Couple of things

- Evoking shades of The Karate Kid, Nuci's Space is going to appeal its ruling. More on this in a bit.

- Just as a note of clarity, the dollar is not 'slumping' or anything like it. In fact, a 'weak' dollar suggests a recovering economy as it means our goods are more competitive on the global market.

- Jonah Goldberg - possibly the only pundit less knowledgeable than John Stossel - pens the most absurd analysis in some time. Not only does he cherry-pick and misrepresent the facts, he attempts to suggest President Obama is unpopular because he didn't defeat Michael Bloomberg in New York City.

- I agree with this editorial, but I'd suggest that ReNew Athens should keep its focus on being the housing provider and use collaboration with existing non-profits to provide those services.

- News flash ... teachers in Barrow County aren't allowed to be real people and, apparently, can be fired for not being so.
