JUST BE FAIR
So the federal judges in Washington also agree with the Pennsylvania judges that the new map is not gerrymandering, it’s fair. Maybe Andy Reilly will stop complaining. Now we’re back to regular districts as opposed to the stupid irregular districts that made no sense. You’re supposed to represent and be elected from the districts that you come from. So hopefully it’s a good day for democracy; get away from the gerrymandering on the right and left. Let’s be fair in this country again. But I know that’s tough with Trump in the White House and the Republicans following him. At least the maps are in better shape than they were before. ASTON GRANDMOM WHO KNOWS
TWEET OFF
Is anyone else tired of Donald Trump’s bitter Tweets? CURIOUS
RX FOR CLARITIN
The Claritin D is no longer an over-the-counter drug. You have to go to the pharmacy, you have to produce a photo ID, you have to sign for it. Being that it is no longer an overthe-counter drug, why won’t the insurance companies cover it under your prescription plan? You’ve got to produce all kinds of ID and you have to sign for it just as you do with a regular prescription. So I want to know you know who’s dictating what’s being covered and what’s not being covered. I’m just wondering if anybody else feels the same way, I’m a little sick and tired of it.

NOT FUNNY
To “More On Gus,” I remember someone complaining before about spending money on that during the budget standoff and referred to him as “Gus the lottery groundhog.” That made me stop and think – with all the uproar over Joe Camel 25 years ago, how is this any different? Is it OK to promote a vice with a cartoon character when the state is doing it?
A CONSPIRACY
To “Online Beware,” after some of the sales clerks I’ve dealt with over the years, returning something I bought online doesn’t seem so bad. Come to think of it, I didn’t return or exchange anything for years for that reason… I think I’m onto a conspiracy. CURIOUS CONSUMER
LEAVE THE DRIVING
Who in their right mind wants to drive a driverless car? There must be something wrong with you upstairs; that is not good common sense. These cars today are these stupid computers and then they go haywire. What person would want to drive one? Only an intellectual idiot. Because I know one thing – I want to drive a car myself, period.
SUPPLY & DEMAND
I wake up and the first thing I see is the guy in the White House is still pushing for harder sentences for drug dealers and the death penalty and all this. Just the fact that he is even saying that shows he doesn’t have a clue about supply and demand. It proves that he was given everything he has. He didn’t have to work for it. He just got it. You can kill every dealer out there and guess what? The junkies will still be able to get their drugs. Did prohibition for alcohol work? No, it just made a lot of people richer (I’m looking your way, Joseph Kennedy). How long has marijuana been illegal? I’m 50, I’ve never known a time you couldn’t find it. Making something illegal is the worst way to deal with it. You have to end demand, but the guy in the White House who’s repeatedly declared bankruptcy doesn’t understand that.
PLASTIC NOT FANTASTIC
I agree with person about plastic water bottles and milk containers. I can’t stand plastic bottles, plastic cars and plastic people. I just hate the word “plastic,” period.
TRUMPED
Donald Trump has a military parade planned. This is to fuel his already inflated ego. This man avoided the military with a bogus excuse of “bone spurs.” What a disgrace to have this parade for this bogus president.
FAKE NEWS
I thought I had seen it all. We now have a fake president who won a fake election congratulating Putin, another fake president, who won his own fake election. He calls our news fake and demonizes his own justice department.
