Well, Sonny Perdue has signed a bill which will take away tax credits to the poor. Conveniently, he’s yucking it up in Cuba right now, so he’s not even here to take his due criticism. While he was at it, he also signed a gun bill that will allow folks to carry guns in non-federally [...]

Today, the Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that we metro residents are being grossly overtaxed for our homes which values have tanked. Friday, three more banks failed and Georgia continues to be the number one state for bank failures.

Teachers are being furloughed and Georgia’s higher education system has announced more fees charged to student students and employee cuts to offset the effects of the state’s budget crisis.

Ok campers, last week we learned that you may not be able to swim at the club pool in Philadelphia if you change the complexion or atmosphere–aka swimming while black or brown.

This past Friday, I took an excursion to Jazz Journeys at the Georgia Aquarium. On Friday nights this summer, the aquarium is featuring a multitude of jazz artists.
