Speak Out 9/13/13

Disaster declaration

Thank you, President Obama for declaring a number of Missouri counties a disaster area as a result of recent floods even though, politically speaking, all of Missouri remains a disaster area for you.

HIV story

The Southeast Missourian is really hard up for news. Can you not put something on the front page other than the person exposing other people to HIV? Enough is enough. There are more important news items. For a change, why not have some feel-good news on the front page and put the HIV exposer story on the back page?

Syria, abortion

John Kerry is really worked up about the loss of life in Syria. I wonder how he feels about abortion.

Tax increase

After reading the Southeast Missourian about addressing the property tax levy, people had better keep their eyes and ears open because instead of getting a decrease, we're going to get an increase on our property taxes, and with the recession I don't think it's fair.

Humorous story

I just read the article written by Emily Priddy, "Confused chickens win contest." It was the most humorous thing I have read in a long time. She's quite the humorist. It was great.

Uses for game

We should use all the wild game harvested. Deer skins and antlers could be used to make a buckskin jacket, having pieces of the antlers as buttons. Duck and pheasant feathers could be used as trout flies. Their iridescence may catch lots of fish.

Obama clueless

Mr. President has done it this time, I'm afraid. He's threatening to pull out the big guns and claims to be clear. It's clear to me that he doesn't have a clue. He should pack his bags and go back to Chicago.
