Mrs. Jones of Georgia
>>> BUT FIRST A QUICK NOTE:
My former Congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney responded within an hour to my including her in my last emailing of the most recent blog post, asking for details on corruption, not only in Stone Mountain, where she had represented me, but in Wilmington, NC as well. We have only just begun . . .
But Cynthia FIRST made a name for herself when she represented a district in East Georgia, full of "hard-scrabble" small farmers, whose families had generations ago signed over mineral rights to corporations, due to her district having some of the largest kaolin deposits in the world. Any chemists out there know that kaolin has TONS of industrial uses, known best to us as what magazine paper is coated with to make it slick -- and it is the chief ingredient in Kaopectate, as well as in many fine chinas.
Although everything was actually LEGAL about these contracts, they were signed mostly by un-educated, country people (both black and white), in the early Twentieth Century, and the farmers had contracted to allow the corporations to strip-mine their farms for about ONE DOLLAR an acre -- and they were NOT repairing the land after they completed.
Cynthia DOGGED THEM, shamed them, etc., and she finally won greater compensation and got the companies to REPAIR the land after completion.
Ya don't SCREW with a good Georgia WOMAN!!!

BRILLIANT!!!
Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'
She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a
youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'

The defense attorney nearly died.
The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,
'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.
