Couple of things
- Ah Lynn Westmoreland ... doing his part to make sure Georgia's elected officials focus on the trivial rather than the substantive. Not only are his facts wrong (as Republicans pushed forward the piece of ethics rules he cites), but it's also pretty clear that the former Vice President of the United States doesn't fall into this category. If Westmoreland (falsely) raises concern over this, then it would only be logical that he'd call for any business leader which participates in the global economy to be barred from speaking on the House floor. Or that Rudy Guiliani's work in Mexico City would prevent him from speaking about homeland security. Or that L. Paul Bremer can't come talk about Iraq. Or that mission workers working overseas can't come speak about what they've experienced.
- I don't know a whole heck of a lot about this, but it would appear that the new fire safety marshall is merely doing his job by applying state and local fire codes in a consistent manner. It's unfortunate the capacities have been reduced, but it also seems those restaurants couldn't accommodate those folks anyway. I mean ... 78 people in Amici's? Were they sitting on the blades of the ceiling fans?
- I'd be really interested in seeing what would happen if the Local Redevelopment Authority actually decided to split the Naval School property in two, though I don't think that will happen. I'm also happen to see University of Georgia President Michael Adams recognize the university has a role in fighting poverty in this town. Two suggestions ... keep moving your wages upward and work to offer some free or inexpensive job training classes to those in need.
- Godspeed to the Edwards family. As someone who is all too familiar with seeing loved ones deal with a terrible illness like cancer, my thoughts and prayers go out to them.
- Minnesota? Really? Kentucky-to-Minnesota? I knew Tubby Smith was facing some intense pressure up there, but drop everything and go to Minnesota? Man, I'd gladly bump Dennis Felton aside and bring Tubby back here.
- Sweet merciful Mary ... we're gonna play this game Rick Spors? Who's more patriotic? Listen, Ed Tant baffles me more often than not, but it's ridiculous, childish and petty to get all caught up in the 'who loves America more' game?
- J. Paul Clark also wants to tell you the truth about Santa Claus and blow out all of the candles on your birthday cake.

Hey, JMac -- I suppose technically the fire marshall's in the right, but so is Amici -- that space can handle 78 people. and furthermore, since that's what they predicated their business model on, cutting that number in half does represent a serious economic hardship.
Also, the old fire marshall really seemed to enjoy inconveniencing restaurateurs by making expensive demands at inconvenient times, which probably doesn't make it easy on the new guy.
