The silver lining

George Will wrote that there will be a smaller Republican turnout in November, and Leonard Pitts wrote that many of Bernie's supporters will boycott. The good news is that there will be shorter lines.

Some ‘access’

CCG "increasing access" to the Health and Wellness Center is like making Pintos available to people who had chosen Cadillacs. Except now the Cadillacs aren't available and the Pintos cost more than the Cadillacs did.

Blank check?

The sheriff is a constitutional officer and the chief law enforcement officer of the county. Can he legally require the local government to fund his office to the amount he determines?

Order now

Want your "Dump Trump" bumper sticker? Call 1/800-GOP. They're going fast.

State parallel

Josh McKoon is the Ted Cruz of the Georgia legislature. Everybody hates him but it is not his fault.

Look familiar?

Newspaper article: Greedy Greeks' economy collapsing due to "economic justice" laws forced on employers. Adjacent article: U.S. businesses suffering due to new overtime rules and other "economic justice" laws.

Morning fare

I love my Ledger-Enquirer. I couldn’t enjoy my bowl of Cheerios without it.
