Georgia Republicans are Bought and Paid For – Even Erick Erickson Agrees

I am not a big fan of Erik Erickson. I view him as a narcissistic bloviator who has a massive ego not backed up by his intellect. But just like the old expression of a broken clock being correct at least twice a day, it appears even Erickson can occasionally observe that all those trees in […]Read Post ›

Two New Mega Stadiums for Atlanta – Whether We Want Them or Not

The City of Atlanta-Falcons negotiations which ended  with agreement for a new Falcons stadium —  followed by the surprise revelation of the Braves’ move to Cobb County – was a secret deal that caught most of the City of Atlanta hierarchy off-guard and most citizens completely by surprise. New Atlanta Braves Stadium In one of the most egregious examples of […]Read Post ›

GARDENING FOR THE GREATER GOOD

 A farmer’s market within an urban environment has the ability to transform the lives and landscapes around it and give access to fresh, nutritional produce within the local urban communities. The ATLANTA 3×3 Project serves as both a working market and organic training farm for participating veterans. The purpose of the project is to create […]Read Post ›

Harper Lee, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Of ‘To Kill A Mockingbird,’ Dies At 89

  I was greatly saddened to hear of the death of Nelle Harper Lee, arguably my favorite author of definitely my favorite book AND movie.  I still remember the very first time I saw To Kill a Mockingbird at our local drive-in, and how I sat spell-bound as the story unfolded. You see, I saw a […]Read Post ›

The culture of caregiving is no exception.  This tale is said to be authored by an anonymous elderly gentleman, living in an Australian nursing home. Cranky Old Man What do you see nurses? .

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE TPP

Everyone, me included, has been polarized by Bridgegate and Governor Christie’s role in that debacle. And while New Jerseys nightmare does represent a microcosm of politics in America, it has become a wedge issue that is distracting us from a real threat to our country: The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP is being touted by […]Read Post ›

Thanksgiving Letter to the Family

This will be my first Thanksgiving without my gallbladder.  And I just learned that we have one more special needs eater in the family. I’ll tell you what, this year I will meet you all halfway.  I’ll make the same meal I make every year and those of you with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten issues […]Read Post ›

Welfare Rules – Better Know Them

This meme pops up every two weeks or so, with a lot of “THIS IS SO TRUE LOL” and “THIS IS OBUMMER’S FAULT” comments from people with the appearance and mentality, on average, of a 13 year-old.  These nasty assholes need a kick in the junk. It depicts  the latest “let’s hate the poor and pretend that trying to survive on the […]Read Post ›

BREAKING BAD

Like many, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the final episodes of Breaking Bad. In case you’re among the few who aren’t familiar; it’s a show about Walter White, a 50-year-old High School Chemistry Teacher who’s been a loving father, a loyal husband, and an all round highly regarded member of his community. And then he gets […]Read Post ›

Gun Culture in America

“That most fundamental set of rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness — fundamental rights that were denied to college students at Virginia Tech, and high school students at Columbine, and elementary school students in Newtown, and kids on street corners in Chicago on too frequent a basis to tolerate, and all […]Read Post ›
