Sound sysem

“Great to have football back on Friday night at Mack Tharpe Stadium; not so great to have the sound system back with all the crackles, pops, interruptions and seeming long periods of silence with no play-by-play action. With all the money poured into our sports program and two back-to-back state titles, you would think we could afford better. Embarrassing!

Volunteer

“Whoever is concerned about Cox Elementary consider volunteering or becoming employed there since you are the solution god!!!

Fake news

“Harvey is the 64th hurricane to hit Texas since 1851. I’m waiting to read the horror stories next week in newspapers about all the awful Federal response to Hurricane Harvey due to Trump’s budget cuts that haven’t happened. The only thing we can rely on is the consistency of the fake news services being uncompromisingly fake.

Pipe dream

“Term limits for politicians is a pipe dream. It would require a constitutional amendment and such amendments are controlled by elected politicians who are not about to vote themselves out of a job. The framers of the Constitution should have placed more restrictions on politicians, like term and spending limits. Nothing will change at this late date.

Global warming

“This global warming, you know, that is causing all these hurricanes is only being promoted by weather people to get more government money. It’s difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends upon his not understanding it.

NASA

“Over the past 10 years there have been 69 Atlantic hurricanes but during that time no hurricanes of Category 3 or higher have hit the U.S. coastline. Such a string of lucky years is likely to happen only once in 270 years, according to a NASA study. Yeah buddy, NASA cannot be wrong.

Just white people

“Instead of DwainWalden writing about his white country life in the racist South, why don’t he write about the real problems we have here! You only funny to the white people!

Observation

“The new job description of the newly retired police chief sounds just like what he was supposed to be doing the entire time at his old one.
