Neetzan Zimmerman · 04/15/13 08:30AMWhile many shake their head in disbelief at the continued existence of a segregated high school prom well into the 21st century, Georgia governor Nathan Deal, in whose state the aforementioned "separate-but-equal proms" are taking place, refuses to express support for an effort to hold Wilcox County's first ever integrated prom.

Taylor Berman · 03/25/13 07:57PMGeorgia and Tennessee have been engaged in a long-standing battle over water rights. The dispute has to do with the Tennessee River and, as Georgia claims, state boundary lines that Tennessee may or may not have claimed from its southern neighbor in order to control the river and all the drinking water it provides.

Georgia Lawmaker's Terrible Grasp of First Amendment Rights Results in Hurt Feelings and Porn Star Photoshop
Taylor Berman · 02/11/13 08:04PMGeorgia State Representative Earnest Smith has a problem with Photoshop. Specifically, he has a problem with it being used to cause an "unknowing person wrongfully to be identified as the person in an obscene depiction." So, along with fellow Democrat Pam Dickerson, he's trying to make such depictions illegal and punishable by a $1,000 fine. Would, say, taking a Georgia state representative's head and photoshopping it over a male porn star's body fall under such a law? Because that's just what Georgia Unfiltered's Andre Walker did last week (see photo above).

Max Read · 11/09/12 10:58AMAs we wrote last night, dead Englishman Charles Darwin received some 4,000 write-in votes in the race for Georgia's tenth congressional district, owing to the anti-science statements of his, uh, opponent, Republican Rep.
