How Political Stagecraft Is Made In Crawford, TX

May 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Here’s an excellent, Johnny-on-the-spot interview from Crawford, Texas just this morning by an NBC cameraman. The cameraman turns the camera on, and around, with a documentary producer about just how they “do up” Crawford, TX when Bush is there. And when he’s not for that matter.
This is like the magician revealing to the public how they […]

Was MARTA Soulja Girl Really Arrested?

May 11th, 2008 · 4 Comments

UPDATE: Nifiza Ziyad (aka MARTA’s Soulja Girl) was booked into the DeKalb County jail, but on May 8th. Apparently, she’s still there. You can search this awful data base here in your own for more info and the mug shot and all that other stuff.
So, I must now assume that the YouTube video was the real deal […]

MARTA To SpaceyG: “Have a good weekend.”

May 10th, 2008 · 12 Comments

I’m trying hard, moreorless, here at the laptop to get to the bottom of this MARTA Media Mess. I got a lady from MARTA on the phone, who asked if I was a “TV station.” (Well, I can be!) When I told her I was a blogger, gave her my real name and my company […]

May 10th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Sandrarose.com is THE source for breaking news on the MARTA Soulja Girl saga. She has the mug shot now too.
Funny, this blogger I’ve never heard of up until now, one who typically has mostly rap music celebrity fluff posts, is suddenly News Source Central in this whole deal. Whaz up with that? Heck, for all […]

Rev. Wright - The Gift That WILL Stop Giving

May 8th, 2008 · 55 Comments

Is Newt the only Republican who senses those pesky ‘ole winds ‘o change ‘a blowin’? Of course it all could be backdraft from his own hot air, but The Newtster has his pulse right on America, again, in his wicked-clever, backhanded way.
For instance, he’s running around TV Land wagging his finger in the faces of fellow Republicans, saying essentially that Repugs will not get […]

Media Despair

May 3rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

Makes me wanna break down and cry to think that the only way one is now using one’s hometown news outlet (AJC) is to find Easy Recipes. Our cooking is just fine; our “newspaper” is not.

Sorry I missed yapping along at this one, but The Motherhood has a tighter grip on my weekends than those polygamist cultists do on teen girls. Fellow Peach Punditeer, Decatur Guy, was there though.

Georgia Gang Shocked, Just Shocked

April 20th, 2008 · 15 Comments

The Geogia Gang today universally agreed that people say bad stuff on the Internets. And people have been saying particularly icky-mean things about the Gena & Mike GDOT romance on the AJC blogs. And that, of course, people shouldn’t be allowed to say bad things, or have forums such as the AJC blogs to say stuff about […]

April 17th, 2008 · No Comments

The feedback on ABC News’ Charlie Gibson’s and George Stephanopolous’ debate performance last night is rolling-in about right now. And it’s not very pretty. From the NPR News blog:
Barack Obama’s performance during Wednesday night’s left a lot to be desired, but he’s not the only one whose performance has been panned. ABC News’ co-hosts of […]

Neal Boortz Crashes MDJOnline.com

April 16th, 2008 · 13 Comments

Awesome.

Popular Atlanta-based talk show host Neal Boortz seemingly has no problem overloading listeners with information on controversial topics - nor does it appear he has any problem helping overload Web sites.
Marietta Daily Journal’s Internet companion mdjonline.com was down for a little more than two hours Tuesday as a result of people linking to it from […]
