Atlanta blogs today
September 4, 2008 at 11:10 am by Scott Freeman in Blogroll— It was Sarah Palin’s big night and the blogosphere is alive with reaction. First off, Travis at the aptly-named Lucid Idiocy checks in with his “jerk” reaction.
— But ATLmalcontent says liberals should at least acknowledge that Palin put on a good performance for the faithful.
– Decatur Guy doesn’t agree. He writes at Atlanta Public Affairs that he thought Palin — along with other speakers last night — came across as bitter, angry and condescending about Obama’s candidacy.
— Of course, Hurricane Gustav almost stole the spotlight from the Republicans and at Live Apartment Fire, there’s a nifty critique on how the local TV stations covered the weather event.
— While the Democrats and Republicans bicker, Atlanta’s still stuck in a massive traffic jam. B at Terminal Station takes a look at the state’s commuter rail plan and notes that riding a train will take longer to reach Atlanta than driving. Which leads him to ask: If we’re gonna spend all that money on rail, why in the world aren’t we doing high-speed rail?
– And, finally, the Daley Briefing puts it all into a deeper perspective with a letter from Iraq written to Audrey Marie, his newly-born niece.
