At CSI Crane we believe that these three pillars of corporate communication are inextricably linked. Too many companies too often handle their messaging, crisis management or day to day consumer communications with shoot and then ready & aim. Having worked with many of the most successful public and private corporations and non-profits in the southeast for nearly 20 years, we know that the most su

Another quiet and slow week on the national political scene... ;)
The latest polls across Georgia show that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are essentially tied in the state.
A bit early, getting harder and harder to stay caught up to all my deadlines, much less slightly ahead of this game. Next week's column -
One Man's Opinion, "The Not So Secret Service," Monday, July 29, 2024. The night of his visit to the Ford Theatre, to see a play which would not finish, second-term President Abraham Lincoln was working on a plan to establish a Secret Service, not for the purpose of Executive Protection, but to prot...
My column for this week. I believe Joe Biden made the right choice...for the nation, for his party and for his own family.
Biden has endorsed his Vice-President to be his replacement as the Democratic nominee, after formally releasing his delegates, but that doesn’t mean Kamala Harris as Democratic Presidential nominee is a done deal.
The pressure to step aside as a candidate has been rising to intolerable levels.

Always impressed by this kind of generosity, but even more significant when you note that Slutty Vegan founder, Pinky Cole, started her business filling vegan burger orders from her apartment via Instagram Delivers in 2018, followed by a Food Truck and three-months later a crowd of 1800 wrapped around the block awaiting the opening of her first free-standing store. Slutty Vegan now has a dozen location from Atlanta to Dallas, Brooklyn and Harlem, with more to come.
Founder Pinky Cole has an ambitous goal of opening one store per city per week in the not too distant future.
Don't know about you, but I am betting on Pinky.
Each graduate will receive more than $25,000 of in-kind services.
Ruh row...
Representative Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker and a longtime ally, suggested President Biden should continue to weigh the matter, after he made it clear this week that he’s committed to staying in the race.
A wonderful sit down with Georgia's incredible First Lady, Marty Kemp and my favorite interviewer...Monica Kaufman Pearson.
Marty Kemp has spent the last five years supporting her governor husband while also championing her own causes. Hear her tell Monica what she’s most proud of.

One of the best parts of my job is that I am able to frequently travel, and rediscover the most wonderful places and people across this great state.
And sometimes, those hidden gems are right next door. Suggesting, particularly for those of you who frequent Hartsfield Airport and are incredibly frustrated with the parking situation...check out nearby College Park...with LOTS of parking options, one MARTA station away.
A bit less than half of the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, its’ Main Terminal, Delta’s Concourse A, and the southern half of Concourse B, as well as the MARTA transit station and adjacent SkyTrain, connecting to the Georgia International Convention C...

First saw the musical, 1776 just prior to the American Bicentennial. I try at least once a year to watch it again, it always reminds me of our higher purpose and calling as Americans to keep the torch of liberty burning for the rest of the world to see...

Our father, my sisters and I spent the better part of three-years with our mother during that slow, halting walk into her sunset. There were of course moments of joy and memory, good days and bad...it was hard with almost each visit, finding a bit less of our Shirl was still there.
Happiest of birthday greetings to Olivia, turning 17 today. Being her father has made me a better human being, and though these teen years are like any others, she reminds me almost weekly to be thankful and greatful for the day to day victories in life.
Daddy loves you Boo Boo!
Not a huge fan of The New Yorker...but well said -
For the President to insist on remaining the Democratic candidate would be an act not only of self-delusion but of national endangerment.
Sharing a prior column, that is particularly relevant this week -
I first had the pleasure of meeting U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky in Scottsdale, Ariz., roughly six months into his first term. McConnell was energetic, vibrant, quick-witted, and very

The people of Douglas County, Georgia will be getting a new interim, and recently elected Judge of Probate Court, a bit ahead of regular schedule.
Word is that Judge Peterson is considering going on a "Still Winning" tour with Charlie Sheen.
Judge-elect Valerie V. Vie announced she'll be sworn in as former Douglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson's replacement Friday.
Abit was a young man, newly employed by the Georgia Poultry Federation making his name during the Georgia General Assembly.

More than just a Damn Good Dawg...Abit Massey was the epitome of a southern gentleman. He left us at the end of last week, seen here with his beloved wife, Kayanne.
Leader, mentor, friend and icon, for so many and in so many ways...all good. Always friendly and kind, always smiling, always setting the right example. If you want to help make this world a bit better, it's easy. Be like Abit. This week's column.
"Abit Massey was the very best Governor that Georgia never had," said close friend and longtime Gainesville, Georgia neighbor, former Georgia Governor Nathan Deal.

Perhaps a great way to start your day and officially kick off your summer.
The summer solstice will take place on June 20 this year. The word "solstice" roughly translates to "when the sun stands still," and the summer solstice marks the longest day of the year and the official beginning of summer.
From the out-state column syndicate, and the Jones County News, in Gray, Georgia near Macon -
I first had the pleasure of meeting U.S. Senator Mitch McConnellof Kentucky in 1987 at Scottsdale, Az., roughly six months into his first term.McConnell was energetic, vibrant, quick-witted, and very thoughtful in his public policyposition statements.
Tuesday’s primary runoff may give some hints about what to expect with November’s presidential election here in Georgia.
Admittedly more than a trifle biased, but please join me in congratulating Cody & Barclay Carson, one of my favorite couples and families on this planet, on their 8th wedding anniversary today (June 18, 2016)...as well as bringing the soon to be world famous, "Mighty Mites" into this world for us all to experience and enjoy.

The nearly one-week run of "The Atlanta Water Follies," has run its course, six plus days of service outages, low pressure and boil water advisories plagued our capital city as the heat of summer began to arrive.
The culprit? Nearly century old water mains, pipes and infrastructure. It will not be easy or cheap, but we are past time to begin the hard work or replacing those pipes.
This week's column -
As you cannot replace all pipes overnight, and as we bring in new and better pipes, sans leaks, rodents and other improvements, there will be cleaner water, and better water pressure, but also old pipes bursting.
A bit early to be daydreaming about the fall and SEC Football, but the pageantry, traditions and all the trappings are not all that far away, and if you are going to GO to the game, there is no better place to do that than our SEC. Have been to all but 5 of these stadiums and will add University of Texas stadium to the checked off box list this fall.

The 18-year-old Hinesville resident was accepted into more than 200 colleges and received nearly $15 million in scholarship offers, believed to be a national record.

The first nationally televised Presidential debate in 1960, carried simultaneously live on radio, was a gentlemanly contest between then U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, and Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, of California.
The hearing has been set for Oct. 4 and three judges are assigned to hear it.
HELLLoooooo Skynet. Concerning stuff.
Sorry about the Paywall, it's worth it.
A group of current and former employees are calling for sweeping changes to the artificial intelligence industry, including greater transparency and protections for whistle-blowers.
It is just TOO soon for this... I want some summer, this should be AFTER the Conventions and after Labor Day... So much for pursuing undecided voters.
