Couple of things

- Not that I'm a guy who's well-versed in this kind of stuff, nor do I think that farmers didn't suffer over the past six months, but what in the world constitutes a drought these days? I remember getting a lot of rain for, well, the past year or so. It seems to me that we're setting a high bar here. Then again, I really have no idea about this kind of thing.

- Going from worse to worse with regard to health care?

- I'm glad to see the Georgia General Assembly focusing on serious issues. Seriously, people, this is what you're debating these days? Not the state's economic woes or health care issues (see above) or mumbo-jumbo education policy ... but whether or not we should recognize Jane Fonda as part of Women's History Month?

OK ... memo to Democrats ... are you just asking to lose the 2006 elections?

OK ... memo to Republicans ... who gives a flying flip? It's Jane friggin' Fonda. Yeah, it wasn't the brightest thing in the world to head off to North Vietnam back in the day, but when you have Sen. John Douglass (R-Social Circle) say 'I'm not a Vietnam veteran, but I think soldiers died because of her actions,' you look like a fool. First off, how in the world did Fonda's silly trip kill any American soldier? Second, you're not a Vietnam veteran, but you claim to know what happened on the ground there? Buddy ... take a breath.

- Robert Morris College is headed for a probation faster than a train driving off a cliff. Tony Cole? Seriously? Can this kid just not, you know, go away?

Surely you can have enough knowledge of how a war was faught, what sorts of things would have affected casualties or hindered victories, etc., without actually fighting in the war?

But I agree that it is hard to see how Fonda's foolishness could have led to any actual American soldiers dying.

Well, sure, but it's a silly disclaimer to tack on to the beginning of your statement that's bound to raise some eyebrows. That's all ...
