Four more states are stimulating (no pun) their economy by cashing in on the marijuana boom. If only the West Virginia Legislature were so smart.

Why do the mayors and chiefs of police of Charleston, South Charleston, Dunbar and surrounding cities allow four, five or more officers to be off the road at the same time eating? There is no good reason to have this many officers parked at one time -- sometimes for an hour or more.

Here's a question: When was the last time the GOP worked with the Democrats? The door swings both ways. If they would vote their values vs. going along with their party, many decisions would lean to the liberal side and we wouldn't have half the problems we face today.

To the readers that think the Democrats caused this economic failures, you and the rest of the Republicans must have been in a coma for the last 12 years. The Republicans caused the downturn under Bush and for the last four years have done everything they can to keep Obama from being successful.

To the person or persons that walked into our garage last night and stole our four-wheeler in Cross Lanes (while my husband and I had walked inside for 10 minutes), you should be ashamed of yourself. You should try getting a job, and you too could have nice things.

When asked questions about issues, many Obama supporters are actually conservative. They support Obama for one reason and one reason only: He's a Democrat. It doesn't matter to many of them he opposes most of their beliefs. Being a loyal Democrat is more important than saving our country.

On "America's Got Talent," a 19-year-old girl she rolls around on the stage and they have eight guys imitating cloggers and they get to stay and they have a fantastic magician that blows up a guy, the piano and everything else, and they get voted off. It's unbelievable.

The matter of Obama's questionable birth certificate is law. The Romney tax record controversy is nothing more than a witch hunt to pull attention away from the fact Obama has been the worst president in history.

Hundreds of West Side residents banded together to rename the new grade school. Only 10 showed up for a meeting about crime in the area. Oh well. The kids can't play outside, but at least they have a new name for their school.

The president's father is "a Marxist communist"? (I'd ask where you heard that, but it's obvious who your sources are.) Do you actually know anything about Marxist philosophy or do you just think the term's an insult?

So the GOP platform has a no-abortion-no-exceptions (no surprise) plank. Doesn't forced childbearing sound like something you're more likely to find in a fascist system than in a republic? Oh well, no more sticky choices if your wife or daughter's life is endangered by taking a pregnancy to term.

To the reader who doubted what he heard on the news, that coal mining jobs had increased under Obama: It's true, but that's not what the coal companies want you to think. Obama also wants to make the companies limit miners' exposure to coal dust. Now just who do you think is paying for the ads saying Obama is an enemy of coal? That's right -- the companies. Don't be fooled. Obama is a friend of coal miners.

Four years ago, James Dobson, of Focus on the Family, asked Republicans to pray for rain on the Democratic convention in Denver when Barack Obama made his acceptance speech. I guess you really do reap what you sow.
