It looks like Atlanta is going out to find itself and spend $15 million in the process of doing so. Atlanta is a very diverse town so it’s not going to be easy to find a way to succinctly convey that diversity in a single brand and I’m not sure that it’s as necessary of […]

Heh, last Thursday I mentioned how Georgia’s state superintendant of education wanst to strike the word "evolve" from the state schools curiculum. Someone in the comments pointed to a website called KathyCoxEvolve.com but the link was broken. I clicked on it again today and it works. Check it out if you have the time.

However, due to a typo in the […]

Gov. Sonny Perdue wants a non-binding referendum on whether or not to keep the current state flag, revert to the previous state flag or revert back to the pre-1956 state flag. I’ve stated before that I believe this to be a good idea. The pro-state-flag-with-the-confederate-emblem group has said over and over that it isn’t so […]
