• Oops: Oklahoma’s New 10 Commandments Monument Has 2 Typos

  November 17, 2012 at 10:16am

  This is a big issue for me, a former proofreader and teacher who believes that, if it’s going to public print, it had better be right. After a quick read of the twenty posts at this time, there were at least eleven posts with errors of spelling, punctuation, or grammar, many of them simple errors that don’t require much of an education to know. And that’s a quick read. If you are going to complain about someone else’s poor work, clean up your own. There is NO excuse for putting something in print with careless errors. Those of you who regularly post here and try to impress “us” with your superior intelligence do not do yourself or your credibility any favors when you misspell simple things like its/it’s, their/there, whose/who’s, and the like, and when you don’t know how to use who/whom, he/him, and like pronouns. I don’t know about others, but I tend to skip your post if it tells me that you are either of little intelligence or just don’t care.

• Krauthammer Predicts: Romney Will Win, But It’s Going to Be ‘Very Close’

  November 3, 2012 at 4:05pm

  I’m anxious about voter fraud, to be sure. However, I believe God is in full control. I await a huge miracle. I fully expect a landslide for Romney so that no one will doubt God’s power and His forgiveness for us, the errant ones. If it happens that Obama should win, I am convinced that, as Gonzo said, we’ll know exactly where we stand with God. Continue to pray for God’s forgiveness, both as individuals and as a country.

• Here Are 6 New Facts You Need to Know About the Abused Bus Driver Incident

  June 22, 2012 at 2:17pm

  OK, slow down on the blame game. Let’s spread it around. Absolutely, the ones who do the deed are ultimately responsible. However, remember that there are rules on a school bus. This incident could not have been the first. There are at least two adults on a bus in that district. The first incident should have been dealt with immediately. The driver should have pulled over and called headquarters telling them that he had pulled over, that he had told the kids that this is their only warning, and the incident should have been written up with as many names as possible. At the second incident, he should have pulled over, called headquarters, told them it was unsafe to proceed, and waited for assistance (or done that on the first if it was bad enough). Those kids should never have seen the inside of a bus again. Ms. Klein’s job was to maintain control to assure a safe ride for all. If any of the adults was unable to perform his or her duty, that adult should not have been employed in that position. And if one could not get the support of the administration, he should have gone over their heads until he got support. I have twenty years in the classroom teaching and subbing (grades 1-10). They can be a tough lot, but it can be done.

• ‘Hooking Kids on Sex’: Graphic New Vid Report Shows How Planned Parenthood Is Creating ‘Future Customers’

  February 15, 2012 at 1:21pm

  I could barely watch. I remember teaching (Lutheran school 12 or so years ago) and my husband telling me I had to know what the kids were exposed to. So I struggled with this. I could not bring myself to read the comments. I am so sickened. I would home school my grandkids if they lived close enough. Only God can fight and win this battle. Cling to Him. Cling to Him. Listen, follow His directives. Pray without ceasing. Help our kids!

• Business report: Maybe Oprah should have went online

  November 24, 2011 at 10:21pm

  Egad, Eddie. First “should’ve went,” then “none of us are perfect.” “none” is the subject of the sentence (not “us”). “None” is less than one and so must be singular. “None of us IS perfect.” My suggestion? At least have a headline proofreader so errors aren’t quite so glaring, and you don’t get so many of us doing this. I’d be glad to do that for y’all.
