Couple of things
- The Governor is letting us ease up on water restrictions, though I don't anticipate any changes happening here. Not that I disagree with that either. One of the problems with our society is a short attention span, one which has been fueled by the media too (where have those 'Drought Updates' gone on places like WSB?), and this is a perfect example of that. A couple of weeks of average rainfall and a full reservoir in Athens-Clarke County and folks start clamoring to water their yard. Well, the rivers are still running low and the lakes are still substantially below level. We're still in a drought and, with a dry spring and summer in the forecast, conservation now becomes even more imperative.
- Not that it's going to do much good, but backers of Tommy Craft are going to protest his firing at the Clarke County Board of Education meeting tonight. From what I've heard over the past few months from a variety of sources is that Craft's dismissal was less connected to Sidney Anne Waters, but more connected to the resignation of coach Scott Wilkins.
- Apparently one way to keep our jail from being overcrowded is to simply let relatives fleeing from the law go free. Seriously, while it may not be illegal, it's definitely wrong. If Danny Thomas was wanted for theft by taking, but was not reporting to court to face the charges in Houston County, then why in the world should we believe he'll report to authorities now? Maybe he will, maybe he won't ... but, also, tying your political pet wishes to the release of your brother-in-law is a reach, isn't it?
- The cynic in me could say that some Georgia Republicans have always enjoyed longing for the past, but the realist points out that, well, the Athens Banner-Herald is right and this is dumb.
- Hillary Clinton loaned herself $5 million to keep fighting on, while Barack Obama raised more than $6 million from small donors since Feb. 5. People powered baby!
- At Peach Pundit, Spacey bashes the DPG for no real reason, particularly since a consultant who isn't affiliated with the DPG is quoted in this article. I don't disagree with her rationale - that Obama drove the folks to the polls - but I also think it's stupid to throw a potshot at the DPG.
- And, yes, after last night's loss, I stick to my 'Fire Felton' mantra.

I finally bailed from the Pundit after getting fed up with the thousand-word manifestos being cut-and-pasted into the comments section. Is that still going on?
Actually, I might duck back in if you tell me that they're having bleeding-eye-socket aneurysms over how well McCain is doing. They're so adorable when they eat their own.
