LETTER READ THIS MORNING ON THE KENNY B and JAMI G SHOW
re: RECALL ELLIS
re: RECALL ELLIS
Kenny and Jami,
Recall Ellis was doomed from the start. Even if it is able to collect enough signatures to force a 'recall election', it will fail for the simple reason that the city now boasts a majority-black voter base. The pride of the Black voter will simply not allow the first African American mayor in the city's history to be cast aside by a group that is virtually one hundred percent white.
Is this 'racism'? No. But it is 'racial'. And that's a fact of modern political life.

IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT...
It’s hot in Macon this week.
Of course it’s hot over much of the US, but ‘tis summer and records are being set all over the land.
But there is something special about the deep heat of a middle Georgia summer. Having experienced the searing temperatures of North Africa and the Middle East, ours is worse. It crawls into your flesh, somehow, deep inside and stays there for well onto ninety days.
The only way to escape is to stay inside something air conditioned. But that’s not much good to anybody who lives an active life. Right now the temp hits 90 before nine in the morning. At eleven PM it’s still ninety, having peaked at over a hundred some time in the course of the afternoon.
It’s a very moist heat. High humidity only accentuates the soaring mercury. A shower offers little relief; same with the pool or beach. The cool down is temporary and we have to get right back into the breach as soon as it is over.
How hot is it? The cats go out at 6:00 AM. As a rule they like to hunt anything that crosses their path….birds, moles, mice, snakes, squirrels, This morning I saw a large squirrel walking between trees less than ten feet from Jihad’s nose. Now Jihad is a neutered male who has no idea his manhood was untimely ripp’d by a friendly vet. His is normally perky, sassy, playful, and can easily spend most of a day searching out his wily prey. Not today. The bushy tailed critter was walking slowly within an easy pounce of the feline, and all Jihad could do was watch his progress. A truce has been declared among the denizens of the back yard.
You would think the Shiites and Sunnis could do the same thing.
