Vent line

* I see where the governor is going to require a dress code. Willhe be paying for all the new clothes I will have to buy? I trust hewill at least be giving us a cleaning allowance. Oh, yes, thatsright, were actually going to have to take a pay cut this year to payfor the insurance premium hike. Wise up, governor, we cant afford todress like you. n I agree with all the vents regarding poor grammar.However, dont leave out our West Virginia school teachers who get bigraises for the great job they are supposed to be doing to educate ourchildren. My job requires that I talk to teachers every day, and Imsurprised at their terrible use of the English language. Therefore,our children learn what theyre taught. So, next time, stop and thinkbefore you criticize, and ask yourself, I wonder if this poor personhad a teacher who actually knew a noun from a pronoun? * Im callingto the venter who talked about how years ago people went to church toworship the Lord Jesus Christ and spread the Gospel. I have to agreewith him 100 percent. Churches today are entertainment centers,recreation centers, gymnasiums, heath clubs, computer clubs itseverything but what God wants in his house. God said my house wouldbe called the house of worship and prayer and weve gotten so far awayfrom that. Weve turned it into just about anything, everything goeson now in Gods house, which is a disgrace. * The current ethicssystem should be abolished, then the governor can be the top dog andvolunteers of good character from all counties can hear the facts anddecide each case. Why not? * The drugs here in Rand are out ofcontrol. Why doesnt the drug enforcement police do something about itnow? * Is the governor actually going to call a special session toraise teachers salaries? * Why does the state government grow whenthe general population does not? * As soon as Manchin becamegovernor, the first thing he wanted to do was raise teacherssalaries. Our taxes are going to be so high that were not going to beable to live on a seniors income. These teachers know what this jobpays when they become teachers, and the first thing they do is starthollering about a raise. I think its terrible. What ever happened toteachers who taught because they loved children? * To the person whosaid that Clinton had a brain and Bush has straw in his head: WellClinton sure did have a brain and we all know where it was. * Why areschool buses not required to have seat belts? * Ive got a great ideato fix workers comp in West Virginia. Lets let all the stateemployees who didnt do their jobs of collecting money from companiesthat owed workers compensation pay the premiums. They came outsmelling like fat cats, still got their jobs, and workers comp is inruins. What a great government. * I cant believe that people are sostupid that they would say that more Iraqis are killed on a weeklybasis under Bush than under Saddam on a weekly basis. Do they notknow how many thousands and thousands of people were found in massgraves? Read, people, read, dont just talk against Bush because yourea stupid Democrat. * To the person who called in and bet that neitherJenna nor Barbara Bush would get drafted: Well, I dont know anyonewho has gotten drafted lately. We no longer have a draft. * The olderGeorge Bush has 14 grandchildren and not a one of them is in themilitary. The Bush family is too rich for that. It will never happen,even though their grandfather did serve in the military. * Bush givesus a tax break, and the Democrats in West Virginia want to take itaway. Tax, tax, thats the Democratic plan always. This will be thedeath of the Democratic Party. * I agree with the new governor. Donot pass payroll taxes on to the people who are working. * To all theBible thumpers out there: Why is it that your God allowed all thoselittle children to be swept up and taken out to sea and drownedduring the tsunami? What did they do wrong? * This is to all thosehollowed-headed editorial writers at the Daily Mail: Perhaps youdidnt notice, but when you advocated this war for democracy whatyoure really missing is the fact that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are ourallies and dont have democracies. Why is it that were killingthousands of people and sacrificing thousands of American lives toput democracy in Iraq when we turned a blind eye to the king in SaudiArabia and the emir in Kuwait? Heres a big hint oil. Wake upeditorial writers. * The best ethics position for public officials isto ask for nothing, accept nothing and owe nothing. * To the callerwho wanted to know why there were so many stories about Marshall inthe Daily Mail: Maybe he should realize that Marshall is only 45miles away from Charleston. A lot of people in Huntington read theDaily Mail. There are more Marshall alumni in the Kanawha Valley thanWVU alumni, and there are more students going to Marshall from theKanawha Valley than WVU, so maybe thats why there are more aboutMarshall. They by far have the majority of the coverage, as it shouldbe.
