Regina Quick subjected to internet whisper campaign attacking her private life

So it seems there is an imposter or at least semi-anonymous poster on the Athens Banner-Herald website onlineathens.com who goes by the seemingly innocuous name of "Obama2012" that has made the same exact post four times in four different articles (all concerning the Regina Quick-Doug McKillip primary race) in an obvious non-whisper campaign at an attempt at somehow backwards besmirching of Regina Quick and questioning her personal live.

There are references to Log Cabin Republicans repeated over and over again in this person's stilted and incongruous post that have almost nothing to do with the tenor or subject of the articles except that it includes Regina Quick.

This reeks of sleazy attacks and dirty tricks, and I have a pretty good idea of who is engineering this stunt (just can't prove it yet). It is par for the course for the GOP to begin to cannibalize their own who does not subscribe to a certain established orthodoxy. The primary season is beginning to boil and fester. We need more substantive issue debates and less personal attacks and questioning people's sexual persuasion by rumor and innuendo.

I seriously doubt that Tim Bryant is going to ask Regina about this as it is a most personal matter and generally unsubstantiated gossip not worthy of a query, but I do not put anything past some of the hired help here in this city. Of course any candidate should be measured by their stand on the issues, not who they do or do not sleep with, but having been the subject of such attacks last year, desperate people resort to desperate means.

Sincerely, 
Dan Matthews

Hello Everyone!

  • Just a QUICK reminder that Regina Quick, candidate for State House District 117, will be interviewed this
FRIDAY, JUNE 1st at 9:00 AM
by radio host Tim Bryant
on AM Station WGAU 1340
*************************************************************************

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT

HOUSE  DISTRICT 117 ENCOMPASSES 4 COUNTIES - parts of:

Clarke, Oconee, Jackson and Barrow

Consequently, many voters are still uncertain as to whether they are in the 117th, 118th or 119th. All voters will be receiving a voter registration card (before the election) denoting what district they are in.
But if you want to confirm your District before then, you can check various maps available on line, but it is a bit of a daunting process. Alternatively, feel free to contact me and with your exact address, I will be happy to check it for you.

THANKS ALL!

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

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. 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...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
