Scandals, Inert Gasbags, Fiascos
Hilarious! Check out the Periodic Table of Criminal Elements. They even got Zell in there!
Mad Love for my home state!
Love the title and the pictures… Edison is a cool town. Way to go Congressman Frank Pallone, who by the way is so cool he marches proudly in the NJ Pride Parade with the Transgender Community!
NASA Administrator and climate change.
WTF? In an on-air interview on NPR this morning, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin had this to say about climate change: I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists. I am not sure it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with. He goes on to say that [...]
Jekyll Island saved
In the midst of everything that Special Sonny vetoed yesterday (which sadly didn’t include his stupid “Go Fish Georgia” initiative… I might just start a “You Know Your Governor Is A Redneck When…” book), he actually signed HB 214 to protect the south end of Jekyll Island (well, at least sort of protect it). Yay! [...]
Atlanta’s Next Mayor
Looking at places to relocate and came across this on the San Francisco Examiner: – San Francisco’s next Mayor This is pretty funny and good stuff. The profile on Snoop Dogg is pretty true about today’s politicians. I doubt if Atlanta’s local paper (how many people actually still work there?) will do something like this [...]
Bon voyage party for Doug Monroe
Doug Monroe is (gulp), moving to Brooklyn this Monday to teach school. I can hardly believe he’s leaving, nor can I believe he couldn’t get a teaching gig here where we need him most. He will be very, very much missed. This Saturday night (June 2nd), there will be an impromptu send off for him [...]

The location of the crime was the Exxon station at the corner of Monroe Drive and Ponce de Leon Avenue. Apparently they refused to call 911 for him. This afternoon he is staging a [...]
Wednesday Open Thread
Must be nice living in your own fantasy world. Valerie Plame was too covert! She was! She was! John Edwards banks on populism. Seriously, who still thinks Giuliani is so great?
The Bees. The Bees.
Salon offers expert views. They don’t think it’s cell phones. It may be cyclical. Or it could be genetically engineered crops and/or insecticides. Check out the smart guys discussing it over at Salon: Who Killed the Honeybees?
Supreme Court creates unrealistic standard for Plaintiffs in Employment Discrimintion
The Supreme Court decided 5-4 that pay discrimination damages should be limited to the 180 days before an EEOC complaint and not for the entire history of the discrimination. Keep in mind to allege discrimination you have to show that others (in this case, men) were making more than you (in this case a woman) [...]

Ehud Barak, former prime minister of Israel is the the leading vote getter heading into the runoff. This election will determine who leads the Labor party in Israel.
