Open Thread
It’s been awhile, and maybe some of you need to vent. I’ve have a busy day. First was shopping for Spring shoes, and aren’t these fabulous, made out of recycled TV’s. From OlsenHaus vegan Spring 2010 collection, more here. After that bit of exhaustive research I learned a little about Nikola Tesla. Why? Do I [...]

Georgia girl Elana Meyers strikes bronze at Winter Olympics
On the eve of the biggest day of her life, with bobsled partner nursing a hamstring injury that threatened to undo hundreds of training hours, Elana Meyers (left) of Douglasville sent me this email: “We’re not sure what will happen at the push, but I’m still optimistic we can contend for a medal.” What hue? “Gold is always [...]
Health Care Summit Stream
UPDATE: The White House feed has been spotty today. If the window below is black, go to the MSNBC stream here or C-Span steam here. JOIN THE LIVE CHAT VISIT WHITEHOUSE.GOV UPDATE: The Sunlight Foundation is posting political contributions of each speaker next to the stream. Fascinating.
The Dems AG Race has me confused
First off, I’m being really genuine…I am really confused about the 2010 Democrats Attorney General race. I’m confused about which of the two candidates to support, State Rep. Rob Teilhet or former Dougherty County District Attorney Ken Hodges. What usually sways me early on in primary elections are what strategies the candidates are taking to [...]
Keep picking your nose and blaming teachers… it becomes you.
So why is it that teachers are constantly getting the short-end of the stick? Tell me if you can see which way the winds are blowing when it comes to society’s view of teachers. Here is the front page of the U.S. Section of CNN.com. Click on it to see the full-size as it appeared [...]
Health Care Summit FAQ
What: Potentially interesting live broadcast of meeting between Republican & Democratic leaders from House and Senate regarding stalemate over Health care bill. President Obama will moderate the discussion, which will take place with 37 members of Congressional leadership (20 Democrats and 17 Republicans) around tables set up in a hollow-square in the 42-foot by 36-foot [...]
The county of horndogs and hypocrites
You’ve got to love the voters of Paulding County — they appreciate a good joke better than any other group of people I know. Where else in Georgia would you see the voters put such a colorful bunch of horndogs, carousers and hypocrites into public office?
What part of ‘no’ don’t you understand?
The U.S. Justice Department told Georgia election officials this week that their program for verifying the citizenship of voters has been rejected because it violates the Voting Rights Act. You would think that our state’s officials would have gotten the message by now — this is at least the third time in nine months that [...]
Georgia GOP – I got nothing but love for ya
So guess who is the newest Republican State Representative — Daniel Stout. Tonight, Stout won Glenn “I had lots of sex with that woman” Richardson’s State House seat in Paulding county.

Obama’s Health Care Proposal
Is finally here. If Thursday’s Health Care summit goes as expected, and the Republicans pick up their toys and go home, the Democrats may still have one last chance to get this done. Hope springs eternal.
We need a message now
Rasmussen is out with a new poll on Georgia’s Governor race. Roy Barnes’ numbers have dropped and he’s polling behind three of the top four Republican candidates. That doesn’t bother me so much because these numbers will just invigorate Roy to crank it up a notch. What does bother me a lot, a whole lot, [...]
Found: TeaBagger Lunacy
Apparently the TeaBaggers are chipping in their Social Security money, oh wait no, they are using their US savings bonds, to place billboards like this up in Lake City, Florida: According to the leaders, their message is: The cost of 10 months rental of the billboard and doing the artwork was $6500.
