Everytime I watch the news for the last 4-5 days they are announcing that Jet Blue airline is having trouble flying almost anywhere still. People are still stranded in airports everywhere. Jet Blue apologizes but says the problem is because their pilots haven't had enough rest!

My father and I are the closest living relatives to those buried here. I have talked with over 20 plus family members and not a single one want this cemetery moved.

Happy Chinese New Year!

It's the year of the Golden Pig.

Looks like the mayor of PTC must be tax exempt. As of 2/17/07, the taxes on his property was unpaid according to the Tax Commissioners Website.

Why are the African American citizens complaining about our DA? He is an elected official. I elected him to office. The crime in Fayette county seems to be coming from others who live outside the county.

Indoor cat that got out Friday night. He will be frightened and cold.

Be aware of the following: Please be alerted to an incident which happened Feb. 14 in the Abelmarle subdivision. A middle school child was walking home from the bus stop and noticed a man, appx 40 years old following her. The man appeared to be caucasian and unkempt in appearance. The child began to run home and noticed the man chasing her. The child arrived home safely and police were called. Police are currently watching the area. Additional incidents have been reported regarding harassment of young adults in Kroger and Target. In this case a man approached neighborhood youths wanting to know if they had tattoos and if so wanted to see them. The youths recognized the man at Target speaking to other young adults, wrote down his license plate number and have reported the incident to the police. Please be aware, inform children appropriately of activity around them and to report any incidents to police immediately.

A visit to a doctor's office now runs from $100 to $150, just for a check to see what is wrong or to get a prescription.

Is the sales tax the solution to everything?

We have road congestion and other transportation problems in the Atlanta area. Would a little extra sales tax solve the problem?

Coweta posponed a hearing on the zoning for 36 ac. N of 34 @ Fischer Rd. Chat-Flint Region has decided that it will need state approval and a DRI.

Look guys, the Doug blogger is absolutely right. Cele, no matter how wonderful she might be, is turning her back on the problem. Don’t blame Mr. Sweat and the FCBOE for having to play musical chairs with the local students.

Last night, Tyrone's two counselMEN voted FOR a secretary for the code enforcer. The counselWOMEN objected, and had to

How did my political perspective develop? I am the son of a Vietnam vet. I grew up on Air Force bases around the world. I went into JROTC in high school. I was an Airman at 17 years of age. I graduated from the USAFA in 1989. I have lived and breathed military and love of country my whole life. I moved here to PTC in 2001, pre 9/11. I was inspired and encouraged by the national unity of late 2001 and most of '02. I was on fire to go after Al Qaieda and the Taliban in '02. My "fire in the gut" turned to shock and awe when I saw our focus being dilluted with banter about the threat of Iraq (banter from both sides of the isle, by the way). I became even more dissillusioned as I watched unprecedented national unity squandered by attack politics. For most of my A-10 career, I was a small part of the large US force that contained Sadaam. There was never a question in my mind that Iraq was contained, and that the focus needed to remain on our attackers in Afghanistan. Every time I expressed that opinion, as citizen Kevin King, either on these boards, or in the paper, my love of country was attacked; attacked by people who don't even have the demonstrable service that I have. If you are going to attack someone's love of country, you'd best have a long list of very overt service of your own. Otherwise your attacks seem hollow. I'm pointing out that my love of country was attacked by people who have never risked life for country. And that p@ssed me off. I changed my logon name to AF-A-10, inspired by ArmyMajretired, as an instant insight to my perspective. Basmati, JeffC, Bladder, Dollar, and the other voices bold enough to go against the Fayette County conservative grain are doing so because our opinions were not honestly debated, but attacked as "yellow, cut-and-run, hate America first, terrorist-appeasing, cut-and-jog, bleeding-heart liberal, etc." I have never contributed to political campaigns, and never been partisan in my conversations until I felt forced to interject what I felt was a very much needed counterpoint to the "axis of evil" simpleton talk. Even with bi-partisan disappointment in and disapproval of the President's policies, so many in this country still try to say that it is just "democratic whining." A certain incredulous lawyer who blogs here suggested that the only reason republicans are speaking out against our Iraq direction is that they have given in to democratic whining. If I were Walter Jones, Chuck Hagel, or Olympia Snow, that attitude would infuriate me! The idea that I cannot think from the depths of my soul that occupying Iraq during sectarian civil unrest is not a good thing, without being called a terrorist or democrat appeaser. Add to that a President of all of these United States, who actually said here in Ga., that a vote for democrats is a vote for terrorists. Well, America voted, and I am starting to feel we are gaining our liberty back, along with our freedom of thought and expression. I tried my best to be a non-partisan, down the line guy all of my life, but the very tangible attacks on anyone opposing the invasion and occupation of Iraq forced my hand. My sense of allegiance to the US Constitution will not allow me to remain silent. Patriotism is non-partisan. Attacking people's love of country because of their party is UNAMERICAN. And I will not remain silent. God Bless this country, and the voices of all of her citizens, and cheers to all!

Well, we are now 45 days into the newly-constituted County Commission's term. So far, I have a few minor complaints but, on the whole, they haven't done anything totally offensive. But, here comes their first test; today's Planning Commission agenda was limited to a single issue . . . amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.

Dear Fayette County Republicans,

If I may introduce myself, my name is Michael Posey. I have been privileged to have lived here in Fayette County for these last 7 years and have served on the Executive Board of the Republican Party for the last three. I have been honored to have served on the Executive Board as a vice chair, but now I feel that I can help the local party in a more direct leadership role. Therefore, I am announcing my candidacy to run for Chairman of the Fayette County Republican Party in the upcoming March 24, 2007 election. I am asking for your support and for your help.

Three reasons to drastically reduce the westside annexation density. Mayor Logsdon is hoping you'll forget about the facts. It's like TDK, he wants the developers to win.

Fayette's infamous do-nothing United States Congressman Lynn Westmoreland shoots his mouth off on national TV again.

The PTSO lady, Cele Eifert, is a great example of reactionary politics. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud her stepping up and taking some kind of action, most people won’t act at all. However, why weren’t parents asking for more participation long ago? Most won't be part of the process and they will only surface to scream about the outcomes.

I think that the article by Mr Munford was some of the most biased piece of junk that I have read. I thought I was reading the AJC.

How many additional firemen and police officers will be added to staff. Probably none. God help them!!!

Does anyone have another number for Coweta County Code Enforcement? I've dialled the (770)254-2669 number every day at different times (multiple times) and never get an answer.

We really are sending nutcases to Georgia government! Either that or they want a payoff somewhere along the way.
The house voted to allow us to carry a loaded gun in our car that is hidden, and ATL wants gambling allowed in underground to pay for Grady Hospital.

It doesn't seem so long ago that the belligerent Trey Hoffmans of the worlds and his bellicose bully-boy followers held sway over the public discourse in the Peachtree Citizen. Smearing and sliming all in their wake, they routinely impugned the patriotism of those that dared to not follow them in lockstep.

The school staff is being racist by forcing ALL students to not go to regular classes on Friday and instead spend the entire day watching movies about black history.

I have this really great idea! Okay, the basis for this idea is my personal situation, but here goes: First, a little history.

The recent article “PTC ducks density issue for annexation” has the developers sounding like they are victims or something. Kathryn Zickert of Levitt and Sons acts like we owe her something for the privilege of her subdivision being in Peachtree City.

PTC is featured in the current issue of Atlanta Magazine. (warts and all)
Some of you might enjoy reading it.

An old Southern Baptist country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.

I thought I'd try something a bit different in this blog. I'm going to put aside my personal animosity towards ArmyMajRetired and attempt to have a debate of substance with him.

Just wanted to let ya'll know that another Fayetteville eatery closed its doors overnight this past Friday. McCallisters Deli on 314 (across from Wallgreen's)went belly-up.
