Pretty interesting write up about corruption in Congress. Lots of dirt on both sides.

An exerpt from the AJC Vent (courtesy of http://tenloe.blogspot.com/ )

"Why is it that Georgians insist on putting down Yankees? If all the Yankees left Georgia and took their revenue and Yankee ingenuity with them, you Georgians would be up the proverbial creek without the proverbial paddle."

'Note the typical Yankee arrogance in the above statement? Well, the following Southern response more than makes me proud... '

"If all you Yankees would leave Georgia and take your "wonderful" improvements and leave us up the creek then maybe the water would clear up and we could go fishing again."

Well put.....

The fact that this guy found the biggest diamond in the world with a shovel is pretty amazing. What's even more amazing is the comment that the average miner armed only with a shovel brings in 300-400 Carats a year for this mining company. If only they would give me a week over there with a front end loader...
