10,488 Hour Plan Off to Rocky Start
August 29th, 2007 · 20 Comments
Methinks Rick Goddard should invest in a new Magic 8 ball, preferably one that gives out more answers than just “Go For It!” 437 days (10,488 hours) or so out from his 2008 matchup with Rep. Jim Marshall (D - 8th), Goddard should be backing away from his moronic criticism of Marshall’s fact finding [...]

August 28th, 2007 · 11 Comments

In what surely must be the shortest political press release ever written (and released), Democratic Party of Georgia Chairwoman Jane Kidd had this to say today about the Alberto Gonzales resignation: “It’s about time.”
