Merry Christmas

I don’t agree with everything y’all say in Sound Off, but you do keep me entertained. So Merry Christmas to all.

Christmas wish

This holiday season, I invite you to take a moment to pause and reflect, regardless of your beliefs about Christmas. Let’s all imagine a world free of war and political discord — a world where empathy, respect, and goodwill toward all guide our actions and interactions. In envisioning such a world, we can find inspiration to foster a more harmonious and compassionate environment in our own lives. May this vision of peace and unity bring hope and motivation to us all as we move forward.

Yes, Virginia

From the famous editorial: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to our life its highest beauty and joy.”

My Christmas wish

My goal this Christmas is simple: Avoid everything political.

The economy

The U.S economy is so bad according to some. You need to get out and try to go shopping. This negative news about how bad the economy is (nonsense). This country is on the best hot streak you will ever see. Only certain people will never get it.

Stores sure are full

With all the complaining about how bad the economy has gotten, I thought I’d be able to easily get a little late shopping in just before Christmas. Boy, was I wrong.

Health insurance

How can it be that any political party wants to take away health insurance from millions of Americans?
