The latest movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is, for lack of a better word great. The movie did a fantastic job of capturing the book in story and setting, although the Jay-Z soundtrack for a movie set in 1922 was a little strange, it reminded me of “Idlewild,” but I have to say that it was strange in a good way.

“Iron Man 3” is fantastic from start to finish, there’s no two ways about it, while I did not find it as awesome as “The Avengers” or quite as entertaining as “Iron Man 2,” it was full of adventure and explosion from beginning to end. [Read more »]

About this time next year, we will be in the midst of an election for a Post Commissioner and a Commission Chairman. I expect that there will be “Meet and Greets”, “Meet the Candidate Forums” and hopefully even a debate or two. [Read more »]

First off let me say, that of course I saw “42.” How could I not? Just as Dave Chappelle could not admit that OJ may have done it, I must go see a movie about Jackie Robinson; my blackness compels me. There I said it, I felt as a self confessed “urban” sports nerd, I had to see “42.” That being said, it was pretty good, not too preachy, yet it didn’t sugarcoat anything. [Read more »]

First and foremost I must say, those who did not enjoy “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” are wrong, just plain wrong. The first live action G.I. Joe movie was awesome; it’s actually my all time favorite action movie, well it was until "The Avengers" came out. It truly follows the original cartoon and is full of action and just general awesomeness so please, STOP HATING. [Read more »]

Doug,

You stood before us in Gilmer County prior to getting elected and said that you would NOT support any additional spending. That you would stand firm on requiring a budget and fiscal responsibility when you went to Washington. Now you come before us and try to explain why you gave them ANOTHER EXTENSION. LET THE GOVERNMENT COME TO A GRINDING HALT.
