"There's two items in the news I want to comment on. One of them is the resolution that the city commission wants to send to the federal government about starting a war in Iraq. I don't believe that the city commission should be entering into that either way. They represent all the people of Key West; some people are for it and some people are against it, so I don't think the city commission should be entering into that kind of a fray. And the second comment I would like to make is about Julio Avael's five-year contract. I hope the commissioners are smart enough to know that we cannot afford another five years of Julio Avael. If they want to do a year at a time, that's fine. But a five-year contract is not a good way to go because this makes a person feel like they're more of a dictator than an employee of the city."
"It's not that the American public should stand by its soldiers and stand by its president. No, the president of the United States should stand by the American people, and the soldiers of the American people should fight and stand for Americans. ... I just can't say it enough, that the American president and the American military work for and should appreciate the opinion of the American people, not the other way around."
"About Commissioner Oosterhoudt's recent no-panhandling zone, what he has done is gotten the panhandlers out of his area, out of his neighborhood, and out of his view, and pushed them into the surrounding areas. My area. Thank you for nothing, Commissioner Oosterhoudt."
"Wolfpack? What an aggressive, immature title. Why not something like traffic safety squad? Shows again the Key West Police Department's power trip mentality. Red light runners and speeders go on all week long. Why only Friday and Saturday night? To get more MAD DUI awards? Don't want to give tickets. Give us a break."
"Has anyone else but me noticed how much construction is going on, houses are being built, now that the FBI is investigating Pritam Singh? Think about it."
"... That comment I made about houses being developed with Pritam Singh being under investigation, you probably [don't] understand what I meant, so I will explain it to you. The county was most likely holding on to all these permits for people who have been trying to get their houses built for years. And now that Pritam Singh is under investigation they want to cover their own asses, so they are finally letting people build their houses. And I also notice they are going up fast, so inspectors aren't hassling them and harassing them like crazy. Now do you understand?"
"In response to the comment on the madman in the White House. You could have had Hitler or Saddam as a leader. ... "
"Congratulations to members of the Key West High School band for the wonderful concert they put on last Thursday evening."
"Gary Condit is a skirt-chasing sex maniac. And he said as far as he was concerned, women were his to use, abuse and dispose of. And that sounds like our president we had a couple of years ago. What do you think about this, ladies that love Clinton?"
"Yes I wonder how I can sleep tonight, knowing that Beavis and Butthead are in the White House. This really scares me."
"Yes. I don't see anything strange about Scott Smith having a DUI conviction, considering there are Key West police officers who drink on duty. ... "
"Isn't it illegal to ride your motorcycle across the pedestrian bridge? Gee, the police department should ticket their own. I just saw a Key West police officer ride his motorcycle across the pedestrian bridge."
"I'm an RVer and I take exception the uninformed rantings of those who assume holding tanks are irresponsibly dumped in our shopping centers and at the beach parking lot. Where is the mess, if that were true? Perhaps you should wonder why the beaches are periodically closed because of a high e-coli count. Could that possibly be from the thousands of boats anchored off our shores, as e-coli stems from human waste?"
"To the person that is trying to say Jimmy Weekley doesn't hire the needy, he's never been in a Fausto's."
