Want fries

with that?

What is going on? This is a concerned citizen calling in about the light bill. First off, how do they expect people to pay it when our economy is so terrible? I know it’s only $8.50 extra a month. That’s eight double cheeseburgers. That’s for a starving family. How are they going to keep raising our bills on us like this? This is ridiculous.

Crossed line

My definition of crossing the line is parents saying rude and overbearing things to other students, coaches and teachers. Shame on those people.

Leave a quarter

This Obama administration is really taxing people, telling farmers what they can grow and what they can’t grow. When you use your bathroom, make sure there is not a slot in there where they’re going to tax you for using your own bathroom.

No left turn

Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show yesterday that the gunman that killed the guard at the Holocaust Museum is a product of the political left. That’s stupid. I thought Rush Limbaugh had some sense about him. How can you be a product of the left and hate everything the left stands for?

The big time

I’m another Downtown booster who is 60 years old who can remember the good times down there. The only thing I think they can do with Downtown now is make it the entertainment capital of the Midwest. They could bring in so many acts, good and great bands and local bands because they’ve got so much entertainment down there now. They can make antique shops like Weston, Mo. The revenue you could bring in is enormous.

Wipe out

I’m not against progress, but I would like to voice my opinion concerning the school board system and everything that is going on there with the finances. I see down by Central High School they have wiped out several houses in the area and they have constructed a new parking lot for the kids.

Can’t be done

There is no way to circumvent the Ten Commandments. I dare say, since Christianity became a major religion, there has probably been more killing done by Christians in the name of

Christianity than in any other cause. It sounds like someone is trying to circumvent something.

Your fault

To the person who wrote in about “New czar”: Congress does not belong to Obama. The people of this country voted their congressmen in. So it is your Congress.
