Welcome to Wealthy Estate Home, Georgia!
February 25, 2008 at 2:44 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in NewsLast week, the grown-ups running Georgia’s House of Representatives voted to stop the state from issuing license plates bearing the mascots of colleges and universities from outside Georgia.
The move came just two weeks after an AJC report raised the specter of Florida Gators commemorative plates, and three weeks after the House cried like colicky babies about how UGA didn’t get to play for the national championship this year.
Tomorrow, Georgia’s House of Representatives will vote on a state constitutional amendment that will make English the state’s official language. Never mind that English is already Georgia’s official language, by law.
The resolution, HR 413, was introduced by Rep. Timothy Bearden, a Republican from, of all cities, Villa Rica.

A technorati.com search returns about 160 posts from a search of “Ashamed to live in Georgia”. Yours is #1. Does that make you the most ashamed blogger to live in Georgia?

I’m sure I’m not the most ashamed.

For a second I was dyslexic and thought this said, “Welcome to Wheatley Estate Home, Georgia!” I was like, yes please!

I did the same thing. Am still doing it. The Wheatley Estate Home is such a beautiful, in-the-wilderness paradise. Where chocolate cookies grow on trees.
