Congratulations to Paul Broun. I’m eating crow for breakfast this morning, as I (like most others) predicted a Whitehead cakewalk.

— Jeff Emanuel at Peach Pundit, on Paul Broun’s surprising victory over Jim Whitehead in yesterday’s 10th congressional district special election.

Perhaps Broun can now use his power as a congressman to launch a federal investigation to determine how many guns Jim Whitehead owns.

I like the Falcons, and I am sorry Vick chose this path, but he did. Now, the bill has come due.

— Aging Hipster on the federal indictment yesterday of Falcons quarterback Michael Vick (aka Ookie and Ron Mexico.)

Who’d have thunk Marcus Vick would turn out to be the good son?

I think that I get my feelings hurt, or am disappointed, because I expect too much. Is it possible, that I put too much thought, guilt, worry, or anxiety into relationships, so much so, that I inadvertently cause the situation to go all weird? I wouldn’t think that this would be the case, because if it were, it would be the standard; and it isn’t.

I mean, I really don’t think that I do any of this outwardly, or even on purpose, but for whatever reason, I feel like there must be something that I do that makes people change. It is the only solution that I can come up with, although, it is really the only one that I can truly substantiate if it is reality. Again, I probably am over-analyzing things, but what if I am not? What if there is something that I do, something small, that causes these changes in my relationships with other people?

— Duane Moody wonders whether he’s at least partly responsible for some of his personal relationships going “all weird.”

However, along the way I’ve found something appealing and endearing in the legions of fans who faithfully follow one driver, one sponsor, one car manufacturer just as they go to the First Baptist Church because that’s where their daddy went and his daddy before. The simplicity of their loyalty has actually grown on me.

-Sara at Going Through The Motions on how she became a NASCAR fan and how Democratic politicians need to learn to relate to NASCAR fans.

Also, when I pay rent I will be taxed at 30%, whereas the guy who owns the land will not be taxed at all. Yeah, thats a real fair tax.
