The day all homeowners dread may have arrived. To face the looming budget shortfall, Gov. Perdue cut back education funds yet again by 2%. The rebuttal being offered is that this 2% was above last years budget anyhow, therefore education will actually be the same as the year before. Now [...]
The blackjack betting system is commonly known as 1- 3 – 2 -6 blackjack betting system and these 1, 3, 2, 6 numbers are the units of the game. This system is based on the pattern of 1 unit, then 3 units then 2 units then 6 units. The [...]
According to recent studies coffee is beneficial for our teeth. Coffee which is made from roasted beans has antibacterial activity. Coffee is active against Streptococcus Mutans, the organism causing dental caries. The roasted coffee is also having anti adhesive properties. In this way it prevents adhesion of S.mutans and [...]
There are many luxury watch manufacturers that offer hundreds of high quality models. With that being said, Rolex has been the industry leader for quite some time. Not only is Rolex a popular brand in the United States, but it encompasses many other parts of the globe as well. [...]
If you are interested in starting a digital printing there are several steps that you must take. This is not the type of business that you start on a whim, and hope that you become a success overnight. With that being said, anybody can start a digital printing if this [...]
Tomorrow's Los Angeles Times (Monday, September 10 edition) has an interesting article on the brain differences between conservatives and liberals (not Drew Westen's study). Apparently, liberals are better at punching the correct button on a computer keyboard based on changing screen cues because they are better able to process new [...]
Mike Jacobs has been on the outs with Democrats almost since he got elected and starting opening his mouth and pointing his voting finger. He hasn't had the support of the "status quo" of the party for some time...the Bobby Kahns and Dubose Porters of the world...and for a long [...]
From Bruce Bartlett, the conservative columnist who is encouraging some Republicans to hold their nose and pick the Democrat who is least obnoxious to them in next year's Presidential elections:
[...]The price of purity is political powerlessness.
Through most of a 2007 legislative session that was disastrous for the Georgia Republican Party, freshman Lt. Governor Casey Cagle came out looking better than anyone. He was repeatedly covered by the press as a statesman focused on bi-partisanship, and an elected official who would bridge the deepening divide between [...]
I want to start out my first diary by saying that Nikema Williams and her family are in my prayers and thoughts. Finding out that a loved one has cancer is certainly not my definition of fun.
Now, to clear the air a little bit, people posted both here and at [...]
When the Democratic world in Georgia talks about the end of the Shirley Franklin era (and for some, being "Not Bill Campbell" is no longer enough) they often become bogged down in a Kasim Reed/Vincent Fort/Lisa Borders pro and con debate. And who can blame them, in a city [...]
Reading the Luckovich blog today on AJC, and I came across a very interesting comment.
---------------------
AL-QAEDA leaders in Iraq are planning the first “large-scale” terrorist attacks on Britain and other western targets with the help of supporters in Iran, according to a leaked intelligence report.
Let’s hear a realistic [...]
Looks like a new post has been created.

[...]I wondered why Rep. Clay Cox introduced a bill that would return Georgia to elected superintendents. Electing your superintendent just seems like one of those ridiculous Southern "all politics is local/all local organizations are poorly run" relics of post-Civil War racial politics. I can't be sure about that, but I [...]
Allegedly, Georgia School Systems are supposed to be reducing class sizes. In reality, they have a hard time doing that because the legislature is always cutting their funds. Yesterday's AJC article about Cagle's Charter School Bill includes an interesting provision: the state will give school systems $125,000 to kick [...]
As I commented below in Publius's post, Larry O'Neal's plan to run for Congress against Jim Marshall (with the full backing of Perdue) is dead, thanks to the scandals plauging him as a result of his tax cut for the Governor and the shady shell companies he created to hide [...]
Reading this Wall Street Journal diary on teardowns I was surprised by how just about everyone interviewed and profiled in the story had to have a "Mud Room" in their house. I guess I haven't bought enough million dollar homes in my day, I had no idea what [...]
Congressmen Jim Marshall of the 8th District and John Barrow of the 12th District ran great campaigns, holding on to seats redrawn to defeat them by the Republican General Assembly. Both faced former Members of Congress who had recently represented large portions of their districts, and who were supported by [...]
One of the most destructive elements of the Republican Party, although a conservative Republican may disagree with me and take the opposite position, is the Club for Growth. They are constantly challenging "moderate" Republicans who disagree with some key issue that the Club holds. When they don't defeat their moderate [...]
...Ladies & Gentlemen, we had a very spirited and informative debate over what direction the Democratic Party of Georgia should take towards a bigger and brighter future for Democrats throughout our state.
We had five great candidates who were all willing to share their vision for the Georgia Democratic Party, not [...]
First off, congratulations are in order for Chairwoman Kidd. Hats off to her and to everyone else who ran.
I can't say I'm surprised at the ultimate outcome, though. Berlon was considered the frontrunner in this race from the get-go, but this was more a testament to his hard work on [...]
Congrats to Jane Kidd for becoming the new Chairwoman of the Georgia Democratic Party! It was a great process and a very lively crowd.
I know Jane will do wonderfully and lead us to better times in Georgia. Thanks to everyone for supporting the Party and let's get to work!

[...]I voted for Darryl Hicks in the SOS runoff, and would have been interested to learn more about his ideas for the Democratic Party, even though I also imagine his hands are full with being the Chief of Staff to the first Democrat (and hopefully, competent) Fulton County Commission Chair [...]
