Friday Random Thoughts
- A Democratic take over of the House of Representatives may be the only that causes Republicans to actually practice what they preach.
- There is no reason a city manager of a town of less than 10,000 people should make as much as a Congressman. We know that is the case in McDonough and down in Stockbridge where Gollum makes a killing as a leach on the taxpayers.
- I don't know this to be fact, but I've heard from several very credible sources that the Billy Copeland, the Mayor of McDonough, retired from Norfolk Southern, which just happens to be the company that owns the tracks that will be the Atlanta-Lovejoy commuter rail will use. They will not be giving up ownership of the tracks, but will leasing them to GDOT. Norfolk Southern trains will still have priority and the tracks will receive improvements that would benefit their interests. Who pays for it? You. This, if true, explains why Copeland ignored the wishes of Hampton's duly elected leaders.
- If you live in the 4th District, you may find this interesting. One site calls it "a sociological analysis of the ways in which white corporations-subtly and not so subtly-demean and contain Black Women."
Did Cynthia McKinney change her name and move to Henry County?
- The State Ethics Commission has released a list of candidate late/non-filers. A lot of names from Henry County on this list...names like Adams, Lunsford, Vincent, Gonsal and Crotts...just to name a few. It doesn't really mean anything. I'm just passing along the information. In Adobe you can press CTRL plus the F key and type "Henry County" for a search.
- Johnny Cash is amazing.

Hooray, a prospective county commissioner (and a woman) who can string together coherent thoughts in English! For some, even that rudimentary skill is threatening.

Thomas,
She can't come up with a coherent disclosure form though. Have you seen it? It's chicken stratch.
She didn't write the quote that I posted. That is a review.
Any idiot can write a book...haven't you heard of Karl Marx?

Believe it or not, I HAVE heard of Karl Marx. Groucho Marx was better reading, but George Wallace was deadly.

Thomas, it was a rhetorical question.

Johnny Cash is amazing.
I agree.

You have to be kidding me on the Gonsal disclosure report. Is that what she actually filed?
How can we expect anything better from her as a commissioner if she can not file simple paper work?
I don’t mean to sound ugly here but this lady has no business running for District 4 Commissioner.

So what exactly are you insinuating, Jason? That the Mayor participated in a conflict of interest? Even if he was retired from NS (which I have no idea), are you saying he can't have a sincere bel
