  • "Every business that our government is getting into is failing. Now they want to take over one-sixth of our economy with the health care. They want to take over the health care industry. Something has got to be done. This insanity cannot continue."
  • "I wonder why a place as big as these four cities right here couldn't have a decent television station for the people. It looks like it could support a television station. We wouldn't have to watch Huntsville news and what little they want to dole out on us. It just makes me sick."
  • "I, too, would like to comment about the bad experience that me and my two grandsons had at a theater. We were treated very rudely also by the staff at the theater. So, now, we just travel to Lawrenceburg, Tenn., and spend our money there. We are treated very nicely, instead of having to put up with the ugliness of the employees at the theater here."
  • "I wonder how long it takes Obama to make a decision. It's been 59 days since the general asked for troops. Boys are dying over there. I mean 50-something in the last few days. And he's sitting over here, it's been 59 days and he still hasn't made a decision. I wonder if his son were over there if he would be making a decision. He's the most stupid person I think. That's my opinion and I'm entitled to it."
  • "Coffee Health Group should be sold to the private sector as soon as possible."
  • "I seen where Larry Langford got convicted. He may or may not be guilty, only him and God knows. But they could arrest 99.9 percent of every politician in Alabama for the same thing - 99.9 percent for the same, exact thing."
  • "You know, as the health care debate goes on, and I, for one, pray that we get a public option for the poor and the middle class - one little note that should make us all think. I've got a good friend that's an insurance agent. And he said they actually go to seminars and sessions and training in some pretty nice places - Hawaii - to train to learn how to deny claims through loopholes. Now, that's scary."
  • "For the lady who took a wasted trip to the movie theater, what kind of mother would send a 13-year-old to buy tickets to an R-rated movie?"
  • "Well, the health departments, they need a place where the elderly to get their flu shots. They can't stand in line very long, and then sometimes they run out before they get their shot."
  • "I cannot believe the editorial page Thursday. I grew up in the Bear Bryant and Shug Jordan days. If they didn't like the call from the referees, they took care of it behind doors. That's called respect. No wonder there is none today. People like Lane Kiffin can cry like a baby and want it his way. Be a man, Kiffin. Saban didn't cry when there was no call on pass interference or a late hit. I'm so glad you're at Tennessee, Kiffin. And TimesDaily, you need to grow up, too, and learn a little respect."
  • "Thank you, TimesDaily, for bringing your service calls back home from the Philippines. That is such a wonderful move by this newspaper. Let's use local people to take care of local problems, especially with the delivery and publication of our local newspaper."
  • "For the question of why our senators cannot finish the Wilson Dam paving project, it's not their fault. It's the fault of the property owners who want to become millionaires over a very small piece of property. Why don't the citizens in Muscle Shoals contact these owners and ask them to please cooperate for the benefit of everybody? It's not the fault of our elected senators."
