Still drilling home Hillary
I know, totally unnecessary title; at least I threw “home” in there.
I meant to put this up a couple days ago, but that whole breaking in the chickensuit thing got in the way. I watched CNN’s special re-presentation of last week’s debates on Sunday, during which Wolf Blitzer constantly patted his network on […]

Where’s Whitehead?
I might as well write a post about it for the record, since Jim Galloway didn’t seem to believe me:
Yes, that was me.
No, I am not affiliated with any campaign. I can’t even vote in the Georgia tenth.
I wish I got paid to sweat like a “former Bulldog offensive lineman” (yeah, right), […]

After the moon landing, it was all downhill
European nations worry about American foreign policy as a harbinger of the downfall of an empire. Radical Islamists point to our half-nekkid women on TV and rampant capitalism as evidence of inevitable decay and self-destruction.

Don’t save the DPG with YASP
After what many people would probably agree could be called The Dark Years, the Democratic Party of Georgia elected a new Chair and recently appointed a well-received new Executive Director, Matt Weyandt.

Totally beating Obama by 12 years
Well damnit. The Georgia Institute of Technology has finally implemented some actual technology. Implemented it right in my keister, they did.

Don’t Let Me Live Here dot com
Update Friday morning: Podcast & details from the townhall coming this weekend.

Anti-war, pro-troop
If you missed the debate tonight, here’s Senator Biden explaining what the particularly strident anti-war left can’t seem to wrap their brains around about his vote on the war funding supplemental while they embrace Clinton & Obama for going back on their words and voting against funding for the troops. Integrity and a consistently […]
