Seen in Doublegate this weekend: A retired banker, a TV anchorwoman and a lawyer picking up trash from the road.

I’ve got two more things for T. Gamble’s lousy sports on TV. One is darts. The other is beach volleyball championships.

In 1961, a book was published titled “A Nation of Sheep.” It should be required reading.

Ann Coulter should stick to writing about immigration and building the wall.

Money talks … but all mine ever says is good-bye.

I think Carlton Fletcher needs to step aside. He’s got to be 55, 60 or 70 by now. Most of his racism is targeted toward older white males, which I don’t understand.

When Madison was writing the 2nd Amendment, he never anticipated how destructive an AR-15 could be.

There’s a way to take care of them hogs down there at the cemetery at Riverside. Put someb0dy down there with a rifle to shoot ‘em and feed ‘em to the hungry. They’re very dangerous. They’re not scared of people. They will charge you. They can outrun most folks.

When I bought my membership to Theatre Albany, I didn’t know they’d start having obscene shows. I don’t watch that on TV and I don’t want to watch it on stage.

Carlton, you’re right. We need to stop looking back. Let’s look forward. We’re all Americans.

Congratulations, Worth County superintendent and Board of Ed. You’re well on your way to destroying all the morale in the school system.

We best get on our knees and start praying. I just saw something I never thought I would see in NASCAR. Everybody gets a trophy. They’re divided into quarters now.

You don’t need gun control. You need parental control.

At the Winter Olympics, it seems to me that skiing is for people who don’t like to have fun.

Trump said Democrats were traitors because they didn’t applaud at the State of the Union speech, but he’s OK with Russian meddling in our elections. Who’s the real traitor?

Teenagers doing stay-outs because of the school shooting in Florida, that’s an excuse to get out of school. Parents are talking about protesting in the streets. Why don’t they stay home and teach their kids how to be smarter citizens of this country?

The gangs in Albany are the result of the offspring of the freeloaders created by the policies of the Democratic Party.

What an embarrassing moment for America when Fergie tried to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The country will quickly become a Third World country when our creditors won’t loan us any more money, our dollar is worthless and our creditors want their money back.

Any school system employee who participates, or encourages others to participate, in a protest for more socialistic gun controls must be fired for using poor judgment.

Maybe it is time for our church pastors to take a stand against gun violence and urge our elected officials to ban assault weapons and strengthen background checks by closing loopholes. What would Jesus do?

Trump’s increase on the deficit of $800 billion is nothing to compared to the last eight years when President Barack Hussein Obama increased the deficit $10 trillion.
