West Point launches inquiry into cadets' fists-raised photo
Naw! We still have honor. It's all over the place. It just doesn't jump up and down shouting, "me, me, me!' all the time.
I bet if they don't mess with those lady cadets too much, they'll go on to serve with distinction.

Letter to the editor: Sidewalk sense
If you ask me, Richard's sidewalk suggestions warrant serious consideration. Nobody's asking me, but then so what? Here I am with the rest of ya.
Emir Heckler? Is that any relation to Herr Holroyd?

What's your favorite poem?
"Jabbrewocky" by Lewis Carroll
And this one that really speaks to me:
"We Read" by Kevin Rabas
At the Olpe Chicken House behind glass there's a copy
of Ken Ohm's new book Ducks across the Moon.
An old woman and her husband cane their way
to the counter, pay with cash, the bills
old and crumbled and green, and ask about the book.
The kid behind the counter, who looks like the town
quarterback, says, "I didn't write it, annoyed,
"Heck, I don't know." And the old couple walks on,
go home, along the way mentioning books they do
know, and love, and read, and then slump in peace, sleep
on their La-Z-Boys, the tv snow, the books
held in their laps, the reading lamps still on.

Property owners need to start paying for sidewalk repair, city manager says
"I've walked your neighborhoods ... " YOUR neighborhoods. Really? Does Mr. Markus not include himself as a member of the citizenry?

Who's your favorite sports media personality?
Bob Davis is as good as anyone I've ever listened to call a game & way better than most. I also like Kevin Harlan, Jim Nance, and Dan Dierdorf. Count me in as a huge Charles Barkley fan, but I don't think he qualifies as a legit sportscaster. Dave Armstrong & Fran Fraschilla are great, too. Chris Piper is pretty darn good.

City receives funding for Safe Routes to School, loses out on Lawrence Loop backing
I'm disappointed. I'd really like to see the loop completed. I didn't know it cost so much, though.
