These are advisers?

Obama one time said he didn’t understand his daughter’s 7th grade homework, yet he gives financial advice to the British. And Vice President Biden gives political advice to Iraq. We are in trouble.

Trump or nobody

Trump was not my first, second or even third choice, but given Hillary's proven history of failures in Libya, Russia and Iran and her being so untrustworthy, he appears to be the only option left.

More useful info, please

Thanks for publishing the salaries of the two local governments. Now how about publishing the salaries of the folks heading the local charities.

Voters, cheer him up

Trump the Grump has reason. I don't want him to be grumpy any more. Let's help him win for America.

At our expense

Most park and recreation fees increasing. Golf course subsidies of $300,000 and Cooper Creek Tennis subsidy of $500,000; 89-hour operation of the Aquatic Center subsidy to the tune of $1.24 million. Huh?

Inflated payroll

How does Phenix City justify these grossly overpaid individuals in a city 1/6th the size of Columbus? Unbelievable.

Congratulations

Getting off of drugs or alcohol in a clinic shouldn’t be something you are ashamed of. You should be proud.

Great title, anyway

I am surprised and disappointed that Chris Johnson didn’t mention the Georgia rock band who sings the “Macon Georgia Greasy Hambone Blues.”

Find out for yourself
