SOUND OFF: Published October 6

In regards to the apartments, why didn’t the town have people paying rent send their rent payment check to the town instead of who collects the rent? That way the city would be ensured that it would get some of its money now, instead of it all going into foreclosure.

About the apartments that haven’t paid their water and sewer bills: whoever made the deal with them in their PILOT program should have their bank account investigated to see who’s been being paid off for such a deal.

•••

About the Wal-Mart pizzas selling for $8 in competition with local pizzerias: Budwey’s sells full-sized pizzas, three for $10 at 32 ounces.

Abe Lincoln never sent an e-mail, and he kept this country together.

I figured out a way to cut back on gasoline consumption. Everything we buy comes from China and has to be shipped cross-country. Let’s make it here, and cut back on excessive shipping. Oh, wait... we already have that with good-paying jobs and benefits. Oh, well. Hope my unemployment comes in time to catch the sales at Wal-Mart.

I predict that Joe Biden will, for some reason, step down as vice president candidate and be replaced with Hillary Clinton. That’s how transparent the liberal Democrats are.

What do you think? I’m thinking of running for president because I have six kids, I can multi-task, I can make a cake and at the same time have the laundry drying in the dryer. I can have breakfast on and have all the kids to school by 8 a.m. and then I can sit down and watch the soap operas. After that, I can get ready for the children to come home from school and have the clothes washed. In between, I might take a ride to the library and see what books they have there. I might read a book, but I better get home because it’s almost dinner time and every evening I have dinner on the table at 6 p.m. on the dot. Never late, because that’s the way I am. I can be kind of nasty sometimes, but people overlook that because I’m pretty and have a cute shape, too. But, I’m not going to have my face put on bikini posters. I think I’m very well-qualified. I don’t moose hunt, but I’ve gone bear hunting, even fell in the water. But I held that gun high and never got it wet. I think I’m well-qualified to be vice president or even president. Wouldn’t you vote for me?

About all the pharmacies: The people have to realize, or the common council in this town and Mayor Soos, don’t you realize there’s a drug store in every Tops? There’s a drug store on almost every corner. It’s like the old bars in North Tonawanda. And Wal-Mart has its own drug store. We’ve got Rite Aid, Walgreens. How many drug stores do we need? Is there something going on in this country that we need so many drug stores?
