Did you know that Queen PeLOUSY still allows "proxy voting" on House issues, even though members are no longer required to wear masks? In fact, one Democrat Representative, Kai Kahele of Hawaii has been in Washington to cast only 5 votes in person while voting by "proxy" (In another word.. absentee) in 120 such cases... I can see where an extreme measure be in place in extreme situations, but this is no longer the case.. Congress needs some sort of minimum standard for being in physical attendance during House sessions or members get ousted!

WTVM-TV9 headline/story: "Alabama elementary school principal accused of ‘excessive paddling’ of student * A letter sent to Hazelwood Principal Dr. Datie Priest accuses her of paddling a third-grade student ten times in a row one time and five times in a row during a separate incident. * According to WAFF’s news partners at the Decatur Daily, Smith has said no more than three licks at a time is allowed. * Smith says Priest later told him and another supervisor that the child was given a choice of “two licks by his teacher or ten by me and it’s my personal belief that he would not take a paddling from a white teacher.” -- Hmmm Hmmm.. student gets choice of 2 or 10 "licks".. and chooses 10... hmmm... the real issue the principal needs to be chastised over is the student CHOOSING 10 "licks" vs 2 "licks"... "new math" is killing our children's .. thus America's ... future.

Has any thought been made about the logistics of moving a 20' object riding atop a 5' high truck bed (total height of about 25') down streets with power and signal lights geared fore clearing 16' semis? Or has any thought been made about the ugliness of a 20' C-O-W "billboard" along the banks of the historic Chattahoochee? Or.. what about the attraction to take selfies urinating on it by drunk.. or even un-drunk college students so they can post them on Instagram? Oh.. and I'm sure the RiverKeeper and most Naturalists can't possibly like the thought of having it there either...

And there's probably no end to the corruption line in NY politics!
