11 MAY 04: TWENTY QUESTIONS
This is one of those occasional days when I merely ask the questions. I have no answers, but perhaps you do:
+ With the price of premium unleaded gasoline reaching $2.05 a gallon on Macon Road Monday, who actually buys it anymore - and why?
+ Shouldn't someone call for Dr. William Howell to resign as President of the Columbus Rainbow/PUSH Coalition? The United Way drive did better than his Sheriff recall drive - and people didn't have to pay anything to sign petitions....
+ Why does an "Assembly of God" church on Cusseta Road have its building AND its parking lot surrounded by razor-wire fencing? Is crime in the neighborhood that bad - or is a cult forming here?
+ If Winn-Dixie stores are selling "John Boy and Billy grilling sauce," will we soon see Georgia Freight selling the "Reggie Foster furniture collection?"
+ Shouldn't the top fielder for the Columbus Catfish receive a "Golden Glove" award? After all, he plays half the year in Golden Park....
+ Why does Muscogee County have a Superior Court, but not an Inferior Court? Is this discrimination?
+ Considering "Final Edition" only appears on TV-16 once a week, why does Jerry Laquire sound like such an unprepared bumbling oaf when he's on the air?
+ Why hasn't Brad Cotter come home to Opelika-Auburn since winning "Nashville Star?" Officials can finally throw the victory parade they've been waiting to give Terry Bowden and Tommy Tuberville....
+ Who decided to put a giant historical marker in the middle of the Phenix City Riverwalk? Especially one about the "tie-snake?" Is this someone's idea of scaring people away from walking right up to the river's edge?
+ If I watch "Fox-54 News at Ten" in the central time zone, am I still watching it "one hour earlier?" Or is it really two?
+ Why are Subway sandwich shops selling "Atkins-friendly wraps," when Jared lost all that weight eating regular sandwiches?
+ If Pastor Joseph Roberson gets elected to the Muscogee County School Board, will he work to have the Ten Commandments posted in all classrooms? If not, which commandment does he oppose?
+ Are Columbus Wardogs games less fun to watch because it's impossible to tear down the goalposts after a win?
+ If you say "thanks a lot" to someone in Harris County, will you get in trouble if you don't specify it's a two-acre lot?
+ Why do Columbus area libraries have so many Spanish-language magazines now? Especially since when I'm browsing through them, no one else is?
+ Why did Bill O'Reilly make such a fuss about Taylor County High School having two proms last year, but he hasn't said a thing about Toombs County High School having three this year?
(BLOGGER'S NOTE: Today's post was prepared without any knowledge of the latest Bill O'Reilly "15 Questions" column on his web site.)
+ Shouldn't Idle Hour Park in Phenix City change its name? Don't we want to encourage people to exercise, to lose weight?
+ How can two different Columbus TV stations show "Family Feud" at 10:00 every morning? Shouldn't one of them be required to run infomercials instead?
+ Should Kadie the "Kinnett Dairy" cow be moved to Kinnett Stadium? It could be for Shaw High School like that "rally monkey" was for the Anaheim Angels a couple of years ago....
+ Don't people in this area who complain about a drought have only themselves to blame? Why didn't they buy some buckets, and save flood water from last May?
