Perry the GOP frontrunner in Ga., and nationally as well
Via Jim Galloway, a poll of Georgia Republicans by Channel Two Action News and InsiderAdvantage:
Rick Perry: 24 percent;
Herman Cain: 15 percent;
Newt Gingrich: 9 percent;
Michele Bachmann: 8 percent;
Mitt Romney: 6 percent;
Ron Paul: 5 percent;
Jon Huntsman: 1 percent;
Undecided, 20 percent.
It’s no surprise that Perry’s doing well in Georgia, but the size of his lead is a little startling so soon after his entry into the race. The fact that Romney, the longtime frontrunner who has been in the race for months, draws just 6 percent here in the Peach State is a stark reminder of his problems with the party’s conservative base.
In a similar poll taken in Florida earlier this month, before Perry’s official entry, Romney pulled 25 percent, with Perry drawing support from 16 percent and Bachmann getting 10 percent. I doubt those numbers would be duplicated today, with Perry now an official candidate.
The most recent numbers out of South Carolina, another important primary state, date back to mid-July, when Perry was just beginning to make noises about a serious run. Romney drew 25 percent, with Sarah Palin at 16 percent, Bachmann at 15 percent and Cain at 13 percent. But again, Perry’s entry into the race has no doubt altered that landscape.
That’s certainly what has happened nationally. Here’s Rasmussen from earlier this week:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary voters, taken Monday night, finds Perry with 29% support. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008, earns 18% of the vote, while Bachmann, the Minnesota congresswoman who won the high-profile Ames Straw Poll in Iowa on Saturday, picks up 13%.
Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who was a close second to Bachmann on Saturday, has the support of nine percent (9%) of Likely Primary Voters, followed by Georgia businessman Herman Cain at six percent (6%) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with five percent (5%). Rick Santorum, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, and ex-Utah Governor Jon Huntsman each get one percent (1%) support, while Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter comes in statistically at zero.
At this point, Perry is probably the frontrunner in the race, with the important proviso that like Bachmann, he has the potential to self-destruct at any moment.

I ran into an old golfing buddy of mine the other day and he said that he had found the perfect woman. “She’s so easy to talk to and we enjoy doing everything together!” he said.
“Fantastic!” I said.
“There’s just one little problem,” he said.
“Oh, what’s that?” I said.
“Well, she’s a hooker,” he said.
“You’re not going to let a little problem like that stop you, are you? Heck, I used to have a real bad slicing problem!” I said.

There’s some up and coming younger people who will probably push the economic agenda. Cosby and his group does a great job addressing the social aspects, but even they do or say nothing about the economic stuff.
I can only hope that Warren Ballentine will eventually get more press than Soulja Boy and his $55 million dollar jet. Just my opinion, but there seems to be a confusion of values in the black community based on who the pop heroes are. At the same time, no love for Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell.

I like RW. I have no desire to offend him and if I have, I want him to understand that no such was intended. I’m not looking for any type of apology either personal or to the class under discussion and the use of the term once applied to them in a negative fashion to describe someone with whom we have issues.

Well, folks. I guess I just can’t resist spilling this para-parable. What’s a para-parable? Well, I’m glad you asked. It’s not a parable like the ones that the rebel jew we crucified in order to keep the peace a few years ago told, (the dirty rat).
Honestly, what WAS his problem?
Okay, a para-parable is that quasi-weekly, semi-monthly, bi-annual homily that I feel compelled to share with the body of MAN.
Do you want to hear it or not?
Or would your rather absorb the commercial prattle from RW, BRUNO, AND THE PUBLIC FACILITY THAT THOSE SPURT-MEISTERS END UP IN.

That’s why I like you. Like moi, you are impossible to pigeon hole. Maybe a depth of character thing? some here call me a far left liberal, but in reality, I’m as traditional as most of ‘em. Nuclear families? Don’t lay that cosmic debris on me. I know better.
Josef, I don’t share them but I respect your feelings about that character. It is one of the many interactions here that are interesting.
Talk, you can talk, but if you ask me take
All your big words and put them together
What good will they do when the long day is through
Does anybody love you?
Do you think that anybody’s in love with?
You can dress up or dress down as you
Gaze in the mirror, hung up on your body
What good can it be when there’s no one there to see
You’re so lovely, so wise
You could make Venus crawl
But love between the ugly is the most beautiful love of all

The lack of hope in getting an education is not confined to the black community. When there are NO entry level jobs available for young people they cannot be completely blamed for having no vision for the future.
When their own parents are being forced to take minimum wage jobs to feed their families and keep a roof over their head who is to blame.
The economy for the last 10 years has sucked. Companies moving jobs overseas and illegal workers taking entry level jobs (or visa holders) taking ALL available jobs for less than the prevailing wages creates a climate of hopelessness for many wage earners.

People! Just read Brosephus’s last comment about the spending power of….forgive me…..blacks.
I would rather be considered insane versus proven to be an asshat. I imagine your goole is broken, so if you actually Googled Black spending power in America, you would come up with these links, for starters. If you opened up your eyes and saw who was buying Air Jordans, X-Boxes, 24′ rims, and other sh*t by the truck load instead of actually investing money in things with a positive return, you’d probably be even less an asshat.
Bruno
That’s the problem with things like that. The stunt that Soulja Boy did garners all kinds of attention, while something that’s actually positive is completely ignored by main stream media. As far as heros, the mere fact that people look for heroes beyond their own homes is a major disaster, in my opinion. Doesn’t matter the race, creed, or national origin.

CS–No easy answers here other than to say that business cycles are just that: cycles. And the beautiful part about cycles is that they’re cyclical, so that down will eventually become up again one day. And when that day returns, I can only hope that we Americans will be a little smarter next time and not fritter our money away on houses we can’t afford and big screen TVs we don’t need. It’s already happening to some degree. People are paying off their debt and saving more.
As far as immediate actions, Kyle WIngfield presented a few decent ideas on his blog. Knocking down a bunch of the vacant houses will bring home values back up in the short run.

Mick, I too remember associating that record with my very early experiences with getting high and doing psychotropics.
Different branches of the service, but the same groove?
And the Dan was really something. Blew me away from the get go. And you’re right B, a bunch of Fender wailing guys in that vid. And those fantastic dual lead riffs, niiiice.
For my buddy Hilly D…

Scourge is a great word, B. Terribly underused.
Buffett to Zep. Is this place great, or what?

Good call, doesn’t matter to me, we are all kind of like those dj’s out there, we have a mental picture of what each poster must look like just by their words – I’ll stick with that…

The movie is a keepsake to me, since all my partying buddies from Atlanta appear in it. Check out the 4:28 mark for a laugh. Unfortunately, my buddy lost his shirt on it. He won some minor film award in Europe for it, and won a cell phone.

It was tons of fun to shoot, we were all partying our butts off.

I’ll have to wait until june of 2012 to see if I made the cut in tom cruise new film “rock of ages”, I was an extra for a whole day. The experience was pretty cool and TC came off as being very humble, he worked his ass off to get the two scenes I was in perfect. All in all, beautiful young chicks in their best 80’s garb, lots of fun but most of the time very boring, nice way to kill and afternoon…

“You devils steal and pretend that you wrote the amazing lines”
Laughingly, tis sadly true.
B, I know, but I ain’t saying. Twould ruin the fun. And the doobie in need of flame scene was great.
Mick, I think that LZ is still so damn relevant that there keeps popping up all this amazing, never seen/heard sh8t. That’s how badass revolutionary they were.

Jay – if you noticed, yesterday many jumped over to kyle’s to say howdy to hillbilly. It dawned on me that I really couldn’t get into going there just to create havoc because I disagree with his political take. This linda gal accused you of being the pied piper and us the followers. All I can say is that it’s pretty damn cool to read an opinion columnist that backs his perspective up with facts that I agree with – nothing more, nothing less…

You can’t say Polly didn’t predict his most recent ejection. As I’ve stated before and will again in the future, I like Polly and his shtick is a lot sharper than the wannabes that are allowed to attack with impunity. On rare occasions he’s even funny.

Keep us posted, Mick.

Jay got mad at me for taking a swipe at Kyle, but I tried to help the man out a while back by suggesting that he become more partisan and inflammatory like Jay. And I meant it sincerely. You have to do something to stand out in the media world these days. McNeil-Lehrer Report just doesn’t cut it any more, unfortunately.

You are absolutely correct sir, if you are going to be a writer than there should be a passion to your beliefs. That and of course, the talent to write. Here’s a great two chord song-

thanks here’s the first song I ever heard after those first few tokes – blew me away-
The whole DSOTM album was a heavy favorite back in the day, of course. If I remember correctly, we were listening to some ELO the first time I toked up. See if this one brings back any memories:
