So here is what is going on today, as I’ve seen multiple postings on at least three SM sites complaining about it: Many polling places in heavily blue-voting areas in Georgia have at least half, and in some cases, less than half of the normal number of voting stations available while heavily red-voting areas suddenly…

Good.

The one I’m willing to admit to? The Sound of Music.

Yeah, I was one of those people who blew up at you for that post. The above, this is good stuff. Well done.

I wish I could give this a thousand stars.

Not the point. The point is she is so fucking tone deaf she didn’t know enough to NOT try to throw that particular shade at that moment, in that situation. Subtlety is lost on the other side, she gave them gold to misquote and crow over.

We’re doing a ghost tour at the Fox Theater here in Atlanta then going out for delicious sushi.

I no longer buy buffet food from unattended (i.e., out in the open, no employees monitoring) buffets, for exactly this reason. There are certain universal social mores the infraction of which there are no excuses for, no possible defense accepted. The above is one, and the punishment for transgression of these mores…

Agreed. I followed the comment stories for this year’s contest for a week, and read all of the ones submitted in the comments section that made the final cut; they were awesome and well curated. However, “Family Forever” is an overwrought, poorly written piece of crap. It isn’t scary, it is obviously fake, and I…

This is just fine.

Ooohhh, fiendishly clever. As teens, we took toilet paper and strung it on two trees facing each other across a road at a turn at about waist high, then sat back in the brush on one side to watch. The car that finally came around the corner and saw the “barrier” stopped, pondered a moment, then revved its engine, hit…

That would be, ya know, fucking fantastic. But the shitty reality is that too many people who lean left (as in, aren’t bigoted, white supremacist assholes or greedy self-hating shitbags) also stick their heads in the sand when it comes to politics in general and voting in particular. They say they aren’t into…

So, here’s the deal: Kemp is not legally obligated to resign his position of Secretary of State to run for governor, according to Georgia state law. But for the sake of public perception and common sense he *should* recuse himself from overseeing his own election because DUH IT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN. But oh my GOD,…

The only question I have is, what is the deal with this? The timing stinks to high heaven- do these caravans happen more frequently than the media covers, or is this a singular event? And if the latter, why, WHY are these people trying to crash the US border right now, just before a crucial mid-term election for our…

Please, for the English pedantic:

People here are prepared for that. We early voted on Monday, which for our area (DeKalb County/East Atlanta) is the DMV on Memorial. For the first time in my experience, there were several Dekalb County employees in various uniforms just sort of hanging around the entrance, big, big AA men. They seemed to be either on…

No.

I come here for the ghost stories, and am highly entertained by the off-beat ones. Hilarious.

My brother is bipolar and this is exactly what one of his manic episodes looks like.

Just about every year we go to Savannah for New Year’s Eve; it is gorgeous, steeped in history and legend, and rightfully dubbed America’s Most Haunted City. It is also a walking city, with lots of excellent ghost tours; Savannah at night is very spooky and atmospheric, you can palpably feel other presences . We’ve…
