“If I were not civilized I would say that Yankee Stadium offended me. It doesn’t, on the other hand, offend me if you went to Atlanta and named the new stadium Confederate Stadium. The uncivilized would be marching in the street.”

“I have always been a Democrat going back three generations but no more. The way the Democrats are acting in Washington, D.C., I will never vote for another Democrat at the federal level, the state level or even at the local level.”

“Now that my leg is casted I have a new appreciation for handicapped people and the trials and tribulations, the challenges, they go through. Walking on crutches really stinks.”

“Got my drive-by flu shot and was relieved to see the menacing, black, double cab Dalton Code Enforcement pickup truck parked there. Those flu shot tents appeared to be out of compliance.”

“People are always talking negative about Trump, but I tell you I support him in building a wall. You tell me a wall is not needed? I definitely support that.”

“Judge Kavanaugh’s high school and college behavior is being scrutinized, as it should be. He presented himself as a choirboy. We’re learning he is lying. His temperament has been exposed as unfit.”

“To the person with the comment ‘Dalton is becoming more and more like Chattanooga.’ Don’t you wish?”

“I am so sick and tired of hearing people talk about older people. I don’t know if they think their time on Earth is going to be shorter than the older people, as they put it. I hope they live to be an old age. But I hope, too, that they see that what they’re saying now about older people applies to them as they get older. It will apply to them. They need to think twice before they talk about older people.”

“I’m tired of the media taking hearsay stories and printing them as fact. Hearsay won’t even stand up in a court of law. And then everybody tries it in the court of public opinion and renders the news media as only a fictitious group of characters.”

“I watch the Canadian Football League, not the National Football League.”

“Hey, high school football referees, you’re going to ruin high school football by throwing flags after almost every play.”

“Go Falcons, and take the Braves with you.”

Editor’s note: So the Hawks and Atlanta United can stay?

“Hey, I saw where the Falcons were in first place. Never mind, I had the paper upside-down.”

“I guess the Dolphins won’t be going undefeated this year. That’s something that the New England Patriots don’t know nothing about.”

“I was wondering if the gubernatorial candidates for Georgia governor were going to have their high school annual reviewed under a microscope, or even their middle school annual investigated under a microscope. If they’re running for governor they might need to have those things looked at. Wait a minute, Abrams is a Democrat so she has nothing to worry about.”

“The Democratic Senate Judiciary is trying to change the basic structure of our government from the Constitution to the Ten Commandments. If they are successful, I will become a Democrat forever.”

“If New Balances are made in the USA, why does mine say made in Vietnam?”

“That new comic ‘Wallace the Brave’ is about as funny as ‘Doonesbury.'”
