Thinking Right

Good morning, Jim,

OK, my friend, I have taken on today’s “Thinking Right” item by item. I still think you ought to hire me!

Wesleyan College President Ruth Knox…does it strike you that really creative approaches to “education reform” come from women educational leaders? I can’t see her male counterparts around the state taking her stand.

I am all for depriving illegals of the in-state college tuition breaks. If these folks become educated and competently trained, who is going to do all the yard work, menial construction tasks, baby-sitting, ironing, and (at least in my little town) taxi driving!

Bob Barr…age brings about increased intelligence in most of us.

$300,000 for a Grady consultant…I’ll do it for $150,000 and drive my own car…even in Atlanta traffic.

Jeb Bush…perhaps the best President we never had!

Pork-barrel politics…the Beltline Transit Project…both, probably need generous helpings of “fresh spinach” from California or “green onions” from Taco Bell!

How to increase the size of the Army…set-up induction centers along the southern border of the U.S.!

New Savannah Police Chief Michael Berkow must have never heard the old southern adage: “Don’t get your honey, where you get your money!”

Change the name of McKinney Drive…NEVER! We haven’t changed the name of New Orleans, have we? Both were disasters.

Developing a taste for fruitcake, Jim? Me, too, if it is soaked in enough whiskey!

Lard or Trans fat…cyanide or arsenic?

As for Falcon coach Jim Mora, he joins quite a number of distinguished members of the “foot in mouth” club.

A “civil rights” museum, yes…another Carter Center, no!

“Clayton teacher ties 5 boys to her belt loop during field trip” to the Atlanta History Center…Hell, we’re demanding that teachers “engage” their students all the time. What better way to connect!

Gwinnett Sheriff and the camouflage armored personnel carrier…hope it is not too big a target!

I will be doing some traveling this weekend and may not get a chance to make the usual nuisance out of myself. If I do not get back online until after the day, Merry Christmas to Jim, jbmlaw, and all our fellow bloggers.

Jim, “here to there” congestion is more than getting far-flung suburbanites to their office jobs inside the Perimeter. The Belt Line will allow intown residents to get (directly) to shops and parks and (indirectly via MARTA rail connections) to jobs in downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, the airport and many other destinations without a car. Those of you who choose to slog through 30 mile long commutes should appreciate having all those two-mile long intown “here to there” trips removed from the streets and highways. Just because you won’t use a service doesn’t mean it won’t benefit you.

Morning all. Philosopher, you’re on a roll. The nourishment to the mind provided by a seasonal diet of turkey, dressing, bourbon balls and fruitcake have achieved the desired result — assuming no pounds come with it.

Planner, one problem with the Beltline is that before the density is created to make the project successful, it — the density — will collapse other infrastructure, the roads in particular and maybe the sewer system, too. Unless, of course, those who come are denied the right to bring cars. And they must agree, too, to live, work and play on the beltline, or else it does little or nothing to relieve traffic congestion.

Dang it, midsouth, if you’re just going to agree with Wooten, then confine your comments to smooch, ditto, or ball tickle. I dont write the rules, so dont flame me for it, pal.

Wooten did something amazing: he purposely made the material a dry as a bone as a challenge to see who might create something out of it. He even threw in fruitcake, but used the reverse psychology ambush punchline. A fiendish maneuver, and of course, way over the dented heads who populate this top ten blog.

Cynthia McKinney is too easy, so that’s the one you leave alone. Jeb Bush? Great topic, if this were the Civil War. (4 chads and seven members of the supreme court ago).

I’m glad Jim told us about Ruth Knox. She’s a class act. I wish more leaders would follow her example.

With regard to Grady, Jim is also right that more money will never be enough. I know a person who sells medical supplies, and he brags that his average markup is approximately 1000 percent. I believe him. Medical suppliers are squeezing hospitals on one end, and health insurers are squeezing them on the other. While both make out like bandits, it’s difficult for any hospital to make a profit, and for those that specialize in indigent care, breaking even is nearly impossible.

I’m for giving Jim Mora a break too. He was joking with an old college friend, showing affection for his friends and alma mater, and that’s it. I thought his comments were benign, and I’m disappointed with all the press they got.

On Cynthia McKinney, that section of road is used primarily by her former constituents, including many current supporters. Also, like her or not, she served in Congress. I know that the idea to rename the road is intended to slight McKinney, but it’s actually an insult to her former constituents. They don’t deserve that. Representative Walker should leave the street name alone.

With regard to the civil rights museum, we can never have too much discussion about human rights. Since the civil rights struggle was a human rights struggle, I can’t think of a more fitting venue for such forums.

Show me a bus, and I’ll show you a traffic jam.

We were lied to back when MARTA started. I was here when all the boosters were promising that the system would solve all our transportation problems. What we got instead was subsidized transportation for intown residents. It is still that way, and it will be that way if or when the Beltline gets built. I could live to 130 and there still wouldn’t be a train station in Roswell or Alpharetta. Most of us outside the perimeter are merely the suckers who are expected to help fund intown residents’ transportation.

Get the government out of the “rapid transit” business. While intown residents are whizzing to various points, the rest of us are dealing with completely inadequate road systems—while the intown people are reciting their litany of “building more roads just creates more traffic.” I suppose that if I had my transportation needs catered to on somebody else’s dime, I’d be reciting it too.

Dude, you have really got your head in the sand when it comes to commuting.

My girlfriend and I live in Piedmont Heights and she works in the Highlands. Traffic on Monroe, Piedmont, Highland and Ponce between 5 and 7 pm is just crasy - crazeeee. If we could walk down our street and jump a trolley to the highlands or little five or lindbergh do you think we’d do it.

HECK YES. It’d be great. I’d never have to drive, ever.

And get this…busses don’t always work. Why? Because they have to sit in that horrible traffic on those crappy roads just like everyone else. The advantage of fixed rail is that it doesn’t play by the same rules - it can keep moving while others are sitting still. Nobody is going to sit in a bus in traffic when they can sit in their own car in traffic.

As it is now, I commute in a fashion that you don’t even know exists…I ride my bike (downhill) to the bus stop at Morningside, take the bus to Arts Center (little traffic to sit in that time of the am) and take the train to work up at Sandy Springs. Then on the way home I throw my work clothes in my backpack and wear something appropriate for the 15 minute bike ride home through Ansley. I can stop at the grocery store on the way home and pick up dinner, and go a whole week w/o starting my car.

This Bush-hater is part of the solution you dummy. All you’re doing is whining.

Friggin road block. That’s what you are.

And if Bob Barr is so damn principled, why isn’t he bringing impeachment guff against Bush like he did Clinton? Huh?

So what should Grady do? Close its world class Trauma unit? Close the burn unit? Stop the metro-wide helicopter emergency flights? Close the metro-serving childrens hopital? Lose the cancer unit?

Let me guess, thats not what you would cut, right. Thats not who you are after, you want to pick and choose.

Is there waste at Grady? Yes. There is waste everywhere in government. The $400 that I pay through my property tax is well spent in my opinion. Jesus would be pleased, right?

Its funny that Grady is always the favorite target of the cryin’ I hate taxes group. I rarely hear any debate over other state entitlement programs though.

Take for instance Atlanta Gas light Co.. Why do we pay 35% more for natural gas? Why do we pay so much for pipes and storage? Why is the serice AGL provides not put out for bid?

I guess when an agency is run by blacks its fair game. When the theft is coming from the good ol’ boy system its hush, hush. Don’t look to hard at Ga Power either, or the road contractors.

Where is that 35% gas overcharge going anyway?

You’ve got congestion becasue your counties woldn’t get on board. They wanted the roads, not the trains.

It was your decision not to participate, so that’s why you’re suffering.

If Cobb and Gwinett and Clayton had some frigging foresight, a guy could take a train from Merchant’s Walk over to Lawrenceville, or from Smyrna over to Jonesboro. How great would that be?

By Transportation Planner

Increased density will undoubtedly place burdens on other components of our infrastructure. That’s why we have people called planners who try to ensure that all those elements come together concurrently.

Allowing land use decisions to dictate where transportation investments are made (i.e., unchecked development which overwhelms the roadway network) is precisely what has gotten us into the congestion mess we face today. But a transit system designed to promote redevelopment and desnification, combined with concurrent improvements to other infrastructure to enable that redevelopment, will result in a much more efficient partnering of transportation and land use. This is the concept behind the Belt Line.

Claiming that multitudes of people will have to give up their cars entirely and live/work/play entirely within the confines of a single transit line in order to produce tangible congestion relief is faulty logic. Think about it this way. If every person in the region were willing to leave their car in the garage and use transit just one day a week (probably too great a sacrifice for many people to even consider, but that’s another issue), traffic volumes would drop instantly by 20%, assuming the days people rode transit were evenly distributed. Traffic flow theory shows that a 20% reduction in volume would translate into an even greater percentage decrease in congestion levels. But the ability to use transit even one day out of five is impossible if those alternatives simply aren’t available. The Belt Line provides such an alternative. So would a BRT route to an exurb, or MARTA rail, or commuter rail. It’s a Catch 22 situation…you can’t effect change if there aren’t alternatives.

Nobody is asking anybody to completely change their lifestyle. But the mentality that anybody can drive anywhere they want anytime of time and not be encumbered by congestion is not realistic. It’s simply not possible in a region as fast-growing as Atlanta. As a region, we must find the proper balance between additional roadway capacity, transportation options, land use decisions and behavioral changes (not to be interpreted as social engineering, simply a willingness for people to make an occasional small sacrifice). All of these elements are essential to creating a well functioning mobility network. An unwillingness to compromise on any of these four aspects is a guarantee that we’ll never make headway against congestion.

Good morning all, and Merry Christmas. For the second time this week our friend Philosopher has totally pre-empted my thunder. He must have converted me to his way of thinking. I’ll add only one idea on McKinney Street wherever it is. These things have a way of working themselves out. We have two east-west roads named for recent former presidents, in our county. One street is congested, impoverished, dysfunctional in every sense of the word; the other is a smooth road, little traffic, but efficient for the purpose. Much like their administrations.

Jim is right about the blog - the stuff we read daily is intellectually fun, one of the highlights of my (admittedly dull) life, and I thank my co-bloggers, especially TFTT, for the fun.

His viewpoints today were quite rational for a Conservative and when you’re right, you’re right.

You can blame the end of Jeb Bush’s political career on his older (dumber) brother. George H.W. Bush admitted as much when he broke down while giving a speech in Florida about his son, the outgoing Governor. You could tell in his remarks and the crack in his voice that he was talking about the “good son” and from that you can tell he knew that his namesake had ruined any chance his younger brother had to be the country’s first third term legacy. I’ve read comments from those in the GHWBush inner circle stating that everyone, the elder Bush included, always felt that it was Jeb, not GW that would eventually follow in his father’s footsteps. And like a spiteful brat who only wants what their sibling wants just to be a jerk, GW slipped in to run for it in 2000, even though it hadn’t been his lifelong goal to do so. And we’re all paying the price for this jacka$$’s incompetence.

VT is pushing for homosexual marriage, refuses to crack down on child abuse or enact Jessica’s Law, has far left victim hating pandering judges, has socialist scum on its congressional payroll and one of the vilest of all demoNcrat senators who Dick Cheney easily has the measure of. No wonder rednekkks is off there. Parting is such sweet sorrow!!

Bob Barr like Buchanan has talked and talked himself “out” of the GOP, he has no electoral base left and no chance of ever regaining any type of national office. The Libertarian Party is pretty much a joke, both politically and electorally. Barr is increasingly yesterday’s man -but good luck to him. He deserves the nation’s lasting gratitude for helping impeach the billypecker.

Illegals deserve and should get NOTHING from the US taxpayer. They should be refused all services, especially education and any health care that is not IMMEDIATELY life threatening. Any illegal found getting taxpayer help or breaking any laws should immediately be arrested and deported. ZERO TOLERANCE of illegals would help to swiftly move them back to Mexico and elsewhere and would save billions and billions of dollars.

Jim the observation on the Gwinnett APC is an easy one. The present mindset among even the smallest law enforcement agencies has become one of us against them as opposed to “To Protect and Serve”. Everytime I see this I cringe. Does it even matter that we have a Posse Comitatus prohibition when so many law enforcement agencies have become nothing more than paramilitary organizations possessing more firepower than the armies of many nations and have the mindset to turn this power on the populace? We have a National Guard if such force and power should be needed. This cowboy mentality that we see today among law enforcement agencies makes it very easy to see how little old ladies get gunned down for an alleged stash of Marijuana.

Observer,

Point taken.

Here’s the address to the North Springs Marta station:

7010 Peachtree Dunwoody Road.

Cobb and Gwinnett have everything to do with this issue. What if there was a train station in downtown Roswell? As it stands now, the only place you could go would be south, so your options would be limited. It’d be good for events like the airport, the dome and Phillips Arena, but daily commuting would not be practical due to there being no options.

And in case you missed it, the mentality of North Fulton is the same as Cobb and Gwinnett…”we’re better than everyone and we don’t want any part of Atlanta’s transit system. All it will do is bring minorities up here and they’ll get in our stuff.”

When’s the last time a group of citizens attended a Roswell City Council meeting clamoring for rail? Is there even a local advocacy group? All there is now is idle whining about how bad traffic is….The boat has left, and the region missed it.

getalife,

I’ve heard that in op-ed pieces, neocons are calling for the U.S. to actually choose sides, throwing our weight behind the Shiites of Iraq. Now thinking like that is what got us into Iraq, and WILL DEFINITELY lead to a regional conflict. If Sunni Arab states like Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia think the scales in Iraq (and the broader Middle East) they will be compelled to intervene. If chaos insues, the Kurds in Turkey may see it as an opportunity to carve off their own autonomous region along with the N Iraq Kurds, which will force action by Turkey. And if ever the gloves come off between Sunnis and Shiites on a regional scale, you can better believe that none of these groups will feel any restraint in attacking Israel. And if all hell breaks loose there, you better believe the radical elements in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan will intensify their efforts to overthrow Karzai and Musharraf. If Musharraf is overthrown, then India might feel compelled to take steps to defend itself in an offensive manner. If India starts getting froggy, then China will get nervous. Now you’d have more than half the world’s population either at war, or mobilizing to defend themselves against aggression, including 4 nuclear powers (not including us).

There is no outcome in which the United States can afford to pick a side and put our chips on their number. Most of the trouble we face in the world today is because we have permanently chosen to be on Israel’s side. We need to stop being certain nations’ permanent buddies and start making decisions based on the circumstances of each individual issue. And the United States, under no cirmcumstances should ever take the advice of neocons.

tftt/tommy, there aren’t but a few Uncle Ernies in Vermont, not like here (or in Manchester - smirk), where same-sex incest is a right of passage.

While agree with you that childrapers should be punished severely, child molestation and child abuse is an extremely rare occurence in VT, unlike in Georgia. All crimes against persons and property are lower in VT than GA, proof that civilization, education, and decent personal hygiene are buffers to criminality.

As a soon to be citizen of the state of Vermont, I promise to work assiduously and arduously to make the state unattractive to the child abusers and violent criminals that make up such a large portion of the red state population.

With regard to the defense of marraige, I will suggest to my new state representative that s/he introduce legislation that marraiges from red states not be recognized in VT, unless the parties submit to extensive marraige counseling. The divorce rates in red states are epidemic, revealing the deep flaws in the institution of red state marraige. The high rates of divorce, spouse abuse, wifebeating, etc. in the red states are contributing to the further degeneration of an already degenerate red(neck) state culture.

Your witless unremitting obsession with Manchester is still most unamusing. Although it is a decent enough city [to visit for shopping and a cricket game] - save for its two extremely odious football teams … Man Ure and Manshitty.

VT is where child rapists get 60 days from judges who then irrationally defend to the hilt their ludicrous sentences. I suppose your own similarly benighted past still wickedly haunts you as your very own familial Cousin Ernie got off scott free. NY is yet another NORTHERN child abusing state where invariably bugger all is done to child molestors and Jessica’s Law legislation is deliberately blocked by leftist vermin beholden to trial lawyer scum in the state legislature.

A hugely disproportionate number of violent criminals in the south, especially metro Atlanta are black and now increasingly mexican types. Just watch WSB’s tabloidish news coverage for a week or two to see the undeniable truth of this. Something that you leftist multi-culti bollockchopturds cheerily deny at every opportunity.

The divorce level in the south is merely yet another victim of the wholly unwelcome, egregious yankkkee infestation - mouthy loud self absorbed adulterous, child abusing, wife beating yankkkees lower the tone and increase domestic abuse wherever they go and folks here are that p!ssed with their presence that it occasionally bleeds over into their usually quite tranquil domestic arrangements.

Maybe you’ll run into a VT serial killer ski-instructor on the Howard Dean the scream slopes and realise the south aint so bad after all… hopefully it wont be just too late.

The United States is not militarily prepared — as it should be —to meet worldwide obligations and threats.

Thank you Mr. Wooten, for acknowledging that we are NOT safer-er now. Though your favorite bloggers have, for some time now, questioned my patriotism for expressing that I DON’T feel safer-er now that our soldiers are stretched to the limit and dying in Iraq for no good g-dd-mn reason, the truth is we’re NOT safer-er for just the reasons you now acknowledge. “You don’t go to war with the Army you want, you go with the Army you have” Rumsfeld is out on his narcissistic, babbling tush, thank goodness. (Although the President still continues to defy the principles of sane thought.)

Now how ‘bout some common sense? Identify your resources — financial and human — and use them wisely and prudently. Waste, like sacrificing brave soldiers in the Iraqi civil war, leads only to regret. Thanks Mr. Wooten! Will your nieces and nephews be signing up for military service at your strong urging this holiday? I hope so.

the terrorists have won already

while chicken little chases terrorists he created in irak (harold supposes you could refer to them as his tail that he is chasing), the terrorists are busily preparing an attack on our poop pipes

My fervent hope is that your standing with Him is such that your plea accomplish its desired purpose without rendering me a hopelessly misguided liberal.

And Dusty @ 11:22: I have delightful memories of my teetotaler mother and her friends sipping the Manichevitz while dousing the fruitcake and giggling as though they were school girls sneaking thier first drink. But the cake, once soaked and properly cured , was not as you assert “the manna of the Gods, the ambrosia of the artist, and the the rescuer of the perishing.” It was fruit cake with gummy, too-sweet fruit and rind, too few nuts and too much shelf life. The fruit-cake cookies I’ve tasted have suffered that same fruitcake malady.
