I am Nitpickers. Now I notice while I was gone that there is a Nitpickers1 on here now! It seems we are simply just going to have to discuss each blurb as to it content and ignore the name of the sender!

Just opened in Tyrone. I wish them great success. They should be thankful that Amos and the old government is no longer in power. Otherwise, the Spezzano family would be investing their money, hopes and dreams in a town whose government might pass ordinances without notice that would take away delis as a permitted use for downtown redevelopment and destroy the Spezzano’s business. Like they did to so many other businesses that are still suffering from ordinance 454. They won’t have to worry about Smola sneaking around the parking lot and his wife & her buddies coming in criticizing the businesses like she did at the antique shop, or Barry inspecting the herb shop without identifying himself trying to find some reason to refuse a business license. But beware, ordinance 454 and many other destructive laws are still on the books and Valerie is still the one who decides who and who cannot operate a business in Tyrone.

Your responses to my blog were so interesting that I started this new blog to make the conversation easier to find.

First I want to say that we are in total agreement that the President’s Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform did not focus exclusively on the FairTax, it was one of several scenarios that they studied; so you are right!

Hey, my dad just brought this up:

In 1982 it snowed for a week here.

Since then, can anyone remember it snowing more than one day of the week? We usually get one day and then nothing for a while, just curious. I think it was 1994 or 95 when it may have snowed overnight, which brought it up to 2 days, but 2 separate days seems like it's a first for us.

you might want to inquire about lower rates. According to the AJC, these companies have lowered there rates but are not required to tell you unless you inquire.

After watching the “new group” for two meetings it is evident that they have discovered a money tree. First they fire the existing Town Manager/Town Engineer.

Last week, this paper seemed Smolorised.... The John and John show made inappropiate smug remarks at the new government we worked so hard to get, and you wrote an editorial slamming them as well.

There is nothing like the NFL playoffs. The first two rounds have been exciting, with the New York Giants and San Diego Chargers pulling off big upsets, defeating the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts, respectively, and the undefeated New England Patriots’ march to the Super Bowl.

It happened some years ago. My Great, Grand Uncle Joe Longtooth, who lives in Transylvania asked that we visit them that year. He and his Witch lived in an old Castle on the fourth floor and the castle had no elevator, or lift as they call it there.

These things mentioned in the title above can not be defined anymore, accurately, due to withheld information and lies by this administration!

Here is a story to think about when choosing your utility company.

On Wednesday, Jan 16th my middle school daughter came home from classes and could not get in the garage door. We have a keypad entry so the kids don't carry keys. She went to the front and found a notice from EMC. They had cut off the electricity. As she stood there our son pulled up and he let her in with his key. Our daughter called me and relayed the news.

voted tonight to move forward with the forensic audit of the books. The only two people against it was Michael Smola & Eric Dial. Smola’s afraid the audit might turn up some criminal activity that would implement him. Dial is a Smola ally, having met with Smola last September to plan election strategy. Look for Dial to oppose anything that would change past actions of the old council.

In this morning's AJC there is a note that the Georgia House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee yesterday passed the bill requiring a 1000-foot buffer between the residencies of convicted sex-offenders and children's centers {HB-1059}.

I do enjoy reading the various blogs and commentaries here at thecitizen.com. However, to me it is distracting and irritating to wade through several individual communications/personal messages that are not relevant to the original discussion topic.

Steve,
I read your usual "every city council but my city council is corrupt" letter and I do have some questions for you to answer:

I did not write this but found it in free speech 1-16-08. Hail to the open views of the public:

Tyrone’s new Town Council is 0-3. The new council promised ethical government; the citizens got an investigation of the mayor by the state of Georgia’s Ethics Commission. The new council promised open government; the citizens got secret council meetings at the mayor’s house. The new council promised to be fiscally responsible; the citizens got a new town manager with less duties than the previous manager, paid $22,000 above the maximum for a small town and a 58 percent increase in the hourly rate paid by the taxpayers for a town attorney.

Happy snow day everyone! After a long year's drought, it's good to see a little precipitation, whatever the form. Though, I would like to send a modest plea to the FCBOE: give us Thursday off! A one-day break does wonders for morale, which is pretty low as it is.

Personally, I hope these men are shot and killed, not captured. Their remains incerated and dumped at the landfill. What a shame.

UPDATE: 3:19 p.m.

The tiny flakes have eaten their Wheaties apparently. Not only are they bigger but there are more of them. We're getting reports of significant snow in Peachtree City.

McIntosh Boys are starting to show their potential. Look for a second half run and some scores to correct first half loses.

We had discussed the East Fayette By-pass a while back, and questioned the reasoning behind this plan. I noticed yesterday, however, I couldn't read all of the sign because I was driving, there will be a zoning meeting on 1/31.

Thanks to Bob Dylan, for immortalizing those words. Of course, the times seem to ALWAYS be a’changin’, which is a statement about the pace of cultural change.

Fred Thompson may win the SC primary, giving the republicans four primary winners to consider.
Fred does have a younger wife to keep him awake during meetings than did Ronald Reagan.

Our doctors have been forced into the use of medically programmed use of lap top computers to operate their patient records.

Dave Simmons for Sheriff will only help make Fayette County a better place to live, work, and play. The man is a proven winner.
