OK Liberals — your man won. Now hold him accountable for all the same things you held Bush accountable for: spending, honesty, transparency, work ethic. Bush had his issues, but Obama makes Bush look like an angel.
It's upsetting to see Christmas lights up already when Thanksgiving isn't even here yet. People's mentality is that once Halloween is over it's time to celebrate Christmas. Really? Shouldn't we give thanks before we overrun the stores to buy useless and meaningless presents?
Emergency responders (police, paramedics, firefighters) need to be as careful when they're driving to an emergency. Driving around the streets at excessive speeds can only lead to accidents where people could get injured or even killed. That defeats the purpose of having these types of individuals in our community.
If SPLOST funds were used correctly and not wasted on needless projects, then the people of this community would vote for that type of fund. People are worried that their hard-earned tax dollars will not be put to good use. Envision projects that will be a benefit to most, if not all, community members.
Please be aware that there are bogus letters, from so-called "investors" located overseas (Hong Kong), being mailed to innocent citizens in Lowndes County. They are inviting you to contact them for an opportunity to make money by investing with them. This is a scam, and for your own safety, please do not respond in any way offered by them.
People wanting to secede are not traitors. Past revolutionaries and secessionists viewed their governments as corrupt and abusive. The Civil War was about the erosion of states' rights. This current movement is about having a Marxist in the White House.
Medical costs are getting to be outrageous. And the doctors have the nerve to tell you that you need this test or that procedure done. Like I can just whip out my debit card and pay everything that they want done. I'm not made of money like you are, Dr. Whoever. Cut down on your costs, please.
I voted against SPLOST. Not because I do not want to see lovely auditoriums and other fancy stuff come to Valdosta, but because only the rich will be able to enjoy the things that SPLOST would bring to the community. The poor and middle class would sit back and watch their dollars being used by the rich, just like it is now!

Alright Sister's Pizza, how am I supposed to cheat on my diet if you stay closed! The other pizza places are too far from downtown for my lunch hour and are a bit too greasy.

I am thankful I chose to stick with Deep South Sanitation. Our trash is always picked up right on time and he never leaves anything behind. After all my neighbors' trash is "picked up," often items are strewn by the road and the cans are either left in the road or fallen in or beside the road. Get rid of the big company and move to Deep South, if you want true customer service!

Over 150 applicants applied for the handful of teaching jobs in Lowndes County. Plus, almost every single paraprofessional is a certified teacher who has been waiting patiently, “doing their time.” And, Lake Park Elementary hires a teacher who has quit, not once, but twice before. The "good ole' boy" network at its finest.

Have we progressed to the point where we are arguing about gay marriage? I thought the South was still outraged about blacks being able to marry whites! Hmm...We will catch up to the rest of the world eventually.

I found the cartoon referencing Tim Tebow's Christianity on Thursday's editorial page very offensive. I can agree that many people are out for what God can do for them, not how they can serve God, But I do not see any evidence of that attitude or life style in Tim Tebow's life. Time will tell.

Good riddance to the doctor unable to take Medicaid patients?! Do you work for free? I bet you go to work and expect a paycheck. Why would the doctor be any different? Blame our fearless leaders, not the doctors. And you are WAY out of line questioning whether that person is Christian or not. Sounds like the person who thinks preachers should work for free.

Amazing: Even a judgmental person like yourself can’t even bother to get the facts straight before you criticize something. Jason Collins did an extremely brave thing by coming out in a world filled with people such as yourself. Words of Wisdom: Leave the judging to God.

Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!

To all who use Coleman Road as a short cut between Old Highway 41 North and North Valdosta Road, please remember the speed limit is 35, not 65. Tailgating me isn’t going to make me go faster. Remember, it’s our neighborhoods, not your short cut!

I hope Al Sharpton finds time to visit the mother in Brunswick whose baby was shot point blank in the forehead while in his baby stroller. Perhaps the reverend could also counsel the angry young black man who pulled the trigger. Oh wait, the baby was white. Never mind.
