I do not understand why anyone would question President Obama's intelligence. In the school of life, he is on a higher grade level than most of us. Obama's problem seems to be that, as his 2008 campaign manager David Plouffe said, "He is a chess player in a town with a lot of checker players."

I certainly enjoy listening to Sarah Palin. She's every bit as funny as George W. Bush.

I am pro-choice, but I think abortion should only be covered by insurance in the rare times when it is medically necessary. When it isn't, treat it as the elective procedure it is and require it to be paid out of pocket. Insist instead that birth control be covered.

Al Gore should send his Nobel Prize cash, and other money received for his "global warming" promotion, to cities such as Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, to help pay the overwhelming costs for snow removal this year.

I don't know which is more embarrassing: that Sedgwick County Commissioner Kelly Parks responded to an e-mail in a childish and unprofessional manner, or that he doesn't know how to spell the word "to."

Kelly Parks is a typical police officer, active or retired. They believe that traffic laws do not apply to them. We can only hope the voters do to him what he proposed to the e-mailer.

Why is it that when guys get older, their ways get more childish?
