So funny to read these posts for ticket requests !!!!!!!!!!!! I hope these people are not really expecting to get them from a blog site with the Journal News !!!!!

Please consider my submission for tickets I am a 24 year old female who was inspired to vote for the first time and voted for President Elect Obama. The American dream seemed impossible for a long time I considered it the dormant stage. The hope of the American people declined as day by day and silent for far to long. The victory proved that we have awaken and are up to to a new journey and new beginning The New American people indeed have lifted their voices and driven by the action and desire to be heard and the desire for change the voices of the American people finally, heard loud and clear.

Oh dear, it looks like some of you have gotten into the consultent’s martinis…unfortnately, I cannot say all of you.
I can’t take it anymore – if we can’t shoot the posters, please shoot me
I am completely disgusted with the lack of reading skills by these people.
you can thank the fine educational system we have for
that…they can’t read and they can’t write or spell
nor can they speak in coherent sentences…you know why?
because the educators decided awhile ago that teaching
English fundamentals like parts of speech, adverbs
adjectives, prepositions, etc were not important.
they taught the “whole language” where kids were
expected to pick up the grammer themselves…you know
any kid who can learn grammer on his own…if you do
let me know?
I am profesir at prestingius city colege en i need tikits for 60. why does only dumas reporters get to go. many flags are floating for goodnes en wonder, en peeples need tikits en cars to get to the bilding. and cosnultant- grammar is spelt with the a, not the e.
We need to revive Warner’s English Grammar and Composition.
Anyone remember that textbook? Aah, for the days of diagraming sentences. Who knew we’d miss that?
It’s so pathetic.
It’s Over. It’s Oooooover! Who knew that Roy Orbison would be judged as a prognosticator and a prophet? These days one with a 90 IQ is judged as a pretty smart fellow.
believe it or not for those with iq’s in the middle range
if they can see it they will remember it..many times
their visual spacial and memory talents exceed their
reasoning ability..so diagramming is just the thing
that they need…but since the schools teach one way
and one way only…that is for the benefit of the kids
taking the sat’s and going to upper level colleges
the entire middle is left to sink or swim
