living there, but the knuckle draggers seem to still rule the proverbial political roost. It will be interesting to see who blinks first...I wouldn't put it past them to "stand their ground". Those with "sincerely held religious beliefs" are seldom the ones to bear the brunt of the outcome in any case.

Oh, and no Super Bowls in Atlanta? Now that might smart a bit. Hope they hold to that, as well. It may bring the KKKers out of their closet.
