Our dead icons

Now Bill O'Reilly has gone and killed George Patton. Who's next ... Frank Zappa?

Shortcut

Maybe the NRA should just donate guns to criminals so the criminals won't have to do so much damage to pawn shops and other gun stores when they break into them to steal their guns.

Moot now

The real GOP question is which "Republican" candidate will suck up to the Koch Brothers fortune the most — will it be Ryan or Trump?

Also moot

Do you really want a sheriff who can’t follow simple instructions?

Has a point

Although I don't agree with his policies, Bernie is the last honest politician in the race. Why wouldn't his supporters be upset by the corrupt system of superdelegates rather than the people determining the outcome?

No opposition

When your own record is just too bad to run on, get your opponents disqualified.

Political protest?

The Apple stock slide could be due to consumers boycotting Apple because Capt. Cook wouldn't cooperate. The evidence was obtained anyway. His phone couldn't protect the killers.

Manpower threat

Just saw a quote on Fox. Trump is telling white male voters they have to vote for him because women are taking away their power and masculinity. Please explain that to your wives and daughters.
