Wait till he sees Hillary’s cleavage
The AJC’s Political Insider blog wins this month’s Worst Headline Evar!!1! competition with news of a local endorsement:
Hank Johnson pitches his tent with the Obama camp
Hank Johnson has plighted his troth to Barack Obama — the first Democratic congressman in Georgia to publicly align himself with that candidate’s presidential campaign.
I mean I know he’s bright […]

Turn on, tune in, geek out
For the seven of you that care, I’ve moved to a new location on YouTube: shelbinatorTV. That whole “shighsmi” business was just too difficult to convey quickly and accurately and thus a real buzzkill for my already developmentally-challenged viewership. I mean, not that you’re developmentally challenged, as a viewer, but that, you know, […]

Speaking for the homeless. Or not.
The Midtown Neighbors Association alerts us this weekend to an upcoming city committee meeting about funding for a large Midtown homeless shelter. The Peachtree-Pine shelter sits on the southern end of Midtown and, in my own completely unfounded anecdotal opinion, might be considered one obstacle to foot traffic between Midtown and Downtown, because there’s […]

John King on Joe Biden: the missing moments
Like an idiot, I accidentally taped over about 30 critical seconds of my conversation with John King in the spin room. Luckily, my live-streaming webcam caught the moment, and while the audio certainly doesn’t live up to miniDV, I supplemented it with subtitles for the hard of hearing.

Post-debate coredump
I have this problem with anticlimax.
Maybe it’s just a biological hangover that comes from two days of adrenaline, but I’m pretty sure it’s mostly psychological. I got the same way after weekend trips to the weddings of my college friends: I always hated the Sunday mornings. Friday night and Saturday were just […]

AC 360, 361, whatever it takes
My cellphone began to buzz happily at the beginning of Monday night’s debate as people began to inform me of my next several seconds of fame: my purty face went up on the big screen as Anderson Cooper chastised the Biden campaign for attempting to “stuff the ballot box” with the “Then What” question initiative […]

She’s got a crush on O’Biden
At least, for a while, it looked like it. Obama girl seemed positively starry-eyed in the face of Biden’s salty candor, but later insisted she is a “one crush” kind of girl.

CNN debate live blog
8:22 I’m going mobile. No more typing.
8:07 Richardson just said he’s trying to “provoke a debate here” and a number of us bloggers chortled in complete sarcasm. “You can’t have a real debate here, this is CNN.”
8:03 Taking a cue from Joel on the Biden blog I’m going to flip the order of my […]
