Savannah Feels the Pinch
And so it goes, as a crisis born in the mortgage collapse and sent into overdrive by Wall Street’s financial disaster now spreads to the broader economy. In this port city, near the mouth of the Savannah River, the downturn is chipping away at expansion and prosperity, dimming a 20-year boom. The unemployment rate in [...]

Big Daddy?
Am I the only one who finds this extremely disturbing?
Bad “Judge”ment
New Rule: No Robocalls on Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving. Usually I have a full table, a full menu, and several full loads in the dishwasher. While I have come to expect robocalls from candidates and their supporters in these “nutty” days just before an election, calling on Thanksgiving is just unforgivable. While I was relaxing [...]
Thankful
Among other things, today I’m feeling thankful for YouTube. How about you? View video here.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Wishing you all a lovely sunny and safe holiday. Tell us what you are up to today. Here’s our President Elect yesterday, at a school and helping to distribute food at a local church. Yeah, you just might cry a little.

Today’s indication that we are in uncharted territory
Everyone knows that ’tis the season to give gift certificates, but in a probably-unprecedented development, you can now get your relatives in Indiana Planned Parenthood gift certificates. The organization is quick to point out that while they can indeed be used toward abortions, the idea is to use them to pay for preventative health care [...]
Go.See.This.Movie
Last night, I had the unexpected pleasure of attending Milk – the movie . My new BFF David Heyward of Touching Up Our Roots, scored us passes to the screening at Atlantic Station sponsored by Creative Loafing.

Outrages.
I’m voting for Jim Martin because as a veteran, I believe he would work with the US Senate and President-Elect Barack Obama to change bullshit like this: Marine Cpl. James Dixon was wounded twice in Iraq — by a roadside bomb and a land mine. He suffered a traumatic brain injury, a concussion, a dislocated [...]

Quick Update from Albany
Lance and I went out and canvassed a ton of houses this morning and here’s two stories to make you smile. First, I asked an older man whether he had heard about the run-off between Martin and Chambliss. He said, “Yeah, Obama called me last night.” Score 1 for the Obama / Martin robo-call! Later, [...]
