Congratulations to all the young writers and winners of the Albany Museum of Art’s annual essay contest, especially Alanna Dapper’s “Old Corner House.” What a beautiful and uplifting essay. How wonderful that such a young lady has the insight to look beyond the picture and see such beautiful images. Thank you for the heartwarming read.

Miami loses to 4-6 Pittsburgh and plays Clemson next week. Mark Richt doesn’t have a smile on his face now. I said before Miami was not a No. 2 team, highly overrated playing a weak schedule.

Albany City Manager Sharon Subadan has a lot of nerve patting herself on the back regarding Albany’s accomplishments particularly street resurfacing (Pot Hole City), lighting (over 500 streetlights not working) and blight (many boarded up buildings or broken windows). How delusional can one be?

I know and appreciate the farmers, but we spend a lot of money to keep our property clean and fresh for the holidays. So, here comes the cotton trailers, dropping cotton everywhere. They should be expected to go back and pick it up or cover it to keep it from littering the roads.

Well, Mr. Eugene, maybe the entire Congress and Senate (Democrats and Republicans) need to be investigated. The results might blow your socks off.

Legal law-abiding American firearms owners have about 300 million guns and an estimated several billion rounds of ammunition. We are not to blame for American violence. Blame excess and illegal immigration, multiculturalism, political correctness, bans on God and Jesus, excessive TV violence, and excessive welfare, all provided by Democrats.

The government is part of the obesity problem. Why do they allow food stamps to be spent on carbonated drinks, candy and processed foods?

I’m pretty sure Santa wasn’t at the original Nativity.

Sure, the richest get the biggest tax cut. They pay the biggest amount of tax percentage-wise, so they should get the biggest tax cut.

The overused word amazing has replaced the expression awesome in our present day lingo. Now, anyone who uses awesome is an old fogey.

I saw the lady on TV accusing Roy Moore. She still has a long history of making allegations against other people. She’s delusional. I do not believe her.

Set the record straight. The food stamp user has no humiliation. It’s more of an in-your-face attitude and you can’t do anything about it due to the American government.

You squawkers here in Albany are pathetic. Stop looking into people’s shopping carts and counting children. You don’t know if all those were that lady’s children. She could have been babysitting five. They could be her nieces and nephews.

Russia, Russia, Russia. Can’t we talk about something else?

Santa Claus has no place at a Nativity scene. Santa Claus was not around when Jesus was born.

They don’t play around in China. A long time back, a teenager spit chewing gum in a sidewalk and everybody in America about flipped out about it because he was going to be caned.

We spend $500-1,000 to see a few NFL games every year. Players can protest all they want because most fans are not seated until kick-off anyway.
