Rick Jackson forgot “TV commercial Rick Jackson” | Revisiting a thorny (Mary) Rose

Friend of the show, columnist ⁠Jay Bookman reminds us (and Rick Jackson) of the "Rick Jackson" Rick recalls himself being as a child: impoverished and in need⁠. As Bookman opines, it's as if Jackson forgot that child version of himself on route to crafting the sort of policies he'd put in place if he were to become Georgia's next governor. - - - Revisiting a conversation I had with Mary […]

A ⁠minor league baseball team wound up having to […]

Georgia Repubs accidentally mandate nail-biter elections? Rick’s running (from Keisha) … the no-show rodeo
