Squawkbox – August 21, 2025

The auto equivalent of the grammatical oxymoron: Thinking you’re cool, a hunk of engine-revving, attention-grabbing, no-muffler admiration, while driving a 2015 caravan, a tired automatic 6-cylinder gray Charger, a red pickup hauling a lawnmower and being by-yourself, bald, in a new convertible Camaro at Longhorn.  

I do not understand anyone being upset that the taxpaying citizens of Georgia can view the subjects being taught in our universities. Is it a secret what our students are being taught? Ridiculous.

Looks like the orange loser came back from Alaska without his pants. I suspect Putin is twice as smart as loser boy.

SMRs, Mr. Fletcher tells it like it is.

Where there is no consequence for poor work ethic, and no reward for good work ethic, there is no motivation to improve.

Some things are irrational, others just crazy, but  to consider a county noise ordinance like that of the city, assuming the same resulting compliance and enforcement as now exists, is foolish, naïve and embarrassing. These attorneys undoubtedly live in an alternate-universe snow globe.

Why do the employees at Sam’s and Walmart park in the front spots? It is sad seeing our senior citizens walk way out to their cars. Come on, managers. 

The irony of Trump sucking up to Putin as he has always done is that his supporters call those of us who oppose him “Commies.” That’s what I call hypocrisy. That Man Without a Family

Outstanding high school football section. Very well-designed and very well-written. This is the kind of stuff The Albany Herald needs to do more often.  

Sorry, Fletcher, but if it walks like a Democrat and talks like a Democrat, I’m going to call it a Democrat.
