Could the newspaper possibly print a list of counties where smoking is still allowed? How much is the individual cost of all 55 counties for their health departments?

There are a lot of coyotes in the South Hills area of Loudon Heights and Hampton roads. They've also been spotted off Ravinia and Smith roads. Is anyone going to do anything about this? They're killing our pets. People need to be aware and keep their animals indoors.

Concerning the protests against coal: I do not have anyone in my family who has ever worked for the coal mines, but I am for coal energy. If these people want to protest coal mining, they need to go to China and protest their type of mining. Their people are getting killed every day.

If paving crews don't pick up the pace on their work on I-64 between Teays Valley and Hurricane, we are going to be stuck with the speed-bump-like patch job until next spring.

If the county is looking for ways to cut spending by $500,000, they may want to start with their own county commission office.

Hillary Clinton needs to keep her nose out of Israel's business. It will be over if Palestine takes Israel's land, and Hillary needs to understand the Bible.

God bless West Virginia. Our state will give you a handout before it will give you a job.

Why is the Health Department not giving the swine flu shot to people over 65? Even if you have a chronic illness, they still won't give it. Where can we get a shot? Do they think we're just going to die anyway and we don't need it?

If the government wants revenue, it should legalize marijuana.

I do not like Rich Rodriguez, but I think I figured out why he left WVU -- to get away from Bill Stewart. And talking about there not being any sacred cows, the only ones up there are the coaches.

MSNBC says the reason that the governor's race in New Jersey and Virginia went Republican is because the Obama coalition stayed home. The reason they stayed home is because so many of the ACORN people are in jail. Look at Pennsylvania, it's favoring Republicans. But it's a coal state, too.

After standing in these lines, I'm going to Canada to get my swine flu shot.

When I was young, we had bedbugs and my mother tried kerosene and nothing would help. You just have to burn the mattress. That's the only way to get rid of them.

In previous years, government urged senior citizens to secure a seasonal flu vaccination early in the year before everyone else because they were more at risk. This year, senior citizens are at the back of the line. I wonder if this is the beginning of the rationing of medical care for senior citizens as we discussed.

The "public option" is a government-run health care bill. Who knows what else is in that huge bill and what the cost is? If only our president would tell us the truth.

Everyone seemed to have a good time at the Doo-Wop Car Show last month and it was good for the city. I hope next year the military is invited to the show. Show them a little respect. Put them at Haddad Park.

To the venter who is worried about early Christmas decorations: Bah humbug.

To the person who said Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno should retire because they don't wear headphones: How stupid are you? These guys probably have 80 years of experience coaching football. They don't need headphones. You need a life.

Turn your engine off when you stop. That'll save you money.

Especially if it's a diesel. Don't turn your car off when you stop, whoever printed that should be smacked. It's unsafe and unneccessary.

It takes more fuel to start an engine than it takes to run it for a short period of time. How long do you plan for the engine to be stopped before you shut it off?
