Finally, a lowly state worker suggested the state initiate license renewal via the internet but not before Bubba and the Repugs’s popularity took a big hit.

We live across BLVD from Roosters next to the purple house with yellow trim! A friend told me you were from Athens and I said. . .nahhhhhh! Hello to you. Raven is our little black cocker, he’s at Big City Bread every morning.

Indeed, I am talking about Poppy Z. Brite. And I remember that apartment on Boulevard. These days I live about a block and a half from there.

I didn’t know I was among such close neighbors, here! Hello, friends!

Good morning, Steve and everybody else.

Hmmm…. – “Least Enlightened Commonwealths” ! “Ignorance Capital of the USA!” – I have a problem with those labels in this otherwise good and informative piece.

One of the single smartest human beings I have ever known was from rural Georgia. She wound up on the teaching faculty of one of the elite medical institutions in the country. Thus I have a problem with the attitude of this article, but still appreciate T-Rex and what he is trying to accomplish.

If you believe that calling one race of people by their historic and horrible epithets is wrong, then you really should also guard against dismissing masses of people simply because they come from a particular state.

We are trying to win popular elections these days, and moreover, your blog as well as Firedog Lake exist to enlighten people. You bring people to the light by showing respect. Yes there are idiots in Georgia, and yes there are politicians who represent the absolute worst in humanity and got elected by praying on the sum of everyone’s fears, but that has happened in every state in the country at least once.

Light candles, Friends. Resist cursing the darkness and/or stooping to a level we don’t want to go.

You may now verbally assualt me at will.

Thank you.

Kudos, Tug. No assault coming from this corner. The state that gave us Coretta Scott, Max Cleland and Jimmie Carter and a hell of a lot of over great people has no reason to keep it’s head down. Scoundrels and idiots flourish in all fifty states and around the globe.

How did you happen to be on the bus, T?

I was a research assistant on a biography that my friend Poppy wrote. Quelle couchemare!! Courtney Love is a heap of dirty laundry that smokes. And swears.

It was over behind Boulevard, I think. This was in the late 80s/early 90s.
