News Mark your calendars

If political fever has you in its grip, you can take the edge off tonight at an appearance by New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. At 7 p.m., the second-tier (third-tier?) Democratic candidate will barnstorm the, um, auditorium at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. What, you were expecting maybe the Georgia Dome? The event is $25 and goes to 8:30. You can find more info here.
Next: She's not running for anything, but first daughter and "author" Jenna Bush will appear at the Alpharetta Barnes & Noble on Tuesday, Oct. 9, to sign copies of "her" new book, Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope, supposedly based on her UNICEF experiences working with poor women in Third World countries. The signing starts at 7 p.m. at 7660 Northpoint Parkway.
However, if you go to to meet Jenna, that means you'll miss "An Evening with Zell Miller," a fundraising event for the Georgia Right to Life at the Norcross Hilton, 5993 Peachtree Industrial Blvd. (Ever notice how these things are always out in the 'burbs?) The $50 ticket price is almost worth the chance to hear our former governor say something truly nutty.
Speaking of nutty pronouncements, later this month you can rub elbows with unashamedly partisan Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who'll be in Atlanta Oct. 18 for an event hosted by, you guessed it, two right-wing groups, the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society. He'll appear at the Buckhead Westin, 3391 Peachtree Road. Tickets are $30. Register here if you dare.
