I guess MARTA is just keeping up its racially insensitive history. I mean, you take the red line to go to the Braves’ stadium. So now the yellow line will go to Doraville.

Always happy to help my friends at Habitat for Humanity and the Oconee County campus of Gainesville State College.As much as I dislike Tim Tebow, and it has everything to do with him playing for the Florida Gators, the uproar over Focus on the Family buying an ad during the Super Bowl was hilariously blown out of proportion.
