Up The Creek Without A Paddle
Black Candles
by Terry Toole
      For the past week or lifetime, my first wife has been in the planning mode. She is always thinking or planning on things to do and places to go. "Do you want to go to Albany or Dothan with me to get some black candles? They don't have any in Colquitt," Betty Jo asked last weekend.

My Kind of Girl
by Alex McRae
      She cheated. She lied. She's going to jail. I like this woman a lot. Since I only watch track and field when the Olympics roll around every four years, Marion Jones wasn't on my radar screen until the 2000 Sydney games. Like everyone else, I gawked in admiration as she took the games by storm, w...

Under the Golden Dome
by State Rep. Gerald Greene
      The second regular session of the 149th General Assembly began on January 14 at 10:00 a.m. Georgia's constitution states that the General Assembly convenes on the second Monday in January and remains in session for no more than 40 days. So I calculate, given the hostile environment at the beginnin...

Chose how you believe
by Terry Toole
      Some of my dead ancestors might disown me for what I am about to say, but under the circumstances I think they most would agree. For over 100 or more years, my folks were Democrats.

The twisted relativism of abortion
By Dr. Paul Kengor
      America this week marks the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The court case is frequently a matter of debate, especially the breath-taking judicial logic on which it is based. The constitutionality of Roe is just one of innumerable facets of the abortion debate, from the legal to the medical to th...

Is It Wintertime Yet?
by Ren Summerlin
      I think it is. And I think it shall remain a while longer. I have seen the most robins this year of any time I can remember in a while. The little Golden Finch and some have reported the Cedar Waxwings arrival. Another good sign is these cold mornings. I just can't hardly take them. But they are...

As You See It
      Why can't we get competent people at the hospital who are able to file patient's claims in a timely manner? It is a sad thing when claims are not filed until two years after an ER visit, and this is not the first time this has happened. Is there anyone else out there that has had this problem? A c...

Letter to Editor
      Dear Liberal Staff and Editor: Just after I had sent in my renewal last year and written you a letter, you had an article in the paper about the pledge of Allegiance. What a special article! I recognized the name, Mike Christian, right away. He was the POW in the story who was tortured for sewin...
