Perception of Crime Watch® has gone bipartisan!

Look what just showed up in Jim Wooten’s Thinking Right blog:

Oh, car hijackee and Atlanta City Councilman Ceasar Mitchell, was not the victim of crime; he was the victim of perception of crime.

How about that!

Perception of Crime Watch® is on the brink of becoming the most popular Atlanta Internet crime watch meme since mid-2007’s wildly popular I Can Has Crime Wave.

Don’t forget: Perception of Crime Watch is also on Twitter. Just add #pocatl to your posts and you, too, can join the fun.

(Thank you @mattgove finding the Wooten link and the bipartisanship)

Jason Pye at Peach Pundit posts an email from Susan Meyers that says Jim Wooten, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s lone conservative voice and a 30-year veteran at the paper, will retire this summer.

In news that may shock some, be regarded as inevitable to others, Jim Wooten, the voice of principled conservative thought at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, announced to the staff Friday he will retire this summer after three decades at the newspaper.

Wooten, an award-winning journalist, can be thanked for his years of columns and editorials calling on elected officials to spend taxpayer funds as if it were being depleted from their own wallets.

…

As the Associate Editorial Page Editor, it is believed Wooten will continue to post a weekly Thinking Right column as he enjoys life as a Middle Georgia farmer. To read Wooten’s bio please click here.

Who’s gonna take Wooten’s place? DaleC?

UPDATE: Here’s where to go for details if you’re interested in becoming the paper’s new conservative columnist.

The AJC may have more daily poll questions about what socks you like to wear or what disgusting caloric mess you want to eat — really, guys? — but CL is blessed with better commenters. Maybe not all the time, but even when they’re dicks, they’re kind of clever!

But check out Jim Galloway’s Political Insider post this morning about 40 percent of early voters being African American. The AJC kooky komment klan are livid — LIVID I TELL YOU — about the news, and in their usual way, accuse the paper of being a bunch of Communist hacks wanting us to wait in bread lines and also make broad claims against African Americans. Metro Atlanta rocks in that progressive way.

Let us bask in the wisdom of three dudes using different handles, copying and pasting the same trite Free Republic nonsense every single day.
