Yeah...I used the 'Something called and wanted their something back' joke twice in one post. Get over it!

Jeers: To anyone using the term "Nazi" to refer to federal healthcare reform. Trivializing such a horrendous chapter in history is insensitive and unconscionable. It is an insult to those who were directly affected by the Holocaust, living or dead. Stop listening to Rush and think for yourselves.
— Holly, Burleson

For once I actually agree with a ‘Jeers’ author. Anytime someone brings in Hitler, Nazis, or the Holocaust you’re voiding your argument completely. It’s immature, irresponsible, and asinine. When you get to the point where you’re using those references to defend your point, you truly have nothing. It’s a cop out, it’s easy, and it shows your utter lack of intelligence.

Jeers: To city code compliance departments that focus on residents’ properties to measure grass and fence heights or pink flamingos instead of commercial awnings that are dilapidated and old or houses that have tent "compounds" in their back yards that may have imprisoned victims of child molesters or sociopaths.
— Irma, Fort Worth

First of all Irma, 1927 called, they want their name back. Secondly, the JOB of the code compliance officers is to do just that. Measure lawns that look to be over grown, insure fences and homes are within city regulations, and cite those individuals who are not in compliance. And really, you’re going to reduce the California case to make a point? C’mon! Tent compounds? Really? Just because someone has tarps and tents in their backyard doesn’t mean they’re hiding people for their own pleasures. They’re probably just growing weed, cooking meth, or building a body suit out of flesh they dig up from graves. Geez, get a life.


Jeers: To the animal hospital that incorrectly diagnosed our cat and cost my family financially and emotionally. If the practice would have spent as much time actually observing the cat as it did trying to sell us products, perhaps it would have saved us both stress and money!
— Tara, Roanoke

Oh dear Tara. I feel your pain, most likely because I know who you’re talking about. You’re right. Your pet was probably put into a kennel, checked on every other hour or so, given some antibiotics, fluids, and a heating pad, all the while the nurses and doctors tried to figure out how to get you to sign up or purchase an awesome preventive care package that wouldn’t even apply to your pet’s current needs. Ummm, avoid that place in the future.

Jeers: To Arlington, Haltom City and other taxing entities that plan to spend millions to quiet train whistles at some railroad crossings. Haltom City located a library next to a crossing and placed "Quiet Please" signs inside. That should do it. Or maybe ban boomboxes in library zones the way they did cellphones in school zones. Are we Americans hard of hearing?
— Jack, Haltom City

Seriously, who uses the word ‘boom boxes’ anymore. “Ring ring. Ring ring. Hello. Hi there. This is 1982 calling, we’d like our term back. Thanks.”

Jeers: To Deborah Harsh for cheering Obama’s healthcare on Aug. 22. Read the bill and educate yourself. Medicare, the Postal Service and veterans’ benefits are just a few government-run agencies that are in trouble. Do you really want the government to run our healthcare?
— Ann, Fort Worth

Dear Ann,
Have you read the entire bill? You do realize that it’s over 1030 pages of legal jargon that would take several lawyers to decipher and translate for the typical layman. Do you not realize that 95% of all bills submitted for voting are never read through by the majority of both the House and Congress? Bills are posted at 12:01 AM in some cases and our voted on less than a day later. Bills that are 1000’s of pages long and would require reading 100’s of pages per hour just to get though. It’s time to let go of the ‘Read the Bill’ chant…
