Sound Off

Sound Off for December 11, 2016

Couldn’t take it?

Where is my friend Hillary Clinton? Did she go to Canada too?

Tomorrow’s excuses

Four years from now, when we're choking from polluted air and women are dying from back-alley abortions, some will say, "But I couldn't vote for a candidate with a private e-mail server."

Summary justice

Anyone murdering a law enforcement officer should receive an automatic death penalty.

Bring it on

Rain, rain, rain. I don’t mind. I was so happy it rained I just stood out there in it.

Time to move on

No more Sound Offs about the election. It’s over. Get on with your life.

If only ...

Yes, you're right — the election's over, but the trouble is just beginning.

‘Populist’ choice?

Trump’s nomination of Steven Mnuchin, a former head of Goldman Sachs who helped develop the risky banking practices leading to the Great Recession, belies Trump’s promise to fight the influence of Wall Street.

Doctrinal rationalizing

Congratulations, America — we’ll soon have a First Lady who has posed nude in a thong, and all the “good Christians” think that’s just fine!

Easier said ...

If you never speak to anyone, you'll be safe. Stay away from idiots!
