Couple of things
- All but saying he'd wish Sanford Stadium would be blown up, Rep. Barry Fleming, also a candidate for the 10th Congressional District seat currently held by Athens Republican Paul Broun, says he doesn't see the Medical College of Georgia expanding in Athens-Clarke County before it does in Augusta. He's not alone as a host of Republican legislators in the Georgia General Assembly are now criticizing the expansion in our neck of the woods, opting to instead spread out in my hometown (despite the fact that, you know, there isn't any room to grow down there). As a result, the University of Georgia would probably lose part of its space at the Navy Supply School.
- Can I just point out that, even though it's early, the more resistance I see from legislators like Fleming or Ben Harbin, the more I think it's unlikely the expansion will be approved for Athens-Clarke County. Which, of course, is ridiculous.
- Woo-hoo! Kudos former place of employment. And all done through private funds thank you very much.
- Some clarification on water usage.
- An update on The Safe As Houses Water Challenge.
- Granted I think it's kind of an extreme rule, but breaking a rule is breaking a rule nonetheless. The sheer inability of Georgia's men's basketball players to not get in trouble for the dumbest, most obvious things is completely staggering to me.
- Huh. I had no idea illegal attendance was so rampant in Oconee County's schools.
- They vote on this just a week or so later, and Josh Beckett wins in a landslide. They had similar statistics during the regular season, but Beckett's performance in the postseason almost makes this award comical.

Talk about comical - the weapons policy is preposterous. By its own terms, every tailgater on UGA's campus that brings a cake knife on gamedays to slice their tailgating treats and every practical joker that puts a spitball in a rubber band and shoots it at your forehead shall be guilty of a felony. If this policy was followed to the letter 1/2 of the campus would be locked up on any given day and 3/4 of the visitors on gamedays would now have felonies on their record.
And as an aside - of course Beckett would have won if the Cy Young was a regular and postseason award - but its only a regular season award and as such, CC deserved it. Now if the Indians could have done it all over again -I'm sure Sabathia wouldn't have hurled 240+ innings and would have saved some of that gas for the ALCS.

One of the surest signs of tyranny, and this is the only time in my life I have ever cited Ayn Rand favorably, is an incomprehensible matrix of laws and regulations which make everyone of us de facto criminals. If they ever need to turn the screws on you, they'll be able to find something because the laws of the country (and state) are simply so immense and they cover such counter-intuitive things and many of them are practically unknown that everyone of us is likely in violation of something. So if we speak up too much they can always find an excuse to silence us, after all we "broke a law and the law is the law."
Just sayin'....
Yeah, that's a crying shame about Beckett. When will those poor Red Sox and their beleaguered fans ever catch a well-deserved break?
It's a regular season award. Sabathia did a little more with a little less; hence, he wins.
BTW, Fleming is saying different things in the paper than he did on the radio this morning. Or maybe he's saying the same things differently...
I'll be waiting to see the DA's office decline to prosecute as they did with the guy caught with the slingshot on campus.
