Apparently the clutching of pearls has been added as a Festivus holiday activity. The Wall Street Journal published a story last night noting that Congressman Tom Price, now President Elect Trump’s pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services, owned and/or traded $300,000 of stock in medical related companies. The AJC has dutifully followed up
It’s no surprise that Georgia is growing. Businesses are moving here, jobs are being created, and new neighborhoods are popping up around the Atlanta metro area. The Chattanooga Times-Free Press has an article that outlays the growth in our state and compares to others and the nation. Georgia’s has grown by 6.4%, meaning an additional
To quote Frank Costanza: “I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you’re going to hear about it!” You’re on your own about the Festivus Pole. Hopefully, 2017 will have fewer polls. I think it was Mike Hassinger who said ‘polls are for strippers and cross-country skiers.’ In honor of today’s special holiday,

The Fulton County Attorney, Patrise Perkins-Hooker had decided Fulton County was getting too many email requests that she deemed frivolous, and decided she wanted a change in Georgia’s laws to limit the number of requests one person could request.

Georgia has dethroned Texas. First when Georgia created a more business friendly environment and now in the number of executions. America saw 20 executions in 2016, nine of which came from Georgia. That’s nearly half of the executions nationwide. It’s the most inmates Georgia has put to death in the 40 years since the Supreme
I haven’t heard enough good Christmas music. Basically anything not released in the last 20 years. (Seriously, there hasn’t been a single good update of a classic). “Mistletoe and Holly” by Old Blue Eyes. ICYMI: Georgia’s Electoral College electors voted for Trump. Georgia leads the nation in executions! Whooo-diggity! Larry Colburn, Helped Stop My Lai
Former Secretary of State Karen Handel wrote a Facebook post this morning thanking people for their encouraging message as she considers running for Representative Tom Price’s soon-to-be vacated seat. She ended her post with, “Watch for a formal announcement early in the new year.” Here is her full post: Steve and I want to thank
Just in time for New Year’s, or perhaps for overly festive Christmas dinners, it’s OK again to blow up fireworks as part of your holiday festivities. On November 14th, the Governor issued an executive order banning the use of fireworks due to excessive drought in much of Georgia. Since then, rains have finally begun to
As the runoff heats up between Republican Chuck Payne and independent (but who will probably caucus with Democrats if elected) Debby Peppers, Chuck has picked up some big name endorsements to add to the bill in addition to former Congressman Jack Kingston and 9th District Congressman Doug Collins. Chuck has recently picked up an endorsement
