So Gitmo is still open, The Patriot Act is still in force, FISA has been strengthened, "extraordinary rendition" is still in vogue, General Betray Us is back in charge of a war, and Bush is a Fascist. I see.

I think he got sober back in '97. I haven't heard of him falling off the wagon, although I don't really keep up.

Maybe God saw how ugly he made Keith, and granted him good health as his way of saying he's sorry.

I kinda surprised he qualified for a transplant. i wish him the best of luck.

Or get them to Rehab.

Good point Red. What do we know about Rodriguez?

Pubby, I'm sorry, but you don't fit anybody's definition of a Republican. Not even a Blue Dog Democrat.

pssssst.....The surge was McCrystal's idea, not Obama's. He had to convince Obama that it was the right thing to do over the objections of Biden and Clinton.

I'm sure they will make every possible attempt to minimize McCrystal's influence.

NcCrystal Replaced by Petraeus McCrystal will probably announce his retirement very shortly. He will then be able to freely speak his mind without fear of reprisal.

Just like that fascist right wing rag Rolling Stone.

Bottom line. Whether or not what McCrystal said is accurate (I believe it is) is of no real consequence. He publicly bucked the CIC and he will be punished. It was rule #1 for Military command. Say what you will in private, but never publicly disagree with the President. Most military commanders simply resign when they think the President is a class "A" idiot. BTW, it's not "illegal", just incredibly stupid.

It looks like they are using this year to catch up with the market, since prices have dropped faster than appraised value over the last three years. Unfortunately you are caught in the middle. Absolutely pay for three appraisals from three Appraisal Institute or National Association of Real Estate Appraisers affiliated appraisers, and insist upon the average as the minimum amount that you will take for your home. You should do this within 3 months of the settlement date. Many real estate firms can recommend a reliable individual with experience in South Paulding. Your tax appraisal is not

If you have a financial interest in the accident, ie: the accident destroyed some of your property, then you can go down to the sheriff's office and get a copy of the police report.

It really doesn't. I'm not sure why the larger drop this year over last, when the Case Shiller index for metro Atlanta showed a drop of only 1.8% annually as of this last March. Second Quarter numbers should be out soon, but it looks like they are perhaps making up for lost time here. This will be a huge blow to the 2011 budget.

Down 21%

What is sad is that this type of grandstanding completely ignores the fact that the victims here are named Nick Kirk and Michael Burdell. Forty Four posts in this thread and their names fail to appear even once. That's the shame of it. The Crime that got Gardner Sentenced to Death

Animal, I know a lot of folks, (maybe 15 or so) who are having to take furlough days, and to a person, they all prefer it to having anybody else lose their job. That doesn't mean that they like it, but they understand the hard times we all find ourselves in. I think that the BOC did a pretty good job with the budget this year, considering the mess that they were handed in 2008. As for Tommie, he isn't at all unintelligent or misinformed. He may not be the world's greatest speaker, but he has been one of the few voices of reason this last year when it comes to spending.

Thank you Whitey. I don't know the truth or not of these candidates attachment to the PCBA, but I do know that membership in this Professional Association does not necessarily grant one membership in the Good Ol' Boys Club that ran this county into the financial dirt in years past. Tommie Graham is evidence of that. There is a big difference between building a few houses and the "mega developers" and their bank buddies that bought and paid for the right to control zoning and taxes in this county under the last administration.

And now the truth comes out that the family has been filming a reality show, "Adventures in Sunderland" to pay the bills.

I worked outside around the house for about an hour this morning at 8. I came back in at 9 done for the day. Unfortunately my Wife put me to work cleaning the house. Well at least it beats 94 degrees and 80% humidity.

Thanks Whitey.

There is a legal definition of a "Reasonable Person" that defines them as "a hypothetical person who exercises qualities of attention, knowledge, intelligence, and judgment that society requires of its members for the protection of their own interest and the interests of others." This is not a question of normal exposure to every day danger, it's a question of a foolhardy adventure by a relatively inexperienced person in a manner contrary to customary safe practice. In other words, she and her parents arguably do not fit the legal definition of a "Reasonable Person". This type of sai

Heck, I only agree with myself 98% of the time.

I am not the least bit bothered by the heritage argument for institutions and groups like Historically Black Colleges and the UNCF. As disgusting as they may be, I also support the right of organizations such as the Black Panthers and the KKK to exist and freely express their separatist poison. I believe that all people have the right to free association and to spend their own money helping out specific segments of the population if they so choose. They also have the right to celebrate their heritage and uniqueness as long as they do not do so in such a manner that takes those same rights a
