Another big deadline this week...

I'm back in Jackson today, after a very solid weekend, for what promises to be a busy week. By the end of Thursday, Legislators will have to act on all the bills that originated in their own house or those bills will be considered dead. Some will have to get creative to keep their legislation from dying.

We are moving closer to April 19, which is scheduled to be the last day of the session, but between now and then, hundreds of bills must be handled and the budget must be set. Some have said they expect the scheduled 103 calendar day session to run longer. I guess the current rules would have to be waived for that to happen.

Stay tuned.

I will leave you with an entertaining story, not at all related to politics or the Legislature, that I found on Fark.com, the best "non-news" news Web site out there. A bar owner got tired of folks loitering outside, and decided to do something about it, but his methods haven't been entirely popular. Here it is, the story of the day from the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
