The Earth has artists, lovers, poets, and idiots. Atlanta has more idiots. I keep seeing Fulton County animal control chasing down baby chickens. Don't they have anything better to do? The Senate Hindsight Committee is overwhelmed by the vast amounts of intelligence documents to review. Now they know how the FBI and CIA feel every day. Exactly where, in relationship to your butt, was your head all year while your 16-year-old was failing all of these classes? The book, "The Sum of all Fears," scared me half to death. But Hollywood's version is more like a comedy. It's funny how the city of Atlanta seems to have no problem paying Pennington a high salary, yet can't find the funds to pay those who are working the streets.

I'm there in seven seconds, just 10 steps from kitchen to desk and the bathroom is on the way. Of course sex sells furniture. Just think of all the bed frames and couches that need to be replaced because of it. OK, cable companies, now that more and more people are subscribing to digital cable, you can feel free to lower the prices any time now. I heard Sears bought Land's End so they could be strong in the mail order business. Didn't they try that 100 years ago?

I thought it was an "in" joke I didn't get. Why does mineral water that has trickled through mountains for centuries have a "use by" date? If Catholic priests start robbing banks, will it be OK as long as they don't do it too often? Skydivers are good to the last drop. I'm a size 4 and just bought a size 10 swimsuit that barely fits. If designers really wanted to sell suits, I think they should fix their sizing system. Traffic is so slow in Atlanta that you'd have to get out of your car to hit a pedestrian. I don't get it.
