Onions to

people who don't realize how many jobs were sucked out of America to China and Mexico.
whoever designed the stoplight sensors that will go off when a car is there but won't go off for motorcycles.
the doctor's office that you can't get a hold of because they take their phone off the hook.
The Republic for not mentioning The Battle of the Bands conducted Friday night at Mill Race Park.
the fast-food drive-through that gave me the wrong order.
The Republic for forgetting that Democrats buy their paper too and would like equal coverage in the gubernatorial election.
the snoopy neighbor who thinks he rules the neighborhood.
the motorcycle riders who speed up and down Wedgewood Drive and litter the street with their fast-food trash.
the person who killed the kitten and left it in the street on Streamside Drive.
