Estrich: Benghazi isn't good issue for GOP

Republican hatred for the president is on display again.

They have no intention of getting anything useful done this term either.

They hope their made for TV spectacle will gain them political points.

It will backfire on them and delay their White House ambitions for several terms.

Downtown Athens step closer to getting grocery store

I forgot to mention in my previous post that the effects of this law will also be a great benefit to those who live downtown or near downtown that cannot afford a car.

Good Job Spencer!

Downtown Athens step closer to getting grocery store

Thank you Spencer!

I've lived downtown since 2001.

I walk to work at UGA.

I only drove 3,000 miles last year, half of that to see my family in Atlanta.

It has been a major pain in the neck to buy groceries and other staples.

That is about to change. This law will greatly improve my quality of life.

It WILL result in no-automobile residents downtown (ones that CAN afford them) and ACTUALLY reduce traffic and parking problems.

Oh yeah, it will be good for Athens and Athens businesses.

Good Job!

Dupuy: More guns, more gun profits, more gun deaths

We are so awash in guns, simply passing laws restricting gun ownership won't work. There are too many guns. The rest of the World solved their gun problems long ago. We are stuck with ours. Arm yourself to protect yourself from what the NRA (and the profitable gun manufacturers) have brought us. This is a dangerous country to live in.

Blackmon: Testing regimen failing Georgia students

We have these tests because our "leaders" seem incapable of understanding that there is much more to being educated than gaining the ability to pass multiple-choice standardized tests.

Athens club sues rapper Gucci Mane for no-show

Angry Athens woman nearly runs down pedestrians

Attention sidewalk pedestrians

Keep your eyes open for angry or drunk (or angry drunk) motorists leaving the road, mounting the curb and running you over.

Don't think its safe out there.

Mulvaney: NRA school security plan off target

Logic, as sound as that expressed here, is rare and very valuable. The NRA plan is illogical and dangerous.

Broadcasters worry about 'Zero TV' homes

People, by the millions, are realizing that TV is a tremedous waste of time.

Worse than that, it is a control mechasnism that deadens their brains. Idiot Broadcasters wonder why we don't want to pay for hundreds of channels of essentially garbage.

There are so many better things to do.

The Editor's Desk: Lobbying 'reform' falls far short

So, they have decided on a long list of bribes that they consider acceptable.

The total cash value of these allowable bribes is unlimited.

Is that progress?

Hell no!

Pope's foot-washing final blow for traditionalists

This is a Pope I can support. He is humble. This is great for the poor and weak he serves (doesn't "rule over"). I find it amusing and heartwarming that reactionarys in very high and exalted Church positions are uncomfortable with the way he is and his methods. The irony is delicious.
