Where were the Democrats when Bush defeated Kerry? They were not trying to unite behind the president. Don't ask me to support socialism.

There's nothing wrong with Tuesday's election that intelligent voters can't cure in four years.

New Sharks at the Georgia Aquarium...Great, just what we need, more lawyers!

So long Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Your race baiting tactics are needed no more.

Why can't we get through Thanksgiving before Santa shows up at the mall? The anticipation is half the fun, and this greed is what has gotten us where we are now.

Perhaps now Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation will have something else to write about except the plight of the poor black male.

Hey Rev. Wright, the media was not the weapon of mass destruction; it appears your super-sized racist mouth was.

Like it or not, I'm going to use the word Christmas, after all, JESUS is the reason for the season.

You asked for it, I hope you are ready for the change... cause that is all you're gonna have in your pocket...

A year from now I don't want to hear those Obama voters crying about the 'change' they really got.

I knew Circuit City was done when they stopped customer service and began hiring employees with bad attitudes and a total lack of respect for the customer. The only surprise is how they lasted so long.

Stop supporting thug culture and possibly our youth will grow up to pay bills, be happy on a budget and raise their kids right.

It appears we are on the slippery slope of a press that will only tell us what we are "supposed" to know. That's what happens in China and Russia... it is not supposed to happen in America.

Twenty-eight year old minister of a little country church declines the raise he was offered; take note greedy AIG execs!

I sure have seen a lot of mutilated McCain Palin signs. The Obama backers are a real class group!

John Lewis and a windbag...separated at birth - his indefensible statements makes him an unrepentant racist.

A sure sign that we've been brainwashed...I filled my tank at $3.09 a gallon, boy was I happy until I saw it at $2.99. I almost drove around for an hour...just so I could buy some at that price!

'Real Housewives' does for Atlanta's image what Fannie Mae did for the stock market - besides, there's not a single peach in the bushel!

AFTERTHOUGHT: 'The Real Housewifes' should be women who were born and raised in Atlanta. 12 years living in Atlanta does not make you a Georgia Peach. And your attitude certainly is not one of a Georgia Peach. Southern you are not!

If we're in such bad economic times, why can't I find a parking space at the mall?

I'm frightened by the fact that tomorrow's leaders are being raised by today's parents.

With such a high percentage of Atlanta's police Dept having criminal records, they are sure to recognize a crime when they see one.

If the illegals do leave, will our government will have more money?

A killing campaign in Iraq has 3,000 Christians running for their lives and this is what we spent the past seven years fighting for?

How many fat-cat executives are going to walk away with their golden parachutes totally intact after running not only their companies, but the economy into failure?

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Let me get this straight. $700 billion (that's with a B) is too much but $850 billion is Okay?

Is it REALLY news that Clay Aiken is gay? I mean seriously.

Thank goodness the people who are defined as God-less, socialist, fascist, who endorse lack of values and will be voting for Obama are the loud-mouthed minority.

Has anyone else noticed that we are reliving the same world economic and political events that led up to the last two world wars? History does indeed repeat itself!

360 October Vent

This is my three-hundred and sixtieth blog topic (344 here, plus 16 from the old 360 site). What more appropriate way to observe this than to vent? It doesn't help to complain except to make you feel better....

I get it now. Let’s drill in the Gulf of Mexico, and off the Florida and Georgia coasts. Thus, we can increase greatly the odds of future fuel shortages. Hurricanes can then shut down the rigs off any one of five states rather than just Texas.

This mess is happening because home ownership went from being the American dream we work for, to the right of every American no matter what their credit score.

If we had started drilling and building refineries off the East Coast 10 years ago, there would be no gas shortage now. Thank the environmentalists for long gas lines.

When the next typhoon is predicted for Guam, I will run right out and fill my gas tank.

I look forward to the Good Old Days when we can once again moan and groan over $4 per gallon gas instead of worrying about finding gas.

Hurray for the Florida University System for not disqualifying Clayton County, GA students because of the misdeeds of the school board. All universities should follow suit.

It’s not the licensed gun owners that you need to worry about. They are the ones that follow the rules.

The ship the USS Economy is sinking, and Congress is rearranging the deck chairs.

Most of the roads we drive on today are paid for by taxes, naturally. In the near future, we will still pay those taxes, but the roads will all be toll roads. We will then be allowed to pay for the roads twice.

The good news about the Dawgs on Saturday night is they have already taken their annual drubbing by a SEC team before Tennessee comes to town this year!

All things considered, maybe the governor should have canceled the UGA vs. Alabama game.

Sonny, please bring me some gas back from Europe. I am willing to pay their prices rather than drive around looking for gas.

Anyone who believes that deregulation is always a good thing only has to look at what’s happened with greedy corporations and irresponsible financial institutions to realize the error of that belief!

Let’s stop waiting for ideal circumstances before we do anything. They never come.

I have a 'married couple-friend' who spents $1,000 per year to home school their children, and $6,000 per year to send them to private school. The state spends nearly $10,000 per year to educate each child. And the government wonders why they support vouchers?

According to Joe Biden, we should denounce the participants in the Boston Tea Party. Hmmm!

Much is made of McCain’s age. Obama smokes and both of his parents died at an early age. Biden has had two brain aneurysms that could have killed him. If they both died while in office, that would leave Nancy Pelosi as president!

Has anyone warned Sarah Palin not to go hunting with VP Dick Cheney?

Politics aside, we need to all pray for our country right now harder than we’ve ever prayed before.

Sunday Vent

You know you have too much stuff when you clean out your closet and find a new pair of shoes you’ve never even worn!

OK, all you self-designated geniuses leading banks and stock markets into the cellar, take a deep breath and repeat this mantra: I am not a genius.

I would be more impressed if instead of a candidate saying, “I am so-and-so and I approved this message,” they said, “I am so-and-so and I WROTE this message.”

Sarah Palin must really be scaring you liberals! Joe Biden is hiding from her.

What I need to hear from Wall Street is more clickety-click of handcuffs.

Where did you find cartoons ridiculing Obama? The cartoonists seem to have declared him off-limits.

How bad does the energy crisis have to get before all motorized “sport” is banned and the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels are grounded?

I’m glad those Russian soldiers finally pulled out of most of Georgia. But to tell the truth, I never did see any of them in Bibb County.

It takes brains to earn that money to buy those luxury cars with Obama bumper stickers. Incidentally, my Mitshubishi gets 40 mpg on the highway. How does your suv/truck do?

Barack Obama would have about as much success talking peace with al-Qaida, Hezbollah and Hamas as Jimmy Carter would have converting them to be Southern Baptists.

Regarding the financial crisis: Danger, Will Robinson, danger!

So Matt Damon went to Haiti to help victims of Hurricane Ike. What, he couldn’t find any here?

John McCain said the fundamentals of the American economy are strong. Previously he said he really didn’t understand the economy. One of those statements is true.

Has anyone else noticed lately that the most inconsiderate and dangerous drivers around Atlanta have Obama bumper stickers?

Last Day of August Vent

So you like the "I HAVE A DREAM" speach? Thats good, listen. He did not say drop out of school, have 10 kids before you reach 24, live off the taxpayers. What he said was get off your lazy butts and make something out of your life. Maybe time to listen?

Wow. Atlanta, GA has two zoos now. One at Grant Park and the other at city hall.

Clayton County, GA loses SACS accreditation and the first thing some of the parents do is take their kids out of school? You gotta be kidding me. That says far more about the parents than the school board.

If the NAACP was taken to task everytime they make a racist comment, this practice would quickly come to a grinding halt. The political leaders continue to do it as they see no public uprising from their leaders. Look at Jess Jacksons comments and racial slurs on Osama Obama?

So teachers in Texas are now carrying guns. This would never happen elsewhere; not because people are against guns, but they're afraid the teachers will actually have to use them.

When the college coaches are out scouting for new talent, are they performing background checks on potential college athletes? I guess not since so many are getting in trouble with the law.

Is it just me or did Hillary look like a big construction cone the other night? Geez! We could have seen her in the dark!

There's a local company that posted job listings 6 months ago for an immediate hire date. As of today those same job postings are still available. Are these companies trying to fill these positions or is it a ploy to make the economy not as bad as it seems?

Translation of the Price-Waterhouse Grady Hospital report: There's no free lunch. If someone doesn't start paying for the health care services they receive, nobody will receive any service because the hospital will close.

Ah, yes, It's college football season; that time when the dream of your team winning the national championship hasn't yet been ruined by the lunacy that is the BCS or the losers at ESPN or ABC Sports.

I appreciate the Immigration Service finally earning their pay by raiding companies that employ illegal aliens. I encourage them to pick up the pace.

Florida has gotten 24-plus inches of rain in some areas. Maybe now we can stop emptying Lake Lanier of the water we have left.

My friend's daughter is now away at college, but before she left complained that I was using offensive four letter words in her presence. Words like work, earn and save.
