actually got knocked down and
run over once when he wasn’t
able to elude the onslaught.
There’s a reason Jesus sent
the demons into a herd of pigs
and caused them to run off a
cliff.
Pigs have an evil side.
Anyway, as soon as I was
assigned my new chore I de
cided that there needed to be a
“celebrity” category included
in the contest.
The only problem was, I
wasn’t sure exactly what or
who passes for a celebrity
around these parts. When your
hometown has fewer people

Most Americans believe
that police procedures need
to change. In a new poll from
The Associated Press-NORC
Center for Public Affairs Re
search found that 95 percent of
Americans believe that police
reform, in some capacity,is
necessary. Still, there is resis
tance to make changes. This is
another example of democracy
gone awry.

doubles as a fundraiser of sorts.
Contestants select a charity
to donate their winnings to.
Thanks to our various sponsors
over the years, we have given
thousands of dollars back to
our community, toward mis-
City, hnding a real luminary
can be tough.
So I decided to go outside
the box and invite some good
Southern folk who’ve made
it big.
Like Mississippi native
Oprah Winfrey.
I decided to have my people
called Oprah’s people. Okay,
I actually don’t have people
so I placed the call myself.
After being passed through a
few dozen layers of celebrity
bureaucracy and listening to
Muzak between automated
voices, I hnally got to speak
to somebody purported to be
Oprah’s personal assistant.
“State your business with
Ms. Winfrey please.“
not always right and legisla
tion requires study, reflection,
and deliberation; however, the
people should be an essential
part of the equation. When
there is consensus especially
over a period of time, the de
sires of the people should be
heard, discussed, debated, and
enacted upon. If the consen
sus supports an action, a law
should be written and passed.
There was a great debate as
to whether the state of Georgia

She hung up on me quicker

I got similar responses from
Sandra Bullock, Reese Wither

Billy Bob Thornton’s people

Perdition.
So, I am going to have to
go with plan B. As soon as the
contest starts I’ll grab the hrst
three people I recognize and
christen them celebs.
It might work.
Regardless, it’s going to be

a cautious and hesitant General
Assembly unwilling to estab

constitutional amendment was
put on the ballot on November

it was approved by the people
making the lottery legal. On
June 29, 1993, the Georgia

Dear Mom,
These are the times I wish you were here to be showered
with the love we have for you on Mother’s Day. I know you
are in a better place, but no one can take your place in our
hearts. While I know you can’t come back to earth, I know
someday we will be together again in heaven.
