The big winner from Sunday’s snore-inducing loser of a Super Bowl might be a Georgia’s own Coca-Cola. Their rival Pepsi decided to bet the ad farm on backing what from start to finish was a plastic, non-compelling, vapid, (insert your own adjective here) contest. Coke reportedly decided to put its big bucks into the Winter Olympics and the many hours of broadcasts scheduled to start later this week. James never found the sport of curling to be all that compelling, but now we’re waiting breathlessly for every motion of whatever it is they fling across the ice to move that giant whatever you call it. …Oh, and speaking of one of the worst Super Bowls in history, it could also be termed “Atlanta’s Revenge.” Yes, the Falcons fell to Denver in the 1999 contest to decide the 1998 NFL champion. But the half-flat Falcons of that year look, in retrospect, more like Joe Namath’s New York Jets of 1969 when compared to the Broncos in this year’s fiasco. Don’t give up Falcons fans, our day will come. Super Bowl…SINKING…Falcons, hopefully RISING in 2014.
Moldova soon to be welcoming a Georgian
It is rare for a native-born Georgian to serve as an ambassador to a foreign nation, but J. Mark Burkhalter is one of that elite having been nominated by President Donald Trump and then just confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Moldova. The Alpharetta native represented north Fulton County in the General Assembly for 18 years and briefly served as speaker of the House of Representatives. A successful real estate developer, Burkhalter is a University of Georgia alum with a double major in German and Slavic Languages, and Global Studies/Political Science. As he prepares to locate in a country (a U.S. ally) bordered by Romania and Ukraine, his boat (and Georgia’s) is RISING….
