Did Fani dispatch 'revenge tour' candidates? | Remembering Ted

PLUS: A Democrat governor in GA having to work w/a GOP legislature & 'Friday Funnies'

Thursday's conversation with former Fulton prosecutor Will Wooten, running for a Georgia Appeals Court seat, dropped just before the AJC's Bill Torpy penned his op/ed where he somewhat insinuates that perhaps Fulton DA Fani Willis may have dispatched candidates for a 'revenge tour' of sorts.

Georgia Recorder columnist Jay Bookman offered more perspective on the Georgia Democratic gubernatorial race, noting that it's highly likely if a Democrat does win, they'll have to "work with" a GOP-led general assembly, and wonders which of the Democrats vying for the seat are best-suited to handle that task.

The passing of Atlanta media icon Ted Turner - who bought and transformed local station WTBS into the "SuperStation" that also introduced us to his other passion projects: the Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Braves, then launched CNN and CNN Headline News, thrusting Atlanta into international prominence the likes of which it never before saw - is quite notable. For one, I grew up wanting to BE like Ted, but for another, his passing reminds me that he lived the sort of libera/progressive life of success that should serve as an example in this Musk/Trump/Bezos era of self-gratification and excess.

And, as I do each Friday, I seek out some mental wellness and laughs with my good friend, comedian Sterling Thrill as we glance over the highlights and lowlights of another Trump presidency week "gone by."
