Fists and eggs fly over iPhones at an Apple Store in China. When such American-inspired mob mentality spills over in Kandahar, Afghanistan, the war on terror will be won.


As a man over 65, I am 100 percent in favor of charging people my age for hunting and fishing licenses. God’s creatures can surely appreciate that as well.


I was so happy to see the Patriots win. No more Tim Tebow. I couldn’t see what all the fuss was over a lousy quarterback.


Our friends and neighbors lost $3.25 million in the Kansas Star Casino’s first eight days of operation. In this economy, who knew people could throw away $3.25 million in just eight days? With that much disposable income, there shouldn’t be a single hungry child on Earth.


My own informal parking lot survey of the casino shows a large majority of car tags from Sedgwick County. It seems to me that the folks in Wellington need to quit whining and just enjoy the benefits they will reap from the Sedgwick County folks spending their money at the casino. I suppose they would rather have it sitting empty at the Wellington exit.


Wichitans are afraid people will spend their money at the casino instead of at businesses in Wichita? Maybe they should have thought of that and built the casino in Wichita.

Anyone who wants to cut school funding should spend a weekend in my fast-food drive-through. Your IQ will drop because of the customers.


If Bert Parks were not already dead, he would have died watching the Miss America 2012 pageant – absolutely the worst production I have ever watched. What a disgrace to the past beautiful productions.
