People get and give insults in the South all day every day. If you have thin skin, you should move. These insults come to mind. The Michael Basiden Show’s list “8 Reasons Black Women Should Date White Men: First, Black Women should date whoever makes them happy and treats them well. But, the list from Basiden’s [...]

Starbucks CEO: No Campaign Dollars
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, Georgia, jobs on September 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is on a mission to fix Washington and he is starting with campaign donations. Schultz, who spends more on employee health benefits than coffee, is challenging his fellow CEOs to put money that normally goes to campaigns into job creation. On this blog, we have been saying that for years. In Georgia, [...]
Worst Congress Ever?
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, Conservatives, democrats, Fox News, moderates, msnbc, republicans on July 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
On Chuck Todd’s MSNBC show recently, he had a segment asking the question “Is this the worst congress of all-time.” While I am not sure about all-time, it might be the worst of my adult life for the reasons discussed by former Senator John Breaux and Political Scientist Norm Ornstein. [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/43880181#43880181] Congress and the White House [...]
Political Opponents: Stack the Deck or What the Heck
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, Congress, Conservatives, Georgia, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Obama, saxby on May 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I am a good American who wants the best people governing. While I support candidates I find competent of any party, a quagmire results from deciding if I should hope for an opponent who is easier for my guy to beat or hope for a quality person who would serve well if elected. Obama is [...]
Georgia Congressional Redistricting: Get Involved
Posted in politics, tagged Blacks, Congress, Georgia, redistricting, sanford bishop on May 4, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Every southerner should be mapmaking during the redistricting process because our representation for the next ten years is on the table. We shouldn’t leave it to the state legislators alone because they work for us. There should be a smart phone app for redistricting. Because I am watching The Borgias on Showtime, ice-cold Niccolo Machiavelli, [...]
Obama, McNaughton’s The Forgotten Man and the Georgia Congressional Delegation

There is a controversial painting of all American presidents that includes President Obama standing on the U.S. Constitution. The guy was president of the Harvard Law Review and a University of Chicago constitutional law professor but he doesn’t respect the Constitution. Really? I saw the painting hanging in the district office of U.S. Rep. [...]

Project Logic GA is starting a year long, monthly effort design to broaden our discussion of major issues, cultivate the next group of policy leaders and create a web-based/actual meetup network of results-oriented voters. We believe, the major political parties, the media and special interest groups often execute their agenda while the people seem like pawns [...]
President Obama and Fear Factor
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, moderates, Obama on March 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Cokie and Steve Roberts wrote a must-read column recently about President Obama events in Florida with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. The Roberts pointed out that the president knows that moderates are vital to his success and that he feels that he leads a nation and not just a political party. The following congressional stats [...]
Tragic Events in Arizona
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, Giffords, politics, shooting on January 10, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Our prayers are with those affected by the tragic events in Arizona. Project Logic GA has always supported a sensible political and policy debate and fostering a bridge over the divide-that’s why there is a bridge on the homepage. Normal people can have a spirited and at times mischievous debate but we know that sick [...]
The Book of Eli, New Job, Fresh Start
Posted in politics, tagged Bible, Congress, democrats, Denzel, faith, Obama, republicans on January 3, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I watched Denzel Washington’s movie The Book of Eli in the wee hours of New Year’s Day. Washington’s character was protecting the last known King James Bible in a post nuclear war world. We forget how important and useful the Bible’s messages and lessons are when (to be frank) we are busying sinning. Yesterday at [...]
Political Cafeteria Plan: Pick and Choose
Posted in politics, tagged blue dogs, Congress, Obama, palin, tea party on November 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
At the end of this rough election cycle, we realize that the 2012 cycle starts before the freshmen members of congress can be sworn into office; it’s a never-ending process. Some blogger friends are assessing the amount of “free time” spent online and hearing the advice of friends and grumbling family about doing for free [...]
Blacks and the 72% Unwed Mothers Rate
Posted in politics, tagged African Americans, Blacks, Congress, Obama on November 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
It’s the article that I first saw in the Albany Herald that everyone is reading and discussing. Frankly, addressing this subject should be priority one for the CBC. Much governmental money is spent dealing with drama that is rooted in this article. As the Chuck D said, “When there is a man in the house, the [...]
President Obama, The Tea Party and Civil Wars
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Bush, Congress, Conservatives, democrats, moderates, Obama, sanford bishop, tea party on November 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
It’s 5:15 a.m. on Day Lights Saving Time Sunday morning and my clock just fell back. In American politics, it feels like we are falling back in time also. Are we near a cultural Civil war and isn’t “civil” war the ultimate oxymoron. The one thing that is sure is that we need to have [...]
Albany Herald Wrong About Rep. Sanford Bishop
Posted in politics, tagged austin scott, Congress, Conservatives, democrats, Georgia, Isakson, moderates, sanford bishop, tea party on November 1, 2010 | 14 Comments »
The Albany Herald endorsed Mike Keown for congress in Georgia’s second district over Sanford Bishop. I think that newspaper is wrong because Bishop is uniquely qualified and appropriate to represent the urban/rural; liberal/conservative and yes Black/White hodgepodge that is the 2nd District. Keown is a conservative pastor from a very rural area and speaks with [...]
Rep. Sanford Bishop: Golden Egg
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, democrats, Georgia, Obama, politics, republicans, sanford bishop, troops on October 22, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The Georgia 2nd congressional district race comes down to one simple point for me: Rep. Sanford Bishop is the goose that laid the golden egg. We, the 2nd district voters, have positioned him to serve our state and that posturing took time and effort. Tossing our employee now wouldn’t be smart. An Albany, Georgia, city councilman [...]
Libertarian Party Candidate John Monds and Get Out the Vote
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, democrats, Georgia, Isakson, marijuana, republicans, sanford bishop, tea party, voting on October 19, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Could it be true: are some people too dim to vote. I just noticed a comment on a post about John Monds, candidate for governor in Georgia from the Libertarian Party. The comment said “he short as hell” and I did not know if the writer was referring to my picture with Monds or with Rep. Sanford Bishop. [...]
Rep. Jim Marshall slams Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Posted in politics, tagged blue dogs, Congress, democrats, Jim Marshall, Obama, Pelosi, republicans on October 13, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I am moderate Democrat and understand that Blue Dogs are moderate to conservative on some level. However, the latest campaign ad from Rep. Jim Marshall might have crossed the line. The ad slams Speaker Pelosi more than she could possible deserve. The same Mrs. Pelosi who engineer the Democrat takeover of the House and helped [...]
Obama Supporters: Watch Fox News then Vote
Posted in politics, tagged Congress, democrats, Fox News, Michelle Obama, Obama, tea party on October 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »
What in the world could get Obama supporters voting this election season? Watching Fox Cable News for one hour. That’s it; I have done it again and gratis I unfortunately add. The word unbeknownst comes up in conversational English rarely but many southerners work with people who “unbeknownst” to their neighbors are being brainwashed by [...]
Carter, Reagan, Obama and President Palin

I feel like Chicken Little but would perfect a little chicken—smoked with some John Boy and Billy barbeque sauce. It’s hard for a brother to publicly admit a love for yardbird but it is time to tell the truth. After watching a zillion campaign ads a month before the election, I wish those fellows would spend 5% [...]
Vote or We are Toast

Grown folks knew what is happening was going to happen when we elected President Obama. They said that the same people who cheered and jumped up and down would be the same people who did vote in the midterm elections. I can see it in the First Lady’s face; a face that looks like mine. She [...]
