No Show Today

This is just a reminder that The Jeff Scott Show will not be on the air today.  We will return tomorrow with a focus on the Cluster story about our new Mercer Hilton.

“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”—President Theodore Roosevelt

Show Update

This is just a reminder that The Jeff Scott Show will not be on the air today due to a meeting of the Student-Faculty Board of Appropriations.  I will return tomorrow with plenty of news to discuss.

Best job market in 5 years for grads:  report

(Just something to note here:  the left-wing eco-fear-mongering piece is given a headline as if it is fact, while they have to attribute the good economic news to a report.  They’re both reports.  Thank you, Reuters, for showing us your left-wing bias this time.)

Show Update

There is still no definitive date for our return to air.  We are working hard to get our new automation system up and running, but it may take a few more days.  I will keep you posted here on JeffScottShow.com with any updates.

Could somebody please explain to me why I-75 needs to be widened through Macon?  Macon’s population is decreasing, plus there is already a bypass.  I have never seen I-75 congested south of the I-16 exit, but they want to widen it through Pleasant Hill, which is south of I-16.  A search of the GDOT website does not give any real explanation of the purpose of the project.
