The state legislators A few of the State Legislators of Georgia apparently had nasty things to say about the Atlanta Police department after last Thursday’s traffic snafu in downtown. Rep. Edward Lindsey (R-Atlanta) said. “Yesterday, you let down the citizens of Atlanta, our commuters, and our guests to these great conventions. This is simply unacceptable …

Bin Laden for President?
Grandad has the scoop. Osama Bin Laden has thrown in his hat for the Presidency in 2008.
Kennesaw is Armed to the Teeth
One of the blogs I read, Deltoid, came out with this tidbit today, about my neigboring town, Kennesaw, Georgia. It discusses the relationship between gun ownership and burglaries, and it mentions that Kennesaw passed an ordinance in 1981 that required all heads of household to own a firearm and supply it with ammunition. It was …
War on Christmas
There is a new perpetrator in the media-hyped “War on Christmas.” This “new aggressor” (as mentioned by The Moderate Voice) is shamefully ignoring its own conservative base, the very ones who initiated and continue to perpetuate this mythical “War.” I need to “use” more “quotations” in this entry to make it seem more “visual”
Polar Ice Albedo and Ponderings
I’ve been reading (not exhaustively) Realclimate.org since it popped up on the 2006 Best Science Weblogs nominations. I like science blogs that stretch what I know about topics, yet are not so far past me that I can’t make heads or tails. This entry I find cogent and fascinating. It reminds me that topics such …
Republican Shenanigans
Of course, I, being the good centrist that I am, prefer to say “Political Shenanigans” as I have no confidence that this kind of crap doesn’t go on with democratic staffers too. What would I do without Pharyngula to feed my funny-hunger?
A Traitor to her Sex
This evening on NPR’s All Things Considered, Nadia Colin (spelling uncertain) of Texas was quoted saying that women shouldn’t be elected president. She said, “Coming from Texas, I think the majority of us feel that with a male leader we feel safer. I would not vote for a woman president, ever.” It is the year …
It's all the fault of the School System! We Need Accountability!
I laughed out loud at some of the questions on the quiz. If only some people didn’t actually think this way… Your ‘Do You Want the Terrorists to Win’ Score: 94% You are a terrorist-loving, Bush-bashing, “blame America first”-crowd traitor. You are in league with evil-doers who hate our freedoms. By all counts you are …

My Pick for 2008!
We are one step closer to my fantasy ticket for 2008. McCain-Lieberman!
Democratic Stronghold in Georgia and other Musings…
Today was day-after-elections, as I’m sure you all are aware (if you’re a US reader). And there is a very interesting phenomenon taking place in Georgia. (If you aren’t familiar with Georgia geography and politics, this will probably not be interesting, but read on if you care…) If you look at this map, you’ll notice …
