ahhhhh.....
Just as I was settling in on New York being the mother ship of all political crazies, my home state of Georgia comes from behind to try and reclaim the prize.
All the kings horses and all the kings men out in Red State America are manning up to stop the cuumunist take over of our once great country, and a large number of GOP Attorneys General are filing suit against the Federal Government to stop any health care reform , on the basis of states rights. What a fond childhood memory! Gosh, I have not heard the states rights chant, since the Klan used to collect spare change at intersections in Winder, not unlike firefighters or girl scouts! Everyone close your eyes and picture good ole George Wallace in the door way of the University of Alabama.....
Well, it turns out that Georgia elects their Attorney General and OMG, he is a Democrat! ( somebody fetch Miss Pitty's salts...) His name is Thubert Baker, and this is the gist of what he said: I cannot justify a decision to initiate expensive and time-consuming litigation that I believe has no legal merit," Baker wrote in a two-page response to Gov. Perdue. "In short, this litigation is likely to fail and will consume significant amounts of taxpayers' hard-earned money in the process. Oh, yeah, The GOP's there in Atlanta are starting a resolution to IMPEACH Mr. Baker, for you know, not towing the party line doing his job.
Sounds logical, right? HA! Ya'll don't know the boys under Georgia's Gold Dome, and how much those boys from Waycross to NOT want to leave the Cheetah Club and go back to the swamp. [ I need to remember sometime tell ya'll about the double stripper wedding I went to one time, both the bride AND groom were strippers and both wore white, it was fantastic.....] but I am off message. Well, the Obama hating red meaters there in Georgia all went bat shit crazy and started jumping up and down. I mean,two of them split there drinks there at the Cheetah and one dropped the girl giving him his daily lap dance.
Enter the Governor! He huffed and puffed and is going out to find him a " double secret attorney general" to stand up for freedom and justice and the American way. It is good to see the home team taking back a little of the crazy field!

Today's crossover day, so this impeachment business is going to get lost in more important things. It's legislators, not the gov., who are fueling that. Sonny's office was politely quiet, actually, on Baker's action.
Thurbert Baker is a wonderful man, and I have absolutely no doubt in my head or heart that his action was driven by his professional legal opinion rather than his aspirations for Sonny's job.
and bad choice of photos. I thought you were writing about the Emory student who fell off Stone Mtn and died earlier in the week.
I chose that picture because I am, post health care reform, on this neo-confederate kick.. Rick Perry sailing to re-election in Texas, all that Tea Party Anger, and in Georgia , impeaching the Attorney General, for just doing his job. Then this in todays AJC : http://www.ajc.com/news/declare-confedrate-southern-american-405738.html?cxntlid=thbz_hm
ooops, you cant post links in comments, the gist:
The Southern Legal Resource Center is calling on self-proclaimed "Confederates" to declare their heritage when they are counted in the 2010 Census.
The organization is urging Southerners to declare their “heritage and culture” by classifying themselves as “Confederate Southern Americans” on the line on the form, question No. 9, that asks for race. Check “other” and write “Confed Southern Am” on the line beside it, the group says on its Facebook page and on two YouTube videos.
