Vents In The AJC You May Have Missed Reading This Week..."The NASCAR fan who says he's an anomaly because he's voting for Kerry is an anomaly because he knows the word "anomaly."
"Isn't it great that McCain-Feingold took the money out of politics?"
"I was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store and asked the stock boy if they got any bigger. The kid replied, 'No sir, they're all dead.'"
"Us South Georgia hicks just sit around and spit, we don't need no roads to git us to the doctor (45 miles) or the dentist (52 miles) or the mall (65 miles). Give those ol' road-buildin' dollars to pore ol' Atlanta. Yee-haw!"
"It's amazing that some people want a Kerry/Edwards yard sign so badly that they go steal one."
"I don't understand women. They use hot boiling wax on their bodies, but they're afraid of a spider?"
"My wife told me that it's in the Bible that men should make the coffee in the morning. She said it's in the book about the 'Hebrews.'"
"Is chocolate a vegetable? It's made from beans."
"Personally I thought that the little *dance* move Ashlee did before realizing it was the wrong song was scarier."

Denise Majette: Too Stupid For GeorgiaHave you seen the new TV attack ad from
Denise Majette? Majette has now gone beyond just plain insulting.
Her ad opens-up with accusations of her opponent,
Johnny Isakson, taking advantage of a deal that
Georgia Power offered the public back in the 1980s. Isakson, along with
thousands of other people took advantage of a cheap land lease deal offered by Georgia Power for land along the shores of Lake Burton, Lake Seed, and Lake Rabun.
Isaskon made lease payments of about $40,000 per year for a 0.7 slice of an acre, and built a house for about $200,000. He later sold the property for $800,000. All activities were quite legitimate, as even the
Georgia State Ethics Commission's (remember, they were ALL Democrats back then) investigation into the practice in the 1990s and found no wrongdoing by either the company or the public officials who took the deal offered.
Majette appears in the ad admonishing Isakson for making the profit AND being supportive of rate increases asked for by Georgia Power. She displays pictures of newspaper articles with headlines like "PSC Reviews Rate Increase" and "PSC Challenges Power Company..." (or, something like this).
What makes this ad so wrong? The fact that Majette's campaign is
CLUELESS about the fact that things like, say, rate hikes by state utilities are not governed by Congress, but by the
Georgia Public Service Commission. Duhhhhhhhhh...
In an AJC article published on Tuesday, October 26,
Rick Dent, Majette's political (cough! cough!) "consultant" had this to say:
"What [Isakson] did is wrong on every level...It was wrong for him to accept lakefront property from Georgia Power. It was wrong for him to keep it when the public found out about it. It was wrong for him to vote on any issue dealing with Georgia Power after he took it. And it is absolutely wrong for him to sell it and pocket the $800,000."PV Has A Question For Rick Dent: Why? Why is it wrong? Is it wrong to buy property and sell it for a profit? Is that what bugs you? Where's your head, Rick? Stuck in the sand or stuck-up your own rear-end? Boy-oh-boy...we sure hope
Mark Taylor is stupid enough to hire Dent as HIS consultant for his gubernatorial campaign. Talk about two peas in a pod.
Anyway, the mindless drivel from Majette about Isakson's legitimate profit (Hey, Rick? Real estate in this state
appreciates in value over time...ever heard of that concept?) is nothing compared to the fact that Majette is too stupid not to know that the jurisdiction of utility rate hikes is governed by the Public Service Commission, not the U.S. Congress. For this ad, Majette is first in line for our annual "Awards Issue" for the stupidest campaign claim.

Those Dastardly Activist Judges...Well, this just sucks. Now that five of those dastardly "activist" judges on the Georgia Supreme Court have ruled to
affirm the lower court's ruling on the infamous "Gay Marriage" Amendment remaining on the ballot, what will whiners like
Senator Mike Crotts, Sadie Fields, and Phil Kent whine about now?
Phil was all set to spend 15 minutes on this week's upcoming edition of the Georgia Gang whining about "activist judges" and now they've knocked the chair legs out from under him.
Mike Crotts was prepared to launch another press conference whereby he foamed-at-the-mouth over anyone daring to challenge the legality of the amendment question he feverishly worked so hard to pass.
And now Fields won't be able to generate that fundraising effort she had planned whereby she sent out a letter claiming the Court was "anti-Christian" and the Coalition must raise funds to impeach all of them! Well, we're sure Fields will make-up something so that her organization will once again appear to be the poor, defenseless victim in the world.
But, in other news from the Georgia Supreme Court this week, the Court overturned
Senator Vincent Fort's hate-crimes legislation, calling it "too vague."
Whoa, Nelly! Are there snowballs in Hades? The Georgia Supreme Court appears to be interpreting the law the way the conservatives have wished them to do. Have the judges been taken-out on hunting trips with conservatives? What could be the explanation for these interpretations?
Could it possibly be that, instead of being "liberal" interpreters of Georgia law as people like Crotts, Fields, and Kent accuse them of being when they don't rule in their favor, these judges are
actually neutral judges with no bias and
interpret the law without bias to any political or religious ideology???Gee...could be...
