Sorry to deflate your “mean” balloon, but Michele Bachmann received her Swiss citizenship automatically when she married her Swiss husband. How can women get ahead in this country when they are being beat up all the time — and by their own?

Wow, blame the teachers union for everything. … Folks it's not just them, it's the parents, the administrators, the system, and, o-o-o-o-o, shock and surprise, it's society, too! We have allowed the schools to push the public out in the name of privacy.

Looking at the … data on city salaries, looks like … (most) of the highest-paid individuals are in public safety. No wonder the city's budget is so large.

I note that of the phone listings in the new phone book, 16 of 36 numbers that I checked have been eliminated. I also note that the previous … phone book had 234 pages of residential listings. The new … book has 134 pages? Type is smaller, but many numbers are missing.

Have you heard the way young women talk? Their voices seem so harsh and flat, more like a growl.

I think (U.S. Rep.) John Boehner (Ohio) is way off focus and perhaps he should not represent the GOP at the national level. He is too shallow. Of course “jobs and economy” are important. … We need to attack on every front that is repulsive about Obama.
