Good morning! Have you made your eclipse plans yet? You have less than two weeks to strategize how you’re going to get to northeast Georgia by around 2 PM on Monday, August 21. Traffic will be a nightmare as millions of Americans take part in what promises to be “the most photographed, most shared, most
Good morning! We regret to inform you that the State Dinner honoring the Nigerian Crown Prince has been cancelled. Trump is a dictator! No, really: apparently, he dictated his son’s statement about his (fruitless) meeting with the Russians. In a blow to the NCGOP, a panel of Federal judges ordered North Carolina to redraw its
Good morning! President Trump spoke to the Boy Scouts of America yesterday at their quadrennial Jamboree. It’s easy to find commentary on his remarks (that ran the gamut from yacht orgies to the size of the inauguration crowd to the possibility of firing Tom Price to the “war on Christmas”) so here’s a link to
Good morning! I survived ten days in the Cascadian Subduction Zone, yay! The Atlanta City Council unanimously approved funding for a comprehensive plan to address homelessness. There’s a new candidate for Insurance Commissioner. Here are seven off-the-menu items to try next time you’re in Atlanta. Delta is ready for a Twitter take-down when you are,
In honor of Independence Day, and because I’m writing these on July 3, let’s take a deep dive into Georgia music history with Kelly Hogan and The Jody Grind (yes, that’s Mike Mills on mandolin): What, y’all thought I’d give you a crying eagle? Are your pets terrified of fireworks? David Tennant to the rescue!
Good morning! It’s kind of a slow week. So far… GOPers less than enthusiastic about the healthcare bill. Savannah-based Gulfstream turns 50. FOrmer Delta CEO Richard Anderson is Amtrak’s new CEO. Morehouse College alum (and valedictorian) Harold Martin, Jr., was named interim president of the historically-black, all-male college. European grocery behemoth Lidl (it rhymes with
All together now: ONE DAY MORE! Regardless of today’s outcome, the GOP is remiss in CD6 (and elsewhere) if they dismiss “an army of mostly white, suburban working mothers who had until now lived politically somnambulant lives.” Yes, there’s a lot to unpack in this article. Travel and tourism business leaders in Savannah aren’t happy
One week until the CD6 runoff! Meanwhile, maybe it’s time to call an end to this whole American experiment and just make Dolly Parton Queen of America. Listen to Dolly’s cover of Brandi Carlile’s masterpiece “The Story” and try to tell me I’m wrong. She’s seventy-one years old, she’s nailing those high notes, and she remains
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVh179oXFao Good morning! Keep the bugs off your glass and the bears off your– you know what, just leave your C.B. handle in the comments. My family had a C.B. radio in our 1984 Ford Econoline custom conversion van and I tell y’all what, we thought we were L-I-V-I-N (our handle was Swamp Hog.) Georgia’s school
Good morning! If you live in CD-6, today’s the first day for early voting. American military veterans use the words of Sophocles to find catharsis. U.S. Coast Guard Station Tybee will finally get federal funding for repairs damage caused by Hurricane Matthew. “Narrowcast” the CD-6 race, or, how much Trump would a woodchuck Trump if a woodchuck would chuck Trump? It’s
