Speakout 1/30

Friday, January 30, 2004

Well, Kennedy looked cute on TV this morning after he was being drunk and killed somebody and everything. He is always up there criticizing Bush and everybody else. I think I wouldn't have put him on television this morning. He was out 24 hours before they found out about the woman he killed. Why is he out free? A lot of people if had a son or daughter that murdered somebody drunk I ought to be out demonstrating against him. I feel sorry for the families that had somebody in the family killed like that. Why should Kennedy sit up there and be showed as a big shot whenever he is a murderer?

I watched the president's State of the Union address last night and I really enjoyed it. The thing I enjoyed most was when the President started talking about the good things that he wants to happen in the United States. He wants national defense, he wants a strong economy and he wants to teach all of our kids. The Republicans all stood up and cheered and the Democrats sat on their hands. My question is for the Standard Democrat: What do you think of Democrats who sit on their hands and do not want national defense, a good economy and to educate all of our kids?

I think they are average, typical Democrats.

What happened to the Phantom in the comic strips? We miss the Phantom. Get the Phantom back.

There was a problem with the provider of the comic and we didn't receive last week's strip. Sorry.

I live on Missouri Street and every morning about 5 a.m. someone starts up a truck and makes a lot of noise which is disturbing the whole neighborhood.

I was calling Speakout about some dogs. I tell you Grant City is full of them. That is five miles north of Sikeston. Grant City is full of stray dogs running around and somebody needs to do something about it. you can't walk out your door or go down the road or you can't do anything without those dogs right there. Can't someone do something about it?

The NMCC girls basketball coach was ask to step down. He and his assistant had already decided to resign at the end of the season and NMCC just went ahead and gave someone a chance to see what they could do this season. The school has not been satisfied with the program. It has lost for 4 seasons now. NMCC has only won seven games in the past three seasons. The program has problems keeping girls on the team due to pregnancy, grades, discipline and just lack of interest. It is hard on the players and the coaches to lose all of the time. This program is in no means in good shape. The coach did nothing wrong except lose. He is still teaching, coaching football, and coaching track. It was just time for a change.
