AUGUSTA, GA – Does anyone else feel like they stopped maturing as a teenager and have been faking it since then? I’m sorry, what? I was thinking about “Twilight.”

In keeping with the mindset of some people in Augusta, since America’s white percentage rate is right at 80 percent, does that mean President Obama should step down and let another white man resume office? Come on, people! Enough already!

They say a million monkeys hammering a million typewriters for a million years will eventually write the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Whine Line, we know that’s not true.

This week’s Fine Whine was, appropriately, the funniest Jay Jacobs has ever done. I’m still laughing at the guy with the shark on his head!

The Endalls are like nails on a chalkboard. You guys aren’t getting any younger and, besides the five fans you have, we aren’t interested. Come on, Augusta, where did all the real bands go? Do I really have to drive to Athens or Atlanta when I want to hear good music? All I want for Christmas is a good band in town. No more cover bands.

The byproduct of sexual intercourse... AIDS and babies… can be circumvented with a condom. Condoms are free at the health department. It’s all good.

What happened to the Classy Guy?

So Augusta will have the Augusta Country Club and the Kroc, the Ghetto Urban Club.

[Name redacted] Irish Pub? Is “The Simpsons” franchising their jokes, now?

My Instant Lunch is my regurgitated lunch. Twice Removed should be thrice removed from... uh... my earshot. The only good band in town is Eryn Eubanks & theFamily Fold. Not enough instruments plugged into artificial music-making machines for y’all?

I loved Band Aide. Keep it up, Metro Spirit!

Hey, who won Band Aide?

Augusta you are a joke! I would not live in Richmond County on a bet with all the clowns in charge.

I wish people would remember the words of MLK: “We must learn to live together as brothers or we are going to perish together as fools.”

How do you have a really big event supporting local music and one judge a night? If there was a judge? I only saw one a night and I don’t think there was one. You can’t have a big band event and one judge. There needs to be multiple judges with different views and everything. I think My Instant Lunch was bogus! Twice Removed was unique also and brought a bigger crowd! I think it was judged and the check waswritten before everyone finished!

Thursdays won’t be the same without Band Aide... Now I have to go back to wet T-shirt contests. Aw, dang.

Third-world country-style coup d’état in Harrisburg West End Neighborhood Association. A lot more to follow.

Really love the whines about whining! Too funny.

Our fighting men and women protecting us live in fox holes, [endure] heat that we can’t imagine and cold, no showers, dirty clothes and look what people that broke the law, murdered, raped, etc., live in.

To those people who think our men and women in the service get enough pay, I say bull****.

All the oil may be in Texas, but the big dipstick is in Washington.

Augusta needs more jobs and investment so that the city/county politicians can tax them to provide more piddling handouts to their miserable constituents. Jobs and investments will continue to move away from Augusta’s gaping maw, and citizens and politicians both will continue to be baffled by it. Augusta is indeed revolting, but as the liver acts as a filter for the body, so will Augusta continue to absorb all that is most rotten in the Central Savannah River Area. Those of us who have moved out of Augusta can at least thank God for that.

Disabled (Military) White American: Thanks for your service. The only issue I have in your whine is your statement that we are waging war on corporations and insurance companies. You are correct and perhaps have put your finger on the reason China has all the jobs… not to say that there is not corruption in corporations or the insuranceindustry. On the other hand, some people seem to think making a profit is greed and corruption. If so, perhaps we all should be paid just enough to pay our bills and not “make a profit” on our poor employers. My friend, what you fought for and are suffering through was for the sake of freedom. What everyone is afraid of is the loss of our freedom. We are hated everywhere by tyrants and that will never change until we allow our government to become a tyrannical behemoth that we go to and beg to be saved from everything. I am afraid that, after 200 years, we are very close.

Wow! Did Austin Rhodes sendflowers, champagne and bons-bons to his new sweetie, Sarah Palin, along with that torrid love note of his the Metro Spirit thought so bodice-ripping it just had to be published? I’m simply bedazzled, my dear, that something like that, an actual real, live, genuine,conservative love epistle, could be published these days since, according to Mr. Rhodes and the infinite conservative commentator cut-outs just like him all over this country, conservatives have absolutely no voice “because liberals own everything.” Mr. Rhodes is fully aware he writes for a sort of... [an] anarcho-liberal publication each week, right? I think Mr. Rhodes should completely give up his social and political burblings, and indulge solely in his newly discovered talent — becoming the next Jackie Collins! Austin Lamour could be his handle.


To the military wife that had such a sob story. First, your husband is not fighting my (your, as you said) war, but America’s war. Second, grow up. You are not the first military wife that has a hard life. Get in line. There a few million in front of you, including my wife. Third, we managed to live off the very small monthly pay I got, and we didn’t have EBT to depend on. But we didn’t have a cell phone with all the added services or cable TV or big flat screen TV or new car payments. But we did live on a lot of mac and cheese, baloney sandwiches and tomato soup, and drove a six-year-old car and my wife couldn’t eat in the chow halls like spouses today. So, yes, we had it a little tough, but every G.I. around me had it the same way, so we kept our mouth shut and did our job. A few cry babies would always be complaining, but that’s normal. Lastly, many of us were draftees, so we weren’t promised a thing except three hots and a cot and all that was expected from us was to keep our mouths shut and follow orders of our NCOs and Officers. Being drafted was the best thing to happen to me. It made me grow up and know that no one owed me a thing. Because of those early years, I made the Army my career and retired a Senior NCO. By the way, Obama is totally wrong. This military is not the best ever: Our veterans from WWII and Korean Ware were the best ever to wear a uniform. I am a Vietnam vet and we don’t come close to measuring up to them.
