Sound Off for May 3, 2016

Down pat

President Obama attends last Correspondents Dinner as comedian in chief? He has had that role for the last eight years.

Not wild

Trump? The only thing he’s got going for him is the Ego Card.

Sound familiar?

A history quiz: Mobsters wanting to capture Phenix City government would likely succeed if they could appoint two key elected officials. It’s happened before. Name the two offices.

Off duty?

Sheriff Darr is supposed to protect the community, not rob it of its money.

Not a raise

Mayor Tomlinson, cost of living increases that don't even cover half the additional cost of health insurance, let alone any other rising costs, are pay cuts. I can no longer afford to work for CCG.

Easy call

I turned 68 on May 1. It's either "Shop till I drop" or "Work till I croak." For me it's a no-brainer.

Ugly echoes

I read in Huffington Post of a move to ban the movie “Gone With the Wind.” I wonder if we will be expected to burn Margaret Mitchell's classic book following the example of Nazi Germany.

Allegiance issue

If those illegal aliens are so anxious to stay in America, why aren't they waving American flags at Trump protests instead of Mexican ones?
