I love parades. Watched the Christmas Parade from start to finish yesterday. It was really disappointing in how institutional Columbus basically ignored it. Where was an AFLAC, Synovus, or TSYS entry?

I love parades. I understand why Mayor Obamalinson was in it, but why was the District Attorney in it? Early campaigning?

One of the first participants was the MCOE band. One of the last displays was the Central High band. Other than those two, there were no other bands in the parade. Where were all the Columbus high school bands? I finally just figured that the bands didn't participate because they probably wouldn't be allowed to play Christmas songs.

The worst parade exhibit was the Russell County Sheriff's entry. Vehicle after vehicle drove through, all bearing Sheriff Heath Taylor's name boldly emblazoned across the sides of the vehicles. There's got to be some illegal campaign issue with that.

I think about some of the best teams in the South which earned special names in the past such as the LSU "Chinese Bandits", or the UGA "Junkyard Dawgs", but today's only choice of a special name for a team would be one to easily adopted by too many teams to be memorably special. Let's face it... there are a lot, too many in fact, that could easily be referenced as the "Chain Gang".

Poor Dusty... he can see how a DIM&DUMBERat tax increase proposal is good for the economy, but a Republican one isn't. Neither Party's increase proposals will help the economy as creating more government jobs actually strains the revenues received from private sector ventures.

What's this attempt by Texas A&M to hire a SEC coach from an existing SEC university? Is it an admission that SEC coaching is better than Texas A&M coaching? It was bad enough that the SEC invited two teams from locations that will make college roadtrip football weekends nearly impossible for students.

Rode by the Whitesville RD/Whitlesey RD dealership yesterday and the first thought I had was, "Taliban Headquarter".

Diversity is a complex, if not complicated word. The mere mention of it conjures up split images to different people. One thing for sure is 'diversity' can be, no, will be, a divisive word unless everyone focuses on the positive differences all people bring to the table. Unfortunately, most diversity events are geared at exposing the negative aspects.
