The lefties are rather mad at me this morning. The other day some of the police officers here in Macon, GA where I’m on city council suggested they were going to form a union. I, in turn, suggested I was going to push to shut down the police department and contract with our local sheriff for police protection. Makes sense to me. A public sector | Read More »
The Barack Obama resolution came up to City Council’s Ordinances and Resolutions Committee on which I sit. I had threatened to bring 100 amendments to Council to shut things down if the resolution made head way. Well, last week, in an unguarded moment I said something very intemperate regarding Justice David Souter. I should not have said it, but I did. I’m not going to | Read More »

Well, the fun continues. I was forwarded this email exchange: Here is the original: From: Kerinsa M Sent: Fri 12/12/2008 5:47 PM To: Lucas, Elaine Subject: banquet Mrs. | Read More »
Let’s review: I’m on City Council in Macon, Georgia. I have an extremely safe seat. And I’m not one to put up with the bullsh** diplomatic niceties that come with small town politics. Some things need to be said in Macon, but people are too damn gun shy. One member of Council, Elaine Lucas, capitalizes on this fact. She punches people and dares them to | Read More »
You’ll have to forgive day two of this. Last night I had a marathon city council session. The interstate through Macon is to be expanded and made safer. The arts and activist crowd that lives no where near the interstate is up in arms over the project because, dare I say it, it’ll bring more people driving through our beloved city. Meanwhile, Pleasant Hill, a | Read More »
