Well let’s see… on Sunday he was compared to Stalin in a bit of artistic hyperbole wrought by the inimitable Rick McKee in The Augusta Chronicle’s Opinion section (below). Today Dr. John Salazar writes, in the Chronicle’s Letters to the Editor, of his disappointment with the collapse of the “Save the A” movement, throwing in a subtle, between-the-lines reference to …
Where’s the bone?
What bone? The one that was thrown to the Augusta community when GRU announced that it heard the public outcry to Save The A. That they would include Augusta in the name of the new university formed by the consolidation of Augusta State University and Georgia Health Sciences University. Well, they did save the A, technically, even if was only …
OBAMA TRIES TO SAVE THE A
CAN OBAMA SAVE THE A? He’s trying, but it isn’t going well so far. One thing you can say for Dr. Ricardo Azziz: the man is tenacious. And he’s what is sometimes called a company man. That’s someone whose allegiance to his employer comes before personal beliefs or loyalty to fellow workers. Despite poll results (which he requested), he mounted …

If the rumors are true, …

ANNOUNCING THE RENAME DR. AZZIZ CONTEST
You say you never even heard of Dr. Ricardo Azziz until a few short months ago? That’s just not right, and it’s a situation that we can all help correct. As a community, we should return Dr. Azziz’ favor and help him rebrand himself. Frankly, his name does not quite have “the cool factor” that it could or should have. …
