Couple of things

- Programs like this one are the types of positive things which go on all the time in Clarke County schools, but get lost in the shuffle of test scores and calls for reform. Clarke Central, for instance, has one of the state's top vocational programs for its students that offers training in computers, finance and other trades.

- Doug McKillip has launched a blog where he'll keep tabs on legislation as it moves through the Georgia General Assembly. That's a good idea. It's been successful for other state politicians, and I know that Sen. Eric Johnson is a regular contributer at Peach Pundit.

- Speaking of Peach Pundit, they've got a short blurb saying Bill Shipp wants Jane Kidd to replace Bobby Kahn. Naturally, being a supporter of Kidd, I think this is a god idea ... though I don't remember the column actually saying that. I'm not high on the concept of Mike Berlon replacing Kahn, that's for sure.

- Doug Lowry and Kelly Girtz met with some folks from Quality Deer Management Association, and the former is plugging a public meeting hosted by the Department of Natural Resources. I'm still not sold we need a complete ban on rifles, though I'm not sure Lowry is either. What we seem to be the best would be whatever the folks from QDMA and DNR think, since this is sorta in their wheelhouse.

- Busta! Put your hands where my eyes can see!

- David Bill's blog has a link to the Saddam Hussein execution video, and he's asking whether or not folks would watch it. I said no because, well, I don't want to watch someone being hung.

- Who knew that Thomas Jefferson owned a Koran? Anyway, I have commented on any of the fiasco involving Virgil Goode's completely idiotic statements regarding the election of a Muslim to Congress. When you reveal such blatant bigotry, there's little need to actually criticize it because you've pretty much done a good job of looking like a fool on your own.

Mm-hmmm. Pretty much says it all!
