Hood does good in her first radio interview

Oconee County Board of Education candidate Ashely Hood proved that she does know about the School System of Oconee County quite well today on the Newsmaker Friday show of Tim Bryant's on NewsTalk 1340 WGAU. This was her first interview, but you could tell she knew exactly what she was talking about whether it was the charter school or other topics tossed her way by Bryant. The homemaker and mother of five children - Happy Mother's Day by the way to her and every mother everywhere - has a tall order in taking on and defeating Kim Argo and Carter Brank for Post 3's Republican nomination, which is tantamount to winning the seat since the Democratic party of Oconee County only managed to get one candidate Rich Clark for another post, and that person is not even on their committtee.

It will be interesting to see how all the candidates handle the consortium sponsored debates in a couple of weeks in library. I will predict they wish they had booked the Civic Center instead of the small room of the library with lots of interest by Oconee County voters.

I hereby issue my first official endorsement for Ashely Hood for Post 3 of the Oconee County Board of Education.

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
