Our Nobel Peace Prize president had better earn the award or return the $1 million.

Mr. President, you are not Rocky. Stop running up and down Air Force One steps!

There would be less war if more kings, generals, archdukes, czars, shahs, ayatollahs, imams, ministers, marshals, fuhrers, industrialists, CEO's, and politicians died than privates.

An honored combat veteran U.S. Marine sits in a Mexican jail, and we cry about kids being smuggled into this country.

If Michael Sam played a great game, Southern attitudes about homosexuality will change regardless of religious issues. Football is religion here.

Road for rich developers, $9 million. Health insurance for teachers, $0. Heads should roll.

It's funny the city could pave Lower Mill Road and can't do squat from railroad tracks on Boy Scout to Highway 153. Potholes are unreal.

When the W Road is blocked for some reason, why don't the police block access to it immediately? No having to turn around half way.

Hamilton County and Bradley County motor vehicle operators, the lever on the left side of your steering wheel is a blinker. Use it.

Rhonda Thurman must have the thinnest skin of any politician. Anyone who speaks against her will is bullied into silence.

To the thief who stole the solar light from the Cloverdale entrance sign: Did you smile for the camera?

The teachers' union supported Obama, who gave them Obamacare. Now the teachers can't afford health care. That doggone George Bush.

Why didn't they just name it what it really is, Track 29 Amplified Music District?

The worst road in Chattanooga is Tunnel Boulevard, followed by Vance Road from East Brainerd to Airport Connector Road. Can we get these repaved?

Once again the sidewalks running up Hixson Pike have sprouted weeds and grass thick and tall. Use it at your peril. It's an eyesore!

Got a speeding ticket? Arrested for shooting someone? Golly gee. Obey the law. Duh!

VW, are you sure you want to get in bed with greed, corruption and deception, i.e., UAW?

If you move, Comcast will change your email address without notice. You'll have to beg to get it back. Consider this a community service announcement.

My favorite college professor often said, "Selfishness is the root of all adult problems."

Ron Hart has been a wonderful addition to the paper. Things are so bad, it helps to smile; otherwise one would cry.

This rant will be delayed until later in the morning due to mechanical difficulties.

If the California patrolman caught beating a grandmother at roadside could have had one of our flying donuts, maybe he would have been less hostile.

Shopping on Amazon removes the worry that Y-chromosome idiots could be in the store carrying around enough firepower to wipe out all the shoppers.

A woman's choice should be between her and her doctor. How she pays for her choices should be between her and her checkbook, not mine.
