Legislative kooks, weirdos can give Georgia a black eye

Eventually, if you elect enough kooks and weirdos to the General Assembly, don’t you figure by the time they find their way around the State Capitol, that they might, just might, introduce some crazy legislation? It’s impossible to lay blame at any one door. However, these days in Georgia we

The sign on the door said ‘Gentlemen’

The sign on the door at a neighborhood pub I visited last week gave me pause: "Als," it said. Was that the place for me? I wasn't sure until I checked out its companion, "Gals." Yep, I was — for that moment anyway — an "Al." In recent times, I have also been a "Guy," not a "Doll," and a "C

The Tarheel farmer and the queen of Spain

I recently watched Charlie Rose interview Penelope Cruz on 60 Minutes. I was reminded of the gift and the curse of having gone to Duke. As a frightened freshman and not much more confident sophomore in the early '60s, I remember watching a young Charlie Rose march purposefully across campus: tal

Georgia doesn’t need “protection” offered by Speaker Ralston

Why do legislators think we need so much protection? It seems that they are always modifying current law to protect us from that Boogerbear or that Devil? And the fact is that we often don’t need their help at being protected, for we already have more protection in our Bill of Rights and Consti

The Dog Food Economic Index

What with the succession of economic crises over the past couple of years - collapses in subprime mortgage lending, investment banking, and the stock market; the Madoff Ponzi scheme fraud; the Big Fat Greek Economic Implosion, et alia - you may be asking yourself, “Just how bad are things, anyway,

Celebrated Decoy Carvers

As I turned off Highway 17 onto West Virginia Road, snowy mountains and the blue-green Kanawha River came to mind, but neither snow nor mountains waited in Carolina Rice Country. Legendary folk artists waited—The Caines Boys. Now right here let’s get clear on names. The Caines Brothers are dead

Nobody Talks Anymore

[caption id="attachment_59567" align="alignright" width="360"] Call me, please.[/caption] The first time I heard the phrase, “the Information Age,” I wasn’t sure what it meant. The best I could figure it meant an explosion in knowledge was on the way. That, it so happens, was true. Two week

Critical Perspectives on Israel/Palestine & Syria

A conference on February 4th in Decatur, GA featured “rock star” panelists, knowledgeable, articulate, even entertaining on a subject that doesn't readily lend itself to such. This is not a thorough review of the conference but more a collection of impressions. A talk on Syria by jounalis

Elvis Has Left The Building

Tuesday, August 16, 1977. It was a scheduled day off, but there I was anyway, at Peaches Records and Tapes in Atlanta, perusing a shipment of Oldie 45s delivered the evening before. I was the store's singles buyer, a prominent slot. The record companies and radio stations knew we endeavored to st

Firings at Alabama Public Television highlight state attacks on public media

This week, the board of the Alabama Educational Television Commission came out of an executive session and made a surprise announcement: Alabama Public Television veteran broadcaster Allan Pizzato and his deputy Pauline Howland were to clean out their desks and leave the station's Birmingham offices

Noel Polk: Faulkner ‘continues to amaze’

The pre-eminent Faulkner scholar Dr. Noel Polk is likely more familiar with the great Mississippi writer's work than anyone. He has edited corrected versions of all of Faulkner's books. As explained below, Noel consulted Faulkner's original typescripts to correct editorial changes made w

Stories Grandpa Didn’t Tell Me

Grandpa was not a storyteller. It was only later, when Grandma wasn’t around, that he told me a few stories about his life and parents. He never talked about the hard times during the Great Depression, but he said enough to encourage me in later life to research his family history. When he died al

My Atavistic Fears

Last night I got a phone call about 8 o’clock on a dark, wet evening in Virginia from the “Nine-One-One Center,” an automated voice telling residents to “Lock all doors and windows, stay inside and don’t answer the door to anybody while the police are engaged in an incident at the (named)

Who Wants Intervention?

Who wants to intervene in the Syrian civil war? Opinion polls on both sides of the Atlantic make it clear that while events in Syria are tragic there is no desire for involvement in another war in the Middle East. Recent experience has taught the public lessons about their cost and futility. Instead

To my Republican friends:

I apologize. I had no idea. I didn't know what you did. All these years when I said with complete and utter disdain, "I don't watch Fox," I didn't know that if I had, I might well have known what you knew to be true. Things that I knew to be "facts" you knew to be "theory" or worse. What a world?

Into the North Carolina Transgender Weeds

North Carolina’s HB 2, aka the “bathroom law,” has provoked outrage and ridicule in equal measure. The feeble defense the law’s supporters are putting up invites speculation about their real agenda. Unless safety concerns track religious belief for some hitherto unnoticed reason, it’s

The Rising of the South

Despite the seeming endless number of deficiencies the South can lay claim too, there have always been two aspects which have set the South apart: writers and football. Southern writers, when they are good, are very, very good. From Tennessee Williams to William Faulkner to Erskine Caldwell,

I Want To Live Forever - you, I'm not so sure about

Scientists may be close to figgerin' out a way we can all live forever or at least for a thousand years. They think there is something called a "telomere" that if prevented from shortening, our bodies can be kept from deteriorating. An exciting notion, until you start thinking it through. First,

Bob Dylan, take note: The times they have done changed

Whatever happened to simple weddings? My wife Margaret and I got married 34 years ago in her parents’ living room, in Columbia, with maybe 10 people, tops, in attendance. This past Thursday, Aug. 25, we drove to Athens, Ga., to make arrangements relating to our youngest son’s upcoming
