  • “The only way that you'll get Alabama to ever go Democrat is you first got to convince the religious right, the people who vote against themselves, that the devil's not going to get them for voting Democrat. And to get all your poor people registered. Alabama would have a good chance going Democrat.”

  • “Great story on the front page of the Saturday morning paper. Young man, Brian Horne at Brooks High School, plays for the band during halftime and is kicker on the football team. Seems to be a great kid. Good luck for a great future, Brian Horne.”

  • “I think a lot of the problem with wrecks and stuff in Florence is excessive speeding and running red lights and people texting their buddies. I see it all the time. Not just one, everybody. So, how about putting a law into effect about the text messaging and the talking on the phone because you're not that important. Stay home if you are.”

  • “I wholeheartedly agree with Dennis Pulvino's Oct. 31 letter to the editor regarding executive pay being controlled by the government. This is none of the government's business and it is pure fascism.”

  • “The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are both for big government. If you really want small government, and standing up to the Federal Reserve, it would be the Libertarian Party. They want to put the goal back into effect. So, why not change parties and go Libertarian if you're really for less government?”

  • “Is our federal government not taking care of our soldiers? I get up to five letters a day wanting donations.”

  • ““I have a way to solve a lot of the problems in this country. People are going to have to take an I.Q. test. That refers to driver's licenses, voting.”

  • “Happy Hollow Bridge needs to be replaced. I read on the Internet that it was inspected of March of this year and on a scale of one to 100, it rated six as one of the most unsafe bridges in the state of Alabama. This is very frightening, especially with all the traffic that crosses it each day - including at least two school buses that cross it twice each day.”

  • “I can't believe your newspaper would defend a big crybaby like Tennessee's coach, Kiffin. All he does is whine and cry about everything. SEC is a class organization and they've got rules and they should abide by them. Evidently your paper don't have any more class than Kiffin.”

  • “Here's one that will never get printed. To the caller who said that the radio station hung up on him because he said something about Barack Obama being a far left radical, just try to say something to the You Said It column that they don't like or don't agree with, and you can guarantee it will never get printed.”

  • “I bet you won't publish this, but I dare say Satan's holiday was well celebrated under the umbrella of many affiliated branches of churched people Saturday night. I just got a question for you people. Did you face Jesus at church Sunday morning?”

  • “This is a comment about the lady that wrote in about the smoking being ignored at the Renaissance Faire. Remember, this is open air. Get your head way up out of the clouds and the smoke won't blow in your face.”

  • “It was a very interesting and informative article concerning the Florence landfill in Sunday's paper. Just wonder how much of this could be used for recycling. Just a note, what did you do with TimesDaily paper Sunday morning?”

  • “Some doctors will tell you and some doctors will not, that buttermilk and yogurt is probably the best thing you could ever put into your colon because it eats the bad bacteria. One wonders if it would not help the flu, to get the old flu bug out of the colon. So, buttermilk and yogurt. So far so good for me.”
