Georgia, the laughing stock, wants to go an extra mile

I went to a Student Government Association meeting on campus yesterday. Aside from the dearth of women representation, I was very, very impressed with the way they conduct their business. I only hope they can carry that skill—that earnest idealism—off into their adult lives. And that maybe they will run for office one day.

Because the state of affairs up in Atlanta is truly embarrassing. As a public defender up in CT observes, we face a criminal justice meltdown here in Georgia. And this is our legislature in action…

Wonkette gets a chuckle that the battle has nothing to do with slavery, it’s for Huckabee Lane. Some more local reaction here.

LATER: In This land is WHOSE land? Facing south has some Tennessee reaction.
