The Lord's Diner wanted to provide free meals to one of poorest areas in town, at 21st and Grove, and the people did not want it. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Taliban to President Obama: Thanks for not sending more troops to help out your soldiers. We appreciate you letting us get a larger hold on our country. Take all the time you need.

Put President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry on the Afghanistan front lines, and I bet they will get the necessary reinforcements sent with no further indecisive delay.

Thank you, Applebee's, for honoring and remembering us veterans.
