Sound Off for December 24, 2017

No place like home for the holidays

I’m not going to spend my Christmas in an airport terminal. A phone call will do for me, thank you very much.

One-sided risk

If the tax bill goes wrong the GOP is possibly dead as a party. If not, the Dems and the media will not be any worse off, as lying is an expectation now.

A civic, not just city, responsibility

Great job by city maintenance crews cleaning up brush along Whitesville Road! Now we all need to do our part and pick up the litter of those who don’t know any better.

It’s becoming frighteningly clear

I never understood how over time the German people became sheep before WWII. I now understand.

Growth industry?

Heard Roy Moore is starting a new career. He couldn’t win the election so he is going to start developing shopping malls.

My ship has come in

Now that the Republican tax deal has passed, I can't decide if I want a Mercedes or a Cadillac. I might buy both, and a Learjet, too. God bless our dear leader and GOP Congress.

Seeing the payoffs already

Because of the tax cut, AT&T, Boeing, Comcast, Wells Fargo, others, giving $1,000 bonuses, spending hundreds of millions on employees and communities, raising minimum wage, spending billions creating thousands of jobs. And Democrats opposed it.

A blessedly peaceful day

I’m ecstatic watching the Columbus news and there are no murders.
