Veterans celebration
I would like to invite those in Middle Georgia to help honor veterans by joining our local vets Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Veterans Square next to the courthouse in Hazlehurst. The event is sponsored by the Jeff Davis County Veterans Association Inc.
You will not be disappointed with the enthusiasm shown by the people of Jeff Davis County with their pride for our veterans. A special part of our program is dedicated to those veterans who received the Purple Heart. If you are also a recipient of a Purple Heart, please be there and we will recognize you too.
Our special guest speaker is Dal Cannady, bureau chief for WTOC-TV of Savannah. We're also giving away hand-held flags to the first 300 supporters attending the event. Additionally, the Veterans Association is adding 23 additional names to our Veterans Monument, which was dedicated in 2009. Please make plans to attend the celebration honoring all veterans on Nov. 11.

A true reality show
The Foxmedians are in a tizzy over the slanted spin of the CNBC debate moderators. Even their own "news teams" warns about the left wing liberal media that is CNN, CNBC, LGBT, MTV, NWA, OPP, ETC? They must have been tossing underhanded marshmallows at their practice debates.
"Donald Trump, what is your favorite color?"
"My favorite color is gold, are you kidding me? My entire penthouse is gold. You should see my toilet! Gold is the best favorite color there is. And I know because I hired the smartest people, way smarter than you, to find a color that is way better than Obama's favorite color. In a million years, Obama couldn't come up with a better favorite color."
"Ted Cruz, care to respond? My favorite color? I object to your mainstream media gotcha questions. You should be asking what kind of left-wing-baiting commie question is that? It just gives me the shivering willies ... is Jim Webb standing behind me?"
"Jeb Bush? About time. Do I need a gold pompadour and a confederate secessionist loyalty card to get noticed around here? Did you know that my brother was president? You did?"
Here's an idea. Since the debates are true reality shows, just call it "The Husbands of the GOP and that Chick" and vote off one each month for the next 15 months. There you have it, a hit show and a solid candidate with plenty of time to figure out answers to relevant issues by the 2020 election.

Any doubt?
Travis Middleton displays his ignorance of both biology and evolution, when he placed humans among invertebrates. It brings to mind the old saying, "It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be though a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt."

Harder puzzle
Thanks for giving us a more difficult crossword puzzle. I enjoy being challenged more and loving to think. The daily crossword is still much easier than Sundays. Please don't go back to an easier version.
