It is truly sad to see Paul go, but he accomplished a lot while he posted at RR. Good luck with your new job, Paul.

In the mean time, check out UGA News for the latest news at UGA.

You probably noticed the new look. I’m not terribly fond of it, but it is easy, clean, and it loads fast (the last theme took forever to load). If anything happens to be broken, please let me know in the comments or at the contact page.

I’ve been terribly busy this semester, so posting has been down, but I am trying to pick it back up. Hopefully the past couple of posts (and a new one about The Key!) will pique your interest.

I’m also working on a couple new projects related to the University of Georgia, so I will post updates on here when the time comes.

Otherwise, thanks for visiting the site even when I haven’t been posting too often!

Don’t forget, you can also subscribe through RSS with the main feed or the comments feed. If you don’t know what RSS is, try this page.

Please let me know, in the comments on on the contact page, whether or not you like the new theme.
Thanks for the patience while I get this working!

*Update*
Text color is changed, and the Meta (Rss feeds and such) are back on the sidebar on the right. Now, if I can change the text of my comments.

*Update 2*
It seems that post of the page load problem (it is taking a little while to load the website) is a network problem, so hopefully that will be getting better shortly.

*Update 3 [December 27]*
You can now see which comments are mine! Technical problem on the site is now fixed, but for an example of the now fixed problem, look at my comment here. Also, you can now subscribe to Hatin’ SGA by email by clicking on the link in the Meta section of the sidebar (on the right).

*Update 4 [December 29]*
The text in the blockquotes is now a whiter shade of grey, so it is a bit more readable.  If you have any further problems with readability, hit the comments.  Thanks for the patience!

And, please, I like hearing your problems with SGA.  You make my life easier, giving me fodder for future posts.

Thanks, everybody, and keep checking the site!

So several members of our wonderful SGA owe an apology to a couple of individuals, since they were pegged early on as the “leaks” (falsely) and were treated roughly and unfairly by the current administration.

I made this website in the hopes of bringing light to the wrongs within the UGA Student Government Association. A lot goes on within SGA that many people have no clue about, and I seek to shed some light on much of the back room BS that goes on with SGA.

Some within SGA have accused me of making this site because I was upset I lost in the last election. To the contrary, I ran for Vice President, but after losing, I dropped my qualms with the winners and joined their administration to help students. I took part in this administration as Finance Director, from which I recently resigned.

Another myth I would like to bust right now is that my resignation as Finance Director was somehow related to this website. I resigned as Finance Director, ironically, only hours before I was given an ultimatum by Senator Brian Dunn to shut down this site, but for separate reasons.

I resigned as Finance Director because of the problems within the SGA administration regarding their expenditures. You see, last year, the SGA overspent its budget, and this term they had to make up for it. You’d think after a boneheaded mistake like that, they would learn and correct the problem.

But to this day, SGA does not have an active balance sheet, a record of their current cash-on-hand. I worked as Finance Director to aggregate this, but after months of dedicated work, realized that the members of SGA who spend our money mercilessly have no respect for the money or us students.

I resigned because I do not want to be responsible when the same mistake happens again, and the next SGA administration gets shorted on their budget.

One last lie to debunk – thank you, Jamie and Matt, for the ASSumption – is that I have no plans to run for any office during the next election. I have been contacted about working to abolish SGA, but I have made no decision whether or not to assist.

In the end, I think it is up to the readers to decide whether I have accomplished my mission to inform the students. You may disagree with the manner in which I gained notoriety, but I have no regrets. I have brought attention to how the SGA does its business (very secretly), and for that I am glad.

And for everyone new to the site, feel free to browse the archives, subscribe to the RSS feed to stay up-to-date, comment on any of the posts, or leave me a message. Thanks, and don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere!
