Political Notes

Remember the good old days before 9/11 when we were scared to death that our computers might crash when the calendar turned from 1999 to 2000? Remember when nothing happened?

The mayor entertains a bid for the U.S. Senate, and "Rat Man" wants an apology.

Throughout its history, the Georgia General Assembly has been noted for ducking the tough issues.
