Atlanta blogs today
November 28, 2008 at 12:30 pm by Scott Freeman in Blogroll— It’s Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving hangover where we begin the annual ritual of creating creative ways to use leftover turkey. Hopefully, we’ll be so tired of turkey by next Tuesday that we won’t elect one to the U.S. Senate. Sean Quinn of the great FiveThirtyEight site, did a compelling analysis before the Presidential election, based on what he saw at local campaign headquarters that he visited across the country.

Quinn is in Georgia and stopped by Martin’s office in Gwinnett County — Obama’s field workers were there with a beehive of activity. Can Jim Martin shock the world?
— The folks at Down Right remain confident the Big Sax Machine will roll to victory. He’s got the money, he’s got the world’s greatest Tina Fey impersonator coming down and there’s the annoying fact that Martin has all the charisma of a rock.

— The media was all over the water shortage last year, but now it’s yesterday’s news. Funny thing, though. As Chad at Atlanta Water Shortage notes, Lake Lanier is about to reach an all-time low, which isn’t good news for those of us who consume its waters.
— And, finally, for those of you who still get your music from the radio, Gray at Left On Lanier has discovered a cool site for you. Type in your favorite station’s call letters, and the station’s play list is a click away.
