I always found it ironic that UGA has the Battle Hymn of the Republic as its fight song (if they still do.) General Sherman would be amused and bemused about that.
I was a reporter and editor back when newspapers were popular and meaningful. I've been in 50 states and nine provinces. I was a boy reporter in Georgia who covered Jimmy Carter when he ran for governor in 1966. I met him again in Canada many years later.

The smile on this guy's face is quite telling. He knows how ridiculous this is.
Anyone who would have to hear an explanation of what's wrong is already a lost cause.
It happened to the Philippines president for similar offenses. It should happen here.
It's far from their worst offense, but the use of crude language by these Magats in high office is quite disgusting. Not exactly a reflection of family values and Christian messaging. (And, yes, many Democratic leaders also think they're really cool for peppering social media posts with profanity.)
A football footnote: The hateful nitwits are not only erasing rainbow chalk, they are eliminating anything on streets and sidewalks all over Florida, no matter how innocuous or non-controversial. In Jacksonville, the Jaguars' paw prints near the stadium are now painted over in black squares.

Putting down mulch in a park. They can't be everywhere.
Cold-blooded murder of innocents, however else it might be defined.
Never a good idea ... especially not good with a dumb, narcissistic commander.
But an executive order could change the 2+2 calculation.
In any case, many editors advised that we nix any use of jab.
P.S. ... I temporarily forgot that this was mainly true during my newspaper days in Canada, whose English borrows heavily from British usage.
It started out in newspaper headlines, whose writers were eternally in search of short synonyms to fit the available space.
He's busy sending the state's National Guard to Washington. Helping spread mulch, presumably.
Making the move from "seldom watch" to "never watch."
That's fine, but all these politicians suddenly unable to express themselves without it look like school kids trying to be cool and all grown up. They might also consider the risk of needlessly offending at least some of the voting population.
Mr. Martin: When did the party change the rules to require that every social media post must include profanity in any or all of its varieties?
Cats exist in your presence. They believe that is more than enough reward for you.
Any idea what CYO might stand for (in relation to a digital coupon for a grocery store's rewards program)? The store uses all these obscure or meaningless terms to complicate their marketing.
True, and some of them even care.
Corrupt and egomaniacal must be added.
Not a hot war, at least.
A crime, but no war to even try to justify it.
Is Trevor likely to be active?
He's just another also-ran in the Craziest Congressperson competition.
Too bad Cassidy didn't say that.
Massie is already being persecuted by his own party. Greene is on the verge of that.
I have not yet seen any mention of how/why the military determined the identity and mission of this boat. Any links available? (It looks more like a boat full of migrants to me.)
Little children are not in a position to exercise this "freedom of choice." Smarten up.
Clam chowder (Manhattan style) on the British Columbia Ferries. . . . A beef and gravy dish with dill pickles in Austria. (The more inaccessible they are, the more one longs for them.)
No one is disputing any of that. (Except Trump and his rabid supporters.)
Why is Trump so adamantly blocking release? 1. There have been numerous reports of his name being noted in the files and presumably the most damaging mentions redacted. 2. If Trump is among those who directly abused these girls, isn't it likely this would somehow have been exposed by now?
You'd think that CNN would realize no Magats watch CNN, and there's no one else who might care to hear Jennings.
If Trump is to be directly implicated, seems it should've happened by now.

We desperately need to elect David Jolly.
How can a noble institution like Harvard turn out so many crackpots and nitwits?
By the other way, you mean Fox News?
That's a "filler," one among a large collection of random facts used to fill out the leftover vacant space after a story's conclusion. (They were common in newspapers in the days before computerized pagination.)
Did Trump ever learn which state it is in?
I'd rather have you in charge of the FBI than the fool who's there now.
She's running for governor so doesn't have to fear a congressional primary challenge.
A couple of times we have needed prescription medicine in other countries and any legitimate pharmacy was able to provide it. At a reasonable price, too.
I noticed his name tag. This is the fine young astronaut Jim Bob (Luther) Cooter-Armstrong.
Those who advocate such punitive nonsense are also showing callous disregard for the huge minority populations in the states they vilify.
Evil and stupid is a sad combination.
True, but there were some legitimate questions leading to the speculation overload: The bruising, the fake golfing photos, the change in usual weekend routine.
I've been reading Bissinger's The Mosquito Bowl, which you're probably familiar with. So many cruelties and atrocities I never imagined.
America trusts you, sir.
Of all the corrupt shenanigans, the strategic closing of urban polling stations might be the most difficult to overcome. There has to be a plan: transportation volunteers or whatever.
The slaughter of schoolchildren is very much a national emergency and has been for a long time.
Those all sound like "official duties." Let's do it.
This is most likely included in the article, but it's worth remembering that nearly 250,000 died in the Battle of Okinawa not long before Hiroshima. Of those, some 150,000 were Okinawa civilians.
Send in the Army to keep it that way!
She was sane at one time, I believe.
Good luck. (Maybe a nice, civilized brewery taproom; or a sports bar with 75 TV sets.)
I did read a reference to cockfighting, but that's one of those things I don't like to think about.
Any thoughts, Rep. Crank? >>REP. CRANK VOTES TO HELP KEEP ILLEGALS OUT OF U.S.
Inspiring indeed. I don't know why he has a white apron on his backside, but there must be a good reason.
That is one of the many great casualties of the Trump era. The nation's capital is (or at least has been) a city of great beauty and well-preserved, accessible history. All Americans should see and enjoy it.
>>Early settlers had a normal relationship with chickens, keeping them in coops. This was before railroads or bridges, so feeding oneself was vital. As Key West became connected to the mainland there became less of a need to raise your own food, and many chickens were released or escaped.<<
But it is good advice.
Easier said than done with all the poll closings, isn't it?
No need to let facts spoil a good story.
I enjoy seeing the chickens run free in Key West. Live and let live.
The medal became worthless with Rush Limbaugh.
What's the story behind the object being thrown from a WH window, and where did the image come from?
And that mystery was never solved, alas.
Matthew Dowd is normally worth listening to, but it's odd how he pooh-poohed all the speculation right after admitting he hadn't even been on social media for the last few days.
I wanted to like this site because there are so many truly awful examples of bad grammar in common use these days, but as I feared it starts right off with trivial nitpicking.

Hello Dahlia.
Another of our theoretical rights.
MSNBC this afternoon mentioned the Internet speculation but basically just scoffed at it.
Poll tax wasn't very subtle either.
I look forward to seeing the thousands of different insect species. And all the venomous serpents.
It's worth noting that while many (maybe all) presidents have had many people disliking or despising them, none others have actually been wished dead by multitudes.
Where is the "Do not remove" part. It definitely belongs here.
200 rushing, 200 passing. ... "To put everything in balance is good." — Victor Hugo
Try grok.
Great recruitment poster here.
My favorite job is the first one I had: Official scorekeeper at age 12 for Little League games. Pay was $1 per game, more than adequate.
I learned about this only recently upon reading a great novel, This Tender Land (William Kent Krueger.)
They will no doubt comply, rather than risk being beheaded.
Source?
Still dead after all these years.
How soon might these cases be resolved?
Saudi Arabia allows comedy?
It definitely can be that way, but it can also be served way too mushy and greasy.
Caucasians can be born anywhere they like!
I believe "acts of war" are a standard exclusion. But how would war be defined?
This must be from the chapter titled "How Not to Write a News Story."
The Peter Principle implies having been competent in previous positions. None of Trump's gang fits this description.
How can Rudy afford his own security detail? Did he ever pay the judgment against him?
Don't be annoying, Max! (Already got two likes for the post; many thousands will follow.)
They must have a very big sunrise celebration.
Our local clinic's lab for cardiology tests bills insurers and patients for a hospital visit (fees and co-pays far more expensive.) The affiliate hospital is 25 miles away.
Only 30% of the world's population is Christian (and most of them in name only.)
KC is yesterday's news.
