Couple of things

- I think the logic is somewhat muddled on this editorial. If you concede that tax reform is a good thing and if you concede that Georgia's schools have been underfunded under Gov. Sonny Perdue and if you concede that Georgia has seen its performance drop off at the same time the underfunding has been taken place ... then it doesn't seem consistent to all of a sudden argue for increased performance to justify restored funding.

- This is becoming more and more frustrating the longer it drags out. It seems as if everyone else is supportive of the partnership except Oconee County Commissioner Chuck Horton and Oconee County Chairman Melvin Davis.

- I'm lukewarm to this, but I think Bernita at BfD is clearly overreacting.

- Lee Becker previews the discussion on a mitigation resolution.

- Athens World discusses area merchant violating their agreements with credit card companies - and the minimum purchases at downtown bars comes to mind - but it does seem that there's either a component we're missing here or that the policies are just minimally enforced.

- Matt Yglesias uses, you know, actual data to show the benefits of The Great Society.

- 0-for-3, you say ... with three strikeouts?
