The 2016 General Assembly is more than 50% over and Georgia is still here. Barely. “Gas Station Women” by Phil Ochs. Kasim Reed says the Sanders “foolishness” won’t fly in GA. Left-leaning economists also not feeling the Bern. Could CNN be leaving Atlanta? Or is Robin Meade’s 100k commode the bigger story? Atlanta “doesn’t get” historic
As Barack Obama considers who should replace Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (and he should be able to, this is pure crybaby-ism from Republicans and Democrats would do the same thing were they in the GOP’s shoes, too), there’s a Georgian who should be strongly considered: former Supreme Court of Georgia Chief Justice Leah Ward
UPDATE: JUST IN: @BernieSanders to visit @Morehouse in Atlanta on Tuesday. @KillerMike will join him at 5 p.m. — WSB-TV (@wsbtv) February 15, 2016 Bernie Sanders continues his HBCU Tour at Morehouse College on Tuesday.

Hillary Clinton appears to be enlisting Atlanta’s two biggest heavyweights to go on the offensive against Bernie Sanders. On Thursday, Congressman John Lewis called into question, well, all of Sanders’ time in the civil rights movement.

Atlanta-based rapper Killer Mike is Sen. Bernie Sanders’ biggest fan, having crisscrossed the country to get young Americans to #FeelTheBern and making the rounds on talking-head TV shows. It also appears Mike, (aka: Michael Render) has sights on a Sanders event in Atlanta. I can guarantee the rap-concert-qua-political-rally would be massively attended. In fact I’d go so far as

UPDATE: I can’t believe I was remiss and failed to link to the starting lineup of Puppy Bowl XII. Slide 15 is Georgia’s representative. Truly this is the dreariest month of all.
