“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab†March 13, 2020
“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jabâ€Â was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE†or “Readers Forum†columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE†columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB† column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB†AND “MIDDLE JAB†AND “RIGHT JABâ€Â several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB†is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB†is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

ADOPT A PET
Beautiful Azalea is as pretty as the flower she’s named after! She’s 3 years old and she’s a Rex, meaning she has that incredibly soft plush-like fur. She was surrendered because the household’s other animals didn’t like her. She is now spayed, microchipped, and ready for her new home! Her adoption fee is $50. Remember, rabbits live 8-10+ years, so she’s not a short-term commitment by any means. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!
