Rant and Rave for 12/12/12

MOULTRIE — You lost, Dick

“Talk about someone beating a dead horse, columnist Dick Morris continues to explain why Romney lost the election. Get over it Dick, the majority voted for Obama. Morris made such a big splash on his landslide prediction that he wound up with much egg on his face, detailing the fact that he’s not the expert he thinks he is. He should just eat the egg and rationalize that it’s rich in protein and quit boring us with his ‘what-went-wrong’ analyses."

Now it's gifted

“Football season is over and we can get past the football versus academics for a while. Now all we have to do is hear about the ‘gifted’ program ideas."

Others' words

“Very eloquently put Mr. Psalmond. Strangely I found the commentary you offered with your signature on a website authored by a Robert Stedman."

Great talent

“WOW! The Christmas band concert blew me away. I was really impressed with the staff/teachers. They were professional and fun! Who knew we could go and enjoy so much talent in one place!"

We are blessed

“What a wonderful job Mrs. Savage, Mrs. Wyles, and Mr. Matthews did with the students to night at the band concert! I cannot wait to see what is in store for our county in the coming years! We have been blessed!"

Dope smoking

“Dope smoking is not only going on in the parking lot of the high school but my son said they do it in the bathrooms all the time too."

Turn on lights

“As a follow-up to last week’s rant about headlights, It's another very foggy morning on Mon. Dec 10. When I wrote about the necessity of using them on days like this, It's not so that you can see, but so that I can see you. Come on people, turn 'em on!!. It's not like it burns any juice from your batteries."

Observation

“I live in a modest home and follow a budget to make ends meet. There are pastors in this town who live in luxurious homes and drive expensive cars. The money we tithe should go to the poor and needy and not support an extravagant lifestyle."

Need bathrooms

“We have a nice walking trail. Now would it be possible if we had restrooms out there?"

Rural America

“Rural America is becoming irrelevant in political arenas because you no longer employ the voting public.

"You get your workers from Mexico, we buy our food from Argentina.

"Since your employees do not pay Federal taxes, why should you get Federal money to stay in business?"

Great performance
Dear Editor,
You don't have to live in New York, Paris or London to experience world-class cultural events. You can do that right here in Moultrie, Georgia.

Tribute to my dad
Dear editor:
Growing up in South Georgia every little girl thinks of their daddy as their prince; I am no different. And I believe his years of sacrifice, dedication and unconditional love for me is a story worth telling.

Oh joy! The Turtle Man will return
Great news! The Turtle Man is coming back for another season on television!
And yes, I’m being a little facetious here. It’s a ridiculous show, but apparently it’s entertainment for some people.

The kind of stuff that happens in dictatorships
Distrust of government secrecy has been elevated to an exceptional level with the disclosure the Justice Department covertly examined two months of Associated Press phone records to determine who leaked details to the AP about a foiled terrorist plot.

And would you like fries with that?
Most of us have seen the Chick-fil-A signs that urge us to “eat more chicken.” So would you ever expect to see one that says, “eat more crickets?”

Something to enjoy
Dear editor,
On Sunday I had the pleasure of witnessing an Atlanta Braves game up close and in person. I have been to a Braves game before but every time always feels like the first.
