Last Updated: 6:00 PM 08/27/10 - When is enough enough? I mean seriously. When? I am a Georgia Bulldog. In the words of the late Herschel Scott of Monroe, I am “Bulldog born, Bulldog bred and when I die I’ll be Bulldog dead.” Now I realize that many people have recited that little ditty, but Herschel Scott — who is Bulldog dead — has it carved on his tombstone.

Last Updated: 3:54 PM 08/20/10 - So let’s see. Iran is about to go online with its very own nuclear reactor. Israel may or may not drop a bomb on it before they do. The economy still stinks. Two-thirds of Americans oppose a proposed mosque near Ground Zero in New York City and the speaker of the House says those people should be investigated. Our court system can’t seem to decide whether gay marriage is a go or a no-go in California. The U.S. is suing Arizona and Virginia is suing the U.S. (Full Story) |

Last Updated: 8:52 PM 08/06/10 - God bless Zell Miller. Now there was a governor. No. I mean really. Zell Miller had the best interest of the people of Georgia at heart in every decision he made — and he wasn’t afraid to stand up for what he believed to be right. Maybe it was his stern mountain upbringing. Maybe it was the influence of his mother, who had the gumption to haul rocks from the local river by hand to build a home for her family. Perhaps it was the training he received in the United States Marine Corps. (Full Story) |

HUCKABY: Grits is as Southern as breakfast can get

Last Updated: 7:40 PM 07/22/10 - I am a big fan of breakfast, which probably doesn’t come as a big surprise to anyone who has ever met me. Breakfast entails eating food, and it is obvious from looking at me that I regularly consume more than my share of food. (Full Story) |

HUCKABY: All your memories will last forever, B.C.
0 Comments
Last Updated: 5:38 PM 07/16/10 - My world is not as bright as it was when I went to bed Thursday evening. B.C. Crowell died Friday morning. B.C. was one of my heroes, as I have said many times. I know, without question, that he loved me, because he told me so every time I saw him. Now one less person who loves me has gone on to glory and let’s face it — in the world we live in, we all need all the love we can get. (Full Story) |

HUCKABY: Old men tell some of the best stories
3 Comments
Last Updated: 3:51 PM 06/25/10 - I’m a sucker for old men. They have great stories, and I am a big fan of great stories. Plus they have lived through so much and accomplished so much more. Harry Rubin is an old man — chronologically speaking. He was born in 1925, which was 85 years ago. You’d never know it by looking at him, however, or being around him. He is younger at 85 than I am at 58. (Full Story) |
