Thank God. Broun Jr. will run for the US Senate.


Our prayers have been answered in the 10th District, but we have to be on our guard so we do not have  a United States Senator Paul Broun embarrassing the entire state like he has our Congressional District.

Here is the story fresh from the Washington Post:


Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) will run for the Senate in 2014, he announced Wednesday afternoon. Broun is the first candidate to officially declare his candidacy for the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R).
"We must have someone to lead the fight to stop this madness, and restore fiscal restraint to our nation's capital. Georgia needs a senator who will take a stand to stop the irresponsible spending. I'll be that leader," Broun said.
Broun's decision is not a surprise. His wife said last week that he would make a bid, and the congressman filed paperwork for the race ahead of his announcement.
Broun, a physician, is an outspoken conservative who has stoked controversy with his public remarks. He once said, "All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell." He's also accused President Obama of upholding the "Soviet constitution."
Broun likely won't be the only Republican to join the race for Chambliss's seat. Other names to watch include GOP Reps. Tom Graves, Tom Price, Phil Gingrey, and Jack Kingston, and former secretary of state Karen Handel (R).
On the Democratic side, it's unclear who will emerge. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said earlier this week that he won't make a bid. Reed promoted moderate Democratic Rep. John Barrow  and former Atlanta chief operating officer Peter Aman for the job.

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
