I am surrounded by idiots...and embarassed
No I cannot afford to move. Look and point and laugh
at how the locals 10 miles down the road brought
in the new year.

Yes, I am a cultural snob because these folks are for
real and never ever want to vote their interest or
become the best they can be unless it is a killing
or a  better tackle for the Football team.

I am too liberal and so out of my element in these parts. Bad part is, I was born not 10 miles the other direction.
The Great Possum Drop of 2010.

http://www.times-georgian.com/...

This  is the real south and the real Ga. 20 miles
in any direction from downtown Atlanta.
Most of These folks are the ones who are PROUD to be racist and yes are the first to tune in to Rush and get all weepy and oozy over Palin.  They
are real.  They don't want universal healthcare.
They don't want good health even.  Look at the menu..All fried foods.  Look at them.  This is
the teaparty folks who have not progressed since the Jim Crow era and love them such George W Bush.
Check out in the local rag, the beautiful Pink
Camouflauge hats with a gun over the Possum.
check out the new item next to Fried chicken, The Funnel Cakes.  Look at the band.  The Gypsy something or another.  Check out their proud to be Hillbilly cafe.  People speak of the ignorance
of Appalachia and yet not 40 miles from Downtown
Atlanta is this kind of celebration.  
Two to one that possum got eaten after the festivities.  

Two to one most got rip roaring drunk and then studied the next day for their
Bible class the next day.  Some of these folks
are teachers.  They are the real southern folks in West Ga.  They are meth infested as well.
Laugh.  Go ahead..point and laugh....Some of we
free thinking folks drop our head and don't even
try to have an intelligent coversation with these
koolaid sippers.  

I cannot move.  I have a sick disabled vet hubby and a Daddy suffering from Alzheimers and 4 kids.
Upside down on the mortgage and just plain stuck here in Hillbilly Haven.  I personally think the area has regressed but then again, maybe they are just more open.  Who knows?
I hope Olberman or Rachel pick this up and show it because the local yokals found it important enough to make it front page news.  
These same people wouldn't give much at all to help local vets organizations (or maybe the ones they know liberals founded). (Even if the organization is totally non partisan.
Yes this is where the conservatives get their juice.  
Do they have this right for this celebration.
You betcha.  I just can't believe these folks
are celebrating 2010 arrival with such backwoods
culture.
