Couple of things

- Charlie Maddox, who ran against Mayor Heidi Davison in 2006, was not reappointed to a fourth term as the executive director of the Athens Housing Authority. Maddox is giving it another try for mayor in 2010, and there's ample speculation this was a political move against him. Of course, that's a simplistic line of reasoning, and Davison's rationale for the non-appointment is perfectly logical (and non-political, particularly given the fact Maddox was reappointed in 2004 prior to the 2006 election).

- Martin critiques Ben Harbin at Tondee's Tavern.

- It ain't perfect, but at least they're matched up near existing holidays.
