The state of Georgia is a fine and beautiful place (when you can see it; right now the smoke from wildfires yet burning along the southern border with Florida is making that a tad more difficult than usual), with many of both virtues and faults.
Its virtues include a lovely stretch of Eastern Seaboard beach, piney woods and gorgeous mountain scenery in the north, and a bustling, fairly cosmopolitan capital city (in which I live). It is also the state that gave us the late Lewis Grizzard, the equally late DeForest Kelley, and the thankfully-not-late GAFilk, among others.
But occasionally (such as when elections are held or the state legislature is in session), being a resident of the Peach State gives me and many others cause to cover our eyes, shake our heads and wince in embarrassment. So, on behalf of the entire state, I hereby apologize for the following people currently lowering the collective IQ of Georgia's population:
- the idiot who set the aforementioned wildfires (by accident, one hopes and prays);
- the other idiot who contracted tuberculosis and then went flying all over hither and yon on commercial airline craft, infecting God only knows how many others (the CDC sure as hell doesn't know yet, and they're working overtime to find out!);
- the still more idiots charged with preventing exactly this sort of thing from occurring when TB crops up, who let this clueless fucktard out of the state;
- and finally, the Queen of Idiots, the fundamentalist lady who is still, after losing at every judicial level, trying to get the Harry Potter books banned from public libraries in next-door Gwinnett County on the grounds that they promote witchcraft and are leading a whole generation of kids to Satan's arms...despite having (proudly!) never even cracked open the covers of a single volume in the series!
Folks, I am profoundly sorry about all this. I promise you, not all Georgians are like these simps.
