Fresh Loaf

The people have spoken!

Local blogger Rusty Tanton — a Decatur resident who mounted a one-man write-in campaign to be elected Cobb County Tax Commissioner — received more votes on Nov. 4 than the Son of God.

This was quite the coup, if I may say. Tanton was able to trump such notable candidates as “Keith Richards,” “Obi Wan Kenobi,” “Zombie Reagan” and perennial officeseeker “The Hell With IRS :].” “No More Evil Nazis” and “Paris Hilton” polled favorably, but alas, their respective public foibles — silly moustaches and sex tapes, respectively — ruined their chances.

State Sen. Vincent Fort, D-Atlanta, received one vote. Really.

Lovers of the late-night patty melt and mindblowing chocolate pie now have a place to go where they can bow down before the gods of grease. Local bloggers Rusty Tanton and Amber Rhea visited the just-opened Waffle House Museum in Avondale Estates — the popular chain’s original location — and have photos, trivia and thoughts about the joint. View Rusty’s musings here. Amber’s photos and thoughts are here and here, respectively.
