Donzella James is a state senator who wants to give Rev. Creflo Dollar, the preacher of jets and luxury automobile fame, a bit of love. She wants to honor him with a stretch of highway in South Fulton County.

The reverend, by his own account, has helped make a mark on the lives of billions (yes, with a B) of folks worldwide. So what's the problem with honoring him with some asphalt?

I can't think of any reason not to do it. Just kidding.
