Spyglass: Mimi's, in the former Huddle House site..

I believe that is the new name. I was curious if anyone had eaten there. I was at the eye doctor next door the other day, and the restaurant looked crowded.

sageadvice: Health costs

I have all of the health insurance that I can buy and yet I have enough health bills to be able to have a deduction each year on my income taxes. That of course also includes the amounts I pay for insurance.

sageadvice: Florida & Michigan primaries

I don't understand those who are arguing that the democrats have no rules and that the republicans do!

Of course both have rules, but rules can be changed! I don't even know who might benefit from allowing those two states' delegates to vote at the convention, but if the creator of the rules wants to change the rules, it is no one else's business!

thebeaver: Liberty vs. Socialism

Another fine article by Walter Williams. When Hitlary-care becomes a reality, I want the food police at every all-you-can-eat buffet. I don't my tax dollars to pay for a bunch of irresponsible fat people's health problems.

Steve Brown: Police HQ: Losing almost $3 million not an opportunity

Steve Brown's picture

I know Scott Bradshaw did not write the headline for his piece in the newspaper (PTC Police HQ: Problem or opportunity?). But there is no opportunity for the taxpayers in being soaked for millions in land, construction and lease costs for a problem that should have never existed.

sageadvice: Closing Sunday for church

Chiken filet closes on Sunday, so they say, so employees can go to church. Wonder what percentage of them do? Maybe those that don't could open for breakfast and dinner, anyway?

sageadvice: The lakes

Does anyone know how much higher Lake Lanier is now? Has it got much more water in it than it did when we were predicting it would be empty in the spring, a few months ago?

Wow man ... like.... what happened to all the love dude? This fighting stuff is really killing my buzz!

Can't we all just get along?

TruthSleuth1958: Disenfranchised in Florida and Michigan ... again.

TruthSleuth1958's picture

Well it seems the Democrats are at it again. Just as they have in the past whether by denying absentee ballots or announcing winners prematurely (and incorrectly) in Florida.

gratefuldoc, "Hack", hutch et al. Cyclist thought it might be nice for us to have a coffee on Friday noon at the usual Starbucks.

Shelby Barker: Good Job Mike

Good job Mike Huckabee...for running a very honorable campaign, and sticking to the issues.

Good job Mike.... for standing up for what you believe in, even though things like the Fair Tax may not be "main stream".

sageadvice: Whether Obama or Clinton is nominated

I think most of us know that John McCain will probably win the Presidency! That assumes of course no divine intervention.

oldbeachbear: Is it time for a moritorium on Building in Fayette county?

I would love to hear peoples thought on this.

Troup county did it a year ago and had wonderful results.

I think we owe it to the taxpayers trying to sell their houses. At this point, any new construction is going to dilute prices even more.

JeffC: Calling Mixer in Ohio

Mixer, call up your Diebold friends and tell us who won Ohio tomorrow. Don't make us wait until tomorrow night for the "actual" results.

sageadvice: Oil closed over $103 a barrel today

and the Euro is worth $1.54.

Some say the dollar value (which was equal to the Euro when the Euro was founded) is currently being caused by the lowering of interest rates.

other_side_trax: Jeffc says we should grant Guantanamo Detainees POW status???

other_side_trax's picture

Jeffc - In an earlier post, you suggested the US give Guantanamo terrorists POW status so we could detain them for the duration of the war, and then release them.

sageadvice: Putin and Dan Quail

I noticed that President Putin of Russia---not the Soviet Union, has selected his Dan Quail to succeed him, a young forty-ish stooge who will be President while Putin becomes Prime Minister.

walker3: Vicious Dog

I need help finding a woman who walks the trails with a springer spaniel. Her dog and my dog have each been attacked and bitten by the same dog. She speaks with a South African accent. If you know who this woman is, please contact me at thebeeb76@yahoo.com.

sageadvice: Somalia

It appears that we did our semi-annual bombing of Somalia today.
I guess we have permission to do that.
It seems there were a few building there full of Bin Laden's people.

Don't Miss it. Especially you, Jeff!

Fair Tax Internet Seminar

Richard Hobbs: Yes We Can

Richard Hobbs's picture

If only we had a man of this vision, of this integrity, of this beacon of hope.

You won't hear a single candidate say what he said so eloquently. Freedom from Government. A Government of the People, not a People of the Government.

Richard Hobbs: Yes, We Can. . . lie to America!

Richard Hobbs's picture

Yes, We Can. . . lie to the American People.

Initially, they decried this as a lie, as never happening.
Now Obama's people are saying that they were not quoted accurately.

TJAM: Tyrone Council Mislead?

In the Saturday edition of The Citizen John Munford reports that Peachtree City has experienced an 8.5% decline in sales tax revenue so far this year; Ben Nelms reports that in Tyrone Chris Venice stated that the SPLOST (special purpose local option sales tax) revenue is only down 3%. How can one municipality experience almost a three-fold decrease in their share of the total sales tax revenue over the other when their respective shares of sales tax revenue is a fixed percentage of the same total revenue amount? It appears that someone is trying to paint a rosy financial picture to their council, wonder why? Or is it simply that they are not smarter than a fifth grader.

"If William Jefferson Clinton was America's first "black" president, could it be that Barack Obama is positioning himself to be the nation's first "gay" president?"
