Once again, Democrats and their appointed minions look to YOUR pocketbook to fund their excesses.  As widely reported, the Gainesville City Superintendent Dr. Steven Ballowe makes over $210,000 per year (plus benefits that probably include insurance and a free car and free gas for that car).  Janet Allison, the finance chief for Ballowe, says that the proposed...

Candidates pay attention.  Personal Financial Disclosure is required within 15 days of qualifying as a candidate.  Reporting dates for Campaign Disclosure reports are as follows: June 30, 2008; September 30, 2008, October 30, 2008, December 31, 2008.  Other reporting may be required (and I may have this wrong and have to update this post).  Go...

Some of this seems to be a stretch, but the (1) U.S. Flag pin and (2)  “Reverend” Wright issues are interesting.  Watch here.  God Bless America.  Can’t believe anyone calling himself a pastor would say what he says from the pulpit.  And as an added bonus, Ted’s Kennedy’s blunder is hilarious.

Once again Al Dale shows readers of The Times that (1) he can’t think and (2) that he can’t write.  No doubt Al is a Jimmy Carterlover.  No doubt he hates the American soldier just as much as all elite liberals do (like Hillary and Obama).  He personally attacks Ted Oglesby implying that Ted’s comments...

In The Times on Saturday, May 3, 2008 (p5A) Robin Harbin tries to re-write history when it comes to Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter is an embarrassment to Georgia and the U.S.–more now than when he was president.  You can draw a direct line from Jimmy to 9-11.  Bet she did not read that in his library. ...

I hope the title of this post will be a headline that we will see soon, if the facts of the case are how they have been reported so far.  Hall County Residents should not have to fear being murdered by some worthless punk in their own home.  When I was a prosecutor, I always called...

If you are a Republican Candidate for a contested office this year, and did not attend the Top Gun Academy put on my the Georgia Young Republicans, you missed out!  Some of the top election consultants (e.g. Mark Roundtree) and Randy Evans, the General Counsel of the Georgia Bar came to provide “almost free” advice...

I’m in a hurry to get to the Elections Office, but I wanted to be the first to congratulate those who have “won” because they have no opposition: Steve Cronic – Sheriff (60 years since the last uncontested race?  Is that right?) Larry Baldwin – Solicitor General Tom Oliver – Commissioner Chairman (so much for the...

Long time politico and former Gainesville Counselman Mark Musselwhite has not yet come to qualify.  Mark, if you read this, you owe me $1 for the bet I lost that you would be in here today! 30 minutes to go for qualification!

With a high sense of drama, Chris Pattons’s representative dropped of his qualification package with less than an hour remaining for qualification.  She also dropped off Chris’ application for membership in the Hall GOP at the same time.

This morning first thing Marion Merck qualifies for Coroner.  He also renewed his membership with the Republican Party at the same time.  At 11:25 it almost looks like congratulations are in order.

As the race for Clerk of Court got more crowded this afternoon, JC Smith asked that his name be removed from consideration for Clerk of Court and immediately qualified to run for Tax Commissioner against incumbent Keith Echols.  Keith has fought off at least 2 others seeking his post in recent memory.
