Traffic Zing!s

TPD doesn't have enough officers to stop and ticket all the speeders on Thomasville Road.

Zing!

Is Chief De Leo being told that there is a quota to be met regarding speeding tickets?

Sound's like the Leon County court system, the Leon County Clerk's office, and the Court Administrator's office need to consider downsizing.

If our law enforcement would police area high school traffic, they would not have a deficit. Also, where do they go when schools get out anyway?

"Serious crime": being killed or injured in traffic due a speeder or red light runner seems quite serious.

DEP worker is sent home after sharing his climate-change views? Either believe like us or we will fire you! Shame!

I keep seeing negative comments about FSU basketball. Aren't Sue Semrau and her ladies part of FSU basketball?

Best future defense for a pervert exposing his authorized OEM reproductive equipment to women in a public facility will be to claim that he was born a male pervert but self-identifies as a female pervert.

Gwen, no matter how many reactionary liberals promise to not vote for you, I will offset their decision by voting for you! No matter how many trips to various polls or how many trips it takes me!

Obama won't confirm that ISIS is an Islamic terrorist group. He says it all depends on what the meaning of ISIS is.

Rather than getting frustrated trying to raise the bottom tier to an economic level above poverty, Tallahassee should adopt the Obama Model and simply lower everyone else to a point below the poverty level. Basic socialism, after all.

I'll bet Jackie Pons could get the Cascades bridge built, with all the frills, for just a lot more than the current estimates.

Gridlock is not caused by politicians playing party politics but by politicians putting the good of the party above the good of the people.

Not much has changed since the War of Northern Aggression -- the South is still here, brave soldiers from the South still defend their country, and blacks are still undermined, repressed and made dependent by Democrat Party politicians.

If you believe "at present we have the strongest economy in the world," then you should convert all your assets to cash and invest it all in the stock market (whose growth is fueled almost entirely by the cash infusions from the Fed into Wall Street).

All Zing!s should have an anonymous, assigned, but visible "sender code" attached by the newspaper. Zing!s would remain anonymous but readers could see that all the vile, vicious, poorly written faux conservative barbs come from one psychotic person.

If this becomes law, are we going to have bathroom police (what budget will that come out of?) and what is going to be the fine?

The best way to lower the poverty rate is to have Obama pen an executive order redefining the poverty level as being one-half of the average welfare check.

Concealed carry permits are not licenses to form a vigilante posse and charge off to the sound of gunfire. The idea is to be able to defend yourself and your loved ones as you move them to safety, AWAY from the threat site.

Thank goodness, the leader of the free world and defender of Western ideals was re-elected! Us? We're still stuck with the anti-America leftist liberal, Barack Obama.

Obama says Netanyahu suppressed votes because the SEIU union thugs flown to Israel were not allowed to cast ballots. Dead people from Chicago were not even allowed into the country.

Per ICE, there are 167,527 criminal illegal aliens who have been released into the US population. I'll add that most are likely armed and inclined to continue criminal activity. Do you carry? Is your family protected?

Q? When was the last time a pistol-packin'-do-gooder stopped an active shooter? A. NEVER!! Case closed. Keep guns off campus.

Has any university studied the IQ of those who throw trash on the roadsides?

Ah, spring. That time of year when all vehicles are one color: yellow.

Brazilians reelected their corrupt, socialist president and got a corrupt, socialist president. Sound familiar?

What is going on? Trying to restore the Everglades with her water, while at same time considering fracking legislation in Tallahassee!

Where's all the taxpayer money spent to build America's "green energy" system? Well, $2.2 billion was given to the Spanish -- not US -- company Iberdola. "Green" energy takes on a whole new meaning in that light.

Obama wants to make voting mandatory. I can just see it: Fail to vote, lose your welfare; if not on welfare, get fined; if illegal and fail to vote, get deported; if you vote but vote the wrong way, get arrested; if you vote twice, get a bonus.

Do people realize when they rail against "Tallahassee" it's the bozos they send here that they don't like, not the city?

Obama and Holder were both quick to condemn the gun carrying Black Panthers in Austin who chanted, during an "open carry" march, for the murder of police officers. No, not really. The official silence has been deafening.

Dick Cheney, a corporate crook and war criminal, has a lot of room to condemn Obama.

If Donald Trump, the talking pumpkin, runs for the presidency, he must produce his birth certificate.

As a true conservative, I demand the U.S. engage in more senseless military adventures so as to increase the wealth of the 1 percent.

A sincere thanks to Bush and the conservatives for the Iraqi War and the resulting ISIS movement.

Why are all conservatives so greatly influenced by Fascist/Nazi ideology? Obviously they don't subscribe to the tenets of freedom and democracy.

Most conservatives have proven many times that they are from the bowels of the Kochs.

Is it possible for Donald Trump to prove that his dad was NOT an orangutan?

How can a mythological deity care anything about the poor and taxes?

How much smoke does it take to realize there is a fire at LCS and put it (or him) out!

Netanyahu was reelected in Israel, in no small part due to Obama's efforts to unseat him. When all the votes were counted Netanyahu was ahead of Obama by integrity, leadership, rational awareness and concern for his nation and his citizens.

Best, but not profane, description of Hillary Clinton I've seen yet: "A person devoid of a moral compass and disdainful of compliance with law and a habitual stranger to the truth." Absolutely accurate, Judge.

If a retired bank president doesn't like TARP, odds are it's a very good program.

To the trucker who honked at me for driving the speed limit: The roads are dangerous at night! I saw your accident.

Where there are more guns, there are more gun deaths. That's what Marion Hammer is not saying!

Transcendental meditation has been added as an Olympic sport.

Read about it on CN ZEN watch on ESP ZEN.

City voters: Do you know the difference between former Mayor Marks and current Mayor Gilliam? Age.

Is this short enough?

Dollars don't know if they've been spent by a Democrat or a Republican. Either way they get added to the debt!

Live Oak Plantation Road sidewalks, $7.3 M pedestrian walkway over South Monroe Street: Can we have a recall vote on the penny sales tax extension?

I keep hearing negative comments about FSU basketball. Last I heard, Sue Semrau and her ladies were doing pretty well -- and they're part of FSU.

Bathroom scales and politicians may both lie, but only your scale even attempts to address the weighty issues.

If you paid attention to the "independent" votes Gwen Graham makes, you'd know how counter to her "campaign convictions" her votes are. So, who's the lackey, her or us?

Gwen Graham, in a refreshing surprise, is following her father's footsteps and truly becoming a representative "for the people."

Someone wrote that to run government like a business, we can start by getting rid of the governor and the Legislature and having a private business take over their functions. Too late.

BOG will continue to punish FAMU with Performance Funding until FAMU improves. Is that like if your medical doctor did not help you until you got well ?

Witness the anti gun libs who would tell Ms. Vasilinda she should not have had the option to defend herself from rape.

Based on Friday's definition, Senator Bill Nelson votes like a lackey.

Capital Circle NE and SE, along with Thomasville Road, could solve the County's woes over lost funds.

I'm guessing Mr. Bibler won't be asked to speak at future DOE meetings.

FAMU missing out on performance funding is an interim thing.

Do I have the record? I once had four Zing!s published in one day after the Zing!meister split my third one into two.

Let's start with guns in the House and Senate chambers and see how that goes.

Hey liberals: why do you trust bad people to be lawful?

When you say FSU basketball is heading in the wrong direction, we suggest you check out the FSU Women's Team.

Friday's "Mallard" comic was a pretty good take on Gerald Ensley.

Was there a valid reason the Florida Division of Forestry "had" to do a prescribed burn on St. George Island during "Spring Break" week ?

If the guns-on-campus bill becomes law then we should all obtain a concealed weapons permit and pack heat whenever we visit any campus.

Heads up, young moms and dads. Helicopter parents create boomerang adult kids. I wish I had known that years ago.

Nice to see that the Democrat still has opinions on something. Spot on with the campus gun issue.

Can, will, should, could the poor work their way out of poverty.

Taxpayers give 60 thousand per family per year living below the poverty line in welfare entitlements.

30 percent of Tallahassee residents live below the poverty line. We need to lower the poverty line.

It's about time for the people who falsely claim their foo-foo pet is a service animal - and shame on any physician that signs off on their selfish claim!

The confederates were every bit as American as the Union soldiers. They all started out as foriegners. They had different desires for their government, the same as anyone fighting a civil war. Different desires from the winning side does not mean they do not deserve honor for their effort.

The south side needs to pay close attention to slipping further and further behind as to income and education.

Tallahassee, the former All America City, is increasingly becoming more segregated by income and education.

The poor in Tallahassee are becoming out of sight, out of mind and out of luck. Not an All-America City.

Before we enter the All-America City contest we need to get the FBI out of town.

Was the School Board attorney's legal advice ignored, followed or never given?

When the victim presents her gun, the rapist will present his. Back to square one with maybe more serious consequences.

The real reason for the decline of court revenue and speeding tickets is that 30 percent of Tallahassee roads now have speed humps and 90 percent of Tallahassee drivers now crawl along at 10 MPH below the speed limit. Step on it, folks!

Rep. Williams needs to occasionally represent the whole state of Florida.

We need to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor before we enter the All-America City contest.

My wife must've been on the Rodeo Circuit at one time. She keeps saying, this is not my first rodeo.

Supt. Jackie Pons is starting to look old!

Bibi is only a liar if you believed him the first time.

Barak Obama should take it as the highest compliment that Dick Cheney thinks he's the worst president in his lifetime, considering Cheney's role model!

Now Bibi, it's time for your one state Israel to become a democratic nation. Voting rights anyone?

So the USA is going to allow China to have the world monopoly in rare earths and minerals and let companies like Molycorp just fold up and disappear. That makes me just a little bit more uncomfortable with the products we buy.

It wasn't that President Obama was hoping that Netanyahu lost his election, the President was complicit with others in trying to make sure that Bibi lost. Of course this won't see the light of day.

After Hillary "accidentally" having hundreds of congressional FBI files at the White House, do you think that having your own covert email server is beyond her capability?

Would women just stop with the blouses and jackets that expose half their breasts and just go topless so we can do away with the "fashion" hypocrisy?

Inaugration? Investiture? Invitation-only? Did I miss the white smoke?

The commissioners are going nuts with new unneeded sidewalks and should work on our streets, like Gibbs. Oh, but that's OK. it is only in Frenchtown. Never mind.

Who has done more to control the far left political reach than Gov. Scott?

Best way in Tallahassee to have a conversation about race is to buy a Starbucks coffee.

Since the minimum age for obtaining a concealed carry permit is 21, how are those 19- and 20-year-old coeds going to fend off a rapist?

When was the NRA elected to the Legislature?

Since female freshmen face the greatest risk of rape, should they all be issued with guns upon arrival at FSU? That seems to be the logic behnd the current discussion.

Ever wonder what an Ancestry.com audit of the LCS District and its vendors might show?

You can make fresh produce available in "food desert" areas, but are you going to make a law to make people buy, prepare and eat it?

Making fresh fruits and vegetables available to those who want them is a noble effort. However, there should be a one measurement made periodically of how much produce rots and is thrown out. If people are not buying it. please stop wasting the money.

Listen people; if you just do what an officer of the law says to do (whether you have committed an act of breaking a law or not) at the time of the encounter you will not be harmed or shot. If you're innocent, things will be OK for you. Very simple.

For those of you who feel our young college people are not mature enough to carry a concealed weapon on college campus, the same young people (age) are allowed to serve our country and defend it with weapons that kill. Go figure!

If you get points for arrogance, Tallahassee liberals win the All-America City Award.

Have no fear Tallahassee business owners, there will be not riots or burning of your business because the man killed at Lake Ella was "white man" as stated in the Tallahassee Democrat.

Tallahassee airport service is so limited, legislators have to fly to Georgia to get back to Florida.

Seems like the paper is giving free advertising for those club seats.

Wouldn't allowing students to openly carry AK-47 weapons act as more of a deterrent than a concealed handgun?

Move over, Marion Hammer. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda is the new darling of the NRA!

TPD must have rejected the theme song "Bad Boys" in favor of "Another One Bites the Dust" ...

The millionaires who live on Live Oak Plantation Road could pay for the sidewalks that will benefit only them, out of their pocket change. Let's let them.

Where is the outrage from Bill Proctor about the building of sidewalks on Live Oak Plantation? There seems to be only one person on that street that wants them.

We've got a whole lot of dots that need connecting around here...
