There is no knowing the Evil Eyebrow
In case you don’t know, the Georgia Legislative Session is 40 days long. ((40 legislative days, not calendar or work days.)) Yesterday, Friday was Day 21. We’re halfway done. We’re also 2/3 of the way to Day 30, which is known as “crossover day”. Any piece of legislation that hasn’t been passed by the House, …

I heard about this sign on the news this morning. Posted without comment. Absolute ringing silence, in fact.
Georgia House Bill 166 is up for a vote on Wednesday. This bill would remove the “experience path” for Professional Engineers to achieve licensure.

Hot on the heels of the Penn State child abuse scandal comes Georgia Senate Bill 355. This bill makes it a mandatory legal requirement that anyone “…who has reasonable cause to believe that a child is abused shall report [the abuse]…” I went and pulled up Title 19, Chapter 7, Article 1 to see what …
It’s been since the 5th of this month since I didn’t post about politics. That’s way too long to go without a picture of one of my cats. And you’ve not been treated to all the things I did in the past month and a half. I haven’t blogged about the social artwork class Jenn …
