Atlanta blogs today July 17 2008

— There’s still election fall-out on the blogosphere. Atlanta Public Affairs gives their take on Tuesday’s winners and losers. And GriftDrift recounts the scene as Democrats gathered at Manuel’s Tavern on election night.

— But Random Atlanta makes one of the best points. All those candidates got out and littered the city with yard signs; how ‘bout going back out and taking them all down?

— Over at My Urban Report, A.man.I gives his take on Jesse Jackson’s use of the N-word, and how Jackson told him a few months ago that he wants to ban the word. Guess since it’s not banned yet, Jesse still felt free to use it.

— So Maryk was fast asleep when he she was awakened by what she he thought was an owl on his her front porch. But no, wait, it wasn’t an owl.

— For everyone who’s ever lost a pet, Dusty pays a sweet tribute to a cat named Queasy on Pork Tornado.
