VP candidate becomes pit bull
Dear Editor,
I can’t say exactly when it happened, but shortly after “I am honored to accept your nomination,” she took off her lipstick and the demure hockey mom changed to a pit bull.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin sunk her teeth into the hindquarters of Barack Obama, the liberal media, and the hypocritical elitist crowd that looks down its nose at small town America. Governor Palin showed that the character and strength of the conservative values of small town America are as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.
With plain talk, she stood up for the real America when she pointed out the hypocrisy of Barack Obama speaking one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco. She spoke from the heart, and it was clear that she did not need focus groups, pollsters, and other tea-leaf readers to tell her what she should say and how she should say it.
John McCain made a brilliant choice in this woman of character and inner strength. She brings a breath of fresh air to the GOP that is crisper and fresher than her state of Alaska.
The McCain-Falin ticket is one that will inspire Americans like they have not been inspired since Ronald Reagan.

You will not believe it! Shoot, I wouldn’t believe it myself had I not observed the sight with my own eyes.
Yesterday was hot. I mean really hot with the humidity high and the temperature within a couple of degrees of 100 even after 8 p.m. when I began my daily run through the woods and fields of the backside. -

Now that combat troops have pulled out of Iraq, the Cordele Dispatch would like to hear how readers feel about the conflict. If you are from the Crisp, Dooly, Wilcox area and you served any time in that country, would you share your experiences and tell us if you think the country will succeed as a democratic nation?

Legislating morality: everybody is doing it
Without fail, when conservatives take a position on a moral concern, liberals will angrily assert, “You can’t legislate morality!”

Taking my own advice
If you’re like me, you probably enjoy handing out advice, both solicited and unsolicited. After all, those of us who have vast life experiences owe it to those with less experience to share our wisdom.

The most valuable gift
The Jewish Temple had many gates. One of them was called “Beautiful.”
Here a certain lame man sat each day because it was a well traveled area with people entering and exiting the temple constantly. Perhaps a kind soul would show mercy and drop a coin or two for him. -
Readers comment on 24th Ave.-Frontage Rd. traffic jam
Fortunately, I no longer have children attending CCHS that have to deal with this problem. I however think there could have been a better way of handling the road construction without completely closing the road.
