Atlanta blogs today

— For our friend at the Daly Briefing, who has faithfully documented his stay in Iraq, he has 17 days left before he comes home. And on his calendar, X marks the spot.

— DriftGrift started with his Morning Wooten, then lost all inspiration.

— What if they did a debate and nobody showed up? If you live in Atlanta, you probably saw no televsion coverage of Thursday's debate in the ever-tightening Senate race. Live Apartment Fire, not only notes the lack of coverage, but chides the one station that did cover it (WXIA-TV) for never actually showing footage from the debate.

— Speaking of campaigns, is it all about race in the presidential election between J-Mac and "that one?" At My Urban Report, A.man.I complains the mainstream media is focused on all the wrong things. The other night, he was watching a news show that delved into the question of whether Obama will suffer from the "Bradley Effect," where white people say they're going to vote for a black candidate and then lose their nerve in the voting booth. He's more interested in making an intelligent choice based on what the two candidates will do once elected. Maybe that's, like, too much work for them.

— And poor Reporter Cub is suffering from information overload. For him, there's 57 channels and nothin' on.

— Over at In Decatur, there's a great parable for the times ... all over a parking space in New York City.
