The Vent

I wish I understood why the drought killed our grass but not the weeds, which are thicker and healthier than ever.

Well, well, well —- welcome to the real world of fighting terrorism, Mr. President. It’s a little different from campaign rhetoric, isn’t it, sir?

I share your concerns about the amount of debt the government is racking up. But why is this just President Obama’s fault? Why weren’t you appalled when both President Bushes and President Reagan were doing the very same thing?

Went out to buy an American car. Came home with one assembled in Canada with imported parts.

Let’s see, $100,000 Porsche, $10,000-a-year insurance, and we think a $200 fine for “super speeding” is a real deterrent?

Sure, let’s tax sodas to keep kids from obesity. Take away responsibility once again from parents, and guess who will ultimately pay … you and me, the responsible consumer.

You can spend and spend, but eventually someone has to fill the checkbook back up, and that, my friends, will be you and me, regardless of what is said.

If the Gwinnett County school board wants more time to teach our kids, why do they have to start school in July next year? My fifth-grader has watched movies and read books and not much else since the CRCT in April.

Would someone please send a “wake-up call” to Comcast? Customers with no choice are waiting!

Is the reason men can’t multitask so that they will have to do less housework?

Insult: Getting a ticket for doing 60 in a 55 on I-20. Injury: DeKalb County will not let me pay the fine over the phone. Mandatory court appearance. Nice use of tax dollars.

My squirrels are so smart, they figured out how to undo duct tape on the “squirrel proof” bird feeder!

Call me crazy, but some days when I open the paper and my witty/hilarious vent is not in there, I am shocked!

Ga. 400 northbounders, stop flying by on I-285’s shoulder or I’ll make you hit me! Your paying for my new car will help the economy.

Annoying commercial: little girl riding her tricycle inside the house, on wood floors, and purposefully bumping into furniture. Not in my house she doesn’t.

Honk if you don’t support MARTA!
