I have, from time to time, lightly cajoled various front page posters from Bull Moose to Demonbeck to SpaceyG to spend their time focusing on Georgia politics or national politics that have a substantive Georgia angle.
If Obama is coming to Georgia, perfect coverage. If Obama is offering up a text message for his vice-presidential nominee, no. If McCain is telling Saxby Chambliss McCain thinks him the idiot a lot of the base today now thinks Saxby is, okay. If McCain is saying the same about Lindsey Graham, not okay.
We all cover other stuff from time to time, but the purpose remains that this site is about Georgia news. We try to keep a balance of Democrats and Republicans on the front page. Frankly, I continue to think we need more balance and we also need to strive to be more objective, as opposed to championing a party line. Usually, we do a good job at all that, but sometimes we need work.
In any event, after again requesting that Spacey tone down the non-Georgia coverage on the front page, she informed me that I’d have to kick her off the front page entirely if I wanted her to stop and, likewise, I could trust that she’d make a big show of it.
Well, there you have it. Unleash the show.
I guess it’s the Reaganite in me, but I’m not going to negotiate to threats about making a big show of it.

Spacey added a flair to PP and will be missed.
This being said, losing it and posting vulgarities is decidedly lacking flair or class.
Yeah, Erick was, and is, a GOP shill, but seeing the electorate hand his bunch of neocon cronies their hats in 2006 was a lot of fun, with more to come in November.
BTW, Erick, that ‘Obama’ T-shirt over at Red-State spoke VOLUMES about how stuck you are in circa-2000 GOP politics…..you know, the way we were before we found out how rotten to the core y’all are/were/ always will be….
I’d have rather seen the site de-trolled a bit; BoyReporter banned completely. Spacey could occasionally cause me to chuckle a bit. It’s good to have an opinion that is 180 degrees from the majority. There are a couple of them here and even one or three that can argue intelligently and follow the boss man’s rules. It IS his site ya know. Damn socialists think they should be a part owner in everything.
Any way, don’t let the door hit ya…
Tinker, that hurt my feelings.
You have “feelings?”
I nominate IndyInjun for front page posting rights.
At least he focuses on Georgia politics. Oh, and he happens to be right most of the time.
Bill,
Wasn’t Savannah Georgia’s first city and state capitol?
I think it was the colonial capital.
What others are saying about “the show”:

Bill Simon: You have feelers.
sav’h was the capital until around 1785–and for a time the state ledge rotated betwen augusta and sav’h for whatever reason–as to whether she was a “state capital” i guess depends on what your definition of a state is as ga was admitted to the union in 1788–by ratifying the constitution–but of course a a nation our independence had been declared 12 years earlier…assuming grayson is willing to apologize for the worst of her post banning outburst–i for one wouldn’t mind seeing her allowed to post again…
Much like the Olympics are being used to hide the attack on Georgia, this is all a smokescreen to divert your attention from the TMC killing another thread of dreams.
boyreporter
I have at times seen you debate issues representing your views with valid points. Why is it you would rather engage in mud slinging than debate issues?
Oh dear. I’m sorry things didn’t work out for Grayson here, and I hope the newest poster has an easier go of it. Will y’all be adding more Dems to the front page? Johnathan McGinty would be a great choice.
I agree that Indy would be an intriguing choice for a front page poster. He clearly has a unique perspective that the major parties don’t fit.
I also support INDY!
And then, there was this:

(I’m not claiming to be the first to find it, but I’ll reserve the hat tip until the proper party claims it)
That’s some “the show” Icarus. I wonder if it will ever last long enough to make syndication.
When Spacey calls forth a firestorm, the devastation is utterly devastating. I hope Erick is ok.
I’m sure it can last a long, long time.
Especially if this thread dares to dream…
The TMC has kill all your dreams. Comments for this post will be closed on 10 October 2008.
Well, the TMC has done what my therapist has been trying to do since some early childhood “episodes”. Where should I start sending her checks?
Chris,
It just means that the team just needs to dream harder and faster, instead of longer.
For the children.
*buys icarus 10,000 new marbles*
Thank you sir, may I have another (10,000)?
9,999 bottles of beer on the wall, 9,999 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 9,998 bottles of beer on the wall.
Beer and children are you taking over for Rugby?
John,
* buuuurrrrpppp! *
What was the question?
Is Rugby at your house drinking beer?
“Yeah, looming, universal political and media issues out there for discussion just don’t stand a chance in the context of what’s going on in the men’s bathroom of the Macon council chambers.”
The bathroom facility nearest council chambers, at least as far as I can tell, are unisex – FWIW.
Okay … I start as a female asking for a chance.
Next ….. I must be a FEE male.
I may have to start my own blog and invite all the lady bloggers ” Pundit Pajama Party” or “Still Magnolias” or “Party Girls” or “In Cider”
work with me … I’m brainstorming….
Then all you
GOPeach would shake it up!
John, Peach would produce about as much of a shake up as a fly landing on the Empire State Building. Besides, it would do no good for our children.
Thanks John! You have an open mind. I like that in a man. It shows security and strength!
Shut up Sheppy – You do not have any children – unless you are counting Bill. He is the one you protect , defend, and nurture as if you were the “baby mama”.
Shows how much you know Peachy. I have two children…Oliver and Lucy. Bill’s just my crazy uncle.
Ooooh I get it … just like Obama and Rev. Wright!
Oliver and Lucy ??? How many legs do they have?
No, not like Obama and Wright…more like McCain and Lieberman.
As for the kids, 4 each.
Besides, you as well as anyone can read from the context that “our children” is meant in a broad context, not just my wife and I.
By the way Peachy, still haven’t heard of any contributions coming into the Cobb YR bank account. Still all talk, huh?
Erick,
I know I’m late on this, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I couldn’t stand that condescending feminazi.
Spanking builds character. Maybe Spacey will gain some after this experience.
