— Thank goodness the News of Yesteryear is back in The Griffin Daily News.

— People will make any excuse to drink. They say that Jesus made wine, but the wine he made was non-alcoholic wine. It’s despicable that people will use that as justification for drinking.

— Well, I guess all you senile old folks didn’t read the fine print. It would seem that what you voted for was not exactly what you thought you were voting for. I guess you only voted to give permission to spend your tax dollars on studies to determine if you really need a new senior center. Well, live and learn, and learn and live.

— I think it’s great that The Griffin Daily News runs My Two Cents. Let the village idiots have their 15 minutes of fame.

— I see that the General Assembly is going to pass a bill to allow counties to kill individual SPLOST projects. Maybe this will be a way for Spalding County to abandon the senior citizens center project.

— It’s very obvious that left-wing Democrats do not want to help fix the deficit in any state or the federal government. I just don’t know if they are stupid or brain-dead. They have passed everything that is detrimental to our society, without any Republican input. In other words, they’ve rammed it down our throats.

— The two men recently arrested for stealing copper have already got their get-out-of-jail-free card. The only way they would have had to serve jail time is to have been caught stealing the air conditioner at the home of the district attorney.

— Our grandchildren requested that we take them to the circus in Atlanta. I suggested that we attend a BOC meeting instead, as it would be much more entertaining and not cost anything.

— For 35 years we have paid taxes to Spalding County on three properties. We have neither sidewalks nor street lights. New, old or added-on, we would like to have a senior center in our lifetime that we can celebrate birthdays or anniversaries, and have more than 50 of our friends and a kitchen, neither of which the present center has.

You can believe all the fairy stories you like, but the FACT is (there's that dirty word fact) everybody drank a lot of wine during biblical times, the alcohol in it made it a lot safer than the water. Try reading a book or two.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this bill by Knight put the SPLOST money back up for vote? The elected officials cannot just do it on their own.

As far as SPLOST go lets just own up to it. The folks wanting to insure the vote carried for the Industrial Authority initiative. They hoodwinked the old folks to make sure it passed. Anything that comes out of the senior center funds will be second rate at beast.

You know what's really funny? I'm looking at the words in the box below. The one where you have to prove you're human. The words are and I'm not kidding. hotown 101. How appropriate.

Demand responsibility for the funds for the senior center. An audit would be nice. Representative David Knight (R) Griffin is the bufoon that introduce legislature to allow counties to abandon any SPLOST that is no longer financially feasible. Once all the money was spent on 800 mhz and study after study the Senior center is probably no longer financially feasible. Once this bill passes the general voting public will have no legal recourse against those responsible for squandering our splost money. You better call every lawmaker in Atlanta and object to this foolish behavior. If this law passes then any splost that is voted for is in jeopardy of having the money stolen and put into the general fund to pay for pocket porks and such oh I meant pocket parks. Fruedian slip I suppose.

I am Not a Biblical scholar, a village idiot maybe, but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. They happened to have a Bible in the nightstand by the way. I have read the Bible and don't think Jesus was making fruit punch that day. Not to ruin your world but alot of things that are frowned on today such as polygamy, prostitution, adultery and yes, getting plastered were happening. It must be a nice, neat litle world you live in though so don't let any facts ruin it.

So I guess Lot's daughters got him drunk on enough 'non-alcoholic wine' that he had no problem having sex with his daughters....two nights in a row.

To the person that stated so authoritatively "That the wine Jesus turned from water was NOT of an alcoholic nature", my question: How would you know this? Were you on the guest list that night? I've read that passage from the Bible, and I didn't see any disclaimers.

Also: To the person that stated "My Two Cents allows the village idiots their 15 minutes of fame", well guess what chum, you just had yours!

To the person that keeps calling people that write to "My 2 Cents" village idiots. Why do you continue to read a section of the newspaper that you apparently do not like? Seems to me you're the one that's an idiot.
