i have met many people in augusta who seem to ramble and are relatively incoherent but i’ve never seen anything that absurd in print until i read (attempted,anyway) lasts week on the back page some mashed up thing that made so little sense i thought I MUST BE STONED because this is incomrehensible, but unfortunately, i was sober... just shows weed will scramble what little gray matter you started with... wow Hey can we get a Hostess-maker here? Maybe where the former Regency Mall is taking up moldy space? That’s just what Augusta needs, more unhealthy products produced to place on all the buffets. The daily paper has ramped up the costs so that a lot of people can no longer afford it. “Metro Spirit,” when can you be ready to print a daily, PLEASE? Or at least a thrice weekly paper? How about twice weekly? Let’s have evening broadcasts of the commission meetings. It will be a great nighttime soap opera with crying jags and comedy spots. Better than some of the shows currently provided on non-cable channels. Since JR’s gone, let’s get Marion on for show. Want to stop mass murders by guns? First of all stop the mass murder of abortion. And get over that “I have rights” crap...as a matter of fact...you don not. Respect human life. ALL human life. What fun 2013 is stacking up to be: Marion Williams back on council...sure to be entertaining. Ruffin back in the Spirit...sure to be regurgitating. Brad Owen around to tell us how everything is supposed to be...according to Brad. The Harrisburgers... always in great form. The Metro Spirit - missing the mark again... and again...and again. Entertainment abounds in the AUG. the solution is -- all these criminals in prison need to be on the (6am to 6pm - monday thru saturday) chain gang - (there is a lot of work they can do instead of having taxpayers dollars paying for the work to be done or find a rock quarry or something to keep them physically busy) instead of living in(side) prison paradise like they are free and at home) - only sundays off & not enjoying all these liberties such as college enrollment, tv`s, computer access, playing sports games, body building training (most are bigger than the guards who monitor them) etc... during monday thru saturday & tv`s monitored on

sundays like watching the history channel, discovery channel, etc.... nothing to watch to arouse them sexually or violently. remember the movie “ cool hand luke “ starring paul newman. every governor of the state need to implement this method in their jail & prison system. jails and prisons are supposed to be established for punishment & not pleasure. in the movie they were worked sunup to sundown & were obviously tired to do anything crazy after working hard every day. today`s jail & prison system in America encourage crime. Unfortunately for Baltimore Raven linebacker Ray Lewis, his Hall of Fame career screeches to a halt next week at the Denver Broncos. #52 can take that insipid, DoodleBop dance with him as he leaves the thin air of Denver. The only question left is how many times the televising network will show that stupid dance. My guess says MORE than 10,000 times. The whiner whining about Columbia County drivers is so right. They drive like they have no concern for anyone else. For example, the lady who I was behind on Washington road Saturday, driving 35 miles an hour in the left lane (yes you old lady, in your little blue Hyundai). Then she brakes and STOPS IN THE LEFT LANE OF TRAFFIC to let another person get in front of her! There was no reason that person had to have the left lane that very moment, he didn’t even turn left for 5 miles! People stopping in front of me in the left lane of traffic is how I got rear-ended TWICE. Your lucky I was not driving or you would have gotten the honking of your life. This goes for the rest of you...if you are driving stupidly, I’m going to honk you LOUD AND LONG just to wake you up. Someone needs to. Another thing, just because you cannot figure out where you are going, I’m not going to break for you to pull in front of me when you suddenly realize you need to get into the other lane, especially if you don’t use your turn signal. Here’s an idea, figure out where your going before you get in the car and quit driving like everyone can read your mind because we can’t. Don’t make me honk you! Does anyone really believe no Splost money was not taken from the Imperial? City of Augusta holds a share of the blame. No monitoring of how Splost dollars are being and have been spent. In response to the comment about the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting (putting a dagger through the belief that God exists, and so on): If there is any disbelief that an all merciful God exists, Victoria Soto, the teacher who tried to save her students by sending Adam Lanza to the empty auditorium to find them, should make you at least reconsider any doubt you have. I pissed off a couple of my “redneck friends” when I wrote that the Metro Spirit is not giving proper recognition to President Obama’s re-election and Sheriff Roundtree’s historic victory in Richmond County. And sadly, that is still the case. One “friend”
told me to go back to decaying Detroit. That’s where I’m from and I gladly travel to that “great” city often. It takes living in the south for me to appreciate being from the north. But my “friend” has probably never been past the Mason Dixon line so; ignorance is “bliss”. My other “friend” from the “burbs”, Windmill Plantation, called me a northern racist (although I did not mention race) and claims she helps the needy in Richmond County. The last Word I heard is that when you’re helping others you don’t have to let the whole world know what you’re doing, but do it privately so you’ll be openly rewarded by God. Sadly my “surburban friend” failed that test, too. Peace. guns do not come to life and kill people -- evil & wicked people do. the best way for gun control to be effective for semi & automatic assault weapons that have been sold to the general public is to IMMEDIATELY BAN the sell of ammunition for those type weapons to the general public & only allow the sell of that type of ammunition to police, federal agents, US military, etc.. by their respective organizations who are seen as qualified by the US Government to obtain that type ammunition. the right for people to bear arms ( never said anything about ammunition) would not be a barrier because the general public can still buy guns that are not the assault type to defend themselves and their families. it is just that simple.

Bowie is back with a new single that, get this, doesn’t suck. Although you will be convinced that he made up about half the words after listening to it.

A plague on the parent who shut down a Utah high school’s modern take on Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” because the Elvis Presley songs they were using were too sexy for school. And yes, this happened in 2013.
