Hilarious

April 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Wish I could have been here.
“I don’t believe name-calling in any fashion has a place,” Perdue said as Richardson and Cagle stood awkwardly on opposite sides of him, acting as if they’d rather be almost anywhere else.
“It has a certain disrespectful tone. Even when we disagree passionately over issues, we can certainly respect one another […]

According toJasonPye.com:

I don’t think he cares

April 3rd, 2008 · 7 Comments

House leaders are blaming Casey Cagle for thwarting tax relief.
Last I checked, he isn’t up for re-election until 2010 and the House guys are up, well, this year.
I don’t think Cagle much cares about the House throwing blame at him.

Must Read of the Day

March 17th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Is this one. Casey Cagle has really put himself in a difficult position on the tax issue. We’ll see what his plan is.
But let me tell you this — I just don’t buy the idea that he’s going to run for Governor in 2010. I really don’t. That’s not to say […]

And Lite Gov. Weighs In

March 13th, 2008 · 11 Comments

I think Casey and Sonny are tag-teaming on the Glenn GREAT Plan.
From his office comes this statement:
“The House has passed a plan that needlessly delays tax relief for over a year, and doesn’t provide the full amount of relief for two years. Georgia workers are at risk of losing their jobs right now due […]

No money for tax cuts it would seem.

Presense with a Purpose

February 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Sad:
The $30,000 in remaining assets of the organization have been frozen since November. Cagle and the charity’s founder, Katherine Conn, are locked in a he-said, she-said battle over who owns the name of the charity, Presence With A Purpose, amid allegations of mismanagement.
Cagle’s staff members said overhead for the organization was nearly 90 percent […]

And let’s not forget Raybon Anderson.

January 31st, 2008 · 1 Comment

I can’t find Tom Barton’s column online, but here’s an excerpt:
One of those votes [for Abraham] came from Raybon Anderson. …
Richardson was steamed. But he’s the kind of loser (sore) who doesn’t just get mad. He tries to get even.
He told the Atlanta Press Club this month that Anderson and DOT board chairman Mike Evans, […]

Sonny, Casey, and Glenn are heading on the road together. This has all the makings of a sequel to Boys on the Side.
[UPDATE:] I hear Casey is trying to get his own plane. Hahahaha. We can laugh though, but considering the chain of constitutional succession, he and Sonny should, in fact, […]
