The 10th keeps getting more and more crowded with right wing nutjobs

Republican online activist William "Bill" Greene of the extremist RightMarch.com and numerous other odd right wing political websites became the latest loose nut to throw his hat in the ring for the 10th District Congressional race this morning in Commerce. I am sure his online supporters will amount to maybe a couple of dozens votes in the June 19th primary. This Greene has participated lots of unsuccessful and unpublicized boycotts of Miller Beer and Bank of America among others, and evidently been on C-SPAN a couple of times thanks to his website bookmark. His radio interview was long on flag-waving and grandstanding and short on specifics as to how to address problems like PeachCare in Georgia.

The biggest looser for this latest entry may be former NFL and Clarke Central football player Willie Green, who shares a similar name to this Braselton/Commerce man.

May many more right wing zealots toss their hat into the ring, the more the better. I think we could hit double figures in candidates by April. Barry Fleming had Doug Barnard ready to manage his campaign, but Fleming pulled out in favor of John Whitehead of Augusta.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
