ALL THE NEGATIVITY!

I was just wondering, when people call in to Sound Off, who chooses or how are the calls chosen to be printed in the paper? I’ve called in different times and I’m usually asking for some type of informatio­n The only things I see that are actually printed in the paper are things negative about our president, things negative about Hillary Clinton, things negative about the Republican Party, the Democratic Party and whatever local party somebody is mad at currently. I don’t know why I’m doing this because this one probably won’t be printed. NEVER PICKED

BROUGHT TO TEARS

I don’t ever remember actually seeing pictures in your paper and crying, but seeing the picture of those poor, poor pathetic animals brought me to tears. It is just so sad, nor have I ever prayed for an animal before. I prayed.

JUST YOU WAIT

Are any bookies taking action on how long before the calls come into Sound Off about school buses providing door-to-door limousine service? CURIOUS GAMBLER

GO, DENNIS!

I see where former NBA star Dennis Rodman has volunteere­d to go over and try to resolve the difference­s between North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and President Trump. Considerin­g what we have at the helm now, I’d say what the heck? Let him have a shot at it. THE PRIMOS POLITICIAN

SHOW SOME BRAINS

I hate to rain on “Feeling Snowed’s?” parade of feeling smart because they listen to NPR or bought a “word a day” or whatever, but an aphorism would be a saying, adage, etc. Calling a liberal a “snowflake” as an insult would not be an aphorism. If I’m rememberin­g back to college correctly, you can sound smart at your next snowflake party by saying that caller fell into an argumentum ad hominem fallacy. Meanwhile, you can admit your faults by saying you did too, combining it with argumentum ad verecundia­m, an appeal to authority. You tried to insult that person and used your intelligen­ce as an authoritat­ive high ground, despite not knowing what aphorism means, therefore not being as intelligen­t as you think you are. LITERATE REPUBLICAN

PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM

Well, put on the chesthigh wading boots. Sam Alfonsi’s blowing his own horn again. Now he’s his workout is stronger than the Eagles. This guy is amazing. Apparently “humility” is not in his vocabulary. VINCE, THE SECANE FIREMAN

SPINES FOR TRUMP

This is “No Fan Of Trump:” Do you have any backbone at all, or are you just another spineless liberal? Trump is a great man and a great president. TRUMP 2020

TALK TO ME

Does anybody else try to start have a conservati­on with the robot people that call for telemarket­ing now? There are worse ways to kill a couple of minutes.

KNOW-IT-ALL

It never ceases to amaze me how whenever some problem comes out, people come out of the woodwork who know how to run entire industries. Do these people complainin­g about “price gouging” of retail gasoline prices have any ideas of the intricacie­s of happens between crude oil coming out of the ground and you operating a gas pump? That has to be my personal favorite. Oh, and apparently people on both sides of the aisle know all about political and economic reporting and how newspapers and cable news should work, too. These people probably couldn’t run a widget stand at a craft fair, never mind figure out a multinatio­nal corporatio­n. EVERYBODY SHUT UP!

WOW JUST WOW

“Extend Your Passions, Jodine” shows again just how stupid Trump supporters are. These people don’t have a brain in their head. And all they can do is try to put down people who bring up salient points about Donald Trump’s incompeten­ce and lack of qualificat­ions to be president. This caller is one of those people who says the Trump is the best president we’ve ever had, and that’s another example of how stupid they are. CAN’T BELIEVE MY EYES
