My friend Stephen took the time to write some very clear & concise thoughts on the recent ruling against the Bush administration’s “enemy combatant” policy regarding Gitmo detainees … particularly the concept of holding them for extend periods of time without clear charges.
My thoughts on the subject are bordering on the rantings of a libertarian nut …
Now that Manic Monday and Super Tuesday have given way to Kryptonite Wednesday, I should retell my adventures voting in the presidential primary.

If you haven’t heard, the economy is a little rough right now. Not as rough as one might be lead to believe watching the news, but bad enough that politicians want to look like they’re doing something useful.
I’d like to thank my state and local officials for making another lame attempt to solve the Georgia drought. The total inability for a coastal state to try and find sources for water is a little embarrassing (hint: how do you think all of those African deserts get water).
So what’s our latest plan … prayer? I think we’re taking the wrong approach.

On behalf of the residents of Loganville, Georgia, I would like to apologize again for the crazy ramblings of Laura Mallory and her failing campaign to remove Harry Potter novels from public school libraries. Not everyone in my town is a religious nutjob who uses other people’s perceptions of fictional characters to ban a book from a school library.
I hope Laura Mallory spends as much effort parenting her children as she does trying to insert her beliefs into the lives of other people’s kids. If she is not pleased with how government schools handle their libraries, she can send her children to a number of fine private institutions in Gwinnett and/or Walton County.
Pardon me as I go back to work … now that more of my tax money has been wasted defending another one of Laura’s frivolous lawsuits, I see another property tax increase in my future.
