I’m not sure if Republicans truly believe they have a chance of beating Governor Roy Barnes next year. The fact is that they haven’t got a snowball’s chance in you-know-where if the best gubernatorial candidates they can offer are State School Superintendent Linda Schrenko (“Frick”) and Cobb County Commission Chairman Bill Byrne (“Frack”).

Apr. 2, 2001: Haul out the pine tar! Limber the muscles!
Grab the horsehide and swing the lumber! It is baseball time again! Time to once again greet America (On Line)’s team – the Atlanta Braves! Hope springs eternal.
