Notes From Atlanta

South Knox Bubba, the political analyst.

I don't think it needs anymore comment.

A comment from another blog.

"I think Michael Vick's completed more passes than he has sentences."

He may be right, but I don't think most people in Atlanta care if he speaks eloquently or not.

A family's dog is shot during a felony traffic stop.

A man leaves his wallet on his car at a gas station. When he pulls out on the road, it falls off and his money scatters. Somebody notifies the police, who coem to think that maybe mischief afoot. They stop the car, handcuff the man and his family, and shoot his dog. A hour later they release the family, apologize, and give them the body of their dog to take with them. What kind of idiots are on the Cookeville, Tennessee police department? Unbelievable!

Update: For more info on James Smoak, his family, the Cookeville, and the Tennessee police officer who shot their dog, please go to later posts here.

An amusing post on threatening emails from Lean Left.

He actually gives you advice on writing better threats.

3) Do your research: Another example:

"I will kill yr[sic] fuking[sic] dog!"

I don't have a dog. This kind of sloppy preparation renders your threats ludicrous as opposed to credible. Go ahead, kill my dog if you can find it. You see? I was able to dismiss your threat, which, based upon the grammar and spelling, I am sure you spent hours constructing, in a matter of seconds. A very poor return on the time you invested.

While I am not popular enough to receive threats, I appreciate Lean Left's effort to help educate the less educated or creative who would certainly email me if they actually read my blog.

I am sure that if you just follow these simple rules, I will receive a much more amusing brand of hate mail. You can rest assured that, if your hate mail follows these rules and manages to be amusing, that I will spend - at least - three seconds on it. Just think, with a little work and some common sense, you could potentially disrupt my life for three entire seconds. Your parents would be proud.

My suggestion to threaten Lean Left would be:

"I will break your right leg in so many places that it will heal shorter than the left leg. Then you will always lean right."

However, I like the guy's blog, and so maybe him and thus I would never send him threatening emails. Freepers feel free to use the above threat. I am sure you will really scare him, or perhaps amuse him- for about 3 whole seconds.
