Mr. Ahmadinejad...Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Written by Bill Knowles
Friday, September 10 2010 06:52
While the United States has been up to her knees in oil spills, surviving a blistering heat wave and getting slapped in the face by the insistence of a mosque being built near Ground Zero, an event that has been unfolding on the other side of the world as gone largely unnoticed: Iran's nuclear program has kicked into overdrive as last week a team of Iranian engineers began filling up Iran's first nuclear power plant with fuel. If we could believe Iranian President Ahmadinejad, we could all walk around with the Alfred E. Newman grin saying, “What, me worry?” Unfortunately, that's not the case. The United States, and in particular the Obama Administration, has rattled its' sabres at Iran in the past. But what good has it done? Last December, Iran successfully tested a Sejil-2 missile that has the range of knocking out Israeli bases as well as U.S. bases located in the Gulf. To that, Robert Gibbs, who slightly resembles Alfred E. Newman, but more so like Beaker on the Muppets, thundered that Iran was running out of time to comply with international demands that Iran halt her nuclear program. In stuttering Beaker fashion, Gibbs stammered on "if they don't (stop), time will run out" and Western powers will move to the "next step". Apparently, the "next step" is pulling a Neville Chamberlain and continue drawing lines in the sand until they reach all the way to Tel Aviv. All the while, Iran keeps producing uranium in the name of "energy" for her citizens. Before Hitler tried his hand at world domination, he had his army training with shovels and hoes, while telling the world, "All I want is peace!" Sound familiar? Read more

An Open Letter to Congressman Barrow, Bishop and Marshall

Written by Bill Knowles
Wednesday, August 25 2010 21:09
I am writing this open letter to you in hopes that you all will put aside partisan politics and take action to extend the tax cuts put in place by former President Bush. Inaction on your part will result in a mammoth tax increase on the American people that an already strained economy just can't stand. Let's look at some specifics: 1. Any private individual who collect dividends today gets 85 cents of every dollar. If these tax hikes are allowed to happen in 2011, that same dividend dollar will decrease to a little over 61 cents on the dollar and by 2013 because of the new Medicare tax it will further decrease to 58 cents. Wow! Maybe I'll sell all my stock if that happens. Holy crap Batman! If I sell my stock, see number 2. 2. I have to pay fifteen cents for every dollar of capital gains on my stock, if I were to sell today. If the tax hike goes through, I'll have to pay twenty cents in 2011 and 24 cents by 2013! Yeah...Let's stimulate the economy by taxing the overtaxed some more. That should work! 3. Since I can't collect dividends without paying half to Uncle Sam, and can't sell my stock and I can't sell my house or anything else of value without taking a hit, I guess I won't save any of my money by investing in sound companies on the stock exchange or in my savings account. I'll stuff the cash in coffee cans in my back yard. (My 17 year old Basset Hound Chester still patrols my backyard, so don't get any ideas. He's almost blind and can't hear, but if he get's a hold of you, he might gum you to death!) 4. Unemployment will probably go up even more. Small business, who are still the backbone of the United States economy, will most likely have to let go more people because of the higher taxes they'll have to incur. The Heritage Foundation has estimated that 270,000 more jobs will be lost in 2011 and by 2018 the total will climb to 413,000. In the Great Depression, "Hoovervilles", shanties of homeless people, sprung up across America. Will Obamaburgs be the latest fad beginning in January, 2011? 5. I might not need to worry about those dividends, however. If the tax increase occurs, I'm sure many of the companies will either do away with my dividends or severely decrease them. Look at history: In 2003 when the Bush Tax Cut went into effect, dividends from the top 500 S & P companies rose from $146 billion dollars to $172 billion. I'm no rocket scientist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. If the companies increased dividends when they got a tax DECREASE, they will decrease them if they get a tax INCREASE. Make sense? Simple concept isn't it? 6. Don't count on getting the senior citizen vote if you don't try to extend these tax cuts. Everyone knows that senior citizens get paid a lot of dividends in their retirement years. Do you think they'll be happy campers if they end up living in a camper down by the river? (I miss Chris Farley.) Read more

History Lessons

Written by Bill Knowles
Thursday, August 12 2010 09:19
Well, the primary election season is finally over and as I write this on Monday night before the runoff election all of the signs have been put out, all of the robodials have been placed (I got five today alone) and all the speeches by the candidates have been made in hopes of securing your vote for Governor, Insurance Commissioner, Public Service Commissioner, Attorney General and a host of other local and congressional races throughout Georgia. Georgia is unique in her election process as we are the ONLY state in the union that provides for a “runoff” election. For those of you who really don’t understand it, the process is a simple one: If a candidate does not get 50.1 percent of the total popular vote during any primary election, the top two candidates face each other again three weeks later. I honestly think Georgia adopted this as a carryover from The War of Northern Aggression as a way for Georgians to show the rest of the country how stubborn and cantankerous we really are and even if we finish second in a fight, ie The Confederate States of America, we’ll still don our campaign buttons, put out even more signs for our candidate and say “Forget Hell!” if we lose. That brings me to the point of this article. By the time you read this there will be many Republican voters’ feelings that will be hurt throughout Georgia because their candidate did not win a spot to run in November. There will be thoughts that they will have of not supporting a Republican candidate in November because a candidate isn’t “Conservative” enough or is “dishonest” or “unethical” or that the candidate was too negative in their campaign or not negative enough. People can find a bevy of different reasons not to support a candidate. (Believe me, as John McCain’s local campaign manager, I heard them all.) But does this dissention help our party? Absolutely not! Let’s look at how infighting has “helped” the GOP over the last 40 years. In 1964, Barry Goldwater took the Republican nomination as Mr. Conservative, only to alienate the Liberal Rockefeller wing led by its’ namesake Nelson Rockefeller. Goldwater was able to carry the solid South and Arizona, his home state for a total of 52 electoral votes compared to LBJ who received 486. That worked well didn’t it? Fast forward to 1976: Ronald Reagan did the almost impossible feat of wrestling a nomination from a sitting incumbent President, one Gerald R. Ford, who was considered moderate to liberal in his own right. Although Ronnie didn’t discourage them, if all of his loyal supporters would have worked for Ford as hard as they worked for Reagan, we would not have had the four yours of national malaise known as the Carter Administration. We now move to 1992 as Republicans once again had a less than Conservative President in “no-new taxes” George the Elder Bush. A promise of a square deal by Ross Perot got us eight years of Bill Clinton. Finally, we come to 2008 and the McCain candidacy. Republicans bellyached and moaned all the way to election day and the next thing we all know we were hearing “Hail to the Chief” being serenaded to the Obama’s with gold plated baroque trumpets as we all cried “What the hell happened?” I can tell you what happened: We lost. We lost because we had a weak candidate that people were apathetic about and refused to rally around. We cannot allow that to happen in November. The 2010 election offers Republicans a golden opportunity that we have never had before. It offers us a possible clean sweep of every major office in the state. Democrats Tommy Irvin and Thurbert Baker are out of office this year. Irvin, Georgia’s current Commissioner of Agriculture has finally retired, (Think about this: Lester Maddox was Governor when Irvin was first elected in 1968.) and Thurbert Baker, Georgia’s Attorney General since 1997 tilted at the Roy Barnes windmill and will not be returning either. It is entirely possible that Republicans can run the board if we unite behind our candidates by putting aside our differences and unite for one common goal: BEAT THE DEMOCRATS! No one has traveled further than I have in between candidates. My candidate for Governor was soundly beaten and it is time to move on. While I did not agree with all of my candidates’ positions, my new candidate came closer to my values than the other candidate still standing. By the end of this week several of you will be wrestling with a decision that only you can make in support of a candidate you might not be totally in synch with. I humbly ask you to do what is right not only for the Republican Party but what is right for Georgia by supporting the candidate chosen by our party to run against the Democrats in November. If we don’t come together, we only have ourselves to blame. Let’s not squander this opportunity, AGAIN.

So Goes Bibb Schools, So Goes Bibb County

“... in the recently released AYP only 14 of Bibb Counties 41 schools have made “adequate yearly progress” while most are instead labeled “needs improvement”, while our neighbor Houston County had 32 of 36 schools making AYP.

Finally, the Bibb County school board got something right when they voted 4-2 in favor of creating Bibb’s first Charter School, The Macon Academy of Excellence.”

In past columns, I have consistently been critical of most of the members, sans Board Chairman Gary Bechtel and on occasion Lynn Farmer, of the Bibb County Board of Education for their complete incompetence in how they have been managing arguably one of the worst school systems in the state. But I must give credit where credit is du: they finally got something right when they voted 4-2 in favor of creating Bibb County’s first charter school, The Macon Academy of Excellence. Great vote Chairman Bechtel and board members Tom Hudson, Tommy Barnes and Albert Abrams! My question is, and you know I would have some criticism, is why this wasn’t vote unanimous?

Two board members, Ella Carter and Susan Sipe, had to find flaws in this wonderful idea that so many other school systems have utilized. Carter said she voted against it because the school offered no transportation while Sipe used the excuse that she didn’t think the curriculum was “innovative enough”. Both of these members should excuse themselves from any further votes and resign as they are apparently not smart enough to realize that this school system needs help NOW; not six months from now, not ten years from now, but right NOW! I think when it comes right down to it, the real reason these nuts voted against a charter school can be found in the definition of what a charter school is, as defined by the Georgia Charter School Association which states a charter school “operates with freedom from many of the regulations that apply to traditional public schools.” In other words, Carter and Sipe want to be able to screw up the Macon Academy of Excellence like they’ve had a hand in screwing up the rest of the Bibb County School System.

Max Wood for Attorney General

Written by Brad Evans
Thursday, July 15 2010 09:12
Did you know that the last time there was an election for Attorney General in Georgia that did not include an incumbent candidate running was in 1942 when then Attorney General Ellis Arnall decided to run for Governor against Eugene Talmagde? The current Attorney General has decided to follow Arnall’s example and run for Governor, leaving the office without an incumbent on the ballot for the first time in nearly seventy years. With that, enter Middle Georgia’s own Max Wood, who announced last year he would be seeking the office. For those of you who do not remember, Max Wood was the United States Attorney appointed in 2001 by then President George W. Bush, who brought down Dwight “Malachi” York and closed the Nuwabian compound in Eatonton in one of the largest child abuse cases in Georgia history, as he personally prosecuted York and put him behind bars. One of the things you probably did not realize was that there were numerous death threats that Max, his wife Suzanne and their family received all the way through the trial. All because Max was doing the job he was sworn to do. The prosecution of York alone would make Max my choice as the next Attorney General for Georgia, but there is so much more to Max. Max is the ONLY Republican candidate for Attorney General who has experience as a prosecuting attorney. Along with being the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, Max spent almost six years in the U. S. Air Force’s Judge Advocate General’s department, two years as a staff attorney with the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia and three years as Assistant District Attorney for the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit where he was promoted to Chief Assistant DA. Not bad, huh? Read more
