Last week, the Lee County Board of Commissioners appointed Al Crace of Roswell, Ga., as the interim county administrator. Per both Crace and Lee County Board of Commissioners Chairman Ed Duffy, this is to be a temporary position lasting roughly five months or so. In other words, he could well be gone before the end [...]

Condoms for first graders?

No Comments 30 June 2010

Condoms are now being made to students as young as first grade in one Massachusetts school. Apparently this story is now getting some play on Fox News (no, I don’t watch that drivel, the headline and link was re-Tweeted by someone in my twitter stream), but I first heard about this story on the Atlanta-Journal [...]

No Comments 13 April 2010

Christianity was founded roughly 2,000 years ago on the shores of a big lake in the Near East that still exists today – the Sea of Galilee. It has its roots in a small town that still exists today in present-day Israel – Bethlehem. Its foundation was made permanent a city of much strife for [...]

Fear mongering at election time

No Comments 11 April 2010

Republicans or several years now have consistently played the “fear” card when it comes election time. They consistently set up some Democrat – be it Al Gore, Roy Barnes, John Kerry, Mark Taylor, or Barack Obama – as some kind of Big Evil that is out to destroy us all, and then try to make [...]

Proms and Lesbians In the Bible Belt

No Comments 24 March 2010

I don’t know if y’all have seen this one, but over the past couple of days a story has come out about a certain high school senior in Mississippi. Seems this student likes to date girls and wants to wear a tux to prom. The problem? The student’s name is Constance rather than Conrad.

Disclosures: Oxendine funding other politicos’ campaigns

No Comments 04 February 2010

I was tipped off that Georgia gubernatorial candidate John Oxendine had contributed to at least one statewide candidate through his PAC, Better Georgia. (Both the PAC and Ox’s State Ethics Commission reports show the same address.) I started looking into this – and was somewhat shocked by what I found. Money is the lifeblood of [...]

SWGAPolitics.com Year in Review

1 Comment 08 January 2010

Wow. 2009 is over. We saw quite a bit happen during the year. We’ve seen one of the top-three most powerful politicians in the state drop out of the Georgia governor’s race under the auspices of his health, only to have the rumor come out later in the year that it was actually over a [...]

Wanted: Meaningful reform of ethics code

No Comments 05 January 2010

At the very front of what I’m about to say, let me note that this is just an idea I’ve been thinking about that may or may not work. Based on my own thinking right now, I think it might, and it is certainly a different approach than what we’ve got right now, which is [...]

Lee County Georgia censors free speech

No Comments 17 December 2009

By Jeff Sexton This past week at the Lee County Board of Commissioners meeting, a policy was implemented without it being on the Agenda – at least the online version of it, as it exists at the moment I type this, nearly a week later. I’m working on getting the video right now – like [...]
