•Atlanta cyclist killed on training ride.

David Martin, a longtime Atlanta area cyclist, was killed during a training ride in Emerson, Georgia on November 4th. He was killed by a motorist. Details are sketchy, and there appears to be little coverage in the press. Martin raced for the Fulton Flyers Cycling Club and Genesis Scuba Cycling Team. As a cyclist he was a fearless sprinter and feared by other teams. He had excelled at collegiate, amateur and professional cycling. As a man, he was a husband, father, and loyal friend, according to those that knew him.

•South Knox Bubba developes self-service airport security check software.

Taking a cue from the self-service check-in many airlines now encourage, he developed software to streamline security check-in. Tennessee's new software darling!

•Another article about the Confederates of Georgia getting used again.

He called them rubes, heh heh.

Yes, the Confederates lost again. They got taken by a moon faced politician who was promising to hold a referendum on bringing back the old Georgia state flag. You know the one with the racist Confederate battle flag occupying the majority of it. I saw this coming a mile away. The AJC picked it up very quickly. Now there are even stories about it coming out of California. The rubes still have not figured it out, however. Should we start a poll on when it dawns on them?

•Garrison Keillor fires back at the Republicans.

You need Salon Premium to read it. This is one I wish that they would have publish for everyone.

The old GOP of fiscal responsibility and principled conservatism and bedrock Main Street values is gone, my dear, and something cynical has taken its place. Thus the use of Iraq as an election ploy, openly, brazenly, from the president and Karl Rove all the way down to Norman Coleman, who came within an inch of accusing Wellstone of being an agent of al-Qaida. To do that one day and then, two days later, to feign grief and claim the dead Wellstone's mantle and carry on his "passion and commitment" is simply too much for a decent person to stomach.

I have a hard time stomaching most "compassionate conservatives.".

•Morehouse junior recovering in school infirmary.

They are saying the attack probably came about because of case of mistaken identity. Regardless of the reason, one does not take a baseball bat to a person's head unless you are defending yourself from a deadly attack. Evidently sophomore Aaron Price did not like the idea of another guy seeing his little wee-wee, and so went to his dorm room, returned with a baseball bat, and started beating the unnamed junior in the head.

Aaron "Small Dick" Price has been expelled from the university and is out on a $10,000 bond pending trial for aggravated assault. Gay and lesbian activist groups are calling prosecution as a hate crime.

The amount of homophobia at the historic black university, as being reported, amazes me. A group of people who have fought against racism for so long, blatantly discriminates because of sexual orientation. This is nothing new and is certainly not the first time it is being alleged. Can't we all just get along?
