Apologies [ September 8, 2010 – 6:14 pm] by Jeff Posted in General

We’ll get back to a semi-regular posting schedule in a couple of weeks, but for now I am tied up with my own election and am honestly too busy campaigning to keep up to date here. The election will be on Sept 21, and we’ll get back to posting at least a few times a week after that point.

In the mean time, enjoy Chuck Donovan’s latest youtube/TV commercial – and if you really enjoy it, feel free to drop over to his campaign site and drop some coin to help put it on every TV in Georgia!

It looks like it is time to pick up the fight again folks, and October 6 could be too late. To take the field, a general once said, “Get there first with the most.”

Thinking outside the box[ September 23, 2009 – 5:32 am]by Tom Posted in » Local

I’m a big fan of thinking outside the box. Conventional ideas on boosting the local economy not only bore me, but are just really unconvincing to me for the most part. The only type of conventional wisdom that I agree with is the need for manufacturing jobs, and those are hard to get. They’re not impossible, Honda just opened a factory here in Georgia for example, but they’re difficult.

So maybe the secret is to look outside the box. The purpose of this post is to see what the great minds who read the blog think, but I’ve got one idea all on my own. Read More …
