This morning, a top-secret vessel of some sort — probably a manned missile capable of completely destroying our freedoms — was spotted near the Gold Dome.

The pilots of these mobile weapons — weapons, mind you, that could cripple the United State’s robust automobile industry — are so proud of their mission that they now brazenly maneuver around the state Capitol. Fictitious sources say this stealth chariot of death was not an escape pod for Bernie Madoff, who was in the city this morning shooting a rap video at a prison before he enjoys a well-deserved vacation in North Carolina.

After the jump, the spy attempts to evade CL’s roving Homeland Security unit.

• All that rain isn’t for naught. Tornado watch issued for the metro Atlanta area.
• I don’t think you can get more corrupt than Guv. Rod Blagojevich, but hey, they can keep trying!
• So first the Obama camp had talked to Blago about President-elect Obama’s seat, but then no, they really didn’t … Well, turns out Obama himself may have had hand in bringing down the Guv.
• Congress nears a bailout for the automakers … and here’s a message from the automakers to you.
• … And Saturn owners are feeling a little lonely all of a sudden.
• Scary: ‘Hitler was the perfect boss’: Former maid breaks her silence on the ‘charming’ dictator
• The slow crawl of justice … Plaintiffs in the Exxon Valdez spill case just now begin to receive payments.

Not going to city hall, he's going down the street to CNN's Headline News (Image courtesy Clark Howard)

A heaping helping of news headlines from me exclusively to you; cuz that’s just how I aggregate…

• Clark Howard isn’t running for mayor, he’s got far more important things to do, like, hosting his own show on CNN’s Headline News.
• Another spoonful of schadenfreude courtesy Atlanta Magazine’s Steve Fennessey. I bet CL’s bad news is just making nice with their web traffic (no hard feelings, Steve, ours too).
• Speaking of which, are we to be in good company(?): Tribune Co. is considering filing for bankruptcy protection.
• Remember when gas was just a buck fifty a gallon? Yea actually, I just paid $1.39 last night…
• Should hospitals follow patients through Twitter? Sure, until they discover patients can block them … (and you should follow us instead).
• Well that was quick: Pakistan arrests suspected Mumbai terror plotter.
• Democrats want to give automakers a bailout, but with strings attached: they want a seven-person board to oversee the companies’ restructuring. They call it, the “auto board.”
  
• President-elect Barack Obama was on Meet the Press yesterday and reiterated the need to save the auto industry, but said it should be “conditioned on an auto industry emerging at the end of the process that actually works.” The cynic in me asks, “what about oversight to the financial industry?”
• Barry Cooper is your new BFF.
• And from one morning newsdome to another morning briefing, say hello to the Mother Nature Network.
