Best Atlanta blog ever today: ATLMalcontent
June 21, 2007 at 10:54 am by Andisheh Nouraee in BlogrollI’m addicted to ATLMalcontent. I even read it when I’m on vacation.
It’s always sharp and funny, but for the past couple of weeks, especially so.
To be fair, the rest of the country has put up with considerable shit from the former Confederacy. John Edwards recently declared he has an advantage over Hillary and Obama because he can draw voters from across the U.S. — indeed, the South has essentially decided every election since 1972. We’re responsible for Carter AND Bush. We should be ashamed.

And should people who wear leather jockstraps in public expect to be taken seriously . . . We may compare our crusade to the civil rights movement of the 1950 and 60s, but can we honestly say we comport ourselves with the dignity of those who marched on Selma?
— From a post Monday about the politics of the gay Pride celebration
Please, grow up and mind your own business.
— ATLMalcontent’s request of Muslims who angrily object to Salman Rushdie’s knighthood
And finally:
Are you amazed at how fast summer’s going? One good thing — Pride’s almost here. I predict it’s going to be an amazing weekend.
Okay, bitches, gotta go and get my pride on. Have an amazing day!
— From “The Blogosphere Says What,” ATLMalcontent’s ongoing parody of local blogger Duane Moody, whose posts vacillate between righteous indignation and breathless enthusiasm
For those of you who read my cover story about the Atlanta blogosphere, note that Duane is the blogger I referred to in the introduction suffering separation anxiety from his foreskin.

I think I need to go get my abdomen checked; I was laughing so hard at the “amazing” post I thought I ripped a muscle. So AMAZINGLY spot on.
Of course, I’ll probably get banned for writing that.
