— Sometimes, the world turns upside down. DriftGrift offers up another "Morning Wooten" and — shock, shock, shock — this time, he actually agrees with the AJC's token conservative.

— Fortunately, Eddie picks up the sarcastic baton and runs with it at Chicken Fat. What's good for General Motors is good for the country? Forget that, he writes, what's good for me is good for the rest of country. He's going on a supremely greedy buying spree and can't wait for the government to bail him out.

— But who will be leading that government? Left On Lanier isn't sure, but he does recognize a smear campaign when he sees one. He offers up a very funny home-kit for coming up with Republican talking points. Someone please forward to Caribou Barbie.

Reporter-Cub supports a homeowner's right to fight against "the man." But his support ends when said homeowner paints his house in Florida Gator colors. 'Nuff said.

— Ah, the good old days. Travis at Lucid Idiocy watched Mr. Smith Goes To Washington for the first time and came away flushed with both idealism and cynicism. The flick may have been made in 1940, but should be required viewing for anyone holding elected office.

— And, finally, it's a bit of a shock that the fine ladies at Pecanne Log are only now discovering Richards Variety Store. There's a new location in Midtown, and they were properly charmed by the little slice of Mayberry in the big city.

I think you linked to the wrong one Scott. But thanks for the (many) plug.

Based on the logic and clarity of his writing, Wooten must be the AJC's "toking" conservative.

The "ladies" at Pecannelog are still pretty new to the city. They'll get the hang of it.

Sorry, DriftGrift. But the one I linked to was pretty good as well. I've updated the link. And Dale, great observation!
