  • "Congratulations to the Colbert County Health Department for being so organized when they gave the swine flu shots. From the time you walked in the door, filled out the information card, received the shot and walked out the door, was no longer than 20-25 minutes. No long lines. Thanks again, Colbert County Health Department."
  • "It's not fair for my 23-year-old grandson and any others to go to Afghanistan and fight for leaders that can steal elections and live like kings while their own people live in tents and caves like animals. He's already been to Iraq for a year fighting George Bush's ego war."
  • "I would like to say that I hope the two or three people, or four, that's holding up the paving of the south side of Avalon to 133 is really happy because as it is they're holding up any chance of us getting businesses."
  • "I'd like to make a comment on your editorial, "Moore nonsense," in the Sunday, Nov. 1 paper. You failed to mention that Judge Roy Moore was going to be one of the toughest governors on illegal immigration in the United States."
  • "These people in Russellville who opposed the tax increase should not go to other cities to do their shopping where the sales tax is higher than in Russellville city. Shame on you who do shop across the Tennessee River. Wake up and support our city and schools."
  • "To the caller who is sick of the Huntsville television stations and their news not giving us any coverage, you're absolutely right. We need a station here in the Shoals because there have been three or four major accidents in the past two weeks right here in the Shoals - never, ever is it covered on the Huntsville television stations."
  • "I wonder how much the Republican Party is paying independent Democrat Joe Lieberman to stand in the way of the public option on health care. They must be paying him an awful lot. I don't know why the Democrat Party even allows this guy to be on their committees. They need to kick him off."
  • "Nov. 1-7 is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week. Please visit your local shelter to adopt a pet or to make a monetary donation. You might also consider donating cat food, dog food, puppy food, cleaning supplies, toys or litter."
  • "In Kimberly Cosby's Nov. 2 letter to the editor I agree with her that we so need health care reform, but she is naive to believe that this government can fix anything."
  • "Does anyone other than me think alternative school is a waste of taxpayer money? Think of the expense of having school at night when our state has such a hard time funding education for our children. And what kid wouldn't rather sleep in, be left at home unattended all day while mother and dad are working and attend a four-hour evening class instead of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.? Is this really beneficial? What's the punishment? Why not have it during normal school business hours with a much more strict enforcement?"
  • "Due to hard times I called AT&T to cancel my inside wire protection service costing $7.50 per month. I was informed that if I called for any repair service, there would be an $85 charge even if the trouble was outside my house. This is totally unfair."
  • "The Lauderdale County High School principal who said cell phones aren't going away so we might as well not continue trying to fight this losing battle ought to be put in charge of the marijuana policy."
  • "I, too, am like George Aston. I am in my 70s, had a bypass surgery and I'm disappointed that I can't get a flu shot, but they are willing to give the prisoners in Guantanamo the flu shot. It seems that if you've been an enemy of the United States and tried to destroy the things that most of us have worked for, you're entitled to it - but the ones that have worked for the United States is not entitled to it."
