The Mini
Quite a sight
Between all the potholes in Sioux City (also known as inverted speed bumps) and pedestrians in the streets (many of the sidewalks aren't shoveled), we all look like a bunch of drunk drivers swerving to miss one or the other.

Laying off Obama is a 'great idea'
I could really appreciate a recent Letter to the Editor headlined "Lay off President Obama." What an excellent idea it would be if he would remove himself so to help the millions of unemployed across our country. It would also be a sacrificial move on his part to step aside from the probl…

Try 9/11 suspects in a military court
A headline in the Feb. 1 Journal said "U.S. to consider local views on 9/11 trial location." Why should we pay the civilian courts to bring them to justice? We already have military courts paid by the taxpayers. Try them in military court.

It won't happen overnight
Think about this. It took Franklin D. Roosevelt 10 years to clean up the mess from the Republican Depression of the 1930s. Now the Republicans want Barack Obama to clean up the George W. Bush depression in one year. Wake up, America.

What happened to respect for choice?
Who in this country flipped the switch against choice? The so-called tolerant are now attacking CBS and Tim Tebow and family for their choices.

Stop blaming Bush for everything
Barack Obama keeps complaining about the mess he inherited, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as the mess he is creating. It is time for him to accept his responsibilities and quit blaming George W. Bush for everything.

Blame Bush
Former President George W. Bush just submitted a $3.8 trillion budget for fiscal year 2011. President Barack Obama thanked him for continuing to accept the blame for our country's fiscal mess.

Americans need a Congress that listens to them
Maybe we need to fire Congress. They don't seem to be listening anyway. Then we could take the wages and perks that Congress receives and put that toward helping to get the economy back on track. Then elect a Congress that will listen.

What will the city try to make from this sow's ear?
Now that John Morrell is closing its doors, I'm waiting for some of our city leaders to step forward and try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

They will rattle your teeth
They're baaack. Pot holes, that is. We've got a bumper crop and there are some real teeth rattlers out there.

Safety concern
If the engineers who designed the new Riverside bridge and exit layout were intending to increase drivers' safety, why is the turn at the end of the new southbound exit totally blind?

President Obama is dreaming
President Obama is in a dream world. He better get back to the real world. One good thing about the Democrats, though. They are in good shape. I never saw so much up and down during any speech as I did during the State of the Union address.

Texting while driving should result in permanent license revocation
We need a law to restrict cell phone use and texting while driving? If you need to be on your cell phone or text, pull over to the side of the road. I think if you think you can text and drive and you are picked up for texting while driving you need to lose your license permanently ... be…

Send your salt to Phil
I heard last week that cutting back on salt consumption could save 10,000 lives per year. I suggest we all send our allotment to Punxsutawney and have it fed to that rodent before he gets the sun at his back one more time.

Donation ideas for Haiti
Why not take the bonus money that the top executives are to get and donate that to Haiti and then take the trailers that FEMA bought for the people during Hurricane Katrina and donate them to Haiti.

A better use for the money exists
It's estimated that it will cost U.S. taxpayers over $1 billion to try the 9/11 terrorists in federal court in New York. Imagine how that money could better be used to help the people of the earthquake-ravaged country of Haiti.

He hopes Scott Brown remains true to his word
A quick look at recent campaign promises: Barak Obama to televise health care negotiations and Scott Brown to vote against Obamacare. I pray that Scott Brown is a man of his word.

She's "had it" with global warming
I sit huddled in a blanket, hearing the wind come sweeping across the plains, watching the outdoor thermometer "climb" to negative 10, and have only one thing to say: I have had it with global warming.
