Georgia has passed a law allowing guns in public schools.
Georgia also passed, some years ago, a ban on guns inside the Capital Building in downtown Atlanta.
Sadly, I read this very short story about a 7 year old being shot 'accidentally' in a public school. No details yet on who had the gun or why. No full reports on the injury to the child. The child could be dead.
So, if I can, I will report on guns in schools and children shot by parents, teachers, and other adults.
Because, guns don't kill. Parents, teachers, cops, firemen, adults, and students kill.

Governor Nathan Deal forces prayer on private citizens
I should have more courage. Maybe I have too much common sense.
Why in Hell's finest tradition are Georgia government organizations forcing me to pray?
No one has a right to tell me, "You will pray. You will pray now. You will pray in this manner."
No one has that power. Well, except for Nathan Deal's government in the form of schools, football games, public meetings, and courthouses.
Let's blame it on the Pilgrims or at least the little band later named the Pilgrims. Of 109 passengers on the Mayflower, only 50 could be called religious. Four were children more or less kidnapped from their parents as punishment for adultery. How loving a church to take in illegitimate children, hide them from their natural parents, transport them 5,000 across an ocean, and force the children to pray. To a specific pastor. To a specific dogma.
When I see a version of the 10 Commandments on public land, that is Nathan Deal telling me, "Read these religious laws and Obey."
When I'm at a Hall County Board of Commissioners' Meeting and it is announced that someone will lead us in prayer, it means you will pray in the name of Nathan Deal's government. Now. In this manner. In front of the cameras.
The next time Nathan Deal says, You will pray, I'll think of four children stolen from their natural parents and forced into religious dogma in a strange new world.
That is, until I have enough courage to refuse Nathan Deal.

Georgia law allows gun sales in vending machines.
The new vending machines were opened today with a public ceremony featuring Governor Nathan Deal, Judge Judy, and three other idiots.

I only wish I had made this up.

“Millions of people in Georgia lack access to quality firearms,” the governor said in a signing statement. “This bill will finally bring handguns from top manufacturers into every neighborhood and hopefully every household.
“By helping more Georgians to defend themselves, we expect this bill to lower crime significantly. By the end of my second term murder, rape and armed robbery should be nearly eradicated.”
I only wish I had made this up.

The letter from Rick Frommer
In a recent letter to the editor, the writer alleges a 1960's conspiracy to stop profitable recycling of nuclear waste. According to the authror, the massive conspiracy stopped civil rights legislation, defeated General Westmoreland in an election, and preserved corruption in the Democratic Party.
I remember the Sixties. So do many other people. It would do well to remember the facts in that decade.
Young President John F. Kennedy proposed civil rights legislation in 1963. The 1964 Civil Rights Act came to a Congressional vote and was signed by President Lyndon Johnson on July 2, 1964, just months after Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas. Among the nay votes were Democrats and Republicans with every Southern Republican voting against the new law. Southern Republican refers to the Congressman from the 11 states which constituted the Confederate slave states a hundred years earlier. In the Senate, 69% of Democrats voted for the bill.
Johnson would sign the 1968 Civil Right Act before leaving the White House. Hardly a Democratic conspiracy to stop civil rights legislation.
General Westmoreland didn't retire from the military until 1972. His military service and career were stained by US involvement in Vietnam and his several decisions to suppress military reports. Suppressing information hit a low point in 1968 when the Calley massacre cover-up lasted 13 months. Westmoreland left Vietnam after the horrific losses of the 1968 Tet Offensive. His unsuccessful political campaign was in 1974 not in the Sixties.
No President has been as corrupt as Republican President Richard Nixon who was elected in 1968. Nixon used what is know as the Southern strategy in national politics. The strategy was to appeal to the white Southern racist called "Negrophobe whites" by Nixon's people.
As to profitable recycling of radioactive waste in the 1960's? Not possible. Not possible today. Although Governor Deal and others like the Heritage Foundation have made false reports of successful efforts in the UK and France. The UK and France are actively seeking underground disposal options and not any mythical recycling program.
The UK offers 'bribes' to communities to consider storage of its 260,000 cubic meters of radioactive waste.
France had 1.32 million cubic meters of nuclear waste in 2010, a 13% increase over 2009.
People have been trying to explain how the world works since we first walked upright. Lying about the past isn't new. Lying about nuclear waste is just tool of Republicans.

Honey? Did you leave your cannon shell in the bedroom again?
File this one under cannon nuts epic fail.
Some gun owners were having a little fun at a gun show with their cannon, a US military 105 howitzer. For the novice gun nut, that's a cannon used in wars like ... Iraq, Afghanistan, WWII ....
So the gun nuts loaded their cannon using all the right safety precautions. They carefully aimed it using the proper Kentucky windage adjustments, and fired.
They missed the broadside of the barn. The field it sat in. The farm. All the little animals.
But, they nailed a house over 3 miles away. Epic miss.
What did the gun show people say? The followed all the safety rules. We've never seen a cannon shell go up in the air like that. It was Obama's fault. It's perfect for home defense. Gun owners have rights.

Deal done by Deal for Real
Okay. So I make half of this stuff up.
Goobernator Dave E. Deal has cut a deal for a golden parachute with the State Department of Education. As a part of the done Deal, Deal gets $107 million dollars to write a standardized test which matches Common Core tests.
Yeah. Right. Deal doesn't want Common Core. He will campaign against it if he's not in jail this fall.
So what does it cost now to double test kids in Georgia schools. According to the AJC,
So if Deal doesn't get his Deal, Georgia pays $25 million for 'budget constrained' tests in five grades.
But Deal got his Deal so Georgia pays him $107 million dollars.
So somebody got hell of a deal by Deal's deal. About $75 million dollars has been flown out of Deal's ass for testing to Common Core Standards. Testing he refused to do for $25 million dollars.
Tell me you don't believe education gets pig piles of public phunding.
BTW, you can check out some of my lies at this here link.

So what does it cost now to double test kids in Georgia schools. According to the AJC,
According to AJC, Georgia spends $25 million now on all assessments in K-12, including end-of-course exams and financial assistance to students to take Advanced Placement tests. PARCC reportedly set a maximum cost to states of $18.50 per student (though PARCC would not confirm that figure). Based on the number of students who took English/language arts and math tests in Georgia this year, the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT), the hypothetical cost of the PARCC tests by themselves would max out at $27.5 million. (The CRCT is normally given to grades 1-8, but this year, due to "budget constraints," it was only given in grades 3-8.)
So if Deal doesn't get his Deal, Georgia pays $25 million for 'budget constrained' tests in five grades.

Guns everywhere stance already kills innocent bystander
Self defense is a bitch if you've been drinking. It must happen like this:
Someone bumps your elbow just as you're lifting your beer bottle. Instead of hitting your mouth with gently rounded lips of a high quality beer bottle, your stick your nose in beer. Snorting warm beer and rich beer foam, you turn quickly to identify the careless lout who spilled three cents worth of your $3.75 beer.
Following standard Cowboy bar protocol, you snarl, "Watch it, buddy!"
Robert DeNiro spins around with a cocky look and says, "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?"
Then, things move outside for more theatre and weak insults. Insults outside bars used to be so robust and nearly lethal in the days before the Guns Everywhere Law. Since then, no one really cares to whip out a cutting 'Yo Moma' quip. Now it's whip out the semi-auto 9 mm with 17 shot capacity, a bayonet mounted on the accessory rail.
Yes. A bayonet not a laser sight. Only a wuss uses a laser sight in a bar shooting.
Triggers are gently massaged. Steely eyed combatants close one steely eye to save their night vision and exchange salvoes.
Now here's the next set of rules, if you're wounded but standing, you stagger around in front of the onlookers saying, 'He shot me. Look. I'm shot. Why did he have to do that?'
If you're on the ground, wounded or not, shout, 'Help me up. I'm going to kill that guy who killed me before I die. I swear.'
If you're unwounded and still standing after your 17 shots, Run! Run like hell you coward because you've probably shot 17 innocent people killing at least one.

Governor Nathan Deals signs guns everywhere law. Guns already everywhere
FedEx worker disguised as Rambo shot 6 people in Kennesaw, Georgia.
A suicidal young girl in White County, Georgia takes a gun to school.
New York police arrest a Georgia family for selling 155 guns to one undercover cop.
There is a hero in Kennesaw, a 28 year old unarmed security guard, still in critical condition, tried to stop the Kennesaw shooter. He's in a medically induced coma fighting to recover.
Unarmed teachers at the White County high school took two hours to talk the young girl into handing over the gun while SWAT picked their teeth in the parking lot.
And in New York where the Georgia gun runners were arrested? Most of the guns in New York are from the wonderful Southern States with guns anywhere, anytime laws.
"I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any changes in the laws in those states," Bratton said Wednesday. "That is what it is and we deal with the impact of it."
Let's make it clear to my dear Governor. You and the Georgia GOP are the Godfathers of murderer. You enable the gun deaths on the mean streets. You kill cops. You orphan children and you kill children.
You're a bastard.
Rot in Hell.
