Atlanta blogs today
December 5, 2008 at 11:46 am by Scott Freeman in Blogroll— The state’s in financial distress, the city’s in financial distress and just about everyone I know has either been laid off or else walks around in fear of being laid off. So what’s to be done? How’s about we wipe out all the black colleges and merge them with integrated colleges? Erick at Peach Pundit thinks it’s an idea whose time has come.
— DriftGrift weighs in on that prospect and discovers what he thinks is a rare branch on the political motivational tree: Insanity. Or else a really clever Trojan horse ploy to put the Democrats back in charge.
— The election season’s finally over and the Big Sax Machine was peacocking on Fox News about how he’s single-handedly put the Republican Party back on course and how Obama’s reign of terror is really over before it hardly begun. Whew, talk about insanity. Decaturguy at Atlanta Public Affairs points out that Big Saxy is giving a self high-five. After all, he was the incumbent, he was up in the polls and he had more money; why is anyone surprised that he won? Doesn’t the fact that he was pushed into a run-off despite those advantages say more?
— Did Caribou Barbie carry the day for our shameless one? Hardly, but she did look hot in those campaign outfits that she was supposed to have returned weeks ago to the RNC. Over at Live Apartment Fire, Doug takes a deeper look into the infamous dead turkey video. It turns out the cameraman alerted her to the, er, work going on behind her. “That’s OK,” she replied. “Let people see where their food comes from.” Uh, no.
— Thankfully, as Andre notes at Georgia Politics Unfiltered, Mr. CEO is ready to rescue the Georgia version of the Democratic Party. Wow, I feel better already.
— And, finally, Gray at Left On Lanier has another lurid edition of the “world’s most inappropriate candy” Disney-style. Have a great weekend, bloggerheads.
