Sam Olens isn’t the only character up there.
A metro Atlanta county commissioner says reports that she may have hired a voodoo priestess to get even with a political rival - and bounced checks in the process - are “ridiculous.”Cobb County Police said George Ann Mills told them that she is a high priestess in Blythewood, S.C., and Cobb Commissioner Annette Kesting wrote her $3,000 in bad checks.
A Sept. 26 police report says Mills claimed the commissioner wanted Woody Thompson, who defeated Kesting in an Aug. 5 Democratic primary runoff, to “catch cancer” or to “have a car accident.”
Of course Sam just wants to do voodoo at the gas pump.

Hey! Don’t forget about ME! I’m a character in Cobb County too!

can we hire the voodoo high priestess to give saxby a dose of conservativitis?
Doug Deal 10.07.08 at 6:29 pm
Bill,
How do you do the voodoo you do so well?
Game Fan 10.07.08 at 7:10 pm
The voodoo spell is canceled if you write bad checks. At least that’s what I would do. (If I were a high voodoo priestess)
Icarus 10.07.08 at 7:13 pm
No, No, No,
The voodoo spell applies ten-fold to the check bouncer.
Doug Deal 10.07.08 at 7:30 pm
Icarus,
I think the voodoo spell of “catching cancer” or “having a car accident” turns into “getting charge with deposit account fraud” voodoo.
Icarus 10.07.08 at 7:33 pm
No, once the Cobb’s Sheriff’s Department is involved, it moves from voodoo to “opening a big ole can of whoopass”.
Doug Deal 10.07.08 at 7:44 pm
Wouldn’t it be the South Carolina equivalent of a “Sheriff’s” office?
Anyway, in the article it said:
But, under Georgia law, there is nothing she can do. Since funds were received for the first check, the first one goes away. In the second case, it was a post-dated check which means it was actually an extension of credit since it was not a check for funds to be available immediately.
So, I proclaim her guilty of not having broken the law. Icarus, please release the defendant and this court is adjourned.
Icarus 10.07.08 at 7:59 pm
If the sheriff doesn’t take over, the 10X reverse spell holds.

How can we have a thread about crazy Cobb characters without GOPeach?
Icarus 10.07.08 at 8:28 pm
Where has Peaches been? Was she kicked off again and I missed it?

Voodoo High Priestess?..Jesus Christ..what is the difference?????? really? It’s been over 2000 years if you’ve read Greek, Egyptian, Roman, Zoroastrianism, Islam there’s no difference…and don’t even get me started on the so-called “eastern religions”
Game Fan 10.08.08 at 7:37 am
I’m not sure about the designation. Could mean “high priced” voodoo priestess, or “high in the SC Mountains” voodoo priestess, or “high” like in “Ganga” voodoo priestess, but probably means she’s performed lots of spells on un-suspecting victims. And since they can’t agree on what causes cancer maybe they should tackle the voodoo connection before imposing national healthcare on everybody.
Doug Deal 10.08.08 at 7:40 am
if she did indeed contract with this voodoo priestest to give this woman cancer, isn’t that conspiracy to commit murder or at least assault?
If two people sat around planning how to cause another mortal harm, it would seem that they would qualify for prosecution. If nothing else, they can get the woman to testify that voodoo is a bunch of malarky she uses to defraud her customers.
GOP Girl 10.08.08 at 5:34 pm
And Sheppie. Where is Sheppie??
Icarus 10.08.08 at 5:44 pm
Sheppie is having an identity crisis, but that doesn’t make it O.K. to call him an “it” as I understand it.
Game Fan 10.08.08 at 5:48 pm
Ben Crystal is the GOP Girl?
GOP Girl 10.09.08 at 6:18 am
errrr….NO!
Sheppie and Farris and RamblinWreck and a few others here can vouch for that one…..
And why does it matter???
Game Fan 10.09.08 at 8:18 am
It would be an issue with some people.

I’m here, I’m just hiding from the voodoo! Shhh.
Bill Simon 10.09.08 at 11:25 am
Cobb Needs,
I think I saw a voodoo doll that looks just like you at a store in Town Centre Mall…
Cobb Needs a Front Page Poster 10.09.08 at 11:28 am
If it looks like me, I’m suprised there are any left. Of course if it looked like you Bill, we can probably bet they’d be out and on back order!!
Bill Simon 10.09.08 at 11:34 am
Heyy…..a new business idea gets hatched…
GOP Girl 10.09.08 at 12:51 pm
All of Shep’s voodoo dolls are sold in Missouri.
Cobb Needs a Front Page Poster 10.09.08 at 1:08 pm
Why? Everyone in Missouri LOVES me!
I’m only hated in Maryland, Indiana, Alabama, most of Florida, parts of Pennsylvania, Kansas, Louisiana, parts of North Carolina, some areas of Boston, large sections of Fulton County and some of Savannah.
But not Missouri!
Cobb Needs a Front Page Poster 10.09.08 at 1:08 pm
Bill, I want in for 15%.
Icarus 10.09.08 at 1:10 pm

Don’t give up. You’re young. There’s still time for everywhere else.
Cobb Needs a Front Page Poster 10.09.08 at 1:13 pm
now you know why I want to be a front page poster.
Icarus 10.09.08 at 1:18 pm
I thought it was because our company retreats make AIG look like the Union Mission.
Game Fan 10.09.08 at 2:01 pm
They can’t get me with voodoo. They don’t even know who I am. AAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA
I’m Game Fan. YEAH!
