Comments from our readers:

SEN. JOHNNY ISAKSON wants to "extend" more mortgage credit, the very thing that helped set up our present economic affliction. He wants to give more credit to bad credit risks. Why does (former?) real estate broker Isakson want to set us backwards rather than forwards? Does he make more off his former real estate company than he does in senator pay?

OBAMA HAS "WON" a Nobel Peace Prize, even though the award was voted on just two weeks after Obama went into the White House. Clearly that "prize" is now nothing but a political gimmick. Any "winner" of it is not to be trusted.

PEACE PRIZE for someone who hasn't done anything but talk about what he wants to do! Seems that they are at the bottom this time. What people want to see is action.

AFTER HEARING THAT Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, all I can say is, the Nobel Peace Prize just became a diminished prize. Who has he made peace with but some countries whose motives toward America we are totally suspicious of?

I HEARD A strange sound when Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What is it that I heard? Just the sound of a million right-wingers' heads exploding all at once in America. Have you ever seen a clown act like he's angry? That's how it is with all these Republicans spouting off on the TV news. They may appear angry, but all you can do is laugh at how stupid they sound.

SPEED HUMPS are a waste of money. The other day workers dug across the road and did not replace the pavement. Boy, do cars slow down now, and it only cost one-fifth of the hump cost. The only upkeep is throwing a shovel full of dirt in every week or so.

WHY DO PEOPLE walk on the right-hand side of the road with the traffic? It's no wonder that so many people are hit by cars these days. Walk on the left side of the road facing the oncoming traffic.

THIS IS A BIG RANT toward all bosses who treat their employees like they are not normal human beings. We can only do so much. Sometimes it feels like you all forget that. I guess you get a little too comfortable and you all start to forget what it's like to be a normal old worker. And to those bosses who treat their workers with respect and really care, thank you. It is really nice to be treated with respect by managers who do not see themselves as better.

THIS IS A RAVE to the Lydia Project. Thanks for the support you give to women in need near and far.
