— When are you government boys going to get around to reappraising my property values? Will it be this decade or are you going to just keep on ripping me off?

— I miss the sign on the waterworks water tank: “Griffin, Adequate Water.”

— How in the world do you forget how you got a World War II jet airplane, when you now have to get a consultant to buy toilet paper? Really, come on.

— I want to start a tour bus service to take the tourist (not tourists, plural) around town to see all the sights.

— Yes, Leviticus 20:13 does call homosexuality a capital offense, but that is three verses after calling adultery a capital offense. If you voted for John McCain, Newt Gingrich or others like them and are quoting this, you just might be a hypocrite.

— So you guys that wear your pants down below your drawers think it makes you look cool? If you could see what the rest of us see, you might pull them up. Because what we see is a big baby.

— I don’t understand the idea of gay marriage. If a man marries another man, who will do the dusting and vacuuming?

— Opinions are a dime a dozen but true wisdom is worth more than gold.

— The gay agenda has to stop, particularly in the schools. My grandson came home from school and said they were talking about homo sapiens in science class. We need to put a stop to this right now.

— Of course Ruby Tuesday didn’t succeed in Griffin because this town’s idea of fine dining is upgrading to chili cheese fries at a fast-food joint.

— When did we vote to build a new airport? I know in the past the people had the right to vote if we wanted a new airport or not. I also know that in the past it was always voted down. So, who gave this group of county commissioners the authority to build a new airport on our tax dollars? I’d like to hear an answer to that question.

— What message are we sending to our senior citizens when we build the new senior center right next to a cemetery?

— I was recently asked by a friend why there were so many people in Griffin sitting around in public places doing nothing. I told him those people are working in the local golf cart business.

— We must have the best local officials in the state. Every time I read the paper, one of them is getting an award.

— I don’t know how anybody could watch an entire NASCAR race, with the cars going around the track over and over. What’s the point? The only sport that is worse is horse racing.

— If everybody would live their life like Tim Tebow, the world would be a better place. He carries out his faith, even though there are a lot of haters who want him to fail. He will lead his new team to the Super Bowl next season.

Americans just don't get satire, do they? Is it too subtle (I wonder)? How anyone can read this column and take it seriously is beyond me.

Sweet, funny, delightful. Thank you, My Two Cents, for the smile this gave me. :)

"Poe's law, named after its author Nathan Poe, is an Internet adage reflecting the idea that without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between sincere extremism and an exaggerated parody of extremism"

The classroom is no place for gay porn. My grandson came home from school and said they were talking about homo erectus in science class. We need to put a stop to this right now.

Well, at least the kids will be smarter than the parents...homosapiens = humans, not gay people.

Oh, you thought that was serious remark, you're not familiar with sarcasm. "I point out stupidity!" As my nine year old says, "Dert de der!"

Maybe they need to ban stupid people from having kids! How are you going to complain about something if you don't know what it is? They hear the word homo and it's on! The only book this woman reads is her bible. It makes me embarrassed that I also live in Georgia. Reminds me of the olympic games when a guy from New Mexico called for tickets and she told him he has to call someone in his country to buy them!

The expression "derp, derp" describes it pretty well. Your grandson evidently watches Southpark. Look it up in the urban dictionary.

I posted this once already, but I'll post it here as well.

Put a stop to education? Clearly you put a stop to your own after 3rd grade. You might want to look up what homo sapiens means. By all means use Wikipedia if you find that easier to navigate than a dictionary. And since you are at it please also look up what 'bigotry' means

If you want people to see your snazzy underwear, then wear them on the outside of your pants like Madonna does with her bra.

pant sagging was first done in the jail and prison system to show the other prisoners who would be willing to be the recipiant in a congical visit from another inmate. it makes you think if these hard core "thugs" new that if they would still do it?

I recently read that the baggy pants was first done in prison, where it was used to signal to other inmates the baggy-pantser was available for sex.

Has anyone else heard of this, too?

Shouldn't all school system jobs be posted? Many of the new jobs that I have heard about have not been posted on the system's website. I thought the system was reprimanded for this years ago when my children were in school and told that all jobs had to be advertised. Also, is the job of academic coach there to help the student and teachers or to do work for the principal? Parents, you need to ask questions and observe what is going on at your child's school. Some of the schools are wonderful,but many have massive problems.

Instead of complaining about the "government boys" reappraising your property value, learn that you can submit a valuation of your property and you can do it based on the research you do yourself.

You voted to build a new airport when you re-elected the same people year after year.

Amen on Ruby Tuesdays! The majority demographics of Spalding county and the city of Griffin do not support businesses like Ruby Tuesdays. They could by attracting that middle class of people that could move here if the city and county would ever get their act together; and most importantly, if the school system was one to be admired and respected. Don't blame the economy.

Another positive side effect of the "pants on the floor" style, when you have to hold your pants with one hand, it makes it hard to steal anything much larger than a cantaloupe.

Seeing baggy pants doesn't bother me, but the baby reference is good. I suggest the boys who wear this style try the following experiment: Watch a baby who has just filled his diaper walk across the room. Now put yourself in front of a large mirror and start walking. . . .Yep, that's what you look like!

You are so right about the pants below the drawers. What I see is a ghetto butt!! Those wearing their pants like that will never have more than a criminal career. But, one good thing about the droopy pants...it makes them easier to catch when the police are chasing them.
