On Zoller and Bryant this morning we'll talk about that amazing Falcons playoff game.  I hate the Seattle Seahawks, let me be clearer, I think Pete Carroll is a cheater.  He was a cheater at USC and he's a cheater in the NFL.  I will always root against him.  The Falcons played their hearts out and didn't give up even when there were only 31 seconds left.  I'm not sure what happened and who called the time out.  Pete Carroll is complaining about the refs, but if you look at the replay.  The teams lined up and Carroll called a Time out before the snap and the missed field goal attempt by the Falcons.  That gave the Falcons another try.  The replay was conclusive.  Then intercepting in the endzone to end the game was amazing.  So the question is, if the Falcons win the Super Bowl, will it be easier for the legislature to approve the Stadium.  This was an issue in my Congressional Campaign. I just wanted the legislature to admit it was a tax increase, own it and then defend it.  It looks like that's what they are going to do now.  But the rationale is someone else is paying it since it is hotel/motel tax.  What do you think? 

The Georgia Legislature is in session beginning today and we'll see what they will do. The Governor's office wants about 6 pieces of legislation and no drama, but with 236+ folks trying to make their way in the world, not a chance.  So what will the controversial vote be?  I think it will be around guns.  At this time, I am not seeing the usual debate around life and marriage as the lightning rod issues. 

The legislature will be taking up some gun legislation.  Did you notice the increased reporting of "gun violence?"  Wonder if there are other violent crimes being committed.  Here are some other issues that might be taken up:

And the Flu hit my house this weekend.  And doctors are terrible patients.

Finally the Golden Globes.  I loved Skyfall and the song by Adele.  I know James Bond will never get best picture, but they should.
