Awful, yet wonderful. What’s the over/under on how long before this chickenhead ends up in a women’s correctional facility. We say about 3 months. You must watch this.

The Fort Mill Times Reports that Georgia’s football team, with a score of 965, has the highest APR in the SEC.  We realize that the SEC haters will equate this to winning a gold medal in the Special Olympics, but hell, our football team had a higher score than Tech’s.  Further, Georgia’s Men’s and Women’s basketball teams both finished in the top 3 of the SEC.

Congrats to the athletes and AD Damon Evans on the great work.  This is the type of publicity Georgia needs.  It is especially great when it comes at the same time as this little gem.

[Do you think Rachel Ray might know how to balance a budget?]

1. The AJC has a report on a poll saying that metro voters would pay higher sales tax for more public transport.  We have a better idea, how about apportioning some of the already existing state transportation budget to methods of transportation other than roads.
2. Creative Loafing has details on the impending city budget cuts and tax hike.  Shirley Franklin - at midnight she turns back into Bill  Campbell.
3. Bloglanta talks Castleberry Hill.
4. How can you tell Forsyth is the new Gwinnett County?  They are getting an AMC Movie Theatre.  Colonial 18 4-eva yiggity yo.

The overall cost of Peachtree coverage, not counting setup, is close to $20,000, Grady officials said. Grady does not bill the Atlanta Track Club, which furnishes some equipment to the bike teams. “It’s the hospital giving back to the community,” Davenport said.

Wow, whatever will the Road Race do?  We are guessing they will hire a private company to work the event.  Some quick arithmetic indicates that $20,000 is barely more than one percent of the amount of money brought in by entries alone.  Add sponsorship dollars and we are guessing this sum equates to less than one-half of one percent.

[Taking bids now!]

This is not a clever ploy.  Outside the city (and often within) Grady is seen as a money hemorrhaging, medicare/medicaid abusing, hospital for the poor.  The Peachtree Road Race is one of the hospitals best opportunities to show exurbanites all the good it does.  Remember, it is much easier to hate things you aren’t familiar with.

Georgia State University Faculty, Staff and Students:

Are you ready to tailgate??!!   If you are, then plan to be at the Student Center Atrium tomorrow (Thursday) at 2 p.m. for the announcement regarding the future of football at Georgia State.

You don’t want to miss this one!!

Don’t know what the “You don’t want to miss this one!!” language means.  Surprises possible???

This team will provide more opportunities to play near home for many talented Georgia high school athletes.  Believe us, there are hordes of them.

Georgia State, soon to become our own little USF.
