Georgia vs. 6/6 TCU in Liberty Bowl. When a team with six losses goes bowling that means we got too many bowls.
I’m still pondering on the Tide and Falcons two point plays. One an oops, one a disaster.
Not to mention MissSt (5-7), North Texas (5-7) and Hawai’i (6-7) all in bowls.
Since 99.5% of the players in the NFL’s minor leagues will not make it to the show and will never make any money over the table for playing then we have to have participation bowls and participation trophies. Besides it might actually have been a lifetime dream for some kid to play in the Dollar General Bowl.
Three for one:
Huff post political writer Carter had a point about Hillarys loss, a big shift in Democratic positioning. The party leaders depicted the white working class as racists sucking up many minority workers and union workers in the deplorable sweep.
If we are so concerned about Georgia/Atlanta public infrastructure like roads and bridges why would legislation consider casino money for another source for edu-cracy ?
Is the rumor true that Kremer is pushing for a Blue Dog Democrat party in Georgia ?
The world’s oldest bell foundry, which cast the Liberty Bell and Big Ben, is closing. The Whitechapel Bell Foundry was formed in 1570 but lately business has been tough.

Now old news the ongoing bad joke that is the Trump transition—Trump slammed Saturday Night Live on Twitter for a sketch about his tweets.
“Just tried watching Saturday Night Live – unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad,” Trump tweeted, to which Alec Baldwin replied, “Release your tax returns and I’ll stop.”
Ben Carson as HUD secretary.
Qualifications: Lived in housing. That was urban.
Got it.
Ben Carson as HUD secretary:
2 qualifications:
Brown nose not as noticeable.
Long naps will allow the real HUD staff to work in peace.
more like lull staff into even less productivity. i sense layoffs in this dept.
What qualifies a person to oversee a massive bureaucracy that accomplishes so little despite wasting so much? The current HUDSec was a mayor before being appointed. Carson ran a major medical facility for a top notch university. Basically just need a warm body to figure out how billions will be handed out.
Oh Bart. You are becoming the blonde bimbo of Georgia Pol.
A background in urban planning. Experience in public housing. Any sort of business experience.
Carson was a surgeon. A doctor. If I had a headache, I might consider him.
With a rank amateur on top,do we need unqualified persons to run important agencies?
Scary thought of the day…
I am more technically qualified to be a HUD Secretary then Dr. Ben Carson… (just dwell on that for a few minutes).
So, what kinds of interference and hindrances are the Agitators, Mob Members and Snowflakes working on this am? More obstructionist recounts? How much you reckon Hilly is paying her for all of this? No evidence of tampering. No evidence of hacking. This is just to stall, stall, stall….Put your hands together and giggle your hearts out! Guess what folks? The Donald is yall’s Prez. Better get used to it. So, what’s next…I know, how ’bout a sit-in somewhere? Breath holding contest? Stirring rendition of Kumbaya? C’mon, be a sport!
“In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” President-Elect CvF

Someone needs to teach Speaker Ralston about federalism. Congress can’t pass a RFRA that applies to states, and there is already a federal RFRA.
