Judge Declines Restraining Order ...  

...  The Hearing Will be Heard (click link to begin) ...

... And, After That Your Guess is as Good as Mine


Here's Your Lineup for Today's Edition of "Local Control Freaks USA."  Please note we are pre-empting Housewives of every other city because this will be far more entertaining.  Drink your Red Bull, Dr. Walker, we're hoping you can remain alert like we taught you in that acting class Mr. Thurmond bought for you.  Ms. Woods, just try not to threaten anyone, okay?  Orson, stop looking so happy and rich, would ya? It's annoying everyone else.  Nancy, Pam, great thinking to take the end seats so you can make a quick getaway.  The rest of you just, um, well, do whatever you want but check with the attorneys first.  We've now hired one for each of you and then we hired one for each of them.  We actually invited the Atlanta bar to fill in the background today, too, like they do in the People's Court.  Finally, you will be among your peers.  No, Jim, we said "peers," not beers.  Now, look alive people.  We have a virtual hearing to get through, remember?  

From left, in back, Marshall Orson, Jay Cunningham, Dr. Marvin Johnson,
Dr. Eugene Walker, Jim McMahan.

Seated, in front, from left:  Nancy Jester, Donna Edler,
Sarah Copelin-Woods  and Dr. Pamela Speaks.
As our new Superintendent (Interim) so eloquently stated, "I didn't hire these folks, you elected them."  We all have to accept that we own a part of the problem if we ever expect to find a solution.  (video courtesy of The Patch, Jonathan Cribbs)
Per Ty Tagami in the AJC:
“The state hearing that could unseat the nine members of the DeKalb County school board should proceed as scheduled Thursday morning, according to a judge’s order.
“Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kelly Amanda Lee on Wednesday declined DeKalb’s request for a temporary restraining order that would have halted the proceedings.”
