GEORGIA MARCHES BOLDLY INTO THE 19TH CENTURY

Finally, Georgia is No. 1. We have what must be the most NRA-friendly
gun laws in the country. Combine this with a statutory rejection of
the Affordable Care Act; requiring drug testing for SNAP recipients;
and refusal to allow medical marijuana to comfort ill children, and
our Legislature has really distinguished itself. But don't worry.

Anyone seeing one of our Confederate license tags will understand that
they have experienced time travel and landed squarely in the middle of
the 19th century. Or they might figure this out from the condition of
our crumbling roads and bridges, a consequence of the nation's lowest
taxes. Way to go, Georgia.
