Inside CL Most popular damn posts o' the week
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Sat, Jan 14, 2012 at 2:13 PM
We're spending this entire chilly weekend in our mud huts, chopping up our furniture to use as firewood, and eating insects. This is the new normal. Look away from us and the horrible goblins we've become and revisit this week's most popular posts on Fresh Loaf, now available in Technicolor.
1. You have to wonder if the Gwinnett County teacher who wrote the math test using slavery as an example stepped back once he or she was finished writing questions and said, "Now this is a great idea."
2. Early Wednesday morning, Capitol Police nudged along an estimated 35 people who'd been sleeping on a ledge for months within full view of City Hall, the Gold Dome, and the Fulton County Courthouse. Keep your eyes on this story.
3. Gov. Nathan Deal has earmarked $15 million in next year's budget to purchase land near the Georgia World Congress Center for additional parking, an expansion, or... a new open-air stadium which would make Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank ohhh so happy.
4. The Advocate's annual list of America's gayest cities is out and Atlanta, which last year took top honors, has fallen to no. 9. Behind Salt Lake City. And with a blurb about "gay clubs [going] off in Mechanicsville." Who writes these things?
5. MARTA, did McDonald's give you the OK to use the Hamburglar in that cutesy public service announcement?
