Speak Out 11/13/14
To the people who are tailgating other people on Old Sprigg Road at this time of the year: You need to quit following them so closely. The deer are bad to jump right out in front of another car. I had one jump out in front of me. I had to put my brakes on and was almost rear-ended by another driver. Please, give us some room...
Do not tailgate

China, America
Regardless of who's in power in Washington, by 2016 our No. 1 in the world economic status will be replaced by China.
Glasses, Medicare
Yes, I think the state needs to do a better job as far as Medicaid/Medicare providing eyeglasses for people. A $69 frame is not suitable. I don't understand why Medicaid/Medicare people cannot get a $79 or $89 frame. Recently, my son got a $69 pair provided by the government, and the lens won't even stay in the glasses. Please contact your legislators and tell them to up it to $79 or $89 frame, because, you know, we don't need our poor walking around looking like they're destitute. We need to care as a society.

County service
In previous years the county IT department would have election results posted on its website within 15 minutes of the polls closing. Election night they didn't post the results until an hour after the polls closed. This is yet another example that the ever-increasing taxes over at the county administration building do not result in better service.
Talk radio
In light of the election results, conservative talk show hosts are going to have to shift gears again and stop their ongoing observations about low-information voters and the implied ignorance of the American voter and once again start praising the collective wisdom of the American people.
They voted
Yes, that program that Obama had, "Get out the vote," well, looks like it worked pretty good, because now they came out and voted him out.
