When thinking about presidential politics, I keep hearing Georgian Ozzie Davis line from Georgia-educated Spike Lee’s movie “Always do the right thing.” Well, “the Mayor” clearly was too fond of Albany, Georgia-produced Miller High Life beer but that simply statement speaks volumes. The Georgia primary is tomorrow and I have been thinking hard about what [...]

That S__ Crazy: Huntsman, Gingrich, Bishop, Romney

Kanye West saying ”That S__ Crazy” on that song with Jay Z is one cool rap lyric. But, the line should apply to some political matters as well. Jon Huntsman: The GOP had an opportunity to select this decent conservative as their nominee but he left the race while polling in the single digits. Huntsman could have easily [...]

In the film classic Purple Rain, Morris Day’s character laughed at Prince’s father attempted suicide. Day’s band The Time (the best band ever) walked pass Prince’s dressing room singing, “let’s go crazy…let’s get nuts.” Of course, the Prince song “Let’s Go Crazy” starts with the line “when you call up that Shrink in Beverly Hills—Dr. [...]

In my community, we say, “If you don’t know, you better raise your hand and ask someone.” With that sage wisdom (is that a redundant term) in mind, I ask these questions about Georgia politics. 1. Is the GOP counting on young voters and Black voters not returning to the polls this year? 2. Why [...]
USDA: Children are expensive

The USDA recently released new estimates on the cost of raising a child born last year and the numbers shocked me. For a middle-income family, $221, 000 would be needed to get that child to 17 years old. While the costs are lower in the South, low and no income people must gasp the financial [...]

Augusta Area Morning Show host Renee deMedicis posted an interesting article about political machines and I decided to reply. http://wnrr.wordpress.com/2009/02/24/morning-show-renee-political-machine/ Renee: Your article on political machines provided valuable insight into the “smoke filled rooms” of American politics—it’s a dirty game. Is the tail wagging the dog because people who make a living [...]

The Florida Gators won the national college football championship—again. Go Gainesville Gators, Go. That Tim Tebow is one outstanding young man; his parents did a fine job raising him but some of that is genetics – which they provided also. Congrats to Myron Rolle from the FSU Football Team on his Rhodes Scholarship; putting Cecil’s [...]
