Best of luck!

Very sorry to hear this. Sometimes it seems like there is a dark cloud over everyone ever in any way connected to the band.

Kyle wins. Kurt, not so much. Kyle is a character much akin to the "bad guys" of wrestling. He may be a total @hole, but he makes the cash register sing.

BOB BARR MIGHT BE RUNNING!!!!

Pubby if everyone who received a federal grant could not run, the Democrats couldn't field a candidate.

Things can get pretty wild when you are not so much "for" one candidate, but "against" another candidate. I can list way more that I am against than I am for.
Bingo! Why is it that so many elected officials get into office and then tell us to drop our drawers? Is it really that hard to represent the wishes of the majority of your constituents? Paulette gets into office, keeps her mouth shut the entire session, votes in lockstep with the republican leadership, and then happily turns a third of her conservative district over to very liberal Democratic representation without so much as a whimper in order to garner favor not with her constituents, but with the powerful within her party. It's disgusting, and so typical as to go virtually unnoticed.

But Mark, a well educated, rational person such as Marvin Tingler who wants what is best for his City and all its residents poses a serious threat to TPTB that only exist to serve and promote the interests of a select few. Without that knowledge, he is dangerous, very dangerous to that group even working against them without knowing it, which will be a very good thing.
I'm personally tired of the Paulding County dynasty. Vote them out of office and God forbid block them for running for higher offices which I have strong suspicion at least one of them may persue in the very near future.
Yeah, somebody has their eye on a State Representative position, you can pretty much count on that. As for Tingler, I haven't met him. As for Boyd, I have met him and I am not overly impressed. Not in the least. I find the story here entirely plausible. But I don't live in Dallas, so my opinion of him is neither here nor there.

And we know that Mr. Austin himself made this alleged phone call, HOW? Because somebody alleges that they talked to him on the phone?
How do we know that Mr. Tingler's supervisor ( or somebody posing as such) isn't aiding and assisting his campaign by a little dirty tricks maneuver?
Using your best judgement, and the analytical skills learned over your lifetime while weighing the relative character and motivation of these men, which do you believe to be the most likely to be truthful? Which course of action would lead the most directly to a presumed benefit for the actor? Do you really think that the long time head of an engineering department at Georgia Tech would risk his reputation to assist an employee in becoming the mayor of a podunk town in Paulding County?
I have no doubt that Mr. Austin has been made aware of this accusation as well as the written statement from Mr. Tingler's supervisor, and were it not true, one would imagine that a falsely accused man would have made a statement to that effect by now.
Can anyone "prove" who made the call? Not totally, but there are some conclusions that are far more likely than others.

The problem with Carmike is that they have never found a way to make money in a business that should be a cash cow. Their headlong investment in RealD® Cinema is a prime example of their risk taking attitude that has seen a bankruptcy, and their stock drop from $28 to $1 since reemergence.

I'm sure that it had nothing to do with his being a radicalized Muslim. He was certainly wronged by the American government and we should apologize immediately for however we offended him.

Graves has a solid record that Shearin will find hard to beat.

We don't really know the facts in this case, but should there be some form of negligence assigned to someone that does not protect such a hazard from a child?
What about a child wondering too close to a viscous dog?
Protecting a pool seems like a good county ordinance or very high home owner's rates for someone that decides to not protect the property from unwanted guests.
I don't know the situation at this particular house, and I'm not speculating, but a pool needs to be protected.
Paulding is one of the few jurisdictions that does not require a fence around an above ground pool. If a pool has a 5 ft fence and locked gates, a child is far less likely to end up in this situation. A swimming pool is like candy to a two year old.

Oh my. Hoping for the best.

OMG! How could I forget Addams Family and The Munsters? Oh, and The Avengers...I wanted to BE Emma Peel

Gosh, as a kid maybe Roy Rogers, Sky King, and the Bob Cummings Show. Of course Ed Sullivan and Dobie Gillis. Later I guess it would be The Man from Uncle, The Twilight Zone, Rowan and Martin, The Smothers Brothers, Mash, and Happy Days.

I believe you are right.

Do you mean that Judge Beavers is granting them this?

God, I hope not.

I suspect that they have enough confidence to build there,,,, makes you go hmmmm maybe they are hoping yall will die from the stress if they stretch it out in the courts long enough.
Seems there was a lot of confidence in being able to get away with anything, you have to wonder where that confidence comes from.
There is no doubt in my mind (opinion, PGA) that this was the prevailing attitude with the last board particularly. We and others fought P&Z and The CC over a 1100 home PRD on 400 acres, 200 of which was unbuildable swamp. The PRD most likely violated state and Federal environmental law and at least the spirit if not the letter of the Counties own zoning regulations, but was allowed anyway (fortunately for us, the economy killed it, at least for now). A high ranking employee with P&Z, was summarily fired not long after answering my question about density honestly in a public meeting, an answer that resulted in a collective gasp, applause, and laughter from the audience. I do not know if the two were connected, but you do the math. The attitude 3 years ago was "anything goes".
BTW, if the BOC or P&Z wish to take the point up with me, they have my number. We have discussed this in the past, and my commissioner is well aware of my opinions on the subjects of low quality development, back scratching, and the appearance of collusion. I will voice my opinion openly, and if necessary, seek redress without fear of any government. That is my right under the constitution.
The courts have plainly spoken that the county leadership has conspired to take that right away from SurePip. That is NOT an opinion, that is a matter of public record.

You might want to be careful who you slam on a public forum for all to read.
????? It's a matter of public record.

Mrs. Ford was a very gracious lady, outwardly soft spoken but courageous and a true force of nature. She arguably did more for the recovery community than anyone since Bill. She will be missed.

MD, I am not being insultory, but you show ignorance with the above statement. CO2 is a byproduct of various animals breathing in oxygen, but it is indeed a pollutant when there is too much of it. This one has gone to court no less, and SCOTUS ruled it was a pollutant.
SCOTUS rules CO2 is a pollutant
Just because it is organic, and natural does not make it safe in any quantity. For many years we used it to asphxiate cull chicks.
Is it toxic ? No. But too much of it is not a good thing. And add to that the worldwide deforestation and defoliation of tropical rain forests and jungles, which did the majority of the photosynthises to convert CO2 back to carbon and oxygen, and the problem worsens.
No, No, No, a thousand times NO. The judge did NOT rule that CO2 was actually a pollutant. He ruled that CO2 fit the legal definition of a pollutant under the clean air act and that as such the EPA could regulate it. In fact the court commented that the legal definition of "air pollutant" under the CAA was quite capacious. He DID NOT, I repeat, he DID NOT rule on the voracity or the correctness of the law, and in fact, reviewed only law. He simply interpreted EPA's power and responsibility under the CAA from a legal standpoint. Judges do not decide questions of math and science, they decide questions of law.

Yeah, those AGW skeptics are so pro pollution and anti environment. Kill all the Bald Eagles, slash and burn, set every river on fire, choke every city, fill every swamp with garbage, you know that sort of thing. Why they are just plain stupid and uneducated. How can one be so ignorant. Either that or they are rich bastards living off of the sweat of the proletariat. I haven't made up my mind which yet. Maybe both. It's just a huge conspiracy between the stupid and the rich, yeah, that's the ticket. Oh wait, the rich are paying the stupid. No. The rich are stupid. No they are arrogant uncaring bastards who know better. Well at any rate, they are all rich or stupid, and they all hate the environment, that I know for sure.

It's so funny to watch Pubby and Pip continue to deform the opposing opinion into something they think they can argue against.
