30 Seconds

These drives in New Philadelphia are ridiculous. Some of them are just snow-covered and ice-covered, and you can't get through. Some of them are plowed. I don't understand why they can't come down and throw some salt down them.

These athletes that are crying and boo-hooing because they're not getting fed or whatever, they should not have gone over. I don't feel sorry for you. You should not have gone to the Olympics this year. Boycott it.

I tried to watch some of the Olympics on TV, but all I see is commercials, talking heads and human interest stories. No sports.

I just heard on the radio that everybody is complaining about Dover's streets. I live in New Philadelphia. We also have the same problems with our streets. Some don't get plowed. We have potholes, and we have other issues. The difference is the people in New Philadelphia don't complain as much as the people in Dover, so you don't hear as much about it.
