Couple of things
- It's a shame they're having to close up their office, but Carole Middlebrooks's comment that it was 'a waste of taxpayer money' seems odd. If it's an organization you believe in - one so much so that you're now going to run it out of your home for free - then how is it a waste of money? Of course, for that matter, how can you not turn something in on time?
- This forum is about something which hasn't gotten much coverage, but is worth mentioning ... and it's that the Bush Administration has gone on record requesting that the federal judiciary defer to them on any matter connected with national security (i.e. cases involving Guantanamo Bay or domestic wiretapping).
- There's a new political blog in Georgia as Georgia Politics just launched. It seems that anyone can post over there if they so desire.
- Ah ... the 'I hate Jimmy Carter' letters have started rolling in, including a terribly ineffective one by Bob Marable (you're shocked?) who claims Carter is a 'wimp.' Why? Well, according to Marable ... he just is!
- I'd support this trade. Two All-Pro receivers and the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft? For Michael Vick? That's a steal.
- The problem with this isn't the fact that you want to crack down on fraud in absentee voting, but rather that you want to put people in jail for three to five years for it.
- The Red and Black looks at a guy who almost abolished the Student Government Association and mentions that, again, it may be abolished in this year's upcoming election. I'd like some clarity here ... what exactly does SGA do? I didn't understand during my time there, and I still don't today. It appears that the University of Georgia administration, understandably, still holds final say on most issues. If it's nothing more than a big ole training exercise for future politicians, that's great ... so is it?
- In case you were wondering, CNN is reporting that Barack Obama was, indeed, not trained in terrorist camps as a child.
