I can't believe the governor and his wife would degrade Easter by calling it a carnival. The children had no idea why they were celebrating Easter. That was such a shame.

If the IRS isn't going to provide us our tax pamphlets anymore through the mail, the only service they provided anyway, they should at least make them available to us at the U.S. Post Offices like they used to.

    And the reader wrote,

    After everything that has happened the last three years, it should be obvious even to the far-left extremists that Obama and Holder are in the hip pocket of the Black Panther Party.

    Along with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

    And the reader wrote,

    Metropolitan Baptist Church brought shame to Charleston for bringing a hate-filled racist like Jeremiah Wright into our midst.

    He's a hero to those who are too stupid to see him for what he really is. No man of God could hate the way that man hates and claim to be a Christian. You would think that by now, he would have left this land for greener pastures long ago.

    The caller said:The principal in Mason County should be applauded for giving disciplinary action when needed, not taken to court. Let the principals run the school, not the kids.

    To which I respond: Did you see the video??!! The Principal was way out of line!

    That comment about tattoos is pretty amusing, but it would be funnier were it not so idiotic.

    "Wake up NRA, the Dems are going to take our guns, take Jesus out of our homes and let gays destroy the country."
    This is a typical statement by some repub. The last thing the country needs is the NRA making teahead decisions like these for the rest of us.

    I predict a "hung jury" in the Zimmerman case.

    and only christian children would be interested in having some fun on a spring day? Egg decorating began as a spring celebration by the Persians (Iranians). The name "Easter" even comes from a pagan goddess - Eostre. The spring celebrations were co-opted by 2nd century missionaries.

    People who get all hung up on christian stuff and how Pure it should be kept - need to get a life.

    I am really sick of hearing all the political BS over Carol Fouty. Anyone who knows her knows that she trys to help people in any way she can. That's part of her job as she works with the public everyday. I would bet that every magistrate we have has helped people they know in some way. What's so sad about it is that if the people they know really cared about them or their careers they would put them in a position to ask for help to start with.However, I don't know one person who works any kind of public job that does not go out of their way in some circumstance or another to help someone. That's what we do as " humans " That's what we all should do!! I will continue to vote for Carol Fouty just as I always have and I hope the rest of you who have will continue to do so as well.
