The best time to announce layoffs and a wholesale business change to your decimated team? Two days after Christmas, duh. Creative Loafing‘s top brass decided today is the time to “finally say goodbye to an era that is likely gone” announcing “reduced roles” for three editorial positions and four layoffs on the sales side of
Be sure to post your mailing addresses below if you want a sweet gift from me. LET’S NOT FORGET HOW GSU GIFTED THE WORLD A FANTASTIC PIECE OF HISTORY ON SATURDAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH. “Christmas in Dixie” by Alabama I’m gonna say it’s a bad thing if $5 million for GA 911 services just
The state of Alabama was able to count all of their ballots faster than Fulton County was able to count ballots in a special election run-off. Alabama, where learning the Three Rs is optional, can count better than we can with one-fifth the number of residents. Honestly it’s kind of embarrassing.
A new legislative session is set to dawn and once again, the 40-day legislature will attempt to solve all Georgia’s problems. House Speaker David Ralston told WABE on Monday that some of the new challenges for the body in 2018 will be to prevent sexual misconduct under the Gold Dome, “beefing up” enforcement on opioids,
The true person of the year: whoever buys me the best gifts. “Supercapitalism” by Wynton Marsalis. GSU researchers detecting cancer. Perhaps not surprising: White House doesn’t know who John Lewis is. Stacey Evans hopes Roy Moore gets elected. Isakson wants expedience on VA funding vote. St. Simon’s stinks! Should Jimmy be indicted for Russian collusion?
I’ve listened to approximately 373 hours of Christmas music thus far….and I’m just getting warmed up (meaning I haven’t even played Mannheim Steamroller yet). “Last Christmas” by your girl and mine Taylor Swift. Georgia State legend (and some say greatest Georgia football player ever) Robert Davis added to Redskins active roster. Coke’s $2.6 million grant
Sen. Rick Jeffares, riding the windfall of his major legislative accomplishments the…uh…we’ll get back to you on that… and presumably ready to reach a decision on how to avoid a massive conflict of interest as Lieutenant Governor is leaving the state senate so he can campaign full time for Lite Gov. Now, usually when you have
Yes, Kasim Reed is term-limited but let’s be honest: His hand-picked candidate, Keisha Lance Bottoms, will be Mayor Reed the Second if she is elected. And right now I doubt she will*. The slew of endorsements for Mary Norwood from virtually every one of her erstwhile opponents and Mayor Shirley Franklin are stunning–for their anti-Reed
I’m thankful for all my loyal fans (IE: the entirety of GAPol’s readership). And to anyone who isn’t on board: White House shares Sen. Perdue’s op-ed. And the best junior senator from Georgia sends happy birthday wishes to the 3rd Infantry Division. Kennesaw realizes it will have to readjust if it wants to survive.
It’s hard to endorse the usually good work of The Georgia Trust when this year’s “Places in Peril” list contains literal trash. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who approaches development (or change in general) with as much skepticism as I do. But I can’t quite see the harm to a few specific places
