Thoughts on grinches, values, sweet tea
Sometimes you just can't help but feel sorry for Malfunction Junction, aka, the city of Atlanta.
Learning to live with bipolar disorder
Learning to live with bipolar disorder has been a long and difficult struggle. It took three hospitalizations and several different diagnoses to get the proper diagnosis of dipolar disorder type 2.
Senator: Schools actually being protected
August is quickly coming to a close and families across Georgia are transitioning back into the normal school-year routine of homework, carpools and school buses, report cards and box lunches.
Obama's option play
One of the few strictly accurate things that President Barack Obama routinely says about his health-care reform is that it's much bigger than just the so-called public option. Yet when his administration signaled that the public option could be dropped, the left threw a collective tantrum.
It's about more than just health-care reform
I was discussing with my son, Ken, the free-for-alls taking place in town hall meetings around the country as angry people confront members of Congress over the Obama Administration's current health-care reform proposals. It isn't all that surprising, he said, and it's not just about health care.
Now is time to prepare for H1N1 flu
Right now, parents in the Coastal Health District are preparing for, or have already started, a new school year and are finding out who their children's teachers are and seeing the doctor to make sure their kids are healthy and ready to learn.
DOT changes don't address funding
This week, the House Transportation committee had confirmation hearings for Georgia's first transportation planning director.
The not-so-solent majority
Like Richard Nixon, Barack Obama wants to govern on the strength of a silent majority, although with a twist. Obama wants the majority that opposes or questions his policies to stay silent.
'Win-win' with Michael Vick
I see where the Philadelphia Eagles signed Michael Vick to a one-year contract with an option for a second year. Well, you know what; I'm happy for the Eagles, happy for Vick and happy for the Atlanta Falcons, too.
Sweet Tea Summit
I have just attended the Sweet Tea Summit. It was like President Obama's recent Beer Summit except we didn't have to endure Joe Biden and his motor mouth.
Remember who fights for us
We join with those who mourn the loss of Capt. Matthew Freeman, the Marine pilot killed Friday in Afghanistan, and our sympathies go out to his family and friends. We know full well there is nothing we can do to help ease their pain.
Sotomayor hearings were hardly oversight
During four days of hearings into the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee asked her 583 questions. Yet when they were done, we knew little more of importance than we did at the beginning.
Wanted: A modest Obama
By all accounts, Barack Obama's father, the Kenyan student studying in America, was cocksure and impressed with his own talents. The arrogance gene must be dominant. Obama clearly has it.
Democrat not sold on health care reform plan
I called Democratic Congressman Jim Marshall who represents Georgia's 8th Congressional District in Middle Georgia to check the status of health care reform currently lurching its way through Congress. I know what is being proposed. What I wanted to know was if this hydra-headed monster has a chance of passage. I had been told he was one person in Washington who would not give me the party line on this controversial issue. He would tell it like it is. And he did.
Water wars could divide region
If you're like me you can't wait till Southeastern Conference football starts back in the fall. Many people believe it just can't get any better than watching Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina duke it out on the gridiron.

Give kids a dose of culture, fun
My daughter got her first dose of culture last week when my family took advantage of Super Museum Sunday to expand our horizons and learn a bit about regional history.
Fort Stewart recreational activities, restaurants are open to civilians
Readers of the Coastal Courier already know Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield has a lot to offer soldiers and their families. We have great golf courses. We have fun bowling alleys. We have restaurants serving delicious food. We have hunting grounds boasting plentiful game. We have fishing ponds stocked with the finest catches. Yes, this military installation has a lot to offer soldiers and their families. And it offers those same recreational opportunities to golf, bowl, eat, hunt and fish to our neighbors here in Southeast Georgia.
Thanks to area EMS personnel for compassion during family emergency
On Feb. 5, our family was struck with a tragedy, during which we had to utilize the services of Liberty County EMS and Liberty Regional Medical Center. From the initial 911 call to the passing of our loved one, we could not have asked for better treatment and care.
Thanks to family, friends for kind acts following loved one’s passing
