From ‘Friday Funnies’ to Burt’s timely disdain for Jackson cash & now Georgia’s a ‘toss-up’

Sterling Thrill w/the Friday Funnies - and Georgia's GOP soap opera rolls on

Friday’s Ron Show features a weekly comedic therapy session; therapeutic for me if for no one else, that is. My good friend Sterling Thrill – stand up & virtual comedian & political satirist – gives me my weekly ‘break’ from the headlines … to laugh at those headlines, to start the show off on this edition.

Then, the nasty race for the GOP nomination for Georgia’s governor’s race is the best soap opera. In the latest gasp-inducing move, Lt. Governor Burt Jones – once ⁠a beneficiary of Rick Jackson’s political spending sprees⁠ – has some ‘timely’ concerns with J⁠ackson’s company having a no-bid contract with the state⁠ (for SIX YEARS!) and took the unusual step of taking the mic at the state Senate to harp on that connection (that he had NO problem with for SIX YEARS til now) promoting⁠ legislation directly targeted at candidates like Jackson⁠, barring a Georgian from running for state office if they’re engaged in state contracts. Again, timely.

Also on the gubernatorial front, ⁠Georgia’s now a “toss-up” state, according to the Center For Politics⁠. All the more reason Democrats have to get their pick right in May (or whenver the run-off occurs after May 19th).
