Speakout 11/7

Tuesday, November 7, 2006

Congratulations to Ben Swallows for becoming Sikeston Eagles Club President and thanks for running Sikeston Eagles bingo.

I just wanted to say thank you very much for stealing my 139-lb. pumpkin in my front yard. It was not carved, it was not drawn on. I have it for Halloween decoration and Thanksgiving for my handicapped children who live in my home with me. But thank you for removing it. Now I won't have to worry about getting it gone. Let me tell you something, God will surely bless you.

That old man that called in about he was old, he must be senile too. When Clinton was in, who was a Democrat, we weren't paying $3 a gallon for gas and our national debt was down in black. Now we owe billions that our great-

grandchildren will be paying off. I don't know where he gets this. He must be too senile to read the paper or watch the news on TV.

Last night at the Sikeston Outlet Mall for the trick or treating for the kids, there was a man in a werewolf costume who tried to lure my granddaughter to him. He kept staring at her and stalking her, along with my sister-in-law and the girl is only eight years old. The cops were around, but you know they wouldn't have done anything because we couldn't prove it. Anybody else that was at the mall and noticed a man in a werewolf costume staring at their daughters, please call SpeakOut because this man may have been a predator.

This is Nov. 1 and when I left a few minutes ago, I had a Standard even though the office is closed today. When I returned, it had been taken away. So had my neighbor's paper. Wonder what is happening?

I want to speak out about an incident that happened Halloween night at the Dexter High School, the trick-or-trunk for the trick-or-treaters, opened to the public. There were two parents there with their children standing in line to get candy. Both parents were wearing the Ku Klux Klan apparel, hoods and all. I don't understand how people can be so ignorant and stupid. This is 2006. You people need to wake up because you guys are fading out. You people are sick in the head and need to get help. I want to give credit to the Dexter School officials for handling the situation as best as they could.

I'd like to speak out on Rush Limbaugh's remark on Michael Fox. How in the world can such a big mouth. belligerent so and so talk about anybody like he did in front of the nation saying what he said about his disease? I had a friend that had that and it's not a bit funny what he did. Knowing him and everything he's done, he's nothing but a dope head, big mouth (I can't think of enough adjectives to describe the man), he ought to be in prison himself. How in the world can anybody listen to Rush Limbaugh? And how in the world can Cape Girardeau even claim him?
