DEL.ICIO.USMichael Vick; Clark Atlanta; and Grady
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Thinking Right’s free-for-all Friday. Pick a topic:
• Poor people who escape the ghetto life on talent and luck should never take the boys from the old neighborhood with them. They end up like Michael Vick.
• A sheriff who can’t spell “assassination” orders one. Any of us could be killed by an ignorant, penny-ante street thug. DeKalb Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown was. The only difference is that Sidney Dorsey had been given a public office. He should die still imprisoned — unless, of course, fuzzy-memory witnesses come forward in 20 years to recant.
• Stop the presses! Set up the gallows. Various interest groups, including one funded by money extracted from the tobacco industry in the 1998 settlement with the states, are appalled and outraged that R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. is attempting to sell cigarettes to women. They specifically object to its Camel No. 9 brand, which is packaged in “shiny, sleek black boxes bordered with fuschia and teal” with ads “that include florals, hints of lace and the slogan ‘Light and Luscious.’ ” The nanny-staters won’t be satisfied until the industry is driven from these shores. And another thing: Courts should never direct settlement money to interest groups, or to create foundations with an advocacy purpose.
• Leona Helmsley is alleged to have said “we don’t pay taxes; only the little people pay taxes.” She may never have said it, but the observation does help to explain the folly of Democrats professed desire to tax “the rich.” They sweep up a world of little people in higher taxes before they ever touch “the rich.” Helmsley died this week at 87.
• It’s OK to erect 45-foot wind turbines in residential neighborhoods in Atlanta, but not big houses on lots that once held smaller ones. One is about “energy independence,” and the other is about putting the rich in their places. Come to Far North Vinings. Big houses are welcomed next to my starter move-up.
• Subprime lenders aside, what business would invite customers to move into its housing and consume services before determining whether they could pay the bill? That’d be Clark Atlanta University, which invites students to move into its dorms before arranging necessary financial aid. “It’s crazy,” said one. “Why would you accept someone and put them in housing, and you haven’t even processed them yet?”
• Borrowing money to pay off high-interest credit cards may make sense. Borrowing high-interest money to pay off no-interest credit cards, as some Grady Hospital board members propose, makes none. The no-interest debt is owed Emory and Morehouse. Grady’s interest would be less if Fulton and DeKalb agree to put their tax digests up as collateral, which would be dumber. Memo #4 to state officials rushing in: These drunks are in denial, still swearing they don’t touch the stuff. They’re not AA candidates yet.
• The problem with the ex parte rule the Public Service Commission adopted this week is that it fails to include interest groups, such as the American Association of Retired Persons, the Sierra Club and others with an agenda. The rule prohibits private conversation between commissioners and utility representatives after evidence is heard. But interest groups not officially joined to the case aren’t covered. Surely that’s an oversight.
• Atlanta City Councilman C.T. Martin wishes to ban exposed underwear in public places. Don’t dismiss him. Work with him. He’s one of the lone voices concerned about the culture’s influence on children. “Little children see it and want to adopt it, thinking it’s the in thing,” said Martin. “I don’t want young people thinking that half-dressing is the way to go. I want them to think about their future.” Come to think of it, I’ve never seen the attire in any place where people are successful.

Good morning all. Seemingly issues of the underclass are to dominate our discussion themes today. Michael Vick and his ilk will not listen to sound advice, so expect the homies to stay in the posses. The tragedy – I use the term correctly – of Sidney Dorsey is indistinguishable from that of Michael Vick; Dorsey just did not fall so far, as he was a mere politician. On McMansions, Jim Wooten publishes the first intelligent line I have read anywhere: “Big houses are welcomed next to my starter move-up.” Anyone who knows anything about real estate knows you always want to own the smallest house in the best neighborhood, to boost your rate of return; complaints about McMansions are undoubtedly the lament of the ignorant. As to Grady, maybe it is beginning to dawn on our Leftist friends that this is simply another plea for corporate welfare – the defense of the transfer of funds, from taxpayer to another “for profit” entity draws a less spirited representation from the nanny-staters. Finally, we white folk probably ought to stay out of the sagging pants debate; I assume from Jim’s respectful comments that C. T. Martin is a black fellow, and our words of informed support may make his meritorious efforts more difficult.
Now to get to the non-ghetto issues, I don’t care about smokers, and I wish our social controllers did not [full disclosure, my precious older son smokes, much to the disgust of Mrs. jbmlaw and me.] Leona Helmsley strikes me as a funny case – normally people of wealth, who are otherwise willing to be controversial on public topics, are politically active, at least as contributors (and usually in support of leftist causes; something about leftism causes them to be unable to keep their mouths shut.) I have read nothing, in her case, suggesting a political bent. The PSC could learn a lot about the risks of “ex parte” if they would talk to any judge who has been on the bench more than six months.
“… lenders aside, what business would invite customers to … consume services before determining whether they could pay the bill?” Answer: dumb attorneys, but I always assert it as a virtue; my “pro bono” would have allowed me to retire in style.

How about that flip-flopping, cut and run John Warner, Jim? Said he cleared his conscience yesterday? Leading GOP military voice kneeled quietly, if not cheered, as the frat boy in the White House played with our military like a child does with the plastic green soldiers that come in bags of fifty – and now his conscience is clear? Glad you feel better, Mr. Warner.

I just love the fact that you prejudiced fools are constantly harping on Vick (even his drug addicted dad), but hardly get this riled up over our crooked thug of a president Bush!!! He is truly a white collar thug if ever……….Cheney too!!! So Vick fought dogs. Look at how many innocent people have been killed thanks to President Thug Bush!!!! And not nearly as many people are outraged!!! Yes, I love dogs too, but human beings are just that… HUMAN BEINGS!!!! If Bush can lead all of these people to their deaths, spend trillions on a stupid war (just so he can get his hands on more oil!!!), break laws right from the Whitey House, and stiil deliver his ignorant nationally televised speeches………then y’all need to leave Vick alone!!!!! But of course if he looked more like most of you, then this would not be nearly as horrific!! Bunch of freakin hypocrites!!!!!!!

I LOVE wind turbines! It is my dream to build a house with alternative solar or wind power. Is it because I care about the environment? No! Its because I like being independent and having my own source of electricity is worth the extra cost.
The added bonus would come from upsetting the liberal quasi-environmentalist down the street who wants alternative power, just not in his neighborhood.
When I heard that Grant park residents were upset about the turbine, I recall how many people I met there who would qualify as environmental activists. Its more than amusing to see them squirm.

Good morning, Jim
TW’s @8:07 comment is just about what I would expect from the Bushites. Anyone who questions their junior high perspectives is suddenly a “cut and runner.”
Better than being lost in Alabama, I suppose.
As for me, I will cast my lot with General Petraeus. When his report comes, if he says stay, then we should stay. If he says we are flogging a dead horse, then let the withdrawal begin.
Georgie Bush is finished for all pratical purposes anyway. Anything positive from this point is damage control.
As far as young men showing their underwear, I have no problem getting them to pull them up. I just ask them how they got so many track marks back there. It works everytime!

I don’t see the point of the wind turbine in Atlanta, but I don’t think a neighborhood association should be able to stop it either. Same holds for the McMansions.
Typical Grady board: pay consultants to give recommendations; ask business leaders to give recommendations; then ignore it all and ask for more money to do the same thing they’ve always done. Grady can be fixed if the “stakeholders” will stop playing the race card and make some sound business decisions.

Shame on you, Jim, for faulting Clark Atlanta. You of all people should know that these young people are responsible for their own actions. By blaming the university, you’re basically telling them that they are not at fault for moving into the dorm and making a financial commitment to pay for school without being able to repay. While the school is responsible for helping the students process the paperwork, the students are ultimately responsible for their own financial plans. By learning this lesson of personal responsibility early, these students might be better off in the future. To teach them that their finances are someone else’s responsibility perpetuates the myth that so many young people today believe - that their well being is someone else’s responsibility. That they deserve, rather than they have to work for.

As for the wind turbine, who doesn’t think that it wasted more energy to make, transport, and set up the turbine than the device will save over the long run? And who doesn’t think that the cost of the device will exceed the savings over time? (C’mon, buddy, if you’re using that much energy, finding where to conserve would have been much easier.) So basically Grant Park just got a giant phalic symbol.
Well, I guess if you put a Barber Pole outside a Barber Shop and a Giant Fish outside a Fish Market, then the house is probably now correctly marked to identify it’s ownter.

Good Morning to all: I don’t think the Michael Vick lesson is to necessarily leave the friends of one’s youth behind. Catapulting from poverty and obscurity to immense wealth and fame must be dislocating, and associations from the difficult past would seem more trustworthy and untainted by opportunism than those made through money and connections. The trick appears to be selectivity. Bring along only those friends - and even family members - who do not insist on bringing the desperate part of the past with them. For those who find it too hard to say no, perhaps teams could assist in finding a representative who could shield the player by setting up lists of approved/unapproved petitioners and maintain contact with posse members who are importunate or amassing criminal records. Sure, Mr. Vick should have been able to do this for himself, but he is not alone in being unprepared, stupid, arrogant and too soft a touch. After all, he’s been allowed to escape the consequences of his actions for years by teachers, coaches and boosters who didn’t feel he needed to be an educated, responsible person as long as he would run and throw. Of course, his bestial interests are another problem, along with contempt for the law.
If we’re to have a nanny state, I’d rather it was saving us from tobacco than from saggy pants. Ridiculous and uncomfortable as they appear, the pants are neither addictive nor lethal (although the face plant that I saw one young man take when he incautiously released his grip on his pants in reaching out for a pass in pickup football and gravity took over may have done him in through embarrassment).
I don’t understand Mr. Wooten’s collocation of Leona Helmsley with Democrats. She seems to have despised nearly everyone, and advertised herself as “The Queen” in her “Palace”. Not the sort of dame you’d expect to find in The Big Tent.
And as one who lives in the middle of rampant infill building, there are pros and cons. The overall tax digest grows but existing housing stock is compromised in value, as the older building is no longer viewed as an asset. Also, the character and “look” of the neighborhood is fundamentally changed. Since that is what attracted the longer-term residents, it is difficult to see that as a plus.

I appreciate CT Martin’s efforts but the “underwear ban” is unenforceable. One good thing about this style of dress is that it allows the public to identify early the future losers of America.
How long will it be before somebody calls for taxpayers to bail out poor old Clark college. My guess is six months.

My wife and I just had an idea for Michael Vick’s punishment while in prison. Since the dogs at his home have been deemed to be too dangerous to be adopted why doesn’t the judge have Vick be responsible (under the prison’s supervision) for their care while he’s there? Let him clean their cages, feed them and give them the affection they were deprived while being trained for killing. Maybe this ‘punishment’ would be more humane than what most of us want Vick to suffer. That punishment could be left up to the dogs under his care. :)

You can’t legislate a fashion trend, no matter how stupid it is…there’s not a cop in Atlanta that would enforce something like that..
There’s only one way to end the “baggy pants-show off your butt” look and that is for the mainstream to embrace it…when middle-aged, white, bald men started wearing baggy jeans just under each cheek, the style will fade faster than Mitt Romney’s next flip-flop.

Jim…always look forward to Friday and your great observations. I loved the one about the cigarette companies. That money was “extorted” from them though…under the direction of trial lawyers and a Bill Clinton-led Justice Dept. What happens to liberals and their silly programs to help the children when they kill the “goose that laid the golden egg”…otherwise known as evil tobacco? They’ll go after another product they deem evil and unfit for the poor, ignorant masses and try to tax and litigate it into oblivion. As for the baggy pants legislation…good luck. Government trying to pass laws taking the place of parents won’t work. Baggy pants and such never bothered me unless that underwear thing was involved. Make those hoodlum wannabe kids either keep their shirt-tails out and covering their choice of BVDs for the day…or pull ‘em up and fasten them with a belt. That should satify the “go along with any abherrant behavior” ACLU.

This guy is from Florida, but I’m sure lots of Georgia folks can relate! Those colored folks can be pretty scary - at night - when you’re walking into a park bathroom - banging on stall doors.
Actually, I know I speak for most Georgia gents when I say that I find homosexuality disgusting, yet extremely arousing, especially when the duskier types - with their droopy drawers - are involved…
And there’s a certain English gentleman that posts here frequently I’m sure I speak for too.
*On July 11, Sen. John McCain’s Florida campaign co-chair Bob Allen, a state assemblyman with an unrelentingly anti-gay record, knocked on a park bathroom stall in Titusville, Fla., and offered the man within a $20 bill to give him a blow job. The man was an undercover officer.
At first it seemed to be a familiar kind of tale — the secret passions of a conservative who had taken a strong moral stand against gay adoption, and even presented to his state’s Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety a bill that would have tightened the loopholes against public masturbators.
Recently, however, the story has taken on new dimensions with various accounts from Allen. To see the big picture, he explains, you must take into account that there was a lightning storm (from which he took refuge in the bathroom, he says), the park’s “stocky” black people (i.e., their presence scared Allen into paying), and his panic that he might “become a statistic” if he didn’t act fast.
Fearful of being mugged, the awfully jumpy Bob Allen told the police that he cut the blow job deal so that he could reach a guarded security area, the nearest of which was several miles away from him — a plan which resists easy understanding. Maybe Allen hoped the oral sex could somehow stun his adversary?
Rather than quit his duties as assemblyman, Allen has apologized to the local NAACP for his “stocky” comment, explaining that in the course of being “accused of being a bathroom cruising pervert, and then a racist,” he has come to understand the black (not gay) civil rights struggle better.
He plans to run for the state senate in 2010.*
Good for him!

Well, a guy ought to be able to put up a wind turbine in his own yard, no matter what the neybors say. Just like a guy should be able to own a couple machine guns and maybe a artillery piece to pertect his property and keep the trash away and maybe do a little hunting. I keep getting ragged by my neybors because I have the only double-wide in my trailer park. All the rest is singles. Well, it’s none of their beeswax what I put on my property. This is America, and I’ll darn sure do what I like. I beleive in Private Property and Private Innerprize.
I don’t want to see nobody’s underwear, so I hope they pass that law. It’s Those People that like to run around showing their shorts and it ought to be against the law. If God wanted us to show our shorts he wouldn’t of invented pants. Showing bra straps is alright though. You got to have a little You Know What to make life intrusting. We ain’t homos, you know.
Tell this Pope guy it ain’t none of his business what I do with my spare time. I don’t know why he hates rednecks. He’s a real sicko.
I don’t care about Grady, long as they don’t use my tax money for it. It’s a bunch of Those People running a place to doctor Those People and trying to get us godly Christian conservatives to pay for it. If God wanted them doctored free they would of been born with a little doctor to grow up with them.
And I see the anti-smoking nuts is still at it. It has got to the point a guy can’t light up nowhere. You can’t hardly go to a eating place these days and smoke. So I just bring my Skoal and Redman and order half a cup of coffee and nobody even notices the cup is filling up, not going down.
Well, I got a heavy beer run to make. The Baptists and other godly Christians like to stock up on the weekend so they can quinch their thirst after church. By Sunday night the bar shelfs will be as empty as a collection plate passed amongst a bunch of Jews. Have a good weekend everybody, and pray for Sister Dusty and tftt. Both of them have made theirselfs pretty scarce because of their diffrent problems. No doubt Sister Dusty is waiting for the likker store to open right now and tftt is waiting at the street corner for his fix.

Good one, Jim
I liked the comments about the baggy pants. Saw Mr. Martin on TV and he looks like a caring grandfather. I understand his perspective.
As I walked from the parking lot to the grocery store last week, I was behind a “gentleman” with cell phone whose pants were headed for ground zero.
I thought I would have to get my emergency blanket from car trunk to keep him from being arrested for indecent exposure. Fortunately, someone else dashed to his rescue. He, himself, never stopped talking on his cell phone.
Maybe we could set up rescue stands, “Jerk-up pants stations for jerks”, or something like that!!! Any male over two years old with suspicious sagging should have a pants “uplift” or be strapped into Pampers.

When O.J. murderss two people the blacks find him innocent. When Michael Vick kills dogs with great cruelty blacks, joined by the NAACP, find him a victim of racism and equate killing dogs to hunting deer. When will the blacks acknowledge their own misdeeds?
The trouble with blacks is that they have no SuperEgo. That means, no self-control, no postponement of pleasure, no planning for the future. As Earl Butz, in the Nixon administration Sec. of Agriculture, one remarked: what blacks want is tight p….y, loose shoes, and a warm place to p…s.

I live in Morningside where a lot of the infill building has been going on. They just torn down the house next door to me to build two on the lot. The lot has been sitting vacant now for 3 weeks. I wonder if the new restrictions have messed up the builder’s plans for the size, style of houses he was going to build. I don’t mind newer, bigger houses being built in the neighborhood as long as they fit the lot size properly and the style of the neighborhood. I’ve put a lot of money into my house renovating it. If it’s only going to be viewed as a tear-down, then all the money and work, won’t pay off when I’m ready to sell.

Truely is doesn’t matter what happens to Vick as long as it goes in line with all the other professional athletes that have been caught gambling, law breaking and running an illegal gambling operation. The NAACP can hush up and sit down now that they have embarrassed themselves, no class on that one. Even the national chapter tried to do damage control and just screwed it in the ground worst. Now let’s go back to Vick. Whatever time the law requires that hs spend in jail and fines be paid and be banned from professional sports as have been his predicessors in the gambling area have been. Tabacco and advertising. If there has ever been an industry more targeted by the governments to put out of business please tell me what it is. Every jackass politician that wants more money for his or her pet project first thing is raise the tabacco taxes, next it is the gasline tax. But that is another time. The Tabacco Industry needs to sue the Federal and State governemnts for unfair taxation with pis poor representation. No one was forced to smoke, they all choose to. As an ex-smoker, I can honestly say that I choose to, advertising was not an issue. OK saggy pants. Don’t like looking at some guy with his pants down and his skid marked drawers shinning. Should have more class and respect for himself. Maybe it did start in prison and that is where is should stay. It does make it easier for the law to catch them and for a rival gang to beat their ases cause they cann’t run or fight holding up them pants. But truely who cares. There are more serious things that need attention. You can slam Bush if you want to, don’t matter to me. But who is the say Billary or Oblama will be any better. I honestly can not. Billary will pick up where Bill left off and that will screw us all again just like Bush or any other carear politican. Billary will try to censor out what she feels we do not need to see, read or talk about and Bill as the first lady will go back to lieing and whoring. Oblama will try to convert us all to the Muslim faith and the Koran. Then will come th idiots thinging if I kill innocent people in what I veiw as Holy War I will be a marter and go straight to Heaven. Does matter if is a Holy War or not as long I am told by the grand goomba it is then it is. Let’s just not vote for any person that has made a carear of deceiving the public. Then we get new batch. Atleat that we we might hear some new lies. Subprime lenders, now that is just wrong and these companies should get a major time out, behind bars. That is just taking advantage of the working people who to try and better themselves. WRONG WRONG WRONG. Thanks to everyone.

after watching the monkey on the evening news salivate in his thousand dollar size xxxxxlarge suit over getting his fat gready hands on 100 million dollars, i became convinced that it is better to let grady fail than to keep the current ten clowns collectively called the hospital board. these same jungle bunnies spent the 100 million dollars slick willy clinton gave to grady in the mid 90 s on granite and marble surface treatements rather than on health care. i feel certain the criminal board and their family members pocketed tens of millions of those dollars, imho. close grade, fire the board, and maybe later reopen it as a non profit with a volunteer board from the ranks of atlanta s major corporations. no jungle bunnies need apply

I believe an earlier poster nailed it on Vick. Many of the pro athletes need to be more selective about who they hang out with and where they go with them. Everyone has had a friend who sometimes would get out of hand. On the other hand, I can understand the players’ view. You’re talking about abandoning friends you have had since you were 6 maybe younger. It’s easy for someone else to say dump your friends. That’s a tough decision to make. As for Grady, I find the accusations of corporate welfare laughable. I think it’s also highly hypocritical to criticize Grady for begging, especially when Delta and many other Fortune 500 companies do the same every year. And the federal government gives them the money!! All the while, the average American is raked over the burning coals for seeking help from the government whom he pays taxes to. As for the wind turbine, I think the Grant Park residents are right to want him to take it down. The turbine is designated for 8 mph winds. And the wind doesn’t typically blow that hard on a calm day. I think they said it blows at about 5 mph. Basically, the turbine does nothing. It’s just an eyesore. Wanting to take it down has nothing to do with them being hypocritical. It has everything to do with it being ineffective. As for the baggy pants law, I think this law should not be put in place. First, you cannot legislate morals!!!!! You either have it or you don’t. No law is going to change that. Second, passing this law is a slippery slope. By passing this law, you are stating that the government has the right to tell you how to dress. Not only that, but where does it stop? I don’t like people who wear the cap backwards. I don’t like women who wear hats. And it keeps going and going.

well, considering that the baggy pants look originated in prison (no belts, since they can be used as weapons), I wonder why anyone would want to emulate it.
My old man had a take on property values. While he was living there, he wanted the place to have the value of a lowly hovel (reducing his property tax burden) but when it came time to sell, he wanted the value of Versaille. It is gratifying to know that Mr. Wooten would be happy to have his neighbors with their McMansions drive up his property tax burden. I am sure he will appreciate that when he finally decides to retire and goes on a fixed income.

POST OF THE DAY THUS FAR is by Candide!!
Watching the human scum Vick being oh so predicktably defended by racist racebaitin’ snouts deep in the black racial spoils trough naacp scum and their loathsome execrable ilk is just too funny. Even funnier is seein’ how all these sullen despicable criminal defendin’ blacks NEVER EVER admit wrong doing by blacks - its always - gasp, whitey’s fault.
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT Whitey made these hippety hop maggots systematically butcher, torture and murder countless dogs for sick depraved pleasure for a number of years. Whitey of course had unlimited power over this remorseless hippety hop dog killin’ crew. And Vick and these hapless helpless poor shuffling negroes, WHO WERE USING HIS MONEY AND PROPERTY just went along like good little sheepish oppressed slaves.
But - as ever - the cold hard truth is that ITS A BLACK THANG!!! How many whites were doin’ this with the human scum Vick??? NOT SEEN ONE white boy indicted (yet) or making the usual nauseatin’ I’m sorry for my pesky wittle mistake ‘pitch’ on the lard arsed self obsessed smugger than smug Oprahbitch puke fest.
Vick is actually lower on the missing link scale than a negroid troglodyte. Vick’s educational ebonics spoutin’ level is hilariously lower than most moderately eloquent parrots. Including white cockatoos and green amazons. This sullen, utterly unrepentant should have been aborted braided hair totin’ barely literate VA whelped dogturd is undeniably the modern day homie poster boy for boyz from de knuckle dragging, crack abusing, black on black crime ridden hood.

Poor people who escape the ghetto life on talent and luck should never take the boys from the old neighborhood with them. They end up like Michael Vick.
Jim Wooten’s statement above is correct given African Americans have decided to become integrationist Negroes. It doesn’t matter if you are a bourgeois Negro or the average nine to five, you shouldn’t take the men and women from the old neighborhood with you. They must be approved by the white power system, or you will end up like Mike Vick. Without reservation, the statement is one hundred percent true.
I remember being a younger man employed by Eastern Airlines. One Friday afternoon, I allowed a friend, Larry, to visit my office for the remainder of the day; about three hours. My coworkers had allowed friends to visit their offices when work was average to slow. I introduced Larry to some of my coworkers. You all understand why; to get their tacit approval. An hour had not passed before individuals on a much higher pay scale took a slow walk through my office. This isn’t unusual. That’s the natural behavior of people when they have complete dominance over others. It matters not what your salary is, six figures, or otherwise. The same message is sent to all African Americans at one time or another. Evidently, Mike Vick didn’t bow like most Negroes under duress. Mike Vick continued his relationship with Purnell Peace, Quanis Phillips, and Tony Taylor.
Poor people who escape the ghetto life on talent and luck should always take the men and women from their neighborhood with them if they want to be free; or receive the favor of God. They should work with others of like mind to build a system of black power to ensure that no group other than African Americans can completely determine our destiny. With the resources which some of us stumble upon because of talent and luck, we should build businesses and institution which are capable of servicing the basic needs of African Americans. The days of other groups dominating, controlling, and intimidating us will have ended should we succeed marginally.
The billions of dollars other groups receive by servicing our basic needs, food, clothing, shelter, education, jobs etc., grants them the power to subjugate us, African Americans. Mike Vick and his business partners should secure those billions of dollars for themselves and the men, women, boys, and girls from the old neighborhood throughout the country.
Don’t be naive concerning this challenge. This will be a tremendous undertaking. Integrationist African Americans and other beneficiaries of negative African American integrationist exploitation will reject any notion of real black self sufficiency. Integrationist Negroes and others are awarded millions of dollars, fame, status, and job security in return for their complicity against the masses. They will not surrender their ill-fated gains without a pit bull fight; a fight to the death.
Considering all the players in the integrationist scheme, the so-called educated Integrationist Negroes play the most significant roles that lend support to black persons in the United States ending up like Mike Vick.

It is absolutely amazing to me that so many people are interested in what Michael Vick does and what happens to him. He pled guilty to a crime and he is being dealt with by the court system. If the NFL sees any value in him when he gets out of jail then they will hire him back. Can’t we find a NFL player that is doing something right and concentrate on him? Well, maybe that was a stupid question.

The problem you have is you are so blinded by your racist point of view that you don’t notice people like my friends and me. Granted, there is a segment of the black population that engage in undesirable behavior but they are not the majority. The situation for many blacks is the social structures many grew up in were created by a racist system that kept them segregated, with sub par schools even after the civil rights movement. It is ridiculous to think that a society can segregate a group of people from the mainstream, don’t allow them to take part of the “American Dream” place them in housing projects with other under-educated people and expect that there will not be a negative outcome. But I am sure you are too blind to see that obvious fact.

Instead of stating whose fault it is that the students at Clark Atlanta were not properly enrolled. Find the bottleneck and fix the problem. It is clear that the communication at the school between administrative staff and students is not effective. I am a parent of a freshman at Clark Atlanta and I have to say that as a Family we should have been more proactive and asked more questions when we were told things that didn’t add up. As a University Clark should make sure that they have individuals on the front line who are able to deliver correct and consistent information. And people who really want to help the students understand the process. This may entail paying people a 1/4 of what the president of the school makes (joke) but so be it. My daughter has received incorrect information, she has been robbed and gun point, and she has had funds from her school account misappropriated all in the span of three weeks. She still is proud to wear the black and red, but as a parent I must be honest I am ready to kick some black until I see RED!

They kill dogs in Greyhound dog racing all the time, and dog sledge racing but nothing is said about that because the state and white people make money from it.The same people that kill deer and and other animals just for sport and game are the one that try and yell the loudest about how these dogs were treated. (Hypocrites) Being caugth with cocaine and DUIs is also serious but treated as a minor joke when you are a white celebrity. 2 hours in jail. If they had been someone black it may have been 10 years.

Atlanta Thrashers Player Dany Heatley Gets “New Start” After Tragic Car Accident From Joy Johnston,
Dany Heatley has been traded to the Ottawa Senators, in a mutual deal that Heatley actually requested in order to get a fresh start. The Thrashers in return for Heatley acquired two top-notch players, including forward Marian Hossa and defenseman Greg de Vries.
UPDATE 2.4.05: Atlanta Thrashers hockey player Dany Heatley was sentenced to three years of probation after pleading guilty to second-degree vehicular homicide charges stemming from the car accident that killed his teammate, Dan Snyder. Heatley was found to be speeding and driving recklessly, but Snyder’s parents urged the judge to not give Heatley a prison sentence. Heatley also will have to give 150 speeches about speeding and its consequences.
UPDATE July 2004: Dany Heatley has been indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on first-degree vehicular homicide charges, for the car wreck that killed his friend and teammate, Dan Snyder, in October 2003. The charges carry a 3-15 year prison sentence.
UPDATE 10/06/03: Atlanta Thrashers player Dan Snyder died at Grady Memorial Hospital, after never regaining consciousness as the result of serious brain injuries sustained in a horrific car accident in Buckhead. Teammate Dany Heatley was driving the car at the time of the accident, and was reportedly speeding. The original article about the Atlanta Thrashers car accident follows:
Atlanta Thrashers fans are in shock after a late night car accident on Lenox Road in Buckhead has critically injured one Thrashers hockey player and another player faces criminal charges. Dan Snyder, a 25 year old center, is the most critically injured, with a “depressed skull fracture” that required emergency surgery at Atlanta’s trauma center Grady Memorial Hospital. Snyder is currently listed in critical condition. Thrashers forward Dany Heatley, 22, the NHL rookie of the year in 2002, and 2003 NHL All Star Game MVP, suffered a broken jaw but is conscious and alert. He is listed in stable condition. Atlanta Police have already charged him with reckless driving and serious injury by vehicle. Heatley was behind the wheel of his black Ferrari and going in excess of 80 mph, it is believed by authorities. Results of a mandatory blood alcohol test were not available yet.
Heatley and Snyder were coming back from a Thrashers season ticket holder function at Phillips Arena in Downtown Atlanta. It is believed by team officials that the two players were on their way to Heatley’s home in Buckhead when the wreck occurred.
Images of the wreckage shown on local news stations show what appears to be a horrific crash, with the car being torn in half and mangled beyond recognition. Pieces of the car and its contents could still be found hours after the accident, and attracted much attention by nearby residents and morning commuters. The area of Lenox Road where the crash took place is dotted by luxury condo and townhome communities, some which are designated as assisted living or retirement communities.
The Atlanta Thrashers organization is stunned by the news and a scheduled practice and exhibition game are on hold for now, as players rally around two of their young teammates. Of course, the immediate concern is for the wellbeing of the injured players, but at some point, decisions will have to be made as to how this unfortunate accident will affect the team and the upcoming season. There were high hopes that the Thrashers, only in existence for five years, would make the playoffs for the first time.

Jbmlaw,
I read the Noonan piece this morning, too, but had a very different take. I, too, had a similar experience in Normandy (particularly Bayeaux and the towns surrounding it) about 15 years ago. Every local treated me like an old friend and they spoke (in English) of their fondness for their “Liberators.” One thing they kept saying about the American soldiers during WWII was “so brave, so young, so selfless” and that they merely smiled and went on their way as the French tried to shower them with their meager remaining provisions.
I happened to be in Spain for the duration of the NATO intervention in Kosovo. Many Spainards said to me, “Why is the U.S. involved? But I guess you will clean it up.”
I was in London in the Winter of 2002 and every person there treated me like a brother or long lost friend and talked of how we would “get those (expletives).”
What saddens me most is that, as Noonan states, the U.S. military is made up of (mostly) great people… I am sure I would be honored for the Ensign to marry any member of my family, and my cousins serving in the Army are some of the smartest, most honorable young men I know… and those people have been let down by politicians with zero combat experience.
The ironic thing is that the far right (and Mr. Wooten in particular) talk about how “America has lost its will” in this war… but I ask, who really didn’t have a will? Who took the easy way out and didn’t ask for sacrifice or reinstate the draft? Who did not do the politically tough thing and send a force of 750,000 troops to Iraq if it was such a threat to national security? Who didn’t do the hard thing and take the time to build a consensus in the UN (or at least amongst our staunch allies) and get the world behind us?
I’m beginning to come around to the conclusion that it’s not that this Administration is stupid, it’s just lazy.

Who is Martha Stewart? Convicted on 4 counts of insider trading.(Something most people do everyday;stock tip)The main reason charges were filed is because she sat on the New York Stock Exchange Board. She was placed in a position of trust which she broke and then payed a price. She can never serve on the board or transact any business with the exchange ever again.
The NFL,Auther Blank, and most important of all ,the people of Atlanta also placed this trust with M.V.. He broke that trust. It is a privilege to play in the NFL, not a right.Now he must pay. Hopefully he will learn his lesson. He will never again recieve any substantial endorsements, nor should he ever play in the NFL again.
Last posting of conviction of dog fighting, individual received 3 years and 20K fine.( White male) M.V. will get less. Maybe not because of his color, but the depth of his pocketbook.

Well, my lunch break was late today on account of having to haul in so much beer to the bars where the Baptists and other godly Christians go after church on Sunday.
While I was eating my chicken weenies out of the can and listening to the radio, I got a great idea.
This Lisa Nowak, the astronaut that drove all the way to Florida wearing a diaper. She’s in a Fla. court today, and while I was being reminded of the story, it hit me: How about we hook her up with the godly Sen. Vitter, the one that liked to go to places of bad repute and be made to wear a diaper?
They would be perfect for each other. She would have a big supply of diapers and he wouldn’t have to go see bad women and sin in order to wear one. As a military woman she could just order him to put one on and do it real firm, like the military does. It would keep another godly Republican away from sin and scorn. I ain’t thought of nothing to help that godly Republican from Fla. that likes to chase teenage boys, but I’m working on it.
It’s a idea, and I want you to think it over while I finish hauling beer.

jbmlaw@2:23,
Thanks for directing our attention to Peggy Noonan’s article. It was truly a fine American piece.
Sometimes when wandering through these blogs, I begin to wonder if I have hit on a foreign desert where nothing good will survive. The downright suppresion of anything appreciative of the USA is rampant.
I hope that I am wrong. There are some here who encourage. A few. Other blogs are even worse. There seems so little appreciation for our troops and our president.
To mention the president is like throwing a bone to several dogs. The snarling and the biting commence. But our president has had tremendous decisions to make with catastrophes equal to Pearl Harbor. I will not apologize for mistakes because everybody makes them. He has not backed down nor cringed. He has continued “under fire” to carry out the duties of his office.
Ah well, I will say again that Peggy Noonan wrote a good piece about our military. How refresing to know that while our troops fight, the American appreciation of our freedom is not totally DOA.

To Convick or whatever you want to call yourself: Your attempt to lump all blacks into the same boat defeats your own argument about prejudice. You have strong anomosity towards all black people. Many of the comments you have made are based on stereotypes. Vick deserves to go to prison for his crimes. You won’t get any argument from me on that account. However, is it necessary to call him a neanderthal? What some of you fail to understand is the insults you are hurling have been used in the past. Your words were once taken as true facts. Black were neanderthals, monkeys- sub-human if you will. Your ignorance to that fact speaks volumes. Go back to Africa?! Where we think it’s so grand??! Dude, I have to ask- do you know any black people personally? Your post is a joke, right?! You think people are handed things in Africa?!! Once again, you have shown that the level of your ignorance knows no end! The sad thing is that you think you’re right. I’m sure you truly believe that if blacks weren’t here, America would be so much better.

Every day we seem to be moving closer to 3rd-world country status. Closing Grady is going to affect everyone who lives in Atlanta — and the whole state — not least because it is the only level-1 trauma center anywhere close to here. Grady closing means more people dying in car accidents, but also more people getting sick and dying from illness. Fulton and Dekalb counties finance a real resource that the whole region — the whole state, in fact — benefits from, and it’s high time the rest of the beneficiaries paid up.
I am not kidding when I say that if Grady closes, it will put us behind several 3rd-world cities in terms of public health. That is not good for anybody — not even people in Vinings who never come downtown. Isn’t this obvious? Can you imagine the national publicity this will generate for the state? We will lose out on new industry (businesses need a healthy workforce). We will lose out on tourism. The economy will suffer as a greater percentage of workers become sick. I guess it will accomplish one thing — perhaps it will convince some of those who would gladly sh*t on those people they see as beneath them — even as they piously claim Christian charity — that our economy really is more inter-dependent than they think. It would also give those politicians who are responsible a serious handicap.
By the way, which of these groups is a “for-profit entity?” There is none. Grady is government-run; Morehouse and Emory are both NFP universities.

Asam
it didn’t seem to me that ConVIck was doing that - not completely anyway. Obviously most blacks are decent law abiding folks who are sick of crime and black on black crime which is undeniably out of control in SOME areas locally and in other equally infamous urban areas.
I agree that the remarks on Africa were rather wide of the factual mark.
But terms like sullen neanderthal for Vick is fair enough. He refuses to come clean or admit full guilt, he’s admitted but a tiny part of years of depraved behaviour. He has evinced zero remorse and just cares about mimimising his punishment/career damage. Obviously one cant blame him too much for that. But his demeanour is that of a typical selfish sociopathic hippety hop thug who cares for no one but himself. Vick is exceedingly ignorant, both educationally and culturally. He is a truly nasty piece of work. He’s going to get away with minimal punishment which is outrageous.

Some interesting info on tft-tranny’s hero, Ted “Poopypoofypants” Nugent:
How Nugent got out of the Vietnam draft:
He claims that 30 days before his draft board physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days, he ingested nothing but Vienna sausages and Pepsi; and a week before his physical, he stopped using bathrooms altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with his own excrement, stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says. “… but if I would have gone over there, I’d have been killed, or I’d have killed, or I’d killed all the hippies in the foxholes…I would have killed everybody.” - Detroit Free Press Magazine , July 15, 1990
What a filthy POS pig! No wonder tft-tranny admires him.

One of the biggest disappointments in football was not Vick, but rather the low resolution 720p HDTV which has now been surplanted by 1080P. (I dont know what that means but I want it….vogue).
When congress first saw HDTV they certainly saw the lower resolution 720p. They were so impressed they unanimously passed legislation mandating it’s use. (the record shows only one abstention, and he was out watching gilligan reruns).
Only three times in history has congress ever been unamimous. The first was when they passed the 1.6 gallon per flush law. They passed this in the face of the charmin’s triple roll and 2scoop of raisins in the new cereals. (two full scoops! what were they thinking?)
The second unamimous legislation was when they gave amnesty to the leaders of the Whiskey Rebellion. (‘muff said).
The third is HDTV. Now, granted, congress had only seen black-and-white fuzzy images from the cathode ray tube when they first viewed the low resolution HDTV, so they should have been impressed.
But compare 1080p to 720p. Anyone who suckered for the 720p must be furious with congress. Maybe Iraqi violence should be fuzzy, but not football.
Congress acted too hastily. I speet on 720p. Congress acted quicker in only one case, and that, too, concerned focus: Terry Shiavo.
Maybe it’s time we go back to a do nothing congress. Have you seen gilligan in 1080p? He really looks dopey.

I think all conservatives would have to agree that the cut and run crowd were victorious there. Of course, the funniest part of the anti-American’s victory is that the leftists are now backing off the “pull out now” nonsense, and are talking as if they will stay the course plotted by President Bush.

Start to see why we cant pull out now? It has nothing to do with a victory or mission or surge or peace with honor or war on terror or shia/sunni civil war.

Dusty, Dusty… Such a brave little sycophant, defending the double standard every single day, even on the Lord’s day. We expect no less from you.
Had a female hooker made more than 200 appearances at the Clinton White House in a 2-yr period, you’d still be spewing a mouthful of Monica and “moral” outrage, though. Will you deny THAT? Good point about the “news” organization though! If Fox “news” can claim that they’re “news,” there are no standards in America today. None. But we knew that.
RAWSTORY breaks it down on your revered WH’s favorite “Top”… Heh:
Guckert made more than 200 appearances at the White House during his two-year tenure with the fledging conservative websites GOPUSA and Talon News, attending 155 of 196 White House press briefings. He had little to no previous journalism experience, previously worked as a male escort, and was refused a congressional press pass.
Perhaps more notable than the frequency of his attendance, however, is several distinct anomalies about his visits. Guckert made more than two dozen excursions to the White House when there were no scheduled briefings. On many of these days, the Press Office held press gaggles aboard Air Force One—which raises questions about what Guckert was doing at the White House. On other days, the president held photo opportunities.
On at least fourteen occasions, Secret Service records show either the entry or exit time missing. Generally, the existing entry or exit times correlate with press conferences; on most of these days, the records show that Guckert checked in but was never processed out. In March, 2003, Guckert left the White House twice on days he had never checked in with the Secret Service. Over the next 22 months, Guckert failed to check out with the Service on fourteen days. On several of these visits, Guckert either entered or exited by a different entry/exit point than his usual one. On one of these days, no briefing was held; on another, he checked in twice but failed to check out.

al-Gitmo: We don’t have a Congress in the United States anymore, now that the liberals are in charge, and that doesn’t seem to be hurting anybody except for the democrats.
See, these things always work out for the best.

Well, let’s just test that theory, I have a feeling that the Ku Klux Koward defines “thinking” as being able to spew a unbroken string of obscenities, either that or she finds thought to be painful and just doesn’t bother with it.
“Enlighten” us with your brilliance, dazzle us with your deep deliberations, tell us, oh “mastur,” how is the hate you spew here on a daily basis, somehow better than what Nugent spewed?
Are you special, Sheila?

Well, I think I been hornswoggled. It sure looks mighty bad that this Gannon guy was sneaking around the White House like that without no press experence and then not checking out. We might of traded a intern and a immoral president for a gay w*ore and a gay president. This is awful. I got no moral direction left. Or since I sent the $20 to the Revrend Haggard and got the same thing for my trouble.
And worst of all, Sister Dusty, that example of Moral Righteousness, is taking up for it all.
I ain’t felt this bad since my beloved Dawgs lost to Kentucky and Vanderbilt in the same season. My President running around and bothering other men’s zippers. I might of knowed. And I thought he was kneeling in his office to pray.

Good news everyone! The surge is working!
Iraq is suffering about double the number of war-related deaths throughout the country compared with last year — an average daily toll of 33 in 2006, and 62 so far this year.
• Nearly 1,000 more people have been killed in violence across Iraq in the first eight months of this year than in all of 2006. So far this year, about 14,800 people have died in war-related attacks and sectarian murders. AP reporting accounted for 13,811 deaths in 2006. The United Nations and other sources placed the 2006 toll far higher.
• Baghdad has gone from representing 76 percent of all civilian and police war-related deaths in Iraq in January to 52 percent in July, bringing it back to the same spot it was roughly a year ago.
_According to the Iraqi Red Crescent Organization, the number of displaced Iraqis has more than doubled since the start of the year, from 447,337 on Jan. 1 to 1.14 million on July 31.

Well, they finally got this Vick guy for loosing so many ball games. He’s headed for prision. Us rednecks can’t stand loosing. It binds us all up. You can look it up, they ain’t no little rednecks borned 9 months after the Dawgs or the Falcons loose. If Vick had of took us to the Superbowl he might could kill 30 or 40 people and get by with a small fine. Anyway, I don’t understand why the team can’t get some good white Christian folk to play, instead of loading up with Those People.
Next Saturday my beloved Dawgs start playing and some people say it don’t look too good for them this year. I hope they are all wrong. We flock to the Dawgs games. Just take a look next time the Dawgs go on TV and they show the stands. You might see 100 students and maybe 100 grads and then about 80,000 of us rednecks from trailer parks all over the state. Anyway, if this coach looses a bunch of games he’s gone, Christian or no Christian. He can just pray somewhere else. We will hire the Devil hisself if he wins a bunch of games for us and takes us to a big bowl.
Well, it’s a dull day here at the trailer. They put a ban on outdoor watering so we can’t mud up a hillside and have a 4-wheeler contest. I guess I’ll just have to wait for Sister Dusty to sober up and start posting to get any innertainment.
After church me and the missus is headed to the Golden Corral. They won’t make no money off of her, that’s for sure. That woman sure can eat. She says she has that fat virus and has to eat to fight off the disease. Me, I just keep my hands out of the way while she’s chowing down. I need all of my fingers for my job.

A couple of thoughts:
The guy in Grant Park with the wind turbine is making a political statement - it has nothing to do with producing electricity. There is no measurable wind in the middle of the Georgia summer; which is when the electricity is needed. It might as well be a water wheel.
The ex parte rule bans off-the-record conversations with the groups who have formally intervened in a case (environmental or industrial). These groups have far more advantages than the average citizen - through being directly involved in the hearing, formal testimony, ability to appeal etc.. Which is why numerous Commissions, including the FCC, have similar rules that have withstood court challenges and the test of time.
The line needed to be drawn somewhere and if a lone industry type or environmental group wants to give an opinion, I suppose they would have the opportunity. The fact is, unless directly involved in the hearing, it would be difficult to provide meaningful ideas to the process. It’s not uncommon to receive emails asking us to vote for or against particular aspects of case up until the day of the hearing.
Of course if a certain group thought they would be clever by “gaming” the system and tried to put on a case outside the hearing, they would not be given an audience with me. The Everett Amendment deals with aspects of this issue.

On mike Vick, yes that was not too bright what he did. This will cost him a lot. Money, career, etc. but someone made an interesting point…Bush had caused the deaths of many all in the effort to increase of money into “certain” individuals pockets.
On Clark Atlanta, being that I am an Alumni and had worked there as well, Clark is very disorganized, thievery goes on with the staff there (I know in-depth info on this and names), misappropriation of funds, and just plain being lazy and unprofessional of the staff goes on there. On yeah, I was there in the era of seeing people stealing up to the millions and getting caught and going to jail. So to the students there, I feel you. I know your struggle, fight through it, and kudos to student and parent that are protesting the President getting a pay increase.
On Grady, they should be ashamed of themselves, money being stolen there too, and now the chickens have come to roost on that debt. Begging for money, and making more bad decisions will not help the plight. Better money management will.
