Couple of things

- Expanding bus service to Oconee County and Madison County is something that should have happened a long time ago, but it's nice to see an honest discussion going on. To be honest, though, I'd much rather see a focus placed on the development of an interconnected model system (i.e. light rail or a 'people mover') that would link Northeast Georgia's rural communities with the metro hub of Athens-Clarke County.

- I want to be rather clear on this since, well, it may be construed in a weird way. But, while not excusing the actions of either Donna Dunning or, for that matter former Georgia basketball coach Jim Harrick, Tony Cole is nothing more than a self-serving punk.

- Granted, I think this forum has all the elements of articulated insanity, but whatever. The real question, however, is ... why not? That is, if 'going green' generates new business, is more cost-effective and fosters energy independence then, um, why shouldn't we do it? Ignore massive quantities of scientific evidence if you want, but embrace the economic common sense that strongly suggests green initiatives are a good thing.

- Some bright, intelligent and strikingly handsome young man had a letter to the editor published.

- Speaking of fame, my friend Carissa got quoted in an article regarding 'GMOA On The Move.'
