Friday Free-For-All
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. It is Friday. It is the free-for-all. Pick a topic. Discuss.
At Tuesday’s elections for school board, Clayton County had a 21% turnout rate. Where are all the people calling for the liquidation of the current school board? 1 in 5 bother to vote? And don’t pull this “I had to work” crap. The polls open at 7 and close at 7. Unless you are a cop or a fireman, it is highly unlikely you were working. It is more likely you were on your ass eating bon-bons watching Oprah.
Speaking of sitting on your ass, America is fat. 1 in 4 are considered obese. Ya think? People in Mississippi are the fattest. I told Missus we should move to the French countryside. We’d be stick figures within a month.
Starbucks is closing stores including one near me in Vinings. In my opinion, the company should be fined for the land disruption. They are positioned on a corner which cannot support any other company so it will sit empty and become an eyesore. (We can ALWAYS use another nail salon!) Oh, and did I mention it opened in freaking December?
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse. Hello pot, meet kettle.
Mr. Hypocrite Gore says the US should not be using fossil fuels by 2018. OK. Thanks Al. Give me an option I can afford and I’ll use it. Now, please go back to your 14,000 sq. ft. mansion and burn enough power in a year to power 2000 homes.
The third doping accusation has hit the Tour de France. And this one booted a name people were saying would be in the final push. What a shame. And what a let down to the team. This guy will be suspended for a minimum of four years. Should be forever.
GDOT demotes the treasurer to “assistant” treasurer. Why can’t we just fire people anymore? This is the guy who doctored the books for 30 years and got the department in the trouble it is now. Fire his ass and move on! Can he be arrested for fraud?
Missus and I set a date. Spring 2009. Soon to be gone: days sitting in my underwear, dancing uncontrollably to music, singing, dishes in the sink more than one day, and a queen bed to myself. But these things can be cut loose. I am gaining something much more important – a friend.

The Clayton voters didn’t show because they’re all in the process of moving to Henry. The bigger comment to be made there is that those who did vote DIDN’T evict the ego maniac calling himself sheriff. Do these folks actually enjoy being the laughing stock of Metro Atlanta? Lets see…… a failed school system, a chairman and sheriff that can’t get along, and a retail corridor in complete meltdown. If it weren’t for the tax revenue that county received from Hartsfield-Jackson they’d be bankrupt.
