Sound Off for December 9, 2017

Or maybe not

I'll bet there’s a lot of Viagra being thrown in the Dumpster at the Capitol.

Not unlawful

In Alabama, 14-year-olds can get married with parental permission. It was not uncommon for 14- to 16-year-old girls to marry older men decades ago. Disturbing to most of us now, but legal then.

Seems possible

Yeah, I can believe there could be cannonballs on Mars. That Red Jacket was one heck of a gun!

Permanent stench

If Alabamians elect Roy Moore to the Senate, there is nothing Nick Saban and The Crimson Tide could do to wash the stink off of your state. Good luck.

Accountability

America needs a forensic audit of all congresspersons' office budgets as more info comes to light of sexual charges and payoffs made with tax dollars. Call/email your Representatives/Senators.

Regardless ...

There are those people who think the liberal news media are an offshoot of the Democratic Party. Others say that it is the reverse. Either way it's the blind leading the blind.

Man up, Jeff

I have great respect for Attorney General Sessions, but he needs to take charge. Soon.

Not just one

Just curious — does the person who keeps writing Sound Offs addressed to "you evangelicals" actually attend church?
