Sound Off for May 20, 2016

Friendly fire

So Mr. Rhodes claims executive privilege to avoid Congress, but will speak to the privileged few in the press when it suits him. The Spartans said “with your shield or on it.” Not “under it.”

Affluenza?

A lot of people in Columbus are making a whole bunch of money, based on the number of Porsches I have seen around town lately.

Get over it

I have not heard of men who had their anatomies changed to that of a woman, and dress as women, being traumatized by using women’s locker rooms. Wear a towel if you look freaky.

Crunching numbers

Seems like VW owners should be happy that their vehicles have better performance because of the software tweaks.

Would we just let it go?

So two Chinese fighter jets buzz a U.S. surveillance plane in the South China Sea and our government complains. What right does the U.S. have to fly spy planes over China?
