The Mini
That happened a long time ago
On Tuesday President Obama said if the deficit continues to rise, Americans could lose confidence in the government. Where has he been? That was lost a long time ago.

A better use for money?
Attention Sarah Palin fans: Instead of buying her silly book of fiction, why not donate that book cost to charity, the homeless ... etc.? Christmas is coming.

'What a country'
America is approaching a milestone. We now almost have as many millions of Americans unemployed as we do illegal aliens occupying stolen American jobs. What a country.

'Tantrum' or 'lobbying'?
This is in response to a recent Mini Editorial in which the writer said Republicans are acting like children. In one sentence, the writer said Republicans are throwing tantrums because they aren't getting their way. Well, it seems a tantrum from the GOP is "lobbying" when coming from Demo…

Fort Hood shooter should be charged with treason, too
There is one additional charge yet to be leveled against the Fort Hood killer and it has nothing to do with political correctness. Traitor.

King votes for status quo
I'm sure the millions of Americans unable to buy health insurance due to pre-existing conditions will find it heartwarming to know Congressman King skipped his own son's wedding to vote for the status quo. Thanks, Steve.

Story of faked breast cancer sickens cancer survivor
A woman faked breast cancer to obtain implants. As a breast cancer survivor, that idea sickens me and I am certain many other women who have experienced breast cancer are as appalled as I was.

Maybe President Obama could help

How will they know?
Just how is law enforcement supposed to know who witnessed a crime and who didn't report it?

She was hoping it was a nightmare
I woke up Tuesday morning to the front page of the Journal and thought I was still asleep (hopefully) and maybe it was a bad nightmare. But no, I was awake and there was Steve King who missed his own son's wedding fighting against the rights of the Aamerican people to have decent health c…

You have a right to complain
This is in response to a recent Mini Editorial which read, "If you don't vote, don't complain." I agree that people should try to get out and vote. But even if you don't, go ahead and complain. It is your First Amendment right, after all.

'Is the pot calling the kettle black?'
Recently, Sarah Palin said her "almost son-in-law" would do anything to make money. Hmmm - this coming from a woman who quit the job for which she had been elected to write a book and run around the country making as much money as possible giving speeches. Is the pot calling the kettle bl…

Heed the words of Margaret Thatcher
As President Obama and the Democrats are busy taking over the financial system, major industry, and potentially our health care, among many other things, including cap and tax, and paying for it by taxing hard-working citizens, they should heed the words of Margaret Thatcher: "The trouble…

Hand sanitizers are effective, but ...
According to the Iowa Department of Public Health, hand sanitizers are effective against bacterial-borne illnesses, but not against viruses. H1N1, other strains of flu, and some pneumonias are viral. Know the facts. Use of sanitizer can't hurt, that is unless it promotes a too wide sense …

Pray for a safe harvest
October had very few days where the weather cooperated for harvesting our local farm crops. Now that we have sunny days in November, it would be great if all use caution on the roads as more farm equipment is out there, sometimes after dark. Parents, remind your young people driving to an…

Neither extreme fits quite right
I really appreciated the views presented recently by syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. on President Obama's Nobel honor. He seemed to hit the nail on the head. Politically, as we go from one party's extremes to the other, neither fits quite right. I'm much prouder of an America that …

More than our fill
We don't know about you, but we're kinda glad the Vikings and Packers likely won't play one another again this season. We've had more than our fill of the Brett Favre saga, thank you.

'Ignorance can make you a follower'
If you refuse to listen to what the opposition is saying or watch what he is doing, because you know your cause is better, you might as well put a blindfold on and let him have the first shot in a duel. Being informed does not make you a believer, but ignorance can make you a follower.
