Prior to Monday's swearing-in ceremonies for new Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and the state's 180 House members and 56 Senate members in Atlanta, "more than 50 patrol vehicles from the State Patrol, Department of Natural Resources and other law enforcement agencies ferried lawmakers to the Capitol," according to a Morris News Service report.

Seems to be going around.
A local GSP officer was recently assigned the duty of sitting with the family of a deceased GSP higher up - second in command, I think.

Anyway, the duty apparently included taking the family member of the deceased GSP officer to the hair salon. And sitting there waiting for her through the entire appointment.

Man was that guy assigned to a lousy job detail! Maybe he will get lucky and be able to join the rest of his comrades at the next GSP party they throw at the Atlanta Motor Speedway Nascar race. Now thats a detail to be jealous about. All those drunk pretty women walking around really helps pass time. And a man in uniform? GSP at that? oowee!! GSP is the top dogs of any local or county police organization in the state. As far as post #3. Read how jealous people are of stupid things on these blogs. If they show their jealousy toward a cripple man can you imagine what the GSP does to their lives of no accomplishments. Caln all Carz tried to become a GSP officer his whole life but was repeatedly deemed unqualified. So he just stuck with what he was handed and vented his anger by becoming the department snitch. You cant stop the weak little birds from chip'n no matter how many times that big bird swoops down and takes what them little chics are not educated and powerful enough to obtain for themselves.

#1.1.1.1 thawt I saw a puty cat on 01/18/11 at 11:54 AM

no, but i am glad you see carz as a her also. tweety is obsessed with FBT. tweety likes knowledge. tweety likes views that give him a better understanding of the world he lives in. tweetys survival in this world depends on the understanding of what is really going on. what tweety doesnt like are big bad puty cats. and the headaches that tolley/carz blogs are known to cause in people that read them.

hey dummy. this was posted before seattle sarah told me carz was a woman. it mention carzs as a he still. why would you say i am obsessed by a her when i am talking about a he. sarah is right, you are transparent. and if you are reading sarah i hope you give your self a pat on the back. this little front i just seen through should make you proud. i just destroyed another one! wow! this blogging stuff is easy!

Tweety reigns supreme, crushing amateur bloggers like a jelly bean

i would expect this sort of article from a liberal rag like the athens banner-herald.

they had to be sworn-in in order to begin running the government.

What a stupid article. I mean, seriously. What is the real point here? Cry me a river.

People are not equal, thats a well known, yet too often ignored fact. Either by choices made, or by simple ability or lack therof, people are not equal, and forced equality will never work.

When/if you ever get elected to a position of power, then you can enjoy the perks and privelidges that come with it. Until then, you have not attained that level of social status. Plain and simple.

And the earth keeps on turning...

Sit and spin sounds good for you. "And the earth keeps turning..."

#3.2 mehyaM on 01/16/11 at 12:06 PM

keep chirp'n tweety. keep your eye in the sky for the next big bird who is on his way down to show you all the things in life he can have but you cant. And the earth does keep turning. So make sure you do not emancipate all that jealousy you hold at once. For the next rotation of it is going to bring more for you to "chirp" about.

Sounds like another one who will never know the feeling of being successful or privelidged, so they whine about those who are.

Keep crying the river, protesting, and marching. Seems thats what y'all are qualified to do best.

Ok then, seems the newspaper could have better served people by listing job openings, or people who need assistance, or charity offers, instead of whining about this.

Just sayin'
