Thumbnail image for blog_icon_thread.jpgQualifying begins today! Why am I dreading what we will find out? Rhetorical question by the way. We’ve already got one seat lost, Jason Shaw qualified as a Republican.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before–the Falcons’ draft was terrible. Mel Kiper gave it a C-. Sorry Jeff Schultz, but you are wrong about this. The draft is about selecting players who will fill gaps/improve your team. We may not know how they turn out but we can predict what will happen, which is what drafting comes down to.

Pretty much anytime I hear or read anything Archbishop Gregory says I am reminded how blessed the Archdiocese of Atlanta is to have him as our shepherd. He needs to become a Cardinal!

Not even 12 months in to his term and Kasim Reed is shaping up to be one of Atlanta’s greatest mayors.

Who has two thumbs and isn’t shocked? This guy.

I said to myself yesterday I wouldn’t link to the entire New York Times‘ Week in Review section, but clearly I have failed. This is cool, this is lulzy. A-Rod is a tool.

Jerry Weintraub was at the Commonwealth Club recently . He sounds like an interesting fellow. Told a great story about drinking with George Clooney that is worth a listen. It is rare that the Club doesn’t put on an interesting discussion.

A ridiculously BAMF apartment I was just informed of.

Nothing wrong with a little comment etiquette reminder. Nothing at all.

    as of today at Noon:

    Number of unchallenged Republican Incumbents or unchallenged open seats in the State House: 73

    Number of unchallenged Democratic Incumbents or unchallenged open seats in the State House: 64

    Those numbers should improve for the Dems by Noon tomorrow.

    Number of unchallenged Republic Incumbents or unchallenged open seats in the State Senate: 29

    Number of unchallenged Democratic Incumbents or unchallenged open seats in the State Senate: 19

    Big gap there in the Senate…oy.

    On Newspapers: The AJC does not crack the top 25 in circulation. But that’s OK, there’s only a select few in the South that do. But mostly? The newspaper readers seem to be Yankees, transplanted (retired) Yankees, or Westerners. Especially New Yorkers evidently. Go figure.

    And oh yeah, circulation continues to plummet for most too, down 8.7% on average:

    BTW: to borrow a line from my brother, thank god the Patriots didn’t draft Tim Teblow, otherwise I’d have to find a new team.
