Now you know why I don't write the headlines for a mass market newspaper. The real sub text of the story is Democratic legislators rally with illegal alien supporters to allowed the continued stealing of jobs from citizens, during what they term as the worst economic situation since the Great Depression.It seems the Democrats want it both ways or really three ways.

Atlanta Tax Protest

By Danny Garner | 02/21/09

I woke up to find this on the web this morning and it seems to be a very interesting proposal. I know conservatives aren't all that skilled at organizing these sort of things, unlike our liberal counterparts who have decades of experience at such things, but I am just encouraged that these sort of protests are starting to catch fire on the right.The Atlanta Tax Protest is still in the early stages of planning, but is geared more towards being a... read more »

Rep John Lewis (D-GA), who was last seen comparing John McCain to George Wallace, has introduced a bill into the House of Representative entitled H.R. 789: To reduce and prevent teen dating violence, and for other purposes. It is always that "other purposes" that you have to look out for.   Now the title of the bill certainly lays out a lofty goal, but I was curious as to how it was that the powers to be in Washington DC were going to... read more »

One day I may grow tired of writing about the woes of Clayton county, and quite honestly it is too easy, but they never seem to understand what is the root cause of their problems. This story is about a shortage of funds the county school system is facing because of students not paying for their meals, but there is an underlying story here.

Patients who either have no insurance or have Medicaid.   Grady Hospital has a long history of mismanagement that not only affects the level of healthcare it administers but also is reflected in its administrative practices. I have personal insight into Grady's abysmal... read more »
