Couple of things
- The alcohol ordinance continues to be tinkered with (perhaps), and I say kudos to Kelly Girtz for asking if we really needed the background checks for doormen. I was content in letting in slide by if that was a part of the compromise between the bar owners and the commission, but I don't think it will ultimately do anything to deter underage drinking and will tack on an additional cost to the owners. Why on the former? A background police check has the potential to reveal a couple of bad apples, but most owners of businesses, believe it or not, aren't going to typically hire bad apples for a variety of reasons. Furthermore, a large bulk of underage drinking downtown occurs from either the usage of a fake ID or from somone simply knowing the doorman, who in turn lets his friends in.
- In response to Jay Glazer, might I recommend Too Dumb For New York City by Waylon Jennings?
- I can think of plenty of words I can use to describe the drought ... 'exceptional' ain't one of them
- Forget the morality arguments that pop up whenever you discuss sex education or birth-control, doesn't this appear to be an unnecessary attempt at price-fixing? If companies wish to distribute these 'clinic packs' to college health clinics, then why shouldn't they be able to?
- Related to that, Shannon Little, the student interviewed for the article, said her health insurance didn't cover prescription medicine. What's the point of health insurance then?
- Listen, I'm still high on John Edwards. Really. But is quibbling over who first said they wanted to bring 'change' to Washington really how you want to go about this? I'm just stunned he didn't trot his wife out to say it.
- OK Adrian Carver, first off no one listens to Texas anyway. Second, what the heck are you talking about? Isn't this common sense? That a third-string quarterback who has no playing experience who suffers a severe injury faces a difficult road back to a career? And why wouldn't this be news worthy for Athens-Clarke County as D.J. Shockley was one of the most popular players to ever suit up for the University of Georgia?
