." -- Wait a minute... what Judas 00-bama has basically "created" is a think tank full of well paid people who apparently don't actually manufacture anything. In other words, well-taken-care-of "Friends of Obama". More could be accomplished by giving new tax breaks for research to proven and existing hi-tech companies.
---
The Independent and Libertarian Party would do more for this country by joining the Republican side and working hard to shore up waning conservative ideals than by running candidates in general elections. It is so much easier for Democrats to win a race where only a plurality of voters pick the winner. Look what Perot did.. he gave us Clinton who got only 43% of the votes. As for the 2014 elections, the last thing this country needs is to send any Democrat to (or back to) Washington with a minority of voter support.
---
Online story: " The decision of Washington state and Colorado to legalize a plant directly responsible for the deaths of zero people is "reckless and irresponsible," a top Drug Enforcement Administration official said Wednesday. * “It scares us,” James L. Capra, the DEA chief of operations, said at a Senate hearing on drug cultivation in Afghanistan, according to The Washington Post. “Every part of the world where this has been tried, it has failed time and time again.”" -- Wanna get a pool started as to when this guy is replaced?
---
Online headline/story: " Judge to decide on Detroit's deal to pay off debt * The bankruptcy judge overseeing Detroit's restructuring plans to issue his decision on a renegotiated interest rate swaps deal that could save Detroit millions of dollars. * A spokesman says Judge Steven Rhodes will rule from the bench Thursday afternoon on the $165 million deal reached last month with UBS and Bank of America Merrill Lynch. * The complicated deal before Rhodes involves the city's pledge to use casino tax revenue as collateral to avoid defaulting on pension debt. The swaps let Detroit get fixed interest rates on pension bonds." --Good grief! Detroit has declared bankruptcy on $18 BILLION in debt run up by City em[ployees, and a judge has secured the retired ones' their pensions... Wouldn't securing some jail time for them been more appropriate?
---
Online headline: "Would you pay $31,500 for a hyper-luxe Louis Vuitton handbag?" -- No, my wife would kill me for thinking she had similar tastes as Oprah Winfrey.
---
You know, I'm not usually for "special laws", but in the case of someone spending $31,000.00 on a purse, I do think a "special law" for such should be enacted requiring the purchaser to also make a $31,000.00 donation to her local food bank or homeless shelter. Yeah, "her", no guy is going to knowingly buy his wife or girlfriend a $31,000.00 purse.
---
Remember the little girl in front of the TV in "Poltergeist"? Well, ''he's baaccckkk.. Yes Jeremiah Wright.. yes...Jeremiah Wright is back in action... The Chicago Teachers Union invited him to give a keynote address to them for a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day event, and he took aim at Judas 00-bama, but also compared himself favorably to MLK, Jr. One thing for sure, OObamaCRAP cannot cure Rev Wright's illnesses.
---
That Spencer High school student who ran over the man on a scooter, and dragged the man more than a mile ( and over speed bumps) causing the man to lose an arm. * I want to know how he had a car on school grounds? When my kids went to high school, to drive/park a car on campus, we had to provide proof of insurance to get them permission and a parking permit, and our girls had to complete a driving class and show their drivers' licence. This guy had no license, no insurance and false plates. Somebody's head should roll at Spencer.
---
I found it somewhat hypocritical to see Columbus Regional talking about putting maternity services at it's North campus (old Hughston). I remember how hard Columbus Regional fought St Francis' application because adding more maternity services would create too many "beds" for the needs of the community. What's the difference since St Francis now has those extra beds...does Columbus Regional now think there aren't enough maternity beds?
---
Online headline/story: "Pentagon probes photos that appear to show Marines burning corpses of insurgents in '04 * Some of the photos that were released show an unidentified Marine, his face blurred digitally, pouring gasoline on the dead bodies of slain Iraqi insurgents, while another shows a Marine posing next to a charred skull." -- Hmmm, on the other hand, there were no incidences of US Marines filming the decapitation of a live insurgent... we just get videos from terrorist groups doing that to our soldiers and civilian reporters. From what I understand, our soldiers do not do this anymore.. the same cannot be said for terrorists.
---
Benghazi... reports being aired now are nothing but political manipulation.. Judas 00-bama got past the election; so starting new cover up investigations now will be ebb long before November 2014, and way far before Hillary starts campaigning for 2016. Amidst this new interest, mainstream media will point out it has looked into it. Judas 00-bama will escape impeachment as well, because any efforts for such will pass quickly in the House (in fact, too quickly), and it would also be quickly rejected by the current Senate, and even a reconfigured post 2014 election would not generate a 2/3rds majority of Senators who would convict him.
---
Saw a video of a set of twin brothers from Australia monkeying around with an eight foot Tiger shark. One brother was in the water, protected by a big bird cage, and the other brother was recording it from the boat. It became apparent right quickly that the bird cage was not adequate protection, so twin #1 started flailing the cage at the shark while twin #2 kept recording the event. If I were twin #1, I do believe I'd reevaluate my trust of my twin brother.
---
It's amazing to follow liberal posting on social sites when they openly comment on defense spendings. Libs feel that the DOD budget could be cut 50%, and still provide our current soldiers and vets with their needs, and America could have total security if the right people were in charge. Unfortunately, liberals do not have a successful example of any liberal government idea ever being success with liberal appointees running it.
---
Online quote source: "“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle" -- Hmmm, I guess the antithesis of Excellence is Insanity. Liberals have the habit of putting other liberals in office and things never improve.

Again, e-mail soliciting donations for www.organizingforaction.com are coming from info@barackobama.com. There was a big to-do about him converting his campaign website to a 501 (c) 4 charitable status right after the election in 2012. Why isn't the FEC and the IRS on top of this?
---
Online headline/story: "Agenda 21: California Law Would Abolish Private Property * Part of the United Nations’ Agenda 21 is the abolition of private property. Confiscation of private property will be done under the guise of “sustainability.” They’ll argue that having a large plot of land is an inefficient use of the land, and that your land would be better used if it were developed into something else * Perhaps they’d prefer that a mass transit rail run right through your property. So they’d take your property over through eminent domain, forcing your out of your own house and off your property to somewhere else where they have much more dense housing, and use the land that was previously yours as they saw fit. * These types of tyrannical gestures are being implemented around our country at the local level. In California, there is a law that’s awaiting Governor Brown’s signature that would institute an agency at the county level that could seize private property basically on a whim and using “sustainability” as the excuse. * (Example:) A city mayor or county supervisor forms a new joint powers authority called a “Sustainable Communities Investment Authority” (SCIA), they appoint elected officials to serve on the SCIAs board. * If you live within 1/2 mile of a bus that runs every 15 minutes during peak commutes, or the SMART train or Caltrain in a single family home neighborhood your neighborhood can be targeted by the SCIA as inefficient land use and “blighted” as it is not high density multi-family housing. * The SCIA can then wield the power of eminent domain to purchase unused, for sale or even occupied land in order to build high-density multi-family housing – that it deems to be efficient land use." -- Hey, all you local major visionary land developers.. are you looking closer now than a few minutes ago at Mayor Obamalinson's track record, and her current push to have a high speed rail system to Atlanta? Who's land is she going to "confiscate" to do that?

L-E story: "Superintendent David Lewis has recommended the Muscogee County School Board retain Hatcher, Stubbs, Land, Hollis & Rothschild as its legal counsel, despite critics saying the no-bid contract doesn’t allow other law firms to compete for the opportunity * (Lewis added) “I met with representatives of Hatcher-Stubbs to establish a new method of billing in which charges are billed to the GL account to which they are charged. This will serve two purposes:
“1. I am better able to track and identify legal expenses relative to each specific division. Billing will be reviewed on a monthly basis.
“2. This will provide better insight into areas where training is needed within a division to potentially reduce the need for legal assistance.
“A second control I have implemented is that no one other than a division chief may submit a request for legal assistance.
It's a matter of resource efficiency.. Hatcher Stubbs charges the MCSD only half of its usually billing rates. No hired staff lawyer could provide near the sevices for that money. What the MCSD does need, and it looks like it's being addressed, is knowledge of where legal expenses are piling up. Those areas may require new plicies or replacement of current personnel who can handle situations without calling in the legal team.

Low info voter's L-E "soundoff": " I invite you all to watch the “World According to Dick Cheney” this Saturday on 513/SHOce, wherein he attests to Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and is immediately shown to be a liar." -- Hmmm, why not just turn on Fox News any day, any time it's convenient for you, and watch Judas 00-bama and his spinmeisters constantly demonstrate they are liars?

Could be the same low info voter's L-E "soundoff": "We saw the photo of the opposition of our Mayor. The supporters on the front row, who abuse their budgets (our money) and want more, bow to a Republican who vows to cut their budgets." -- "bow to a Republican who vows to cut their budgets"? Huh? Isn't that a good thing?

L-E's " Thought for Today": “Goodwill is the only asset that competition cannot undersell or destroy.” — Marshall Field, store founder (1834-1906)." -- Hmmm, guess Marshall Field never met a liberal campaign speech writer...

L-E editorial headline/content: "‘Slave’ comparison trivializes genuine historical wrongs * If the Rev. Richard Jessie was just being metaphorical at Tuesday’s Columbus Council meeting when he accused the city of using “slave labor” in the city’s Public Works Department, it didn’t sound metaphorical to most people hearing it. It sounded quite literal, over the top and way over the line." -- You can knock me over with a feather right now.. I just read a Ledger-Equirer editorial that actually got perspective right... In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if St Francis's Cardic Center had an overflow of new patients his AM.

L-E headline/story: "Apple will refund at least $32.5 million in app case * “You cannot charge consumers for purchases they did not authorize,” said Edith Ramirez, the (FTC) chairman." -- Where was Ms Ramirez a few years ago when parents were charged for their children's text messages in spite of the parents wishes not to have that availability. We, like most parents, felt coerced into signing up for a "text package" in addition to out talk time limits for fear of the double or tripled monthly bills to pay for text messages if we didn't sign up for such. Things did finally change as new packages put text in with the overall package.. but there was a time.....
