Dear Parents, Guardians, Visitors, and Guests,
We are excited to welcome you all to Dodge County High School’s graduation. Our school’s graduation is a time-honored tradition, and we are very proud of the ceremony that our school holds.  We, the Dodge County High School Seniors, would like to ask the community--including parents, visitors, and any special guests—to allow each graduate the opportunity to receive his or her diploma in a dignified manner. We respectfully request that there be no cat calls, outbursts, or yells from the crowd. A loud outburst for one graduate detracts from the next graduate. Also, we ask that all guests turn off their cell phones and remain seated and quiet until the commencement exercises are complete. Movement detracts from our graduates and their recognitions. We seniors also request that our guests respect the formality of our special occasion and dress appropriately and accordingly.  The seniors agree that anyone who violates these requests will be asked to leave the stadium. We enlist your cooperation and support so that we will not have to ask you to leave the stadium. On behalf of the senior class and student council officers, we appreciate your help with these requests and are glad you have joined us in the Class of 2018’s time of honor.  
Student Council President, Zalin Dennard
Student Council Treasurer, Erianna Cuyler
Student Council Secretary, Nicholas Brown
Senior Class President, Jade Honeycutt
Senior Class Vice-President, Alora Barden

Angry White Dude seems to have gone off the Internet and I miss him. He did a nice job and never sounded angry at all in interviews. He was friendly, savvy, articulate, very intelligent, even polite and good-natured. 
Is The Georgia Gang the only TV panel show worth watching? Forget those left-loaded Sunday shows on the big three networks and a few others.
If 90,000 people in Georgia have already voted as of May 11, that’s 90,000 too many, says Dick Williams, host of The Georgia Gang. I agree with him. Why have early voting? I like to see primary day and election day mean something. The Georgia Gang has good political information you won’t get elsewhere.
Bumper sticker of the day: Deplorable and Proud.

Many right-leaning people who read a lot and are politically savvy say Joe Sobran  (1946-2010) was America’s greatest political writer. I agree. [Full Story »]
