This is a rant for mean people. An older couple stopped their car on Central Avenue Sunday at noon and bashed my snow-woman to smithereens with a briefcase. While the man was fighting with my snow queen, the woman jumped up and down and clapped. He scattered her hair (camellias) with one blow of the briefcase. It looked like dead cardinals all around and her clothing was blasted off in a heap of snow and scarves. She was a beautiful snow queen and many drivers smiled, honked and took photos of her all Saturday.
Sen. Shane Massey needs to take Oprah's pledge to not use a cell phone or text while driving. Hasn't he caught up with today's modern news? Oprah has a pledge out. Everyone that has a cell phone and drives a car needs to pledge not to text, e-mail or talk on the phone.
Teachers, administrators, janitors, cafeteria staff, security and everything pertaining to the Board of Education can't keep bonuses or get raises, but Bedden can keep his $15,000 bonus and get a raise. Let him go; hand him a ticket; bye. He can be replaced; there are plenty of others out there.
To the idiots that want us to remove our McCain and Palin stickers: No, I want people to know I didn't vote for the idiot in the White House.
This is a huge rant to Deke Copenhaver. The police officers are down there at the Law Enforcement Center surrounded by mold, and he wants to build a baseball stadium. Mr. Aitken, please, if you are any kind of a man, please get in there and talk some sense into these people.
Just another comment on the ballpark. Mr. Deke, how in the world can you even consider a ballpark with our children's education in the condition that it's in?
This is a rant for the idiots driving up Mike Padgett Highway in the snowstorm at 65 to 70 mph. Not a Richmond County cop anywhere. Why does that not surprise me?
A big RAVE for Mother Nature for the beautiful blanket of snow Saturday morning. It was like a letter from an old friend for this homesick Yankee.
Once again, cold weather brings out the high shamans of superstition, droning their mystical chants to the effect that a) cold weather in winter proves the world's climate is not getting warmer and b) the present pattern of unusual weather extremes can't possibly be a result of climate change. All too typically, in accord with some ideology or other, the science deniers seek to force upon others "facts" based upon opinion, rather than encouraging opinions based upon facts.
@ The idiot that will not remove their McCain-Palin stickers. You have that right, this is the United States of America. And the idiot in the White House is YOUR President, weather you want him to be or not. Would you like to move to another country? You have that right also.
I'm sorry, but I'm dying laughing at Rant #1. Even if it's true (which I don't concede), I have this visual of a geezer with a briefcase wailing away with a cheerleader in tow. It almost reminds me of the Tar Baby episode in the Uncle Remus tales. Was this "snow-woman" exceptionally well-endowed or something? Maybe his lady was jealous. Either way, I'll probably laugh all day. I hope they had a camera to get pictures to help with the crime scene postmortem investigation!
How do you sign up to join in and support Oprah's pledge? Do you have the number to text to be counted?
The climate change ranter has a lot of nerve mentioning facts in light of recent developments and revelations from the UN climate change studies. At least he/she didn't mention anthropic (man made) global warming. "More nukes, less kooks!".
i love how since global warming had been proven to be a hoax, they can simply change what they are calling it to "climate change" and gullible people will go right on spouting the same crap under a different name, some people just cant admit when they are wrong......
The anti-Bush folks had EIGHT years to leave. It's obvious that they didn't by the never ending whining and blaming attempts. I'm not about to turn my back on our great nation and abandon it to the whims of a "progressive" who is intent on it's destruction. I will be here to stand and fight every one of his policies that are intentionally designed to bring us down to an equal level with 3rd world countries.
Oprah has silly pledge. How is reading a book or writing a letter comparable to listening to the radio?
The global warming rant should start and end with a "DUH". too funny
Let's see, Deke Copenhaver can have a new jail house or a ball park. Which will he choose? Apparently the ranter thinks these two projects are mutually exclusive. The other ranter thinks it ballpark or education. Wow, some heavy thinkers sending in to the R&R.
To the Mike Padgett ranter, I've been watching drivers in Augusta for 37 years and have yet to see any change from the first day I arrived. Weather is never a deterrent.
I wonder if the "older couple" traveled around the area destroying snowpeople. It sounds as though they were having too much fun.
I've seen some hilarious "re-election" stickers on the web lately. I can't print them here, but they have to do with going back on a promise and how one shouldn't.
To the anti-Bedden rant. You sound like you were happy with the school system before Bedden came. I'm guessing you were schooled during the Larke era.
Cliff, are you trying to set a record for most posts? Just one would of done it!!
To the last ranter--isn't that what you are doing? It appears you are practicing what you are preaching because surely what you ar hypothizing is not based on scientific fact! Guess you talked to your shaman before you sent in the comment!
I have people following me. Should I call RCSO where the Chronicle is based, CCSO where I live, or the FBI????
Rant....Why is there a child molester in my zip code area,@186 Moxleyville Road, and not on Richmond or Burke County list?Found out about him through a web site called ,family watch dog,they sent me notice through an e-mail at Christmas.Here it is almost two months later and he is still off their rader
Wondering if Sean has dared to open all the whining, 'I'm offended ' and 'He is being mean to me' emails he got over the long weekend. Haven't had a 'play nice' reminder for two weeks now. Probably should check my inbox, I'm about due.
I have been asked if I would admit it if Obama finally did something I agree with. He has said the federal gov't will guarantee loans to build new reactors at Votgle. Good move since nuclear energy is the cleanest and least expensive option we have at this time. Maybe in the future that will change.
Nah Dom: Sean comes off as a smart guy. I suspect he knows how to "auto-delete".
Obama has done a number of things with which I agree, but I don't list them here. Why do the "perfect Obama supporter's" research for them?
Even when you agree with certain perfect obama supporters, they continue to argue, lol.
Just wondering Domino how many "Play nice" memos can U get b4 U are deep-sixed?? Until I know what the official rules are, I hesitate to venture into space. If U know what I mean. I try to use good common sense but when I see some things posted on here, I realize we don't all see common sense the same way. just wondering lol********
Just wondering Domino how many "Play nice" memos can U get b4 U are deep-sixed?
It has to be greater than one... if anyone's keeping score that's all I've gotten.
Aye,,, Were U able to "learn" from that one bad boy letter??
Dunno seenit, I got three in rapid succession but that was while Sean was trying to outline the rules of engagement for combat on this forum. I have toned down my comments like he asked and try to refrain form denegrating some of the more obvious mentally challenged posters. :))
