I heard Culture Club’s “Karma Chameleon” on the way to the post office today. It was a welcome change from the syrupy Christmas Muzak that the City of Adelaide has decided to pipe into Rundle Mall to inspire that festive spirit and loosen the purse strings. Every time I hear “Karma Chameleon”, I have a [...]

The dark cloud always waiting for you.
“IF there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.”*
I’ve been pretty hard on the American Dream lately, have made [...]
Obamanation – Live Blogging Part 2
Noon – November 5 – Adelaide
Stowed safely away from high maintenance students. Let’s get down to business. Fox, always the stalwart of responsible journalism, has it Obama 81 – McCain 39. Clearly in the tank. NYT has Obama ahead in Florida 53 – 47. My former home of Columbia County voted 66 – 34 for [...]
Come On America!

American artists, Florida, Football, Friends, Georgia, Georgia Bulldogs
Well, there have been a lot of strong words and emotions thrown around in these Deep South Smack Talk posts this year. We’ve had Alex call the Dawgs “Pop Warner wanna-be’s” and The Vol Abroad question my parenting skills. This is to be expected when debating the merits of SEC football teams. I don’t think [...]
Deep South Smack Talk: My Friend The Enemy
In celebration of the imminent humiliation for the state’s flagship university, I’m happy to present an expanded Florida Hate Week edition of Deep South Smack Talk.
