Unemployment at 10.2 percent, and our senators work on Saturday to spend another trillion dollars while simultaneously destroying the health care system as we know it. It is nothing short of financial idiocy.

I prefer a deep bow to the emperor of Japan to the president throwing up in the prime minister's lap.

If we just stop arresting people for misdemeanor marijuana charges, then the jails will naturally thin themselves out.

If blowing or sweeping your leaves into the street is illegal, why are so many people doing it and getting away with it? These are probably the same people who complain when the streets flood.

Please, for the love of Pete, stop the Spangles commercials. They are driving me crazy. It is so not all about the ranch.

Oprah Winfrey is going off the air. Good riddance. It can't come soon enough.
I saw something so rare I almost fainted. It was a Wichitan without an opinion.
