What took Sen. Rogers so long?
Which Chip Rogers do we believe?
This one?
Or the one that voted FOR the legislation, TWICE?
I’m telling you Rambler, call Paradise Casino TODAY. Winner Will said its the best. He’s obviously got insider information that T-SPLOST is going to lose in his region. Its his play of the year.
Rambler1414, we are to believe the Chip Rogers who is thinking about primarying Deal in 2014.
Wind shift….a personal guarantee of telling ‘em what they want to hear….
……at least the hot air winds are blowing in the right direction !
How did I manage to get in here and modify your post, salty???–Calypso
Been back in the islands lately writing political calypso songs and, obviously, studying voodoo ?…..too weird….
I won’t be an ass and do anything weird, but I can modify and delete any of your posts. I’ll let Charlie know something funky is going on.—-Calypso
A sales tax holiday is on the way. Our politicians are going to throw the unwashed and unclean a bone for the day. They would not want to save time, money and retail price adjusting with a consistent rate or exempting some need category.
The promo ad should picture a limo (sponsor signs included) with legislators throwing coins to beggar children running along side smiling and screaming.
YO, Chipper Jones!
Loved the interview with him at the beginning of tonight’s All-Star game – he reminds us of why we still love baseball.
