Jeers: To the person who hit a cat on Nov. 16 at Precinct Line Road and West Redbud Drive in Hurst and left. I called 911 and blocked traffic with my van. My young daughter and I watched it bleed to death while waiting for help. Jeers to the owners for not keeping the cat inside.

— Donna, Hurst

Jeers to you for blocking the road and not just moving the cat out of the way. If it were bleeding to death and you love animals so much, why didn't you pick it up and take to a vet? You douche. You created a back up for nothing. The police should have written you a ticket. Remember how the cat looked as it bled out? Project that image to your gut.

Jeers: To a southwest Fort Worth bakery that overcharges for gluten-free products. An 8-inch pumpkin cake, iced but not decorated and not a special order was $60. Taking advantage of those with dietary restrictions?

— Annetta, Fort Worth

So the fact that the company has to use special ingriedients that cost more shouldn't be taken into account when pricing the product? You're an effing dill hole. Special products have special prices ya moron. You're about to be gluten and 'gutten' free.

Jeers: To the northbound drivers on Hulen Street at Geddes Avenue who drive into oncoming traffic to make their left turn in the shopping center. Just go to the light (half a block) at Donnelly and you’ll get a green arrow to make your left turn. Otherwise, you just might find yourself on Fox News.

— Carol, Fort Worth

Being on Fox news is punishment enough...actually, getting into a head collision would be better than being on Fox news.

No more bowing

When I saw the picture of the president of the United States bowing to the emperor of Japan, I was filled with dismay and disappointment. No president of the U.S. bows to the leader of any nation. I know he did the same thing to the king of Saudi Arabia. The more I reflected on the embarrassment to our present generation of Americans, I recalled the sacrifices made by our military of World War II.

I was honored and privileged to serve in a Marine rifle company that was in the first wave to hit Red Beach No. 2 on Iwo Jima in February 1945. When the battle ended in March 1945, only 13 men of the 265 Marines in my company had not been killed or wounded.

I fully understand that we are at peace with the Japanese and count them among our closest allies. There is mutual respect for each nation’s military, as they serve together in the Pacific. But our president should bow to no one. I apologize to the Marines of Company A who gave their lives in defense of this nation. God bless America and our armed forces.

— George, Fort Worth

Respecting the culture of another nation isn't disrespectful to ours. President Obama bowed in Japan because that is the custom and as a guest in Japan it is respectful to the people of Japan to follow their customs. The same would be expected when the Emp. of Japan comes here.

Black Friday

On the day after Thanksgiving, my true love gave to me 12 advertisements, 11 cups of coffee, 10 extra dollars, nine super coupons, eight hours of shopping, seven months to pay off, six weeks of griping, five credit cards, four Eco bags, three new pens, two pads of checks and a trip to the bankruptcy court.

— Kate Titsworth, Arlington

First of all. Giggle on your name. Secondly. WTF? You're complaining just to complain here. If you don't like it, don't go shopping on Black Friday. Shut your hole, sit at home and get fatter.

Presidential proclamation

Thanks for printing Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Thanksgiving proclamation in the Thursday editorial. Wouldn’t it be great today if our president had whatever it takes to issue a similar proclamation acknowledging our thanks to God and our dependence upon him as a nation?

— Joe, Richland Hills

Wouldn't it be nice if people actually understood the meaning of Separation of Church and State. WE DON'T LIVE in 1863 anymore ya moron!

Who’s in charge?


Isn’t it time to change the name of Arlington to Jerryland and for His Honor Mayor Robert Cluck to admit who runs the city?

If I were warned not to oversell an event and then did by 100 percent, I would have been fined significantly. For his honor, it’s a learning experience.
If I had proposed a business that caused other businesses to close, I don’t think it would have been approved.

And now we have the Interlochen event cut back because of budget problems. How much of that budget is going to directing traffic for the stadium? Interlochen is an event that makes Arlington unique and brings people to the city in a positive way.

Do you think it would have been cut back if Jerry lived in the area? But Jerry lives in Dallas. I wonder how many Cowboys moved to Arlington.

— Marvin, Bedford

Oh Marvin, if that is your real name. Do the research before you start bitching. That stadium has created 1000's of jobs and will be bring in millions of dollars yearly just for being there. I'm pretty sure a bunch of houses decorated for a month isn't going to bring in the same figures.
