Sound Off for January 29, 2018

Just pennies

I don't ask for much. Just pay me a penny today. And then double that each day for month. And then I'll work the rest of the year for free. Deal?

Credibility gap

Hobby Lobby's ultra-Christian owners who refused to pay for employees’ contraceptives find themselves in trouble with the law. Stolen religious artifacts from Middle Eastern countries ended up in their possession. They should go to prison.

Why do you care?

Bible thumpers, if I have a drink at 11 a.m. on Sunday, please tell me how this affects you and your daily routines.
