If you want to learn about the social entitlements from those who use them, then this is a can't miss meal for you. This video has absolutely nothing to do with any of that, but is instead an awesome dunk by Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls over Sherman Douglas when the Bulls got their 70th win that magical season.

Prep basketball roundup: Oconee County girls advance to second round

Thank you for all those who packed the house this evening for the first of the bimonthly meetings of the Oconee County Democratic Committee. I was delighted to finally see my favorite columnist of the moment John MacKay and his lovely northern Italian bride of North High Shoals and very grateful to have his spine in defending the Oconee Enterprise newspaper from the slings and arrows of some of our more learned members. I adore Margaret Holt as much as she loves recently anointed DeKalb County Board of Education leader Michael Thurmond and only regret not being interviewed with her about the lexicon of language used locally. I think the idea of her husband Stef about having one idea inspired me to use that as a means of introductions for the next meetings with a definitive idea for each of us to coalesce around. Mine would be reduced to sidewalks. It was good to hear and see from people who are fed up with the lack of alternatives to the Republican status quo. The marketplace of id...

Begin forwarded message: From: "Bryan Long, Better Georgia" < bryan@bettergeorgia.com > Date: February 21, 2013 11:36:28 AM EST To: danjmatt@bellsouth.net Subject: Nathan Deal's lonely stand. Reply-To: "Bryan Long, Better Georgia" < bryan@bettergeorgia.com > Gov. Nathan Deal is in a lonely spot. As a conservative Republican governor, he made a partisan agreement with his fellow governors to oppose Obamacare and fight against the "evils" of providing access to health care for Georgia's poorest residents. But those other conservative governors have abandoned Gov. Deal. Conservative governors like   Arizona's Jan Brewer   know that it makes financial sense to expand Medicaid to provide insurance for their state's poorest families. Yesterday,   Florida Gov. Rick Scott   became the   seventh Republican governor   to support the Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid. Here's a ...
