Looks like they have finally capped the oil at the bottom of the Gulf. They keep saying it might not hold, but as of right now, it is as tight as a politician’s donated money. They are working on a cuff that will be as tight as a politician using his or her own money.

To date, the only bad thing about changing the publishing date of this 112-year-old weekly newspaper to Wednesday is that we can't get the election results in until the next week.

If you are 80 or under and have a computer, we put the results on our newspaper website, so you can see it, subscriber or not.

When I first bought out this newspaper in the 70s, I was told by some of the big and little newspaper publishers that there wouldn't be a printed edition of the newspaper by the mideighties. I got busy seeing how we might stay in business without the printed word.

By the 80s, we were one of the first to produce a newspaper with a computer. We are still learning, but from the linotype to the computer and everywhere in between, I like the computer.

By the 90s, I could see where they might have been right about printed editions, just 40 or 50 years off, so I started working on a computer website. We are right proud of ours. You can read the Miller County Liberal each week on Tuesday before I get back with the printed edition, and the longer we have a website, the further back you can go into our archives.

Like everything we have today, it can be good or bad for us. The choice is really ours, like most of the good and bad of this world.

I have lived through a lot of ages and stages in these United States. I'm not all that sure which was the best of times.

When I was living around in the old Toole house, not 100 feet from where I am sitting at this computer, one of my favorite people in the world back then was Walter. He was a black boy who got me into more trouble than I deserved. If he got a whipping, I got a whipping, and vice versa. We got our share. Last I heard of Walter, he was in the U.S. Navy.

Our president, for whom I did not vote, I also do not support for what he is trying to do to America. With the help of the U.S. Congress, he is turning this nation into one of socialism. The U.S. Supreme Court is one Obama appointment away from taking many more freedoms that we have enjoyed during my lifetime that my children and grandchildren will not enjoy.

As I heard a preacher say, "We get the leaders that we deserve." In the last election, 11 percent of the registered voters cast their votes. That means that 89 percent of voting citizens didn't care enough to go vote. Shame on you.

No wonder we've got what we have to lead this country - a commanderin chief who has never served a day defending his country, a president, who has more political power over all of our lives, who has never had a real job, or won't even let anyone check his school records, working records or prove that he is even a citizen of this nation. Think of everything that he had done as a Christian and as a Muslim. Unless you are blind and deaf, there is no doubt where his loyalties lie. He and his Democratic bunch have bankrupted this nation so that our great-greatgrandchildren will have to pay for what Obama and crew have done in the past two years.

Saying all of that, Obama, our U.S. Congress and our Supreme Court are not our biggest enemies. To quote Pogo: "We Have Met the Enemy and They Is Us."

Our apathy of not running for these offices, or even voting for good, Christian leaders, is the biggest problem with Colquitt, Miller County, Georgia and these United States of America. Until we take back our governments so that they are governments of the people, instead of people of the governments, God save us, but He expects us to do our part and fight this takeover from within. The leaders of this nation are against God. We need to get rid of those leaders.
