A Georgia boy, no less!
Assisted suicide “ring” busted
Ever heard of the Final Exit Network? Me either. Apparently they’re a Marietta-based semi-virtual organization offering “support” to those who need “relief” from their suffering. That support and relief has brought four of its members to the attention of the GBI. It’s a little unnerving to look at the quite ordinary townhouse in Cumming where [...]
Friday Open Thread
By special request. For me it’s a tie between Neil Diamond & Charles Nelson Reilly. What’s up with Lionel Ritchie? Sure, $1.3 million is a lot, but bravo for refusing the bonus! So just how does one form one of these clubs? It’s elemental, my dear. Now is your chance for Atlantic Station digs. Hmmm… [...]

Hey look! Bobby Franklin has a twin!
Sen. Dave Schultheis, of Colorado Springs, on Wednesday opposed a bill requiring all pregnant women to be tested for HIV, so that if they are infected their babies can be treated to prevent the transfer of the virus. “This stems from sexual promiscuity for the most part, and I just can’t go there,” he said.
