Couple of things

- So, Athens-Clarke County has now been cut in two all in the name if 'unifying' Madison County. But, what's this you say? Madison County never asked to be unified? This was possibly the partisan brainchild of one Republican state senator? Shocking ...

You know Sen. Hudgens, if you really wanted to just go ahead and divide Athens-Clarke County, then at least make that argument. Don't go around simply lying about how Madison County asked you to do that.

Let's see ... what else do you want to monkey with in our community? Would you like some property tax revenue too? How about I do a little soft-shoe for ya?

- Speaking of all things Madison County, apparently Prudey McPrude didn't care for the Vanity Fair picture.

- In other news, former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards will be the keynote speaker at a conference for the University of Georgia law school on April 7. Pretty friggin' cool. Hat tip to my boy Tim Kelly for that nugget.

- Regarding alcohol consumption by Georgia football fans, D. Terry Forshee goes to a completely different Athens, Georgia than I do on gamedays.

- I've always enjoyed this particular quote, but it's kinda weird to see it on a BBQ apron.

- South Gwinnett can't find a Seattle off-weekend to retire David Greene's jersey? A high school baseball game? What, the cross country meet wasn't good enough?

- Whew. Manny reports to spring training. Also, Nick Carfado should be forcibly removed from the Boston Globe staff for using the words 'Roger Clemens' and 'best pitcher of all time' in the lede of his story.
