our do-nothing representative who didn’t even bother to vote on the gun safety bill that is now law.

the cashier assuming when people shop together they are from the same household and it’s her job to enforce quantity limits.

raising our taxes to attract teachers when there is a statewide problem, making that just a scam to get more money.

the uptight and rude people of Bartholomew County when surrounding counties are so much nicer and at ease.

the writer that is in deep denial as he needs to look at the present federal elected official and all of his lies.

not having a reason to celebrate Fourth of July, since the fascist court took away a Constitutional right of women, and wants to take away more.
