Sound Off for April 18, 2016

Out of position?

If you're way out in left field, that centerfielder appears to be in right field. If you're way out in right field, that centerfielder appears to be in left field. Try the home plate view.

Big constituency

Trump is the candidate of American psychopaths. And apparently we have millions of them.

Identity pride

I was born a human male; however, I identify as being a Labrador retriever. Thus, I am requesting my right to use trees and fire hydrants when I need to use the restroom.

Skeptical

I wonder how many people with handicapped stickers on their cars are really handicapped.

Think gender

Out of roughly 8.74 million species, why are humans the only one whose sex is determined by mental capacity instead of reproductive capacity?

Glad to help

If the city will sell me a 1.75 acre parking lot in the Historic District for $50,000, I will be happy to run a valet parking business there. New jobs, no construction headaches, everyone’s happy.

Lose-lose

Really sad state of the Democratic Party when your only two choices are between a socialist (free stuff for everyone until my money runs out) and a criminal.

The upside

I see Cruz is trying to steal delegates he couldn't win in a vote. If elected, maybe he can steal back some of the money going to China.
