Guns OK At Hartsfield

December 10th, 2010 · Comments Off

Flying Shiznit! Lookie what I found: The mayor doesn’t like it, but the city is no longer stopping people with legal weapon permits from carrying their weapons into Hartsfield-Jackson airport. “The fact of the matter is, we’re complying with state law, so it’s not something where we had a choice,” said Mayor Kasim Reed. Absolutely [...]

Georgia Governor

August 12th, 2010 · 4 Comments

The Primaries are finally settled, so it’s Roy Barnes versus Nathan Deal this November for Governor of Georgia. I’m not a big fan of Deal, but I have absolutely no love for Barnes. So to keep Barnes out of office I have to vote for Deal. Lesser of two evils. Hopefully Deal will show me [...]

On Georgia’s Primary Election

July 21st, 2010 · Comments Off

Roy Barnes is an Obama wannabe. He is beholden to the teacher’s unions and the “disenfranchised minorities” inside Georgia‘s urban areas (his “big ticket” legacy was getting rid of Georgia’s former “evil” state flag). He is Georgia’s version of Bill Clinton. I’m scared Barnes will side with the Washington Progressives over Georgia. A vote for [...]
