Hold out, and keep the faith
I see where the Grammy Awards ceremony is scheduled for Sunday night. Hundreds of artists have been nominated for the top awards in the music industry.
Lula Collins never won a Grammy. Hold out, and keep the faith.
I hope she got her reward elsewhere.

Whenever we get some snow and ice on the roads here, there are many wrecks. Then folks from “up North” laugh and tell us how well they can drive in those condition.
But..but..but..but…but..but…but now, in the NE theres a ton of snow and pictures of car wrecks everywhere. Uhhhhhhhhhh, did all these great snow drivers just suddenly forget how to drive?

February 9th, 2013

Indigo, what is received in Georgia in a snow storm is a “dusting” compared to what they are receiving now. Other than black ice, most northern drivers can handle just about anything here because it is a typical drive. Not stopping on a hill (coasting through stops), etc. They also generally have the equipment and tires to address most storms. Shoveling 14″ off the drive and going to work is commonplace. 2-3′ in a matter of hours is another story for anyone. That much snow would sell out bread and milk for a month or two in Atlanta. In Boston, it will be less than a week.

In another case of “hold out and keep the faith”( or, the little engine that couldn’t)
Atlas Shrugged: Part II opened on 1,012 screens and earned $692,000 on its premiere[13] and $1.7 million its opening weekend, debuting at #11. Despite opening on more than three times the screens of Part I, it did not significantly improve on Part I’s opening weekend.[14][15][16]
According to Box Office Mojo, box office take totaled $3,286,255 through 11/4/12, the last date for which the producers released numbers. When adjusted for inflation, the film had one of the two hundred worst wide openings of the past thirty years, followed by one of the two hundred worst second-week drops for the same period. By the third week of release it was down to under 150 screens, pulling in only $28,000 on its third Friday. Despite the bigger budget and wider release, the film performed more poorly than Part I.[17]
[...]
The movie’s sequel and the third part in the series, Atlas Shrugged: Part III, is scheduled to be released on July 4, 2014.[27]

Well, I’m just glad to be around this gorgeous day. Last Wednesday a first cousin died of a heart attack. He was setting in the living room talking to his brother and when the brother never got no answer to a question he looked and saw my cousin setting there with his eyes rolled up in his head. He was buried yesterday. He’d never been sick or even complained of any pain.
So this gives me a different outlook on all the fussing and feuding that goes on here. I think I’ll just hug the missus and little Nathan Zell George and take them out for a meal.
Have a good Saturday everybody.

Tiger Woods sends jet for Lindsey Vonn
One of the surest signs a man is interested in a woman is when he gives her a ride on his private jet, right guys?
Tiger Woods, then, must be seriously interested in Lindsey Vonn, because he sent his jet to Austria to pick up the skier, who suffered a devastating injury during a race this week, according to TMZ and other media outlets. TMZ published a photo of Vonn boarding Woods’ jet.
There have been rumors that Woods and the 28-year-old Vonn were dating, but Vonn has said the two are only friends. A spokesman for Woods recently declined to comment on the relationship between the two, USA Today reported.
The Daily Mail of London reported that the two divorcees began dating in November.
Sure don’t make sense to me. Tiger promising Elin Nordegren $350 million to keep it in his pants and then sending his private jet to pick up Lindsey Vonn.
But then again, what do I know?

You can always tell that liberals are threatened by something when they start making jokes about it and trying to belittle it. It is an infantile method lthey use nowadays and Jay and his little cadre of shut-ins here use it over and over again. Case in point is Fox News. They hate it because they are threatened by it.

I think you know that I can distill the difference between news sources and entertainment. My point is that the entertainment, such as this site, has become simply a competition for the outragious. While the so called news, is now suspect due to competition for ratings, a shoot, ready, aim, I got the story first and people really care mentality that is actually worse that ever, and the natural bias of how “news” is reported in such biased fashion to maintain a certain strain of readership/viewership. News outlets such as the NYT or the Washington Examiner present news in a biased way in order to spin toward viewership….after which, the obligatory accusation from one that the other reported news in a bias fashion.
This is of course is separate and apart from biased entertainment outlets…When the media became news, the news has become crap….one must read news from various perspectives to garner what may actually be whatever happened..

The left seems completely freaked out by both the fictional works and subsequent Rand’s attempt to take the fictional themes into the mainstream. I think part of it has to do with the concern that certain aspects of the fictional works hit close to home. The idea that some of our most talented success stories, including for example Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, were a result of breaking away from mainstream thought. “Howard Roake laughed..” the opening line of The Fountainhead, is about the only time that character showed levity. He was developing concepts so far past the accepted architecture of the time that it threatened a mainstream that defined this work which impacted his ability to secure jobs….just too controversial. Rather than keep beating his head against the sand, he went to work in a quarry mine since his commitment to his values would not allow him to maintain commissions under circumstances that others would alter his work.
IMO, it is quite simple to separate the timeless value of her fictional novels from her incoherent rants seen as an attempt to influence society, from a liberal perspective, render her novels as a source of jokes by the left.

I would hope and pray that you could discern news from opinion and entertainews. At the same time, you kinda make my point. This site is not news. It is pure opinion, and anybody expecting anything different has a few screws loose.
I don’t do the cable alphabet circus other than Shep on Fox from time to time and CNN in the afternoon. Other than that, I stick with network news and the internet. Cable is nothing but a ratings circus. The networks follow the same format, but time constraints seem to keep the opinionating to a minimum.

These are the moments when it’s embarrassing to be a Christian. I’m not embarrassed to believe the extravagant claims of Christianity: that Christ was born to a virgin, died for our sins, physically rose from the grave and is returning to rule the world. But I am embarrassed to be associated with some of the people who claim his name.
And that’s why we Christians have a poor reputation. Maybe there’s some truth to those claims, but we Christians have to acknowledge another reason why we are perceived as hateful: because many of our number are.
I am convinced that, if Jesus Christ were here walking among us, he would have nothing to do with those who claim his name and consistently spew hate.
“Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.” (1 John 2:9,11)
“If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.” (1 John 4:20)
Christians aren’t the only ones hurling hateful blows on the Web. But we are the only ones who claim to follow the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. So let’s be nice.

Cause you’re not praying to me, you’re praying to yourself
And you’re not worshiping me, you’re worshiping yourself
And you will kill in my name and heaven knows what else
When you can’t prove I exist so get over yourself

Three shot in Waffle House altercation
Three people were shot early Sunday when an argument at a Waffle House in Clayton County turned dangerous.
A police spokesman said a group of young adults were at the crowded restaurant on Tara Boulevard in Lovejoy around midnight when they got into an altercation with another group of patrons who had just entered.
The argument spilled out into the parking lot and was followed by gunfire.
See, this is what happens when they bring me “scattered and covered” instead of “scattered, covered and smothered.”
