They say it's not what you know, but who you know.

So, I'm putting what I know out there, and hoping that someone out there who I know can help.

I'm looking for a job upgrade. Better salary, hopefully better commute, and a change of pace from where I've been the past 5 years.

My resume is here.

Brilliant comment heard from Boortz on the radio today. Paraphrased due to the fact that I was working when I heard it.

Just got back from a weekend with my bride-to-be in Orlando.

Now, the candidates to replace Mark Taylor as Lt. Governor:

Just some notes on who's running for what in the Georgia primaries next Tuesday, to help my own decision-making. If any other Georgia dotters out there have any insight, please, speak up.

So, what I've got here is first impressions from their web sites, and what I know about each of them.

Saw it yesterday afternoon.

I think Scott Kurtz sums it up best.

So, the city manager was arrested for DUI and possession of an open container of alcohol in a vehicle. His open container was a glass of wine, and the vehicle was a golf cart.

So, just the other morning, I was listening to this discussion of creation vs. evolution on the radio, and the question that came up over and over of the exact age of this ball of dirt we're living on.

Some people insist that the world is billions of years old. Others are adamant that it's only a few hundred thousand.

Here's my thought:

Can't make this stuff up....
This caught my eye from the latest News of the Weird:

"The May 10 tornado that hit Highland County, Ohio, touched down in the town of Hillsboro, along Wizard of Oz Drive."

Who'd a-thunk?

...that under the immigration bill that the House just rejected from the Senate, that illegal immigrants would have been allowed to pay just 3 out of 5 years of back taxes. And it's up to the illegal immigrant to pick and choose which 3 years. Consider, also, that these are 3 years of work that's not in any corporate records, not in any tax records, and if they happen to "fudge" a bit (gee, fudging on taxes, here in America?)

The issue of the day: Gay marriage.

On the one side, we've got those who want a Constitutional amendment on the matter. The Federal Marriage Amendment. I'm personally quite glad it failed. Marriage has almost always been and should remain a matter of state law. I've got a long list of state and local issues that should never have entered the federal arena, and I don't care to make it any longer. The fact that it was even brought up in Congress was nothing but political showboating and p

Finally, I've received an answer to The Letter!

This from Georgia's governor Sonny Perdue:

Dear Mr. Dolan:
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me about the role of government in our lives. The freedom of which you speak is a precious gift, and it is the duty of those in public office to protect the freedoms of all citizens.

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

3. Africans drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

4. Italians drink large amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

Words are fascinating, aren't they?

Take Fascism, for example. Most folks associate this word with Hitler and Nazis, and these days, it's all too often used as an emotional attack against the President by hyperventalating leftists who wouldn't know real Fascism if it bit 'em.
