As a Georgian, i hate our politicians. I actually like living here quite a bit. The burbs of atlanta have many of the charms of the south (manners! soul food! SWEET TEA!) without a lot of the retarded redneck stuff (because nobody in atlanta is from atlanta. seriously, almost nobody)
But our politicians suck so hard. All of them. Our current governor's response to our drought was to pray for rain. Saxby Chambliss, one of our two senators, took pictures of his opponent and superimposed them with images of 9/11 and osama bin laden in commercials. Oh, and his opponent was a vietnam vet who lost both legs in that war. Classy move Chambliss. We had the crazy screaming congresslady Cynthia McKinney who got asked for idea at the capitol and assualted a cop.
I could go on, but it really never ends here. I'll let my other Georgians fill in the rest of the stories if they wish. #cartoons
You laugh, but that rat video that wasn't even on TV is what gave Georgia to Sonny Purdue. [www.youtube.com]
Ugh, this gov election is going to be a real drag. #cartoons
As a Georgian, I can confirm that Oxendine is a Huge Fucking Douche. He recently proposed building a highway which would run directly through several historic intown Atlanta neighborhoods, all so people from the 'burbs could have an easier commute. Meanwhile, our public transit system is dying from lack of funding. #cartoons
@seriousbummer: Powerful enough to destroy historic neighbourhoods, graceful enough to provide a smooth ride to a suburban commuter's Navigator. #cartoons
Thanks, Gawker. I live in Athens, and sometimes it's too easy to forget what idiots populate most of the rest of the state. That was a nice refresher. And by "nice," I mean it got me to open up a browser tab and start looking for apartments in other regions of the country.
Orwellian, but only people in Hollywood, New York, Washington, and France would understand that. Also, judging from his depicted constituency, everyone in Georgia is white. #cartoons
Reminds me of a line the impressionist David Frye used to say when he was doing George Wallace: "I'm not a bigot. I've always said that any Negro is just as good as any Puerto Rican. I've always said that!"
Every time I see something like this, I pray that it's not in my home state. And too often, it is.
For what it's worth, Paulding County is right on the line between the outskirts of the Atlanta suburbs and Deliverance - it's where white people move when the normal white flight areas are still a little too brown for them.
