Opinion Line Extra (July 31)

Lots of folks have been seeing skunks while out walking these days. That’s just the donkeys coming home from the convention in disguise after picking Hillary for their candidate.

A recent Eagle headline stated, “Democrats aim to portray Clinton as likable at convention.” In a related story, it was noted the enrollment of pigs in flight school is up dramatically.

When Bill and Hillary are giving speeches, you know that the truth is not always in the room. At least Bill charms you and you feel better because of it.

It is amusing to watch the Democrats struggle and squirm with Donald Trump being so truthful and transparent. They are so used to being untruthful about the economy, our security, Obamacare, etc. It is refreshing to get the straight story.

Tyrant. Trump. Both begin with the same letter. Coincidence? I think not.

Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state was nothing but a series of boo-boos. What has she ever done that was heroic or noble or great statesmanship? Nothing. How can anyone think that she would be a good president?

Won’t this be a peachy world to live in with Vladimir Putin and the Donald running things? I heard that Trump wanted to dump Mike Pence from the Republican ticket and insert Putin as his vice president, but the birther issue held up that nomination.

Anytime a speaker in the Democratic convention ended their speech (reluctantly?) with “God bless America,” it was never mentioned that it could be rightly claimed to be plagiarism.

The right-to-life title for anti-abortion groups is an invalid definition of their organizations. They should be renamed to a more appropriate “right to life in the womb,” because after birth they couldn’t care less about either the mother or child.

Are you kidding me? Eleven political ads during a 30-minute noon newscast. I can’t wait for Tuesday. But then, I guess, it starts all over again.

Channel 3, KSN, please stop saying “Ark River.” We have two rivers in Wichita, the Big Arkansas and the Little Arkansas. We do not have the Ark River.

When severe weather is reported with a scrolling message across the screen, a color-coded map by county on the screen, an emergency message with sound effects and weathermen interrupting programming to tell us the same thing over and over, maybe they need to have people come knocking on everyone’s door.
