David Perdue: A Democrat in Conservative Clothing

Bill Simon, Monday, June 30th, 2014

Sometimes, I can analyze and interpret facts, situations, and people as clearly as they are presented. Sometimes, though, it takes my brain a really long time to synthesize all the info and figure out what is wrong with a situation, or a person. Perhaps, maybe in the nick of time, I have finally figured-out what […]

In case you missed the broadcast on WSB-TV last evening regarding the Braves’ stadium financing issue, here is a link to that broadcast: Curveball thrown on the Braves’ financing issue.

Georgia State Senate Sez: “We LOVE to violate the Ga Constitution, and rape and pillage the taxpayers.”

Bill Simon, Sunday, December 8th, 2013

There’s a little bitty story in this week’s edition of the Atlanta Business Chronicle that caught my eye. For the 2nd legislative session in a row (the first being in 2012), there was an attempt to pass a bill and fund a taxpayer-seeded “venture capital fund.” I recall arguing against this in 2012, but thanks […]

PV, Monday, September 2nd, 2013

***** UPDATE #2 ON UGA PLAYER FAKING INJURY ******* Well, the only thing we have to say about this story in the AJC where Coach Mark Richt spins the “groin injury” bullshit is that he is demonstrating that he thinks he can lie and people (and God) will believe him. In the “Comments” section below […]
