So now it has come to this. Some of the highest government officials in the Bush administration have followed that administration’s logic to its inevitable conclusion and have decided that waterboarding US troops is not a violation of the Geneva Conventions.

There will be no episode of The Citizen Sports Blitz today, but we will be taping a special at Velocity Sports Performance on Sunday from 2-4 p.m. It will air on Monday and we will have one more episode on Wednesday, Dec. 19 before a hiatus through the end of the year.

Yet again, the Atlanta Falcons are looking for a new head coach.

And it comes as no surprise.

It perplexes me that Falcons owner Arthur Blank and general manager Rich McKay put their complete faith in Bobby Petrino, a man who has a history of not being forthright with those who have hired him.

This year, the item at the top of my fifth-grader's wish list is the dreaded (for parents) "drum set." I have been putting off making a decision on this.

I thought I would try and lighten the mood in here with this video clip. (I hope this link works, it's my 1st try).

Make sure you watch until the very end...

Did that bunch ever get off of vacation?
Didn't a large group of them say they weren't going to attend the functions anyway? Sunnis, weren't they?

John Thompson is on today's Daily Citizen talking about yesterday's redistricting forum.

Should sound a little better than yesterday's, he sat closer to the mic.

A couple of people chose to take potshots in another thread at republicans who are pro-life. In a sort of hit-and-run style, they suggested that such pro-lifers are "hypocrites" but included that they did not want to get the thread sidetracked.

Look, the recent political forum, according to what I‘ve heard and read, gives you just two choices to fill House District 72: Steve Brown or Matt Ramsey.

Our military in Iraq sent off a battalion of Iraqi soldiers to "whack-a-mole" an area out of Baghdad not long ago! I think on their own except for communications.

I let the idiots who play basketball for a living go, thinking their game at least kept them busy. I also let the Roman gladiators who crush each others knees, shoulders and heads during a football practice or game go.

We lost a great Father,Husband and Firefighter today that worked for Forrest Park and formerly for the City of Fayetteville Fire Department.

I see where the Villages Amphitheater series was announced. Except for one or two shows, not much to get excited about.

This morning, GitReal posted his usual baseless and never-with-any-proof accusations of criminal activities by DevAuth, Lenox, etc. This time, he included a link that somehow was supposed to "prove" that Bob Lenox and his "crew" covered-up and quashed an investigation into the Development Authority after the GBI had looked into it. Problem was, his link started off with a statement that Mayor STEVE BROWN in 2003 instructed Chief Murray to investigate the DevA. How exactly did Lenox and "his crew" quash this investigation when they weren't in office and the Development Authority was shutting-down???

Today's Daily Citizen is an interview with John Munford who attended and covered last night's candidate's forum.

Most folks believe that the state Department of Transportation is a mess.

This morning's AJC (12/13) indicated that the DOT has almost 300 current projects and a backlog of almost 9000 projects!!

I'm gonna run away and hide!

A good question--not a very good answer!
Industry uses 80% of the water, homes use 20%.

Last night was the very first time that the McIntosh Symphonic Strings and the McIntosh Symphonic Band ever played together as a complete orchestra.

I have defended Mayor Logsdon and Mitch Seabaugh in the past and I defend their right to choose as they see fit. They were elected by the people and until they're unelected, leave them alone.

There is no weather but our TV forecasters try to earn the big bucks which sponsor the weather by blabbing. An example: I will exhibit my graphic for you showing rain in Texas and moving NE. We may get rain Friday from that. I'll be right back to explain the rain..... Well the rain may go north of us but I originally thought it would hit on the GA, NC lines in the mountains, which of course is US! I'll be right back to explain that!

Racial Hoaxes and the NAACP

while Acey1 and I boast about our youngest, Lil Chip. He joined his older brother and became an Eagle Scout tonight!

(Cue the Law and Order bum-bum)

Mayor Steve Brown was a camera hog.

An election is a decision making process, by which voters choose the best candidate they believe will represent them.
