Goldman Sachs: American capitalism at its finest.

I applaud Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for being so candid with her criticism of the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan. If we are going to send our young men and women overseas in harm's way, we should expect the countries we are trying to help to lay all their cards on the table.

The White House needs to stay orange, like it was for Halloween. All that's coming out of it is a trick, and no treat.

To those complaining because the Obama girls got their H1N1 shots early: Some are afraid the shot is unsafe. If President Obama had waited, people would have said he was keeping his girls safe while recommending that other children get the shot.

To the person who complained about George W. Bush spending a third of his presidency on vacation: If you are saying President Bush didn't get ridiculed, then you obviously hid in a cave for eight years.

Rep. Todd Tiahrt could be in deep trouble. It will be interesting to see how this ethics investigation plays out. I am sure there will be more that comes to the surface.

Kudos to physician Robyn Liu ("Why I went to D.C. to support health reform," Nov. 1 Opinion). Thanks for staying in western Kansas and for telling it like it is in the health care debate. I wish we had doctors like her in my town.

The health care bill in Congress is 2,000 pages. When the regulations for the bill are written, it will be more than 20,000 pages. If you thought health care was a mess before, wait until our Congress tries to fix it.

Leave it to Wichita to ruin two wonderful things in one day: the Wichita Toy Run and the matinee of "Wicked." Whoever planned for the downtown streets to be blocked off as people were trying to get to Century II should have his head examined.

Bless those bikers who every year give their time and money to do the Toy Run for children who would not have had anything for Christmas. What loving, giving spirits they are. They even carried the flag of the United States with them.

Do you want to make this country a better place to live? A good place to start is to watch more of "The Andy Griffith Show."

I have a question about Michael Jackson's "This Is It": Is this a promise?
