Can someone connect the dots here: Williams brothers get a ridiculous amount of money for what is essentially their mother's tract behind the jail far above market value for the Board of Education for a headquarters that might be built in the latter half of the decade, and then their bank collapses?

I believe Mayor Denson also got sick as a Dawg in Memphis at the Liberty Bowl after watching Georgia's horrible performance against the University of Central Florida in the Liberty Bowl. That is what I call karma. I understand how gratis tickets work, having been in the media for a couple of decades and getting in free for several hundred sports and musical performances as well.

Friend -- I am thrilled to make sure you are the first to hear some very exciting news. Charlotte, North Carolina, will host the 46th Democratic National Convention in 2012. Charlotte is a city marked by its southern charm, warm hospitality, and an "up by the bootstraps" mentality that has propelled the city forward as one of the fastest-growing in the South. Vibrant, diverse, and full of opportunity, the Queen City is home to innovative, hardworking folks with big hearts and open minds. And of course, great barbecue. Barack and I spent a lot of time in North Carolina during the campaign -- from the Atlantic Coast to the Research Triangle to the Smoky Mountains and everywhere in between.
