The Vent for Friday

The policeman whose dog died from heat stroke in the back of his patrol car should be fired and never be allowed to serve again. No excuse for that kind of cruelty to animals.

My monthly health insurance premium just went up 20% and my deductible went up $200. One drug my husband needs is not even covered.

To all of you who think it's ok to leave a child in a car while you run inside a store, your house or anywhere else: Pretend that child is your wallet and then maybe you'll make the right decision!

Men's Wearhouse fired the founder and executive chairman after a 23 percent profit increase. Undoubtedly so they could hire someone to lose money and be awarded a golden parachute. It's the American Way.

Just because I'm 65 doesn't mean I'm hard of hearing. Enough with all the junk mail about hearing aids!

I haven't had insurance for 8 yrs and have always paid my own medical bills. Don't assume because one doesn't choose to have insurance, it's because they want to freeload. I don't want my personal or medical information out there for the government to get their hands on.

My cats will never be attacked by a coyote. They don't go outside.

Iraq and Afghanistan were never on the books under Bush. They were on our Chinese credit card though.

Poor, elderly shut-ins who were born at home and never got a birth certificate are citizens too. The state didn't register their births.

Please pay your fair share, regardless of how the government spends it.
