Radical Georgia Moderate

This is a podcast of my Georgia Political and Policy Digest column from late last week:

Length: 3:48 minutes

My Georgia Political and Policy Digest column went up a little late today due to an email issue. Without further ado, Reps. Davis and Bridges: please save some crazy for the rest of us.

There’s an idea for a group project web site in there that I’d love to get y’all’s help on. I’ll repost the details here at a later date.

The Georgia Political and Policy Digest has been added to The Hotline Network. A $4,200 subscription to Hotline is considered part of the price of admission for anyone who wants to be taken remotely seriously as a D.C. lobbyist; sort of like that Reporting 110 professor I had in J-school who always added a question ripped directly off the front page of the local paper to his quizzes. Believe it or not, the riff-raff (me) won’t be kicked off the columnist ledger as a result of this development.

I have a new Georgia Political Digest column and an accompanying Georgia Podcast Network podcast up today. Read and/or listen and be amused as I argue that supporting a minimum wage is in line with free market principles and that the Republican Party is full of socialists.

Jason Pye has already weighed in with commentary on the column.

Read it here or listen to the podcast version here. The word pederast made it past standards and practices!

UPDATE: Check out today’s second GAPN podcast, an episode of Politics is Vocal featuring the Reverend Jim Nelson’s speech from Democratic Convention from a couple of weeks ago.

I had a new Georgia Political Digest column published this morning, which you can read here. It’s in response to Herman Cain’s “Hezbocrat” column at TownHall.com.

UPDATE: Link to the Townhall column fixed.

UPDATE 2: You can read Jason Pye’s take on my column here.

It seems Democratic Secretary of State candidate Gail Buckner plagiarized the Georgia Daily Digest logo on her signs. Observe for yourself:

You can see that it isn’t a similar logo, it’s an identical logo.

Check it, I have a new Georgia Political Digest column.

I don’t know if I ever plugged Grayson’s Georgia Political Digest column or not, so I’m going to knock out two birds with one stone here. First, read the aforementioned column from Grayson about the telecos that picks up where my Bellsouth column left off. She did some actual journal-ma-lism and got quotes.

Second, there’s a new columnist whose first opinion piece came out today. He calls himself the Georgia Oracle, and (according to his bio and an e-mail I exchanged with management) is an executive for a large Georgia corporation who occasionally must appear in the public eye, and therefore writes anonymously.

I’ve got what I consider to be an educated guess as to who he might be, but even if I knew who he is (management was mum), I wouldn’t be allowed to share.

I don’t know if this is my best Georgia Political Digest column, but it’s definitely my favorite. Many thanks to the lovely and talented Amber for pointing me to the historical information used in it.
