Rant and Raves for Jan. 5

This is dangerous

“Since the shootings in Newtown, Conn., I read in the Tifton Gazette that an 18- year-old male reported that two shotguns were stolen out of his truck at a high school basketball game. Why would he carry shotguns to basketball game? This is dangerous.”

Great dancers

“I really enjoyed watch- ing the young ladies from the dance studio in Ashburn perform at the basketball halftime. They looked classy and professional — very en- tertaining! Great job instruc- tor and dancers!”

Not logical

“‘It's a right’ says he does- n't need a logical argument against gun control since the Second Amendment gives him the right to possess guns. He is correct. That was the holding of the Supreme Court and there is nothing logical about it.”

Thanks for helping

“David and Dave very much appreciate the help of Janie Rousey and the staff at DFACS. Her patience, hu- mor, kindness and profes- sional demeanor are an as- set to those of us struggling to accept governmental as- sistance and retain our sense of pride.

    Dear Public School Teachers in Georgia: It looks as if you have survived another year of underwhelming support from state legislators, many of whom would kiss a tree toad if so instructed by the anti-public education crowd. I know it is frustrating but as my daddy used to say, consider the source.

    You knew this was going to be a special season.  
    From the season-opener, a 7-5 win over Crisp County and UGA signee Robert Tyler, to the very last pitch in Marietta May 15, the Tift County baseball team took us on a great journey that reached even further than on the baseball field for me.

  • May 21 Column – George F. Will

    Leaving aside the seriousness of lawlessness, and the corruption of our civic culture by the professionally pious, this past week has been amusing. There was the spectacle of advocates of an ever-larger regulatory government expressing shock about such government's large capacity for misbehavior. And, entertainingly, the answer to the question "Will Barack Obama's scandals derail his second-term agenda?" was a question: What agenda?

    As a grandson of Henry Harding Tift and a long-time resident of Tift County, I would like to tip my hat to Edd Dorminey for the pivotal role he played in petitioning the state legislature to officially recognize the original intent that Tift County be named in honor of Capt. Tift.
