"The U.N. security council passed yet another resolution condemning Iran for its nuclear weapons pursuit. Why don't they just throw wet rolls of toilet paper at Iran? It would serve the same purpose wouldn't it?"

"I am not sure if I like Pat Prokop better in a Santa hat or with a bald head."

"My house is one of those on Washington Avenue that is lit for the holidays and I received a nasty letter from a neighbor saying my lights are in excess and that I should donate my time to charity rather than decorate for the holidays."

"I love Jiffy Lube. They made fresh coffee at 2 p.m. No one takes care of their customers like that."

"Jack Kingston needs to quit whining or quit Congress and let someone else go up there that wants to work five days a week."

"Why worry about Iran developing a nuclear weapon? America has them, and we will use them. We're the bullies; let the other countries have them also."

"I always doubted global warming until I read the book of Revelation in the Bible. Everything that is happening today was foretold 2,000 years ago. Maybe they have a point because it is prophecy."

"I'm spending $700 a month on my health care insurance, and I don't feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have it because I probably won't have it one day."

"I sympathize with the woman who cannot receive health care because she is an illegal alien, but I am an American citizen, pay taxes and work for the state of Georgia but cannot get health care for myself or my children. Fair is fair."

"I have lived in Savannah for all 23 years of my life. I have never seen the airport, nor can I find it either."

"Thank you, Low Country and Jailhouse Choppers. You made our dreams come true."

"To the person who suggested a Christian home to solve the crime problem, religion does not equal an answer to solving crime. That is the government's job."

"Enron has proven one thing: You need to oversee your CFO very closely."

"I was raised in a single parent Christian home, but I am not part of the crime problem. The problem is due to stereotypes and not helping with the kid's future."

"I-16 backs up at the drop of a hat. If people wouldn't rubberneck every time someone is pulled over, then drivers wouldn't have to use the shoulder as a third lane."

"Just when you think you have heard of the epitome of stupidity, Hilton Head wants to pay $100 per month bonuses to city employees to learn Spanish so they can converse with the population."

"My husband was in the carpenter's union in Savannah for 40 years, and the benefits were wonderful."

"The Empty Stocking Fund should be renamed the 'Single Mother Stocking Fund.'"

"The old City Market is history."

"Thank you to the Southside Fire Department for letting Santa hitch a ride on their fire truck and ride around our neighborhood. My kids enjoyed it, and I'm sure the reindeer enjoyed the break."

" 'Twas the night before school was going to get out and Santa came riding through our neighborhood on a fire truck at 8:45 p.m. with the sirens blaring, throwing candy to the kids. I want to know if we, the taxpayers funded this."

"To the bum who threw liquid on the hood of my daughter's car last week on Bay Street, you completely ruined the paint job. We wish you the justice you sorely deserve."

"Shame on City Council for destroying the historic gas station for condos. Let's hope Tybee won't follow suit."

"I cannot believe they tore down the old gas station on Drayton. What a travesty. I can tell historic preservation is alive and well in Savannah."
