Fire the editor! Fire the publisher! Fire somebody! Hell, call a fucking exorcist over to Marietta Street at this point. There really should be an award given to this story for the hideous, patronizing writing “style.†From the AJC — apparently now hiring only the most ridiculous writers on the planet.
— Spacey at Mostly Media blasts the city's only daily for running what she considers an unrevealing fluff piece about Michelle Obama's former roommate at Princeton. AtlMalcontent praises the work, offering the notion that it's more revealing than it appears.
It is becoming more and more clear that Shirley Franklin's legacy, which once shined so bright, has turned to dust.

SpaceyG. I mean seriously, I if had to put the over/under somewhere I would set it at about 25.
Vernon did LaGrange? Did he wear a long fuzzy beard and spin his guitar...that would be completely cool.
Oh I hear she writes for at least 3000 blogs, with at least 622 known aliases. In fact, Spacey could very well be the entire Internet at this point... if it wasn't for that fucking pretentious wanker, Robert Scoble. Curses Scoble! I'll get you yet. Don't make me get the winged monkeys. Oh, excuse me, or as Spacey told me to say, as her Press rep, she says, and I quote, to tell Robert Scoble, "Don't make Spacey Gee loose those wing monkey creatures on your ass, dude."
