Crime lab

“The crime lab is due to be closed in March. Why doesn’t the city and county get together to see if it is feasible to own it. Lowndes county is building their own. We can contract the services to other counties that would have to send to Macon. Just a thought.

Go Pack!

“Packer fans head to Atlanta Friday. Stephenson's stadium holds 15,600 people. Let's make sure we have lots of Colquitt County people in it.

The chief

“No money for the police department? The Observer noted that under Chief Bedal, Norman Park had a self- sufficient police department. I guess he wasn't that bad a chief after all.

Proud

“I have never been more proud of my community than I was this past Friday night at Westlake High School. Never mind the sportsmanship and discipline displayed by the players and coaches. I'm talking about the way we looked and behaved before/after the game. Tip of the hat Colquitt Countians and ‘Go Pack Go’.

Senseless?

“Don't you hate when the media describes something as a ‘senseless’ crime? Is there such a thing as a’ sensible’ crime?

Water issues

“NASA shouldn't have reported that water is on the moon. Alabama and Florida will sue them for it.

Holiday

“Please everyone, let's be sure to say 'Merry Christmas' and not 'Happy Holidays' next month. ‘Twas the night before the holiday and all thru the house...' just doesn't sound right, does it?

Shop local

“The holiday season is upon us. Please keep the local merchants in mind, especially with the economy being as weak as it is. Support the local guys. We’re all in this together.

Whose duties?

“The problem is the mayor and council of Norman Park want to run the Police Department. Until they realize that a police department needs to be run by the chief and not the mayor, they will always have problems.

The money

“Could someone explain why Obama hasn't got the $70 billion he said Iraq had as a surplus? I remember him campaigning about it and, as usual, blaming Bush. It's been almost a year. That money would come in handy.

'No' to incumbents
Dear editor:
Joe Biden came to Cowtown (Ft. Worth) to raise funds for his boss Obama. Picked up $125,000 from some "Fat Cat" liberals, part of the millionaire's raising Obama's teleprompter fund to over $225 million.

Free trees for you
Dear editor:
Moultrie is such a beautiful town and one of the reasons is our wonderful trees. From the courthouse to the residential areas and throughout the county, we are surrounded with a marvelous array of magnificent trees and forests.

Feds can't fix it
Dear editor:
Ten years ago, the federal government, Republicans and Democrats, passed the “No Child Left Behind” program. This program was billed as a fix-all for our education system. Now, 10 years later, the same people label the program a failure.

Cotton and philosophy on the roadside
One can go to a very expensive college and pay a bundle of money taking philosophy classes, or he can just keep his eyes open and be alert to his surroundings and collect quite an array of thought provoking ideas.

Will it happen here?
Dear editor:
When America was young, a famous political philosopher from France visited our country to try to find out the secret of her greatness. (Yes, America was great. She supplied many other nations with money, just as she’s still doing today — nations who hate us and are slowly taking over our country).

Exclamation point
Again a bill is being pushed in Congress that specifically will say that lawmakers may not do trading based on non-public information obtained in office.

Something's wrong
Dear editor:
The Colquitt County Middle School’s athletic program is nepotistic and political.
