Opinion Line (Aug. 23)

In the long run, nothing matters, not even the long run. So maybe it’s the short run that really matters. Think about it.

Maybe the Oklahoma Geological Survey should hire Captain Obvious for its study involving the cause and effect of injection wells and earthquakes.

So Sedgwick County Commissioner Jim Howell feels the new zoo funding plan will avoid voting fights. Guess the ousting of Karl Peterjohn taught him something. Self-preservation is the sign of a true “public servant.”

When county commissioners want to start restricting the speech of its employees and board members, it is time to get rid of the anti-Constitution commissioners holding that view.

I appreciate The Eagle continuing to bring new evidence on the Kansas Democratic Party’s rigged-game conspiracy to support Daniel Giroux over Robert Tillman in the District 4 congressional race primary. Keep digging until they confess.

A common symptom of dementia is the ability to remember vividly events of the distant past but a complete lack of understanding of what is going on in the present. You know, like the Republicans.

I marvel that people who profess to be Catholic also claim to be a Democrat. Can’t be done. You’re either one or the other, not both.

Funny, I don’t remember Donald Trump supporters complaining about the media when he was receiving $2 billion in free media during the primary campaign.

If Trump doesn’t like the way he’s covered by the media, maybe he should stop saying stupid stuff.

Why do Fox News “talkers” blame the mainstream media for all the country’s problems then boast they are the biggest, most watched and most influential news provider?

Kudos to a fair and open-minded press that reports events just the way they happen, regardless of any negative response.

Kansas schools are boring.
