Debbie, what the heck were you thinking? Buy a clue, lady.

Good point. And this is why the United States of America, with its Constitution, is the best place in the world to live.

No, I am not, and I"m not in favor of Teacher's Unions. What I am in favor of is kids and parents standing up to ridiculous policies instituted "for the children", when they are really "for the beaucrocrats."

Teens are not stupid, As Mr. Giles suggests, they can and will expose ignorant, sloppy-minded teachers and administrators. Public schools CAN turn out amazingly bright young adults, if the students and parents hold their feet to the fire.

As much as I enjoy reading Dr. Adams, he misses one crucial point here. The bank teller, while trying to be nice, was inconveniencing a lot of people by indulging the elderly lady. I've worked with the elderly. They are not usually in any big hurry, but those that live alone are usually desperate for human interaction. The teller could have said, "Why, Mrs Smith, I would love to chat with you, but as you can see, there are many people in line. Why don't you have a seat over here, and we'll talk when I have a free moment?" That would have been respectful to both the elderly lady AND the impatient jerks (sorry Dr. Adams) in line.

My branch of "the teabagging coven", who call ourselves "hardworking single mothers" tend to take offense at your brand of labeling. No one I know is butting heads with anyone, nor considering Mr. Herman Cain or Gov. Palin sideshow acts. Every sane voice I've heard says, at least they are trying. What, besides calling names, are you up to?

Again, Brent. You must not have any literal experience with "skunk vomit". If you must be a name-caller, have the decency to know what you are saying.

Thanks for the best laugh I've had this week. Yes, I do fit right in with people who like to stay informed. You really had me pegged!

Capiche? Yes, I understand completely. You believe that Republicans don't want people of color to vote. I think that's historically inaccurate, but I could be wrong. What I don't get is that you ignore Republicans of color. Or of mixed colors. Are they just wrong?

Predictions such as yours are just plain silly. Stick with your day job!
