UPDATE: Looks like it's going to happen. We haven't got it all confirmed yet, but when we do I'll update here and you can look for coverage in the paper as well.
UPDATE 2: Yep. Monday afternoon at the University Center at Mercer University. And if you don't get the reference in the subject line, do a freaking Google search and figure it out. Square.
UPDATE 3: The Clinton campaign is now officially confirming the event. More information is here. And I'm sorry I called you a square.

I usually don't get this far into rumor posting, but word on the street is local campaigners for Sen. Hillary Clinton are trying to get former Pres. Bill Clinton to stop by Macon Monday during his planned trip to Atlanta for Martin Luther King Day.
It wouldn't be Pres. Clinton's first visit to Macon. In 1992 he came through on his own campaign stop and, rather famously, took a saxophone hand off from a Central High School band member and played "Hey, Baby." He also visited in 1996.
For the record, U.S. Sen. John Edwards wife, Elizabeth, has visited Macon twice, I believe, over the last year, as I'm sure Amy would tell you.

Whoever solves this riddle gets my vote, regardless of what side of the aisle they are on.
Please God let Vic Chesnutt show up to this
And let's not forget our esteemed fellow blogger & State Rep Allen Peake: Rumor has it that after Cousin Sonny's recently announced, multi million dollar endowment to the (HHS's) Georgia Department of Human Resource's Mental Hospitals, which have been under federal investigation for a while, there will be approximately 17 million to spread among 7 hospitals. 2.43 millon each.
Sum total 2 million dollars less than the Downtown Perry Georgia Fish Breeding Lake that Cousin Sonny endowed last year.
Roget's says that "Go Fish" can be construed in many fashions, depending on the context it was uttered in.
And before y'all start yelling privitization, check out the Private Mental Health Care Companies that have bailed out of their deals with the DHR in the last year or so. I think they call that cut bait and run.
Congrats Allen, we all evolved from Fish but please don't become one of them:

PEAKE WINS AWARD
State Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, won the Bibb County Medical Society's Citizen of the Year Award for 2007, the society announced this week.
Peake, the society noted, "distinguished himself by being named to the Ways and Means Committee,
Health and Human Services Committee and the
Special Committee on Certificate of Need," among a litany or other accomplishments in what is now a yearlong political career.
Peake is starting his second General Assembly session in Atlanta. He was elected in 2006.
