— — That NT police officer was only trying to help. He has done it before. My son faced some serious charges but we have known Nathan for a very long time and he put in a good word for my son. No one cared then, why should anybody care now?

I would like to take the time to thank the manager, and the employees at the Fish Place on Robinson Road here in NT. I had a very sick fish, Charlie, who is 4 years old now. He wasn’t eating, and had these red spots all over, and looked very sore. The manager and employees were very helpful; they told me what I needed as far as medicine and also how to change the water. And my fish looks so good now, just about healed. Thank you so much for being so kind to me and helping me and showing me just what to do!

So Nancy Donovan swears that she did not make contact with her allies. No problem. I get it. She had someone else do it for her so she could stand up and make that statement ... just a quick thought.

•••

So this privileged child, of this council woman, got away with the DWI because it was her first one. Well, you know what they say, might be the first time caught. How many hundreds of times has she been out there, driving while she was drunk?

•••

It is definitely not fair that a councilwoman’s daughter was able to skate on a DWI charge. I think the attorney general should be brought into this and have this case checked out and see what can be done. Obviously, the charge probably can’t be reversed, but I think criminal actions could possibly be taken because what they did was basically break the law. From what I understand, you can’t be charged with a non-alcohol-related offense when you’re arrested for an alcohol-related offense, so again, politics at its finest.

So, the Democrats don’t want to extend the Bush tax cut, so they can keep spending like drunken chickens. They complain about Republicans not voting for the 9/11 fund, because they want to pay for illegal immigrants. What a bunch of children. Hopefully every single one of them will be kicked out.

I would like to sincerely thank the man who put money in my hand at the Canal Fest, saying “God told me to give this to you.” It was a very generous surprise and I didn’t have an opportunity to thank you. Thank you and thank God.

We can let Donovan and Violante have their cake, but they won’t eat it, too. They’re going to get their way this time, but when it comes to election time, I will vote against them. I don’t care what party their opposition belongs to and I don’t care how incompetent they are.

•••

I urge all Americans to tune to Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert on Comedy Central if they want to see what is really going on inside the Republican party. They may be comedians but they reveal real news stories. Republicans, I urge you more to watch them because your party is being taken over by crazy people. I’m not kidding with this; you will have your eyes opened and find out what is really going on. Don’t be afraid.

OUR VIEW: Now who’s waging class warfare?
It was absurd for Republicans to cast President Obama’s call for a slightly higher income tax rate on the wealthiest Americans as class warfare.

There is no way the United States can afford a care package like Obamacare. This man has been a failure in everything he has done.

TUCKER: Another side of the SPCA
With all the negative news about the SPCA of Niagara County, it seems a good time to weigh-in about the wonderful SPCA Serving Erie County.

NT taxpayers beware: The district is facing a $1.5 million shortfall this year. Yet the district continues to have tech and music teachers with only 4 students per class while the academic classes continue to have 30 to 32 students per class. Where are the district’s priorities? Why are we teaching private vocal lessons to only a few?

ADAMCZYK: The return of The Slash
A recent column in this space about the myriad effects of personal technology (smartphones si, singing toothbrushes no) mentioned the curse of lifelong learning, that carousel of constant vocational training and retraining forced by a life on a globe spinning faster and flattening faster than society can cope, and that’s where the commentators keyed this in this week’s virtual mailbag.

Keppeler: Give me shelter
I hate the cold.
Most winter days in the Tonawanda News newsroom, I’m sitting here wearing my coat. (I’m doing it right now, as a matter of fact.)

Given all the “findings” reported at the Niagara County SPCA, it’s hard to understand why a third party has not been appointed to audit and review the status of the Erie County SPCA. According to several reports, both agencies work closely together on a regular basis. I think it is time the Erie County SPCA's practices and procedures be investigated as well. Based on encounters family members and I have had with the Erie County SPCA, I certainly hope they treat their animals better than they treat the people who come through their doors.

OUR VIEW: SPCA off to good start
We were pleased to see members of the SPCA of Niagara’s board of directors take swift action and fire Executive Director John Faso on Monday.

DUVALL: To the moon, Newt!
Normally I would jump at the chance to make fun of Newt Gingrich for saying something zany like how he plans to build American colonies on the moon.

Boy, that's too bad about what happened to Vito's sign. I hope they throw the book at that guy! Just like that other restaurant in Budwey Plaza. The scene they made in front of everyone. They did nothing but embarrass themselves. If you don't know how to run your business properly, don't go blaming everyone else!
