Sound Off

Sound Off for June 1, 2017

Ultimate justice

If my children are ever murdered by a suicide bomber, I will have one consolation: I will know they're in Heaven, while their killer will be burning for eternity in the fires of Hell.

Conspicuous exemption

Newt Gingrich's third wife (the one Gingrich was fooling around with while his second wife had cancer) has been appointed Ambassador to the Vatican. Is there anyone left Trump hasn't insulted? Yep, Vladimir Putin.

Salary schedules

If CCG can afford double-digit pay increases for its highest-paid employees, then certainly it can afford to give everyone else a 40-hour "bonus" to cover the extra week without a paycheck.

Just echo chambers

Whenever an editorial or Sound Off uses verbiage like "dysfunctional," "incompetence" or "boob," I stop reading. Supporters of both parties are guilty of this. To convince someone, be civil. Otherwise you're preaching to the choir.

Not up to Fox standards?

For those of you who were not gifted with the 52 genes that help determine intelligence, don't worry — you can always apply for a job at CNN.
