As is custom, Roy Roberts welcomed GOP activists from across the state to his farm last evening for a little bit of BBQ and a lot of politics. (Good BBQ, excellent Brunswick stew – with no added green stuff, the way God intended it.) The Walton County annual event draws Republicans from well outside the
“You Haven’t Done Nothin'” by Stevie Wonder Haven’t had enough Ossoff/Handel in your life? Get your fix on June 6. North American Properties exec: ATL’s Future Depends on MARTA Jimmy Carter memoir tops Bill Gates’ summer reading list. Yale confers Doctor of Laws on John Lewis.

Casey Cagle can breathe a sigh of relief (probably). In remarks delivered on Monday at a meeting of the House Rural Development Council in Tifton, House Speaker David Ralston indicated he is not running for governor in 2018. Toward the end of his nine-minute remarks highlighting the necessity of meeting the needs of rural Georgia, Ralston

Good morning! Here is the latest on last night’s bombing at Manchester Arena. The Gwinnett Braves want a new name. Basey McBaseface? The Button-Gs? Whatever they pick, please, for the love of all that is holy, hope that we learn from what happened in New Orleans, where they replaced the perfectly good Zephyrs with (trigger warning: horrifying man-baby) this.

This week’s Courier Herald column. You may find the previous parts of this series by following this link. For the past few weeks we’ve been taking a look at the regions that make up the political and economic coalitions that influence the politics and policy governing Georgia.

Last week I included an article about how Game of Thrones ruined the possibility of a truly great King Arthur movie. After watching the movie yesterday, I can affirm that the movie sucks on its own accord. I hope this is the only time I link to the Church of Satan. For clarification, this is
