In 1950, Forbes Magazine named Albany, Ga., the Foremost Business City in the United States! True. What happened? Look around!

By the looks of some of these WG&L utility bills for February, it looks like WG&L is trying to get their new building paid off quickly. $585 for a normal two-bedroom apartment? $620 for a small house not even using their heater? Really WG&L? There needs to be an investigation.

Do Trump’s followers have no problem with his even mentioning the word “treason” because the opposition doesn’t clap for him to his satisfaction? It is not just that Trump wants to be treated like a king or dictator; he wants to be one.

OK, squawker, we got it. Climate change is your religion. So, don’t proselytize in a public venue. Separation of church and state, remember?

Email of the week — “America is the only country where people check their food stamp balance with an $800 smartphone and complain about oppression.”

As far as the Democrats are concerned, the rest of the nation can go down the tube. All the Democrats want is DACA. That’s why we had the last shutdown.

Squawker, how soon you forget. President Obama was just president a year ago. I don’t recall the Republicans standing or clapping when he gave an address. And you talk about class, what about a senator calling the president a liar?

The good people of Camilla, black and white, need to get rid of that mayor. He’s just a rabble-rouser and he needs to go before he screws up the whole town. There are good folks in Camilla and they don’t need this horseradish.

One of these days if the Democrats do take over this country, we’ll be a Third World country — but at least we’ll have transgender bathrooms.

Isn’t it just like Tom Brady to lose the Super Bowl and walk off the field and don’t shake anyone’s hand?

Telling the truth and not committing adultery are no longer Republican Christian values.

Joe Kennedy spoke for the Democrats after Trump’s speech. He and the Democrats don’t want a wall on the border, but did you see the wall around his house? Typical.

The stock market’s crashing. Obama set us all up for this. Oh, what the heck, it ain’t nothing but crumbs anyway.

How long before they finish paving Clark Avenue? My goodness, it’s taking forever.

Wonder what Jim Hardy would think of Wells Fargo now?

Great articles about the Dougherty County interim administrator, Mike McCoy. With his wealth of experience, he’s a keeper. C’mon, Dougherty County commissioners.

Dawson can pass an ordinance where you can’t park your own car in front of your house on the street between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Why can’t they do anything about noisy boom cars, speeders, drug dealers and all the other problems. Why do they have to pick on people trying to live their lives?

The way I see it only the criminals hate cops.

Cokie and Steve Roberts get off telling us we can’t make it without youthful, hardworking, taxpaying immigrants in this country. What’s wrong with our youthful, hardworking, taxpaying minorities having the jobs?
