Sound Off: Call 484-521-3180
NOTHING BUT TRASH!
You know what? I think enough is enough. The front page of your paper every single day has nothing but trash. All you want to put on there is bad, brutalizing things that happen in the neighborhoods. How about putting something nice on the front page for a change? It’s a disgrace. I’m going to change papers.
DRESSING DOWN
I see on TV they’re talking about people wearing cargo shorts. Who cares? If they want to wear cargo shorts, let them wear cargo shorts. Wear what you want to wear. It’s up to you. We live in a phony society today and it’s getting worse and worse. Wear what you want to wear and be happy as a person. Be happy in the clothes you wear. You want to wear gym shorts, wear gym shorts. Who cares?
APPLE, MEET ORANGE
I’m calling to find out why it is that there are so many political comments in the Sound Off but yet we can’t get the St. Louis Cardinals box scores in the paper? I’m hoping that this can somehow be rectified.
POLISH (OFF) THE BRASS
I agree with “Cut From The Top.” Our taxes went up again in Garnet Valley School District and it’s ridiculous. I don’t know how they think outsourcing low-level employees is going to going to save them money in the long run. They should cut from the top. Lots of principals, assistant principals, administrators and superintendents get all kinds of perks, while lots of people that do the real work don’t.
TRY SOME HONESTY
“No Friend Of Mine” has a point. I think bill collectors and telemarketers should greet you with “Hey! Pay up!” or “Hey! Buy this!” I’d have a little more respect for their collections skills or sales pitches if they were more up front.
THE TRUMP CONSPIRACY
To “Lie Of The Day,” you are delusional. Trump’s whole campaign is a lie. I’ve been saying this all along: Trump doesn’t want to be president. He got addicted to being a celebrity. This is his ultimate reality show. He will find a way to lose and then stay in the media spotlight telling the American people how differently he would have done things.
HECK OF A SOUND OFF, CALLER
“Blame The Dems” is such a typical right-winger it’s not even funny. They want to blame the Democratic mayor of New Orleans for the response by the federal government to Hurricane Katrina? Please. And remember George Bush’s famous line, “You’re doing a heck of a job, Brownie.” This was to the man who waited three days to even get involved and help the people in New Orleans. But let’s blame the Democratic mayor of New Orleans because you’re a rightwinger who has no clue as to what’s going on.
THE OBAMA DIFFERENCE
To “Very Interesting,” the reason the president didn’t immediately get out to Baton Rouge was because he wasn’t interested in a photo-op like Donald Trump. He wanted to let the people who were qualified to help the residents down there do their jobs and not distract from it in the immediate aftermath of this tragedy.
BAB-LE ON
This is to the person who went to the Barbra Streisand political rally (“concert”). She only climbs out of the moth balls at election time to fund the Democrats. If you want to hear the same old tired songs of hers, go to a used record store and buy her CDs and albums. They are cheaper than the concert tickets. If you want to hear and see a good modern singer, to a Celine Dion concert. It’s good music and the money is used on her kids. PEG IN ESSINGTON
AND THAT’S THE TRUTH
I was looking at the Sound Off in Thursday’s Times and it looks like everybody’s drinking the Kool-Aid and Trump is their man. Well, good luck. But if you turn to Thursday’s opinion page there is a letter to the editor by a Mr. Nardella who hit the nail on the head – Trump is a phony. Read the letter; it was excellent.
