ATM complaint

A person must be so fortunate if he has nothing more to worry about than someone being on foot at an ATM. Perhaps he should be thankful he has a car and the other person may not be so fortunate.

Stealing Mickey

I hope that whoever took the Mickey Mouse ball out of my yard is happy. I would have given it to you had you asked. I guess it was more fun to steal. Did you try to take the Mickey Mouse standing on the pole? Maybe you were shocked to find it nailed down. Because of people like you, I learned if you want to keep something in your yard, you nail it down or lock it up like Fort Knox. Just think of the commandment you broke just to steal an old rubber ball. Was it really worth it?

Rust column

Wow! In reading the things Gary Rust highlighted in reference to U.S. foreign policy, Mr. Rust makes Sen. John McCain seem like an isolationist.

Rose-colored glasses

While Obama uses rose-colored glasses to view the economy, there is something definitely wrong when your health insurance monthly premium and purchasing gas to get to and from work eats up one half of your monthly disposable income. The liberals would be going nuts if this was going on with a Republican administration.

Raise the road

Is there some reason why MoDOT won't raise up the road 200 feet on Highway 177 that floods? They've put barricades up and they won't let anyone get to their houses. It cuts off fire protection. For 200 feet of road, they shut down the whole highway. I'd like to find out why they don't raise that road up when they can spend money elsewhere to put up cables to keep deer from going across.
