Squawker, if you think all white people suddenly love rap just because idiotic Kanye West finally said something reasonable in his life, you are delusional. I would rather be water boarded 10 times than have to listen to 10 seconds of rap, and I grew up loving Motown.

Monday’s Dougherty County Commission meeting was interesting. One commissioner who had a “five-second question,” precluded it with a five-minute oracle windup, then after the question, posthumously expanded with a lot of “I means.” Meanwhile, another commissioner must not have gotten a lot of sleep as they fought to keep their eyes open. I’m surprised their head didn’t fall off, bobbing around.

Even though Chris Cohilas has no opposition in the primary election, you can vote against him by not voting at all in the commission chairman’s race.

The Trump haters can’t stand the way the president is having so much success with North Korea. He got them to release our hostages before negotiating with them, unlike the guy who had to send a planeload of cash to Iran and still got a lousy deal. So great to have a real leader.

I don’t think John McCain needs to worry about Mr. Trump going to his funeral.

The Squawkbox gets funnier every day: To the guy driving down Slappey going 45 and complaining about the other cars speeding, did you know you were speeding? The speed limit is 35.

For the fake Squawker out there: Trump comes closer to being a Christian than anyone the Democrats have had since Truman.

If you relocated Toomer’s Corner to Albany State’s campus, you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the two.

Maybe with a little competition from a Lee County hospital, Phoebe Putney could improve to better than a “C” rating.

I just opened a diet soda, and it is horrible. The date on it Jan. 4, 2016. What in the world is Coke thinking?

I’d like to hear a comment from our city commissioners concerning all the potholes on Westgate Drive.

I’d give anything to be a fly and crawl across that check and bonus that Spencer Lee gets if he somehow wins that case for Dougherty County.

Sounds to me like Attorney Spencer Lee would walk into the gates of hell if that’s what it took to win this case.

The Tifton and Thomasville hospitals better be careful. They could be next on Phoebe’s hit list.

The true Americans who care about the country don’t give a damn about what Trump has done in the past. We just want him to perform now.

It’s a shame that people who apply for jobs in a woodworking plant in the area can’t even read a tape measure.

Someone needs to remind Cal Thomas before he writes another article about anybody that it was Donald Trump who has spewed all the vulgar language. Michelle Wolf is a comedian. It’s what they do.

When I think of the direction Albany is going in right now, the song “Dust in the Wind” comes to mind.

Commissioner Cohilas’ wife is an insurance agent: She should talk to him about her company’s slogan: Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. We should be a good neighbor to Lee County.
