8/20: Kathy Cox to join Foxworthy at “Are You Smarter..,” big Fish “Freedom” event August 30
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox will be competing for the season three debut of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” hosted by Alpharetta’s Jeff Foxworthy. It airs Friday, Sept. 5 from 8 to 10 p.m. So expect a few Georgia education jokes thrown in.
Supermodel Kathy Ireland will be on that episode as well. Later in the season, Foxwrothy will be cutting up with Gene Simmons, Dean Cain, Jennie Garth, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jack hanna, Star Jones and Ken Jennings.
-Check out this big free concert sponsored by the Fish and Ford called “Celebrate Freedom” on August 30 at the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers. You can pick up tix at Kroger, Chick Fil-A and Brusters. Acts include MercyMe, Aarron Shust, Jaci Velasquez, Chris Sligh, Salvador and Hawk Nelson. More info here.
-TBS has tapped Valerie Bertinellli (“One Day At a Time”) for a TBS sitcom. Not a lot of details but she’ll be playing a single mom.
-CNN last week announced it was moving solo staffers to smaller cities. The cities are Columbus, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham and Seattle. They will be culled from existing bureaus in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. As a result, CNN is shrinking staff selectively in some existing cities, including Chicago.
As the New York Times notes here:
Though the style of reporting has existed for years, it is being adopted more widely as these reporters act as their own producer, cameraman and editor, and sometimes even transmit live video.
-Newnan’s DeAnna Pappas was rejected by “Bachelor 12.” She rejected Jason Mesnick during the latest “Bachelorette.” So he’s now “Bachelor 13.” I found him incredibly boring. I’m surprised ABC is going to center a show around him.

Well having Kathy Cox on his show sure doesn’t do much for me. This is a woman who couldn’t even be honest with the teachers about the scores expected and the problems with the tests. Hey I got a good idea - let’s make Jeff Superintendent of the schools. I have no respect for Kathy Cox - none. If she was a democrat and did what she did to the teachers, everyone would be calling for her head to roll.

Does it make you feel good to make snide comments about typos on a message board or was Mom just late with the milk and cookies in your man cave (her basement)?

Here is an inside scoop. I, Wilford Brimley, will appear on the next Bachelor, after this latest loser is sent on his way. Some of the challenges for the potential ladies:
Who can call Liberty and get my testing supplies to me the quickest. I love a lady who can help me with my dia-beet-us and my testing supplies.
Who can fix Quaker Oatmeal the best for the ol’ Wilford? I love me a woman who can do magic with oatmeal. It’s the right thing to do.

Hey Kathy, instead of trying to get your 15 minutes. How about doing your job and try to improve the state of GA’s failing education system.

gainesville101…misspelling someone’s name, especially the subject of the article, is a huge journalistic faux pas.
It’s also not the first time Rodney has done it.

It’s great to hear that news about Keven and Taylor and FISH-FM. You know Kevin & Taylor are safe for the whole family. Did you guys know that. They are both wonderful people.
