|
|
|
| What is your earliest memory? |
| getting my forehead sewn up in the ER when i was 3 |
| |
| What was the last movie you watched? And how was it? |
| at the theater - pan's labrynth, totally rocked |
| |
| Have you ever been a member of another political party besides your current party? |
| oh yeah, used to be a GOPer, then i learned to think for myself. Wasn't looked on very favorably in my neck of the woods. |
| |
| What really makes you angry? |
| drivers who can't seem to figure out where they are or where they are going and think they have the right to my lane as well as theirs,
people who blindly follow what someone else tells them in the name of God, Allah, Barbara Streisand or whomever,
Waiting for a long time to be seen at the doctors office when I have an appointment,
People who say they'll meet you at a certain time and then show up more than 15 minutes late,
Ignorance of easy-to-reach facts,
Outright dismissal of a person's view b/c of their color, gender, gender identity, sex orientation, geographic origin (including being from the south or north),
Fox News...in general b/c they do all the above,
Burning cookies, |
| |
| Describe your ultimate dream vacation. |
| Warm, quiet vacation in a sleepy tropical town with the mate of my choice and an endless supply of tropical drinks, sun & tours together. |
| |
| In your dream world, which candidate/elected official would you most like to work for and why? |
| Probably ideal would be a populist Democrat running for US Senate in Georgia, but may be waiting a while for this one. |
| |
| What was your first political protest/demonstration/rally? How old were you? |
| Hm, I think it was a rally at the Michigan state capitol when I was a kid. There were like 3,000 people there asking for support for charter schools (not the same as charter schools in Georgia) back in like 1984 or 1985 so I was either 9 or 10. |
| |
| What is your favorite ice cream? |
| Have several, but Mayfield's Moose Tracks and Bruster's Rasberry Yogurt are a couple of my favs |
| |
| What really makes you happy? |
| The laughter of family and friends |

2007 Cheers & Jeers: Georgia House Version
After several months of being embedded at the Georgia General Assembly, and after a much needed month of rest and recuperation to recover from it, I wanted to offer some enlightening news about how our esteemed State Legislators came out of this session.
For an explanation of what bills were used for these following comments, see the bottom of the post. Also keep in mind that if a legislator didn't vote at all, they got neither a plus or minus mark for the vote.
Here we go...
