The Help

Ah! My first blog post under my new blog and this isn't going to be pretty. I'll be pretty another day.

So, here's the headline: Terms approved for new Falcon's Stadium deal. Yep! I'm been hinting on my Facebook page for the past few months that the GWCC and the Falcons were going to build a new stadium and it was not a matter of public discussion or approval. It has been a deal in the works since 2010. But they could have at least given the public, the fans, and "the community" the courtesy of a "please, grab some Vaseline and bend over" first, (no disrespect to Vaseline), before ram-rodding the stadium through... Or, at least dinner and some wine.

Speaking of dinner and wine, this is what I posted on Facebook before the big announcement was made:

ATLANTA: Put this in your pipe and smoke it. THE VOTE GOES DOWN TODAY AND THE DEAL WILL IS ALREADY DONE. It's not a matter of IF a new stadium will be built, it's only a matter of time. We are going to get a new stadium, like it or not. It's funny, because when you read the comments section of all the articles and blogs on this story, the public doesn't want a new stadium. Falcon fans don't even want a new stadium. Everybody knows its a boondoggle, BUT OPEN YOUR THROATS 'CUZ HERE IT COMES! (Boondoggle: noun, work or activity that is wasteful or pointless but gives the appearance of having value) ... and if you think this will create jobs for "the community" and in the community, DONT BE BAMBOOZLED, TOO. The current Dome is already in "the community" -- duh! The only new jobs that will be created are the ones needed to build the new behemoth. And if you want a piece of the action. Stand in line, take a number, and have cocktails with a Republican Legislator.

See, here's the deal: (enter code words) Atlanta is a little blue island in a red sea (Georgia). The sea captains are going to build a temple on the island -- even though the island didn't ask for a temple -- because they can. And because Pharaoh wants one.

Ah, you can quit your caterwauling because there will be plenty of jobs making bricks to build the damn thing. Pharaoh is going to make sure the sea captains deliver to you all the straw, mud and water you need. He's going to pay them the big bucks to make sure of it. And once the temple is built, surely they are going to have to hire help to keep to keep the place clean, cook and serve food for the folks visiting the temple, and making sure stuff that needs to be hauled gets hauled. It's called jobs! Isn't that what you blue islanders want? And once they move "the community" from the community where they are going to build the temple, well, those folks can come back and get a job. That's what the sea captains are going to do for you.

Affirmative Action? What do you think this is? The '90's? You've got a black, er, a blue mayor and the airport. And he gets along with Pharaoh. Let Pharaoh and his rich white male, er, friends have the temple. You'll get to come to the games if you win the lottery. And you know you love playing the lottery. That, too, was a gift from the sea captains.

The sooner you redneckognize the better, that when it comes to the new stadium, you're just going to be The Help.
