I just love living in Georgia

Surfing today, I learned that one of Georgia's representatives, Nathan Deal, who's going to run for Governor next year is joining with fellow troglodytes in sending a letter to President Obama asking that he produce his birth certificate. This is the same guy that got outed for making a couple of hundred grand a year on a no bid contract with the State and then tried to strong arm the head of the Department of Revenue into not changing the sweet deal he had.

Then I read this in Atlanta's alternative paper, Creative Loafing:

"Moral Georgia lawmakers could be offended by transgendered woman

The AJC’s Christian Boone today brings us the story of Vandy Beth Glenn, a transgendered woman who three years ago was fired from her state Capitol editing job. Why exactly? Well, her higher-ups feared she might be “extremely harmful to work operations” and make state lawmakers uneasy and Glenn, who was born Glenn Morrison, filed a federal suit against her former employers to get her old job back.
Here are some choice quotes from the deposition of Georgia Legislative Counsel Sewell Brumby, who was Glenn’s boss at the Capitol:

“It makes me think about things I don’t like to think about, particularly at work … I think it’s unsettling to think of someone dressed in women’s clothing with male sexual organs inside that clothing,” said Brumby, in a deposition taken May 11th in U.S. District Court in Atlanta. [...]

“I think some members of the legislature would view that taking place in our office as perhaps immoral, perhaps unnatural, and perhaps, if you will, liberal or ultra-liberal,” [Brumby] said.

Now on that last quote Brumby does have a point. The Georgia Capitol, after all, is a beacon of morality. No one’s ever raised flag about anything scandalous allegedly happening at the Gold Dome. Nope. Never. Check out Boone’s entire profile."

In case you hadn't figured it out, Creative Loafing doesn't align itself with Fox News.

I'm thinking Hannity or Beck could do a good half hour with these bozos and drive up the ratings with the true believers. I guess it's good to have Mississippi and that idiot Magistrate in Louisiana to lord it over if I've got live in this moral and cultural wasteland.
