Re: “First Slice 5/17/13: Whistleblower sues mayor for alleged conflict of interest”
Speaking of which, boy it's been a long time since Stephanie Ramage has been screaming in print. City job shut her up tighter than a drum, eh?
Re: “First Slice 5/17/13: Whistleblower sues mayor for alleged conflict of interest”
@oydave,
Why do you think that Reed is less corrupt than 3 of the last 4 mayors?
The only difference between Reed and Campbell is Reed's PR team.
Re: “Kicking my Coke habit”
I kicked my 3-4 can a day Coke Classic habit 2 years ago. About a month ago I gave one a try and hated it. It was like drinking a can of syrup it was so sugary. It also had a strong taste of vanilla which I must have gotten used to. They taste a lot different when you haven't had one in a long time.
Like InAtl I replaced my Coke habit with water and a squeeze of lemon.

i really hope he isn't going zell miller on us. he's done so much for the world, i would hate to see his reputation tarnished by senility.
Re: “City workers to potentially get $2.8 million in pay raises”
Police, Fire, General employees have been ignored for years!!!! It is time for a good old fashioned work slowdown!!!!Police STOP writing tickets, start reporting crime the way it should be reported.....General employees.....stop picking up trash, stop cleaning roads, fire let people know what is happening....get out there and make sure everyone knows what a joke this city circus and what an asshole this mayor really is!!!!!! He is a crook, a liar, and a cheat......part of the old Jackson legacy!!!! Fuck you Mohamed Kasim Reed!!!!!!!

Translation: I'm running for re-election and I think I can buy your vote on the cheap. And you're too dumb to realize it.

...Come on Dave, you know better than that.
You know that Far-Right CONSERVATIVES are Wingnuts and Far-Left LIBERALS are MOONBATS.
Don't get it twisted.
Re: “City workers to potentially get $2.8 million in pay raises”
That pay raise...if it even comes to fruition, will be likely be followed by an increase in the Atlanta city employees' contributions to their HMO, dental, pension and whatever benefits they receive.
Re: “Jimmy Carter: 'We must do everything we can to discourage marijuana use'”
{{"Jimmy Carter: 'We must do everything we can to discourage marijuana use'"}}
You mean like how we have so effectively "discouraged" marijuana use over the past 40 years of the War on Weedsmokers?
Good luck with that one, Jimmy...
Comeback and tell us how well that one works out for you with states legalizing and decriminalizing marijuana left and right after 40+ years of overzealous enforcement of anti-weed laws have only served to make the drug problem worse by turning marijuana into a gateway drug for deadly drugs like wet, crack, ice, meth and so on.

@ Oydave
Iran, North Korea, Obamacare...and "The Juice"...
Re: “First Slice 5/17/13: Whistleblower sues mayor for alleged conflict of interest”
Given that Kasim Reed ACTIVELY worked to protect Beverly Hall throughout the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal, (thousands of poor and minority children be damned, the "bidness" community is concerned about the "Atlanta brand") is there any surprise someone is questioning his integrity?
Re: “Karen Handel dives into 2014 U.S. Senate race”
"Let the Wingnut Circular Firing Squad fun begin!"
Left-wingnut....
Re: “Karen Handel dives into 2014 U.S. Senate race”
She's only awful in your myopic minds. She should be Guvnor now instead of the Sweetheart Deal.
Now we'll get more hilarious interviews on The Regular Guys...sweet!
Meet your next Senator...though I'm putting no money on that....I will put money on no "D" after the name, though.
Re: “First Slice 5/17/13: Whistleblower sues mayor for alleged conflict of interest”
WTF does Benghazi and IRS have to do with city gummint?
But I'll hang wit you anyway, JF, despiote that lame BS. Get over the stupid stadium already. Cities kick in for pro sports facilities if they want pro sports teams. Let the wankers go play fucking Frisbee.
And he's still less corrupt than 3 out of the last 4 mayors. That's improvement. At this rate, the guy after next will be squeaky clean

I miss Billy McKinney and his switchblade.
Re: “Jimmy Carter: 'We must do everything we can to discourage marijuana use'”
Shut up and go home to Plains already.
What an asshole!
Re: “Grand jury indictment alleges state Rep. Tyrone Brooks, D-Atlanta, misappropriated charity funds”
thanks for letting us in on your meticulous record of how little you care
Re: “City workers to potentially get $2.8 million in pay raises”
The city pays a 13 year firefighter at the level of a 3 year firefighter. Meanwhile call volume has doubled in the last 10 years with less fire engines to respond. The city has cut service despite their claims. We are putting the citizens and FFs at risk and this must be acknowledged before any progress can be made. A world class city with subclass protection.
Re: “Grand jury indictment alleges state Rep. Tyrone Brooks, D-Atlanta, misappropriated charity funds”
12 dislikes combined to date...and yet the possibility of caring any more doesn't seem possible.
Re: “First Slice 5/17/13: Whistleblower sues mayor for alleged conflict of interest”
@ rico from tampico
I agree. Either Hizzoner is paying her well for her silence or (2) he is holding a sword over her head. We will know which after the election.
