Does this conflict involve a continuation in the Battle of the Also Rans?
That school fix link is depressing: the people in charge can’t help all the failing schools, they don’t know which schools to help, they have no idea what form help will take or how much it will cost, and they have a week to work it all out.
You can read the Georgia Water Coalition report here: https://www.gawater.org/watering-georgia-report
31 people were killed by police in the United States last week. https://chamblee54.wordpress.com/2017/11/12/killed-by-police-november-12/
Kenyan Muslim. Pedophile. Fair and balanced.
Comparable crimes both morally and criminally. Innocent until proven guilty equally applicable, or rather non-applicable, since neither would be in court. The GOP was willing to refrain from declaring Obama ineligible IF the allegations were proven false. Exactly the same thing.
I guess Noway is out smashing his Keurig in support of Roy Moore.
…that he already would have paid for.
Or…maybe he went to buy one so he could smash it
Yeah, any decent liberal shouldn’t even own a Keurig so if Hannity’s sheeple smash their machines who else is going to consume 10 billion K-cups per year?
Me.
Looks like Bafoon McKoon is a sore loser that gets mad when gerrymandering doesnt work the way he wants it to

While I was drinking my nice single serve cup of fresh coffee I read this article sure to annoy a certain coffee maker smashing wing-nut radio and cable news host

I’m enough of a coffee snob to prefer fresh ground beans though I mostly lean towards plain ol’ Eight O’Clock beans. I have to keep up my fiscal conservative rep.
As to Judge Roy
BeanMoore, I’m glad Georgia will always have Alabama.I have reusable cups. I ground a few weeks worth at a time. I also use loose tea in their own reusable set.. I get K-cups as gifts. (I wonder if my Trumpster godchild will get me any for Christmas over this?)
You must have the Keurig version 1, before they made it so you couldnt use “non-approved ” K-cups. I use the removable, reusable K-cup all the time for loose tea, but I dont miss all the mess that came with just making a single cup of coffee
Did he sign her yearbook though…?
OK, we have to have this conversation: We are accepting the statements of these women. What is different about this than Juanita Broadrick and Paula Jones?
At the time I (and many of us) were satisfied that just making an allegation wasn’t enough. Have the times changed? Do we need to talk about Bill Clinton in the same terms as Roy Moore? Am I not remembering the circumstances from back then clearly?
Yes to both.
Times have changed.
Clinton was a dog and he should address his actions more. (He won’t, cus you know, lawsuits…)
Do I put Clinton and Moore in the same terms – To the best I recall Pres. Clinton did not deal with ‘girls’ and stuck to legal age women (which puts him on the same terms as the Trump, SCJ Thomas, Weinstein, and other know harassers of the world). Clinton was impeached for lying about it, and disbarred. For the era, that was extraordinary – regardless if you don’t feel it was enough, it was still amazing for the times. In the current climate, Clinton would have not made it past the elections unless his opponents were hated more then they or their spouses were…
Well, duh! that’s a given.
That’s a good read.
Also look at this one…

Good stuff. And she predicts what is on my mind:”All it will take is one particularly lame allegation …to turn the tide from deep umbrage on behalf of women to pity for the poor, bullied men. Or one false accusation could do it.”
This is a good moment, difficult but good, but inevitably we will overreact, probably damaging some of the good. Hopefully we come out of this a step ahead rather than a step behind. One can even imagine a reverse Handmaids Tale.
Hmmmm….

“Individual Mandate”? Most Georgia Health Insurance companies dropped ALL individual plans this year. I have a household member unable to find any coverage and keep their doctor. Their doctor is suddenly going to lose lots of patients since the major companies are no longer covering Georgia residents.
I just signed up with Kaiser. Didn’t keep my doc, though. Have to go to Kennesaw now. But at least I have insurance. Not optimum, to be sure.
Three of my doctors are out of network on my employer policy. One is a specialist. If I want’s an in network Dr. for that one, I would going u to Emery ever 8 weeks for an appointment that lasts about 3 mins, 10 if they want blood.
