Georgia Democratic Senate nominee Michelle Nunn at Little Kings in Athens, Georgia


Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate from Georgia Michelle Nunn came an addressed a packed house at the Little Kings Shuffle Club in Athens, Georgia at noon today.

She talked about strategy to defeat newly minted GOP nominee David Perdue in the brief address.

Nunn talked about her father after a question from Dean Rusk's son Rich Rusk. She thanked her father for some advice and appreciated his input.

Nunn mentioned an email from Hank Aaron going out asking for donations of $7.55 this morning in a money bomb strategy showing how she had hit the ground running.

I also received a plea from Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio.










Considering the quick time for organizing the event, the room was very well packed for a noontime gathering in Athens.

Among the current or former elected officials in attendance at the event were Melissa Link, Mayor Nancy Denson, Cardee Kilpatrick and 10th District congressional candidate Ken Dious.

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

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 Larry used
