title: And just like that, Georgia
---

And just like that, [Georgia has a new state flag](http://www.accessatlanta.com/partners/ajc/flag/images/explainer.gif). (link to picture of new flag) I never in a million years thought the Georgia legislature would act so quickly and painlessly. OK... I should be more specific. I never thought the Georgia legislature Democrats would act so quickly and painlessly. The legislature Republicans all voted against the new flag. The only thing the Republicans did, besides whine, is get "IN GOD WE TRUST" added to the design before they voted no.
