Sound Off for Sunday, November 29, 2105

Pick of the day

Thanksgiving was 26 days past the extended deadline for the Whittlesey Road widening project completion date. Anybody want a second chance at changing their "pool date" as to when it will be officially finished?

Pretty big orphans

Widows and orphans? Every video I've seen of Muslims marching to Europe shows mostly grown men. Some of the Paris attackers were orphans born in France and Belgium.

Spread the talent pool

Since the recent test scores show that Blackmon Road School is the only one rated as proficient, shouldn't the teachers there be transferred to the other schools?

The true meaning of terror

I'm sure that the ISIS terrorists are terrified and wet their pants every time Obama makes a speech.

I don't qualify

I do not want to have to pay to take care of refugees. I need help myself, but I "make too much money."

Too much time on their hands?

If watching men go through their garbage is the only thing those women have to do, someone needs to inform them that there are other things more important in this world.

Puzzled by its absence

Please bring back the old Cryptoquote.

Collective culpability

ISIS grew out of Al Qaeda under Bush. The blood is on all of the Bushaholics.

Divine intervention?

I sometimes wonder how civilization survived for thousands of years without Obama's intelligence.

Time to punt

Mr. Jeb just needs to go ahead and withdraw. It's embarrassing.

Not what I signed on for

The Ledger-Enquirer is supposed to be a newspaper, get it? News! Why an extra charge for even more advertising? Newspapering thieves.

Or invaded in the first place?

Just remember, America. We wouldn't have this mess in Syria and with ISIS if we hadn't pulled out of Iraq.

Big difference

When Jesus was a refugee, we didn't have people walking around with suicide vests.

Hoping for the best

The press release from the St. Francis Hospital Board of Trustees on the completion of the sale of the hospital to LifePoint: Phew! It's almost done and all's well that ends well we think.
