Who would have thought keeping a blog going for 10 weeks would have been a challenge. I even started two or three as word docs on vacation and haven't finished them to post. Here's one more at least:
I love reading the opinion line in The Eagle. It provides an element of comedy in my life. Some are thoughtful and insightful with a hint of sarcasm, but just as many are pure stupid. I especially like it when the copy editor of the page arranges writings from opposite political sides one right after the other. Or the ones who are replying to a comment from the day before. Today's seem to be completely politically filled. For those who don't read here is a sample:
"Thank God for conservatives. They are the only reason this country has a viable chance.

"What would Jesus do" about taxes? He would pray to God that this country is wise enough to remove tea party Republicans from office. In 2012, He also would cast His mighty vote and rid our country of this misery known as House Speaker John Boehner and that nut-job Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

The Republicans in Congress want a government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.
* * *
Maybe we should vote all "Republicans" and "Democrats" out of office and just elect Americans."

Then when you look for additional comments from readers it is more interesting because it seems to be the same people alot of the time. Don't get me wrong, I love that we have this technology where any and all can express their opinion in an instant, but people should really think first.
There is one comment about a failing grade being 70% in their school career "back in my day." I don't know when this existed, but really? And if this person did their homework and understood AYP, such a stupid comment wouldn't have been made.
I think I just joined the rant of the Opinion Line. OH NO!!
