Lunchtime Reads for Tuesday, October 5

By  Politics  1 Comment

Good afternoon! It was a rainy night in Georgia.

  • At the People’s House, will good fences really make good neighbors?
    • (Seriously – read the poem. You probably need more culture as it is. Discuss your interpretation in the comments.)
  • It’s only Tuesday but it has already been a rough week for Facebook.
  • At last night’s Atlanta mayoral forum, public safety was the main issue (as it will likely be on the ballot this November).
  • Pooler-base Gulfstream announced two new private jets, including one that has enough range to fly from NYC to Sydney, Australia.
  • An apparent animal sacrifice took place on the beach at Tybee Island and according to authorities, it’s not the first time that has happened.
  • We haven’t even had the special session yet, but here’s an overview of which issues several lawmakers (myself included) anticipate in the 2022 legislative session.
  • In Clayton County, cleanup continues following a jet fuel spill in late September.
  • The threat of a strike from film crew workers would likely impact Georgia’s film industry.

    In the simpler times I grew up in Secretary of State Ben Fortson would personally lead tours of the State Capitol to school children from his wheel chair.

    The hypocracy in building this fence is pretty obvious. During Ralph Reed’s RFRA demonstrations his group was allowed in the rotunda complete with mics and loudspeakers. This was during the legislative sesseion and after the completion of Liberty Plaza.

    My uncouth self never has had an appreciation for poetry that wasn’t accompanied by a stringed instrument.
