I'm calling to thank the person who found my clutch purse in Cape Girardeau and turned it in to the police department. I appreciate it very, very much. Thank you.
Every time I leave Walmart in Cape I wonder why there is an old boy sitting there on the curb, smoking his cigarettes, drinking his drink, working so hard at not working. I think if one's going to drink and smoke they can afford to buy groceries. Get a clue; stop your addictions and things might look up.
What else is new? Mitt Romney used to denounce attempts at implementing fair trade policies with China as protectionist and dangerous. Now he is embracing the idea of fair trade vis a vis China as fabulous.
The new Franklin School is wonderful, but there are a couple of things that need to be addressed. One is the speeding on Keller Avenue. When children are getting out of school it gets really dangerous. There should be something to slow these motorists down.
Mike Jensen's widely read, perhaps viral, pre-election attack on American voters as being unsophisticated and consisting of uninformed citizens who sit around and stare at the TV seems in part designed to prepare his passionate conservative followers for what he deems will be a catastrophic Obama victory.
I agree with the reader who asked people not to burn. Our homes are close together and we have had to close our windows on nice cool days and turn on the air conditioning to breathe. One person burning causes everyone else illness. If we are working in our yard or the kids are playing we have to gather everyone into the house and stay locked inside. Our kids should be able to play outside on nice days without breathing toxins of whatever is burning next door.
David Limbaugh's recent "10 reasons why Romney will win" column wasn't completely convincing, but it did give me some reassurance that Romney will carry Utah.

I wonder what Pu$ol's plans are for the post season?
Probably spend time with his family and raise money for his various charities.
I believe Romney was selected to be the Republican candidate for President as a figure head, with the hopes of the Republican party to rule behind the scenes. Though the selected scape goat may well be the person to serve as a puppet, the Republicans neglected to realize the intelligence of their constituents. Did they not know we would see his inability to make a commitment as a weakness?
Mitt Romney witnessed the death of his brother-in-law's sister from an illegal abortion, and stated the belief that abortion should be safe and legal. This was his stance in 1994 and 2002 when running for office. Suddenly, when working for the Republican nomination in 2007 he announced that he was pro-life and wanted the repeal of Roe V. Wade in favor of state regulations. ???
Romney's views on gun laws have changed. He stated "We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts; I support them. I won't chip away at them; I believe they protect us and provide for our safety." He even signed a permanent assault weapon ban law. He is on record supporting the Brady Registration Act, Mandatory Firearms ID and the Federal Feinstein Gun Ban. Where does he stand now???
What is Romney's position on same-sex unions and gay marriage? While campaigning for the Senate in 1994 Romney held the endorsement of the gay group, log cabin Republicans. But, do the Republicans aggressively oppose gay-rights (ala Ann's "real" marriage), or are they shifting, left?
All politicians are puppets of their party.
Stop addictions: Stop and offer him a job and see him run.
School issues: There are no police to patrol Franklin School since they are giving parking tickets at the grade schools.
Jensen column: Jensen who?
Limbaugh column: Limbaugh who?
The Great Debate tonight at 8pm on all channels, time to watch the Cardinal game and get them ready for Atlanta on Friday.
Great debate high points in advance:
O- me good, Romney bad
R- me good, Obama bad
O- dems good, repubs bad
R- repubs good, dems bad
O- Romney hates the poor
R- Obama hates the rich
O- I love the middle class
R - I love the middle class more
O- I love the middle class more X 2
R - I love the middle class X infinity
O- I made the country better
R - Obama made the country worse
O- I made FreedomFadingFast puke.
R - I made FreedomFadingFast puke first
Blah, blah, blah
Freedom, your defense of Pu$ols and his charity/family excuse makes me puke. I laugh as he sits on his pot of gold not even being the 3rd best player on his new team. Coulda been a hero,coulda had a statue he didn't have built for himself, coulda been the new "Man". Threw that all away for a few dollars more. His vanity and selfish pride,probably egged on by his agents,pushed him to sell out. The only thing he is good for is a bad example of what is wrong with professional sports
As how much $ an athlete makes or doesn't make has no bearing on my income, I don't give a s@!t what Albert makes.
As whether or not Albert gets a statue has no bearing on my happiness or well being, I don't give a rat's @ss if he or anyone else builds him a statue. Get over your wealth envy. Pro sports is nothing more than entertainment, pro athletes nothing more than entertainers.
Romney held the endorsement of the gay group, log cabin Republicans.

And Obama has Hugo Chavez's.
Freedom,Truly sorry to s##t in your cereal over Albert. Your *&^%$#@ laced diatribe made my point exactly. No envy here. I don't like liars and he is one. I am sure he does plenty of good things with charities but he also shuns little kids asking for autographs. He only sells them. My biggest beef is he stood with his World Championship team and (may I paraphrase)"It's not about the money,it's about this team and this trophy". That is about the time HIS $$ envy took over. Money only knocks ones moral compass off due north.
To the person who called with the thank you article, you are very welcome i am glad you have your purse back, my dog is the one who pulled me to it behind my apartment.
To the person who photocopied the "Burning problem" article from Speakout and mailed it to me with no return address. I will continue burning my trash any time I need to, until it becomes illegal in my area to do so. My suggestion to you is to continue staying indoors the 30 mins it takes for the trash to burn, as I chose to do when my neighbors are burning leaves, trash, limbs, etc. I am sure I know who the whiner is, but my wish would be that you put your name on the envelope, so I could burn only when you are at home. THANK YOU!!!
