Better Georgia
Gov. Nathan Deal's controversial political appointee Phil Kent called for a culture war on Fox TV yesterday.
Phil Kent How to be offended
Kent started as you would expect, calling the Supreme Court's decisions a "sad day in America." But then, in less than three minutes, he made three shocking statements.
He dismissed the personal struggles of gay couples as "sob stories." He made another comment that drew a sharp response from one of two black panelists: "Thank you for telling me how to be offended."
And at the very end, he saved a special name for all of you who believe in marriage equality.
As a reminder, this is what Gov. Deal's Georgia looks like unless you work to change it.

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
