Regarding Saturday's front page: I cannot believe anyone would be remotely interested in hearing the 911 call made during someone's most horrific nightmare come true ("Mother, Her 3 Sons Discovered Dead"). Our city would be better served by attending a sporting event to see people at their finest. ...more

After reading all the horror stories of having to wait for hours to vote, I decided to tell my story. A friend and I picked up two elderly women (one 96 years old and the other 91- years old) at their homes and went to vote at the Government Center. ...more

I was taken aback while reading the Opinion section this morning. Your paper prints the column of Leonard Pitts, who I admittedly am unfamiliar with as I am currently stationed in South Korea and am just home for 30 days of leave to be with my family. However, in the opening paragraph, Mr. Pitts references his previous column and that he would like to question Sarah Palin about her attempts to ban books at the library in Wasilla, Alaska. This would not be so disturbing a statement if it came from a 12 year old. But coming from a columnist it is appalling. If Mr. Pitts were but to research his information rather than reporting as fact every bit of e-mail spam that comes across his desk, he would know that the story is entirely fictitious and that some of the books on her "list" were not even printed at the time she supposedly called for their being banned. I am providing the link dispelling the rumor for your readers: http://www.snopes.com/politics/palin/bannedbooks.asp ...more

Dear Abby: I recently lost my wife to a long illness. When she could no longer work, I tried to give her the best quality of life I could. It took a toll. I worked long hours to give her everything she needed. The medical bills were astronomical. All she ever wanted was me. ...more

NEW PORT RICHEY There is a Grim Reaper painted on the hood of the new Pasco County Sheriff's Office vehicle. Beneath the scythe-wielding image is the following message: "YOU DRINK "YOU DRIVE "YOU DIE!" Sgt. Art Rowand won the "DUI impairment vehicle" last month through the state Department of Transportation's Law Enforcement Challenge. He was the ninth of 10 contestants given a key to try to open the car. ...more

Other than Walmart, politics is the only arena where old people get all the jobs. But the Democratic National Committee set a goal this year to have 10 percent of its elected delegates be young, which the party defines as 35 or under. I'm guessing they define old as Robert Byrd's parents. ...more

On Thursday, Aug. 28 I read the article about the Arizona sheriff. I believe this man is right on target. He has saved the taxpayers a lot of money and made the criminals understand they are not in a recreation facility. It should make them think about breaking the law again in his county. ...more
