Atlanta is about to go broke. With the supreme court ruling and the new gun law in GA going into effect on July 1 legalizing guns on government property you would think someone at the City would get a clue. Instead the airport manager, Ben DeCosta, says he will have anyone arrested who brings a gun to the airport regardless of what the law says. To top it all of the former cop and State Representative Bearden who wrote the new law says he’s going to wear his gun to the Airport on July 1 and will sue the city if they arrest him.
Airport General Manager Ben DeCosta said if Bearden shows up at the world’s busiest airport with a gun, he’ll be busted.
“I can identify him, and I’ll have him arrested,” DeCosta said Monday. “We’re not fooling around. This is a post-terrorism environment.”
Someone be sure to ask Bin Laden for his concealed weapons permit when he tries to get off the MARTA train. I am so damn tired of people waving the terrorism flag. You could have 9/11 every Tuesday for a whole year and lose around 150,000 people. We would drop a nuke on someone long before the numbers reach those levels. Do something to protect your interests’ people! Bullet proof vests are under $500 on eBay and $2 Million in term life insurance can be had for less than $50/mo. That’s the average income over a lifetime with a bachelor’s degree. What you do for your clan is more important than your life. We’re all going to be dead and then reincarnated anyway so why not make sure your family gets a pay out? Stop trading freedom for security! Stop letting the terrorists win! Why do Americans frighten so easily by cavemen with beards in Afghanistan? It must be those big round eyes you have that let you see the terrorists everywhere.

The brilliance of the Midwest never ceases to amaze me. A 14 year old Sumner County girl has been charged with sodomy after reporting to a counselor that she was raped. This is absolutely outrageous. So outrageous that Attorney Sean Shores is being the hero and defending the girl for free.
“She went to her counselor, she asked for help, reached out for help and the message they sent her was–she should have kept her mouth shut,” says Shores.
Shores is a hero and is a person that makes attorneys seem less evil.
Deputy Sumner County Attorney Evan Watson simply says, “I am not in a position to discuss the facts or issues involved in any pending juvenile offender cases.
Watson on the other hand sounds like an ass hat that doesn’t understand the difference between victim and suspect. His boss should probably know that he needs to go back to law school for some remedial training.

More news from who cares department. According to the rumor mill McCain strategist, Charlie Black, said that an attack on US soil would help McCain in the election. For some reason people find the truth offensive. Here’s a little truth for you. Police like crime. If there were no crime then they wouldn’t be getting new cars every year, fancy equipment, or promotions. If crime drops then you have layoffs on the police department. It is a simple fact of life that some people make money directly or indirectly off other people’s misfortune. The security and counter terrorism industry started booming after 9/11 and if you are a stock holder in one of those companies you know that as long as there’s fear and hype of another attack you will be making money.
There is no morality in the issue as it is merely the way the universe works. Therefore Charlie Black did not really say anything offensive or morally wrong. It’s a simple fact that Americans like payback and if we are attacked before the election we’ll be calling to drop nukes on the most likely suspect country. Though now that McCain’s campaign has openly said this, it is almost assured that there won’t be an attack. Having McCain as President would be the absolute last thing Osama Bin Laden would want. The terrorists will be quiet until after the election.

McCain has shown that he has to go begging to the religious right. He is now proposing tax breaks for masses of cells.
“My friends, life begins at conception and so do tax breaks,”
Well that’s what we need is to encourage more people to breed. Sorry, but this is rather scary when you think about it. Historically countries that have had high birth rates have gone to war. Germany (WWII) and Iraq (Gulf War I) are perfect examples of a high birth rate and aggression. But I guess you can’t have dead soldiers unless you can preserve those fetuses.
He seems to label Obama as a socialist, but this is nothing more than socialism in disguise. The problem with increasing the birth rate is you have more people than you have jobs. Why have 2.5 children if you can’t afford your mortgage? I predict that this is going to eventually lead to harder economic times 10 years from now.

Arizona Sen. John McCain refused to apologize yesterday for his use of a racial slur to condemn the North Vietnamese prison guards who tortured and held him captive during the war.
“I hate the gooks,” McCain said
Hats off to McCain. Hey, if it walks like a gook and quacks like a gook then it is a gook. He uses the slur, rightfully so, against North Vietnamese which is perfectly ok since they are not even human. That’s right. I said North Vietnamese are not even human. They sided with Russia and China against the United States and France (ok I can forgive them for the latter) during the Vietnam War. Is there any real reason we should say nice things about them? I mean they lived in underground tunnels in the middle of a jungle. How is that for advanced civilization?
“The use of a racist slur can’t be acceptable for any national leader, regardless of his background,” said Diane Chin, executive director of the San Francisco-based Chinese for Affirmative Action. “For someone running for president not to recognize the power of words is a problem.”
Diane Chin has proved that she is an absolute idiot. If you are the leader of the country with the most nuclear warheads you can say what you want, but nuclear warheads aside it is perfectly acceptable to use any vocabulary you choose. Why? Because of the first person point of view. The first person point of view is always valid over all others. If McCain wants to call them Gooks then that is perfectly valid. If I want to call them Gooks too that is perfectly valid. For someone to not recognize that their statements do not agree with John McCain or the mighty Quan Tran is a major problem.

New Jersey is not exactly the best place in the world, and the latest news from ABC shows that it has taken a step down hill. Congo, a German Shepherd, attacked an illegal immigrant in Princeton, NJ and has been ordered to be executed by a judge. A petition to Gov. Corzine to pardon the dog has gone unnoticed. An anonymous resident made this foolish statement,
“I would hate my hometown and home state to go down in history as the place where suburbanites value their dogs above their lives of those they hire to tend their yards,”
Who had their life endangered? I don’t see any papers identifying any US Citizen or authorized resident alien endangered by Congo. If you are an undocumented worker, then you don’t exist in any database and therefore should not be entitled to any inputs into our civil or criminal justice system. We need changes in legislation to allow us to identify individuals that have no rights to our government services and block them using ID Cards or other technologies. If you can’t produce an ID Card that proves you are a citizen or lawful resident alien, then the computer will not allow you to fill out any of the forms necessary to file a civil lawsuit. If the police scan your ID and it says you are not here legally, the computer will not let them file a report. I think technology can be the fix for many of our problems, if we use it correctly. If these electronic measures were in effect, then Congo would not be in this situation.

Obama inhaled and that was the point.
Mitt Romney on the other hand doesn’t get the point.
“I agree with the sentiment that nobody’s perfect and most of us, if not all of us, in our youthful years have engaged in various indiscretions we wouldn’t want to have paraded in the front of a newspaper,” the former Massachusetts governor said in New Hampshire. “On the other hand if we’re running for president, I think it’s important for us not to go into details about the weaknesses and our own failings as young people for the concern that we open kids thinking that it’s ok for them.”
I would have to disagree with Mr. Romney on his last point. Politicians are not perfect and should not try to portray themselves as perfect. I want to see weakness. I want to see failure. When you are human you are humble, which is something many politicians are not. The other issue is that Romney, like most Republicans, seems to have this attitude that everyone should be perfect. We don’t want kids thinking that it’s ok to be weak and have a failure in their lives now do we? Yes, God wants us to be perfect. If you believe he’s there you shouldn’t forget that we were made in his image, not as his exact duplicate. Romney should realize men are not gods, but maybe someone should give him a mirror that works before trying to explain it to him.

Here is another problem district with zero common sense. Megan Coulter was suspended for hugging classmates goodbye.
District Superintendent Sam McGowen said that he thinks the penalty is fair and that administrators in the school east of St. Louis were following policy in the student handbook.
It states: “Displays of affection should not occur on the school campus at any time. It is in poor taste, reflects poor judgment, and brings discredit to the school and to the persons involved.”
Saying goodbye in a manner that is customary to your social group is in poor taste, reflects poor judgement, and brings discredit to all involved. WTF? Dr. McGowen must be a boring and uncultured person. To believe that self expression is poor judgement indicates that he is trying to create a sterile environment at his school district. To also say that self-expression brings discredit to the school and to others involved is also a foolish statement. Zero tolerance equals zero credibility. It is impossible to discredit some entity that has no credibility, so I am not sure why he wasted the reporter’s time with that statement. It is obvious that in this word of political correctness at school districts that we have an over budget problem. Anyone who has taken an undergraduate intro to law class understands that the law is not fair and that due to limited police and judicial resources only the most serious offenders are pursued. I do not think we would want to live in a world where the police have unlimited resources since there are many silly laws on the books that date back hundreds of years that we would not want enforced. By the same token I believe that school officials have way too much money and free time to be pursuing silly issues such as hugging. What we need is a drive to cut school funding. If they have time to punish young people for being human and expressing themselves, then they are over funded and need to be brought back in line with other government agencies.
If you want to tell the school district how much you appreciate their stupidity providing you with entertainment then here is the contact information

At times you have to question the wisdom of President Bush in choosing his friends. The Russians are really showing that they are no longer our friends.
An American attack on Iran will be viewed by Moscow as an attack on Russia.
True friends always have your back no matter what you do. President Vladimir Putin has shown us that he does not have our backs. We should question why President Bush wants to be friends with Russia and alienate China. The Clinton administration was very friendly towards China and to this day we trade a great deal with China. I believe we benefit more through our economic relations with China rather than Russia. Why waste the time with Russia if their friendship is more trouble than it’s worth.

John Cornetta has generously offered the city of Johns Creek $3000 toward the purchase of a new firetruck. Unfortunately the mayor, Mike Bodker, has some strange political agenda up his sleeve and has refused the donation. For some reason Bodker feels the need to pilfer the pockets of the tax payers, rather than take free money when it is offered. Cornetta, a successful business owner, should be commended for his efforts to subsidize a firetruck for the city of Johns Creek since the mayor has not purchased one since the city was formed on December 1, 2006. Presently fire and police services are contracted to Fulton County. Some believe the mayor has snubbed Cornetta because of his business of operating adult video stores. Regardless of the political or moral implications, Mr. Cornetta has offered the tax payers of Johns Creek some savings on building their city. Any accountant will tell you that 1% savings is better than 0% and anything more than 1% is gravy. You don’t have to be an Asian rocket scientist to understand the numbers. I would hope that an old white guy like Bodker could understand 5th grade math, but apparently not. The mayor and the voters of Johns Creek need to realize that the only thing in play here are the numbers. Turning down free for a more expensive option never makes good economic sense.
