Did that title grab your attention?

Here are some rules or guidelines for avoiding muddled (heh!) thinking.

RULE #1: There is such a thing as the way things really are that obtains independently of what anyone happens to believe about the way they are.

The other day we were shopping at Food Depot in Fayetteville (unfortunately) and I noticed that on the receipt the Food Depot charges all customers a 10% Upcharge (not a tax) the tax was on there too!!!Just wondering if any of you knew that, it was a suprise to me, there aren't any signs anywhere...So if you spend $100 on groceries, your bill will be $110 plus tax!?!#%

I heard second hand (within the system), PEACHTREE CITY POLICE CHEIF MURRY was told to RETIRE OR BE FIRED!! Allegedly Chief Murry became “fresh” with some ladies who we not interested in his advances.

And once again our money is spent.

Congressional Spending Story

HUD wants to demolish low income housing units and offer an opportunity for private investment money to rebuild housing that has been vacant since Hurricane Katrina. Wouldn't you know it, some don't want that. Read to see more.

Mom Confesses to Crime Spree
(WSB Radio) A College Park mother has confessed to organizing and assisting in a summertime crime spree involving her 12-year-old son and some of his friends.

Ann Coulter's 15 minutes of fame appear to be just about up.

Her latest book, "If Democrats had any brains, etc" debuted at #1 but rapidly fell out of the top ten. It was on the NY Times bestseller list for a scant 4 weeks and has sold 97,000 copies. It is now at #178 nationwide.

Christmas always has been my favorite holiday. The food, fun and time spent with my beloved family are the top three reasons I cherish Christmas.

I can't believe Blockbuster is raising the 3-per membership fee again.. this time by 40%! I'm finally making the move to

I don't think you can be as naive as you pretend!
Constantly badgering others to meet you or you might not come to coffee, etc.

Is that the same as bombing us? Turkey is trying to kill the Kurds in northern Iraq, who they say have been acting as bandits on the Turkish border. Don't really know why! The Kurds are Persian, I think--or came from there long ago, anyway, and have in the long past been occupied by the Romans for hundreds of years and the Arabs once for some time.

I found the best dictionary available, yet searched in vain. Nowhere was “developer” defined as “one who chooses

Plusieurs de vous aiment critiquer mon épellation et grammaire. Peut-être vous voudriez tenir cette conversation en ma langue maternelle ainsi nous pouvons employer la grammaire correcte. Mon intention est de mettre l'information en évidence. Je suis désolé que mon anglais soit déficient.

Opps, my error. It's state rep not US rep. Lack of turn out is still disgraceful.

Back to the point, Ramsey's first course of action will be to determine how to keep the seat in future elections. It will begin by providing handouts to those likley to vote for him and provide funds in the next election.

a certain high school teacher chocked my neice but i see it did not make the paper. i guess if you the principle and you assistant get drunk and you coach tests your student than a teacher chocking someone aint no big deal.

Why would a group of prominent developers, lawyers, real estate, and mortgage people spend over $40,000 to get their candidate elected when they knew the only serious challenger (Steve Brown) would be spending NOTHING. I think there is one simple answer: making sure the TDK bridge and extension get built.

For such an educated populace we have here in Fayette County, we sure don't seem to have a grasp on democracy.

In the election for the 72nd District seat on the House of Representatives, a mere 11.1 percent of the voters bothered to show up and cast their ballots.

It just dawned upon me what a speech from Muddle might sound like if he were President of th USA.:
Now citizens of Greece---oh, I mean America, the soluble non-problems we face graciously with every solstice has caused seventy-three equally valuable solutions to emerge from my souls.

Mike Boylan and John Munford discuss the results of the special election and the candidacy of Wayne Hannah for sheriff.

A recent exchange with a blogger here convinced me that some people react rather than reflect. Instead of making an attempt at an actual assessment of my argument (or simply ignoring it because it is admittedly long), this blogger chose to project views on me that I neither harbored nor launched. Oscar Wilde said, "If you cannot answer a man's arguments, don't panic. You can always insult him." Typically, "answering a man's arguments" calls for understanding them. Our blogger chose to skip the middle man and go straight for the insult part.

on December 17, 1903 discovered powered flight. It wasn't a government or a nation pouring money into a program but it was simply two individuals chasing a dream.

Well, someone forgot to tell Fayette County gov that there was an election today for district 72. Their website last latest new has municipal run-off election on 12/4. DUH.

Please check in again, we be worrying again.

I just got back from the polls and at my precinct the workers said turn out was only about 10%

That is SAD. I have vowed to vote in EVERY election. If you don't vote, you have no right to complain later,

Let’s talk about the election in much different way than the negative mud slinging of the paid Ramsey blogers.

Many on this site and people like the reporter from the AJC said Steve Brown is more polished and has more experience than the other candidates.

It was a real disappointment to see how Matt Ramsey's people plastered signs all over the Fayetteville First Unitied Methodist Church.

I heard the darndest thing today on TV news about how the oil prices have created food shortages!
Basically it seems that many big farmers, in he USA anyway, raised more corn than usual since oil has caused this commodity to be worth more than any other food.

A blogger today said the money above, borrowed by the Tennis Center and a Tennis Pro, (my words) went to developers!

Just when I think I know where it went (I understand the books were no good at the old authority)someone else says it went another place!

I know with the holidays coming up, everybody is busy, but would anybody want to have another Bloggers' Coffee Meeting? If so when and where? I'd like to do the "new" (i.e. old Fuddruckers) Starbucks in front of Publix in PTC on Friday around 12 noon (1200 hours, Hack ). Or we could do someplace/some time else if that's not convenient....

Your cds are waiting for you downstairs.
