I was almost enjoying this losers diatribe against the Urinal/Constipation untill I got to the following:

"Here in Georgia, the Democrats and the AJC moved in seeming lockstep as they shed those qualities that had once made them both great. The fortunes of both were interwoven. Gov. Roy Barnes faithfully served the corporate agenda as enunciated by the AJC, and the paper and its top execs bestowed endorsements and money on their governor. And, as I pointed out two weeks ago, when Barnes got himself in deep shit with a thoughtless statement about dead kids, the Cox bosses tried to squelch news of the imbroglio."

So he's admitting the AJC is a little on the Left. Then this:

"Why should Georgia voters trust the endorsements of the AJC? There is no definition on its pages. It panders to the ultra-right with William Safire (who at least has brains), Bill O'Reilly (who doesn't) and Jim Wooten (a Republican shill). That phalanx edges out, by space and placement, the few moderates, such as Cynthia Tucker and Jay Bookman. The editorials are ho-hummers, for the most part, and the paper is more concerned with achieving "balance" (hard to do when you start from a far-right tilt) than with saying anything."

When Tucker is viewed as a moderate, the dems are definately in self destruct mode.

One reason for the loss of circulation is that more and more kids are graduating from Atlanta schools unable to read. The solution is to print more pictures.

A friend's wife works for the AJC. He called a few weeks ago and offered us a full year, 7 days a week for 57 bucks! I HAD been buying just the Sunday edition (for the TV guide and some coupons) for 2 bucks a pop. That's 104 bucks a year JUST for Sunday. The best deal we'd seen before his call with this "unadvertised promotion" was over 100 bucks.

We jumped on it -- if only to help hasten the AJC along the road to their almost unavoidable demise.

This, of course, is because the Loaf in general and Sugg in particular are somewhere to the left of Stalin.

Go figure.

If I had only known that Cynthia Tucker (ban all guns) and Jay Bookman (Bush wants to be emperor of the world) were moderates.
