Teachers, administrators, and other school employees, please know you are supported by most citizens. I would favor a local tax increase to replace the pay you are losing by being furloughed. Most of you do a great job, without much thanks.

After all the debating and marching, one final time I remind all that government health care will pass. Because both parties need the taxes in a huge way. Hint: Over time, government and taxes have always grown. Government health care is their way to continue that long-standing history of more government, more taxes. And their fake debates will continue afterward. A winless offering for us.

I would like to thank the gentleman for paying for my tea at Macadoos. You have restored my faith in human nature after a bad day at the office.

The Christmas open house at Central Floral was wonderful. We had such a great time. The decorations were so beautiful and the food was fabulous.

I understand the frustrations that people are feeling about low wages, dangerous jobs, furloughs, no pay raises, etc. I too, am one of those that are currently facing the same issues. On a positive note, if you have a job in the current economy, isn’t that better than no job at all?

I have the perfect solution to the long pick-up lines at school. Let your children ride the school bus. I know there are special occasions where children must be picked up, but the majority of the pick-ups think their children are too good to ride the bus. It would certainly eliminate much of the gas guzzling to have the children ride a bus that already goes to your home.

Until we demand prison life be almost unbearable and so bad that no one wants to go there, they will just keep filling up. We need to take away the luxuries and make them put in eight hours a day doing manual labor at least, then feed them water and bologna sandwiches for meals. They just need to survive, not live the good life.

I'm an avid Lowndes Viking fan that completely loathes the Martin Stadium nickname "Concrete Palace." Let's think of something that's not so lame.
