Sound Off for Sunday, December 6, 2015
Pick of the day
Yes, I'm blaming Christians. If we did just a smidgeon of what our Lord commissioned us to do, this world would be so much brighter today. And I'm starting with the man in the mirror.
'Take out the trash' day
If you really want to know what is going on in the country, just pay attention to the document dumps on Friday afternoons or the days before a holiday.
'Limited' government indeed
Republicans want a government so small that they can drown it in the bathtub. Just enough for the one percent.
Humble request
In Harris County we don't care if you say happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa or even take a pilgrimage to Mecca. All we want is the ability to say Merry Christmas without liberal condemnation.
Pick a number
Now is an opportune time for the NRA to establish a lottery to predict the date and number of casualties of the next mass shooting. Investors would be easy to find.
Well, some football coaches
Pity we don't hold our elected officials (including president) to the high standards we do college football coaches.
Too gentle for him
The demented cretin who gunned down a Waffle House server because she asked him not to smoke deserves a more ghastly death than lethal injection.
Climate doesn't recognize boundaries
President Obama to Mitch McConnell: It makes no difference if the next President is Democrat or Republican. He/she must be in unison with all other nations' global warming guidelines. We are not an island.
A right and a responsibility
The right to vote is a privilege but also a promise that one will educate himself on the matter before voting.
Ingenious plan of attack
I said it before and I'll say it again: Let's bomb them with pumpkin seeds and pray for rain.
As what you can do for your contributors
"Ask not what your country can do for you " does not apply to Congressional Republicans. They will put thousands of us in the line of fire while they "abet" their employer tax-dodgers.
Truly inspiring
I don't know what the stores would do without the way we celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.
Growth industry
As long as there is money to be made, the guns will always be rampant in this society. A death here and there does not faze the seller.
