Please, please somebody limit that tornado/severe thunderstorm warning siren to three minutes duration. If you live anywhere near one of those sirens, it is sheer torture having to listen to that thing wailing for 10-15 minutes.

Squawker says the key to stopping crime is education, so if I am confronted by a thug and I teach him the ABC’s will that keep him from shooting me?

Thank you, Lee County Commissioners. It took a while, but you have successfully destroyed the best ambulance service in the state. And it only took about a million of our taxpayer dollars.

The new APD patrol cars look great except for the yellow tacky-looking city of Albany logo on the rear quarter panel. I still can’t figure out where the skyscrapers depicted in the logo are located in Albany.

I just received a postcard urging me to vote Democrat in the runoff. I find it interesting that they used a quote by Abe Lincoln, a Republican, on the front of the card. They couldn’t find any honest Democrat to quote?

Coroner wants to raise burial fees. So what funeral home does he work for? Curious, can someone receiving disability retirement from a previous employer have an elected paid salary position?

I wish that every women in the world had a great man like mine who ensures that I am taken care of in sickness and health. That’s a man who truly loves his woman. Thank you so much OGC, you are the best.

Kool-aid drinker, Al Sharpton is going to be paid $531,000 for his life story. Guess who is paying him? His own charity. Now tell me that is not crooked.

Loved the Paws With Claws story and photos. Support Chehaw!

So the gentleman draft dodger says he’s going to shut down the government if he doesn’t get $5 billion for his wall. Oh, wait, is that the wall Mexico is going to pay for? Y’all got suckered again.

I don’t know what church you hear that stuff from, but you need to switch to another one.

Hopefully the Democrats will settle down and stop this Russia, Russia, Russia business. I think the American people are about fed up with it.

Squawker, don’t worry about embarrassing Trump, he does fine with that by himself. Worry about embarrassing yourself. … Get your facts straight.

Please continue to have the Squawkbox.

I just read where Stephen Spielberg is remaking the musical “West Side Story.” Dear Stephen: You can’t remake perfection. Sorry Stephen, you did great with “Close Encounters,” but not “West Side Story.”

The Democratic platform: What’s theirs is theirs, and what’s your is theirs also.

Let me get this straight: The Democrats are trying to pass the legalization of pot. With the drug epidemic we have, what the hell are they trying to accomplish?

The only reason they keep investigating Donald Trump is it keeps investigators from the Clintons and the Democrats.

Single moms of teenagers, you really need to know where your kids are at all time and who they’re hanging out with.
