1. After 120 years of Democratic rule, we Diebolded... er... went Republican.

Georgia has a Lot of money. And it's mostly in the hands of crooks.

The Rove/Ralph Reed machine has Georgia firmly in its grip.

The Rush/Boortz listening white guys here are virtually driven to the polls every November by their talk radio "heroes."

We are doomed.

[Captain Hilts]

2. Something like 75% of all failed Savings and Loan Funds were in TX and CA. And the rest of us paid

for it.

[Laelth]

3. A lot of fee-mining credit card scams too.

The wealthy people here seem to have no qualms about exploiting the poor to further enrich themselves.
