Couple of things

- Folks, this thing has run-off written all over it. Nine people are running? And we haven't even gotten answers from Doc Elderidge, Willie Green and the potential additional Democratic candidate to Terry Holley. Plus, some of these folks are mighty conservative. Don't get me wrong, the 10th Congressional District is a solidly Republican district for now, but I mean some of these fellas tow the line something fierce.

- One of the most influential minds in modern day liberal thought has died as Arthur Schlesinger passed away last night. Schlesinger composed the two most definitive biographies of both John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy out there, and was a policy advisor and speechwriter for both Kennedys and Lyndon Johnson.

- Here's why the Rev. Aaron McCullough's argument is absurd and borderline irresponsible ... because he focuses on Sunday. If he honestly feels so strongly about safety regarding Sunday Sales, then it's only logical that he would oppose any sales of alcohol on any day of the week. And what's infuriating is that so many in the Georgia General Assembly are actually accepting this shallow arguments (particularly someone like Regina Thomas who has the audacity to question the faith of anyone who supports that radical concept of letting local communities determine what they can and can't do).

- I probably don't have the necessary experience or appropriate skill set they're looking for, but I'll be the president of the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce for a mere $60,000.

Wow, JMac, you point out a lot of flawed policy arguments, but I do believe that Rev. McCullogh's takes the cake. What does he win?

I'm someone who calls himself a Christian and I would gladly push the bill if given the opportunity!
