" what a night for baseball. the doubledays home opener was a great time even though they didn"t pull out the victory! "

" "Exit strategy", "Phased withdrawal", "Strategic redeployment"... all these phrases sound cool and militaristic but they are simply PC terms for surrender! The Democrats/Socialists just have to get us the heck out of there before this thing becomes a complete success and they wind up looking like the worthless fools that they are. "

" Why is the Citizen conducting a pole as to whether the City Council should change its meeting time for the summer. I watched the replay of the meeting from last Thursday, and it was clear to me that there wasn't going to be any changes to the meeting times this summer.

" Hahahaha..... parents using marijuana to reward young children for good behavior....to hell with that, the parents should reward themselves by smoking it!! More people should smoke, we have way too many wound up people in our society.

What is going on with our planning and our city fathers? "

" It's nice to know that County Legislator Dave Pappert considers the County emloyees a "drain". Perhaps he should look no further than his own colleagues, Ann Petrus who "resigned" for a day so she could receive her retirement benefits, and the rest of the legislature for ignoring the people and going forth with a County Manager for $80,000 who will only be a figurehead.

" I would love to see a casino on one of the now and soon to be vacant sites where our factories have gone. After years of losing our citizens to better lands and oppertunities, i think that drastic situations need drastic changes to turn us right side up again. "
