Online headline: "University President's Salary Tops $4M Per Year" -- Who does she think she is...the football coach at Alabama?

Online headline: "Biggest Black Holes Ever Discovered" -- Ooops, my bad. Thought this was about Steve Williams making another politically incorrect joke, only about some Congressmen.

L-E headline: "U.S. Postal Service cuts could hurt Columbus, Macon" -- Oh, like eliminating the "Columbus, GA" postmark hasn't already done so?

You know, offering "Dinner with Barack" as an enticement/reward for donating to his campaign is really a serious misuse of the Office of the President. It's a direct form of political abuse of the Office, and a flat out bribe. Charges should be made by the House and Senate Ethics Committees.

Seeing the sentence of the man driving a truck involved with the death at a Bradley Park/J.R.Allen interchange, I have this to say: Not discounting personal responsibility as none of us were there to witness the actions, but the architect who drew this interchange should be equally responsible for the young girl's death and consequences thereof.

No jokes here, but will reserve any comments about Chuck Fesseden until the light of truth has been shown. Will pray for all persons involved. Hope you will, too.

Oh, BTW, I've got a new name for Isaiah Crow-well.... I-say-I Crow-wail.

I agree with the Charter Review Committee's recommendation of a minimum fee for properties that are taxed less than $500.00, BUT will it apply to all the exempt state and churches properties? I do have one suggestion for the Council if it applies such, and that is to put a 'cap' on what any residential homeowner has to pay in property taxes. It's a form of class warfare to collect some of the taxes that are assessed on some properties.

Hmmm, it's strange that when the L-E listed the names of the 25 person Charter Review Committee, the L-E only named 24 people.

The L-E letter writer complaining about a child's voice ruining the CSU Choral performance for her. Lets hope she never has (or had) children of her own. Obviously she has no tolerance for life or the circumstances others had to deal with. Will someone tell her the story of Jesus?

As I sit at the traffic light at I-185 and Macon Road, you can't help but notice the trashy site where the I-185 overpass support system is being rebuilt. It made me wonder: Why are we taxpayers paying for this obvious construction flaw? How did it happen in the first place? Has someone, either the architect or the site contractor, been held to cause for this? Why not?

It's sad, though a sign of the times, that for the first time in its history, the freshman class at the U of Alabama has a majority of out-of-state students. How many in-state students were denied admission to their state college because the admission committee saw more income available through the out-of-state fees charged non-Alabamians?

Raising the price of stamps would not help the USPS out of its death spiral. Like any other government program, throwing more money at it is just a waste of good money.
Customers are looking for efficiency, not arrogance.
