Chamblee54

On a slow afternoon, one way to pass the time is to edit the blogroll. At Chamblee54, the blogroll is like the hotel California…you can check in, but you can’t check out. If you are listed once, you stay there, until editing day comes. If you are no longer in business, you are deleted. Pictures for today’s excursion were taken by PG on Ponce de Leon Avenue.
Earthtodavid was the first to go. David is a man in Opelika, Alabama, (spell check suggestions:Apelike, Ophelia) who knits hats as a hobby. He was trying to sell them on the intertubes. When his latest effort was clicked on, a error code resulted.
Iraq Body Count is still in business. They show 97,082-105,855 documented civilian deaths from violence in Iraq since the “liberation”.
Iraqi Mojo (spell check suggestions:Moo, Mono) posted two stories on July 19. The first was a commentary on Jews in Iraq. The story is that, not so long ago, the Jews in Iraq were an important part of the community.
The second story is about an Al Queda attack in Baghdad. “Members of the Awakening, a collective movement recruited by the U.S. military to fight al-Qaida in Iraq, were attacked while waiting on Baghdad’s southwest outskirts to receive paychecks from the Iraqi government.”
In Iraqi blogs (the ones still functioning), the comments can be amazing. Regarding the story about Jews in Iraq, Anti-zionist said… indeed all iraqis were equal before the secular civil law and bond by the common feeling of belonging and loyalty to iraq.
but then the israeli intelligence through propaganda and false flag operations sew confusion and terrorized most iraqis of jewish faith into leaving their country and embracing zionism over iraqi patriotism and arab nationalism…as per the zionist stated mission and policy towards all integrated enlightened jews around the world since the creation of the movement.
the big bad guy with the moustache had nothing to do with it and was never against jews either…merely against foreign colonizers of arab land and their aiders and abettors, regardless of religion…its scorching hot in the summer…i strongly suggest mojo should take a break and go for a vacation, preferably in puerto rico with a few hot latina babes and a few cold beers. lol”
Two of PG’s cousins have a web presence. On the mother side, Mark is trying to save New Orleans from the ravages of G-d and man. On the father side, Jenny is a painter.
The last stop on this adventure is Live Apartment Fire. PG does not look at TV news, and is a bit underwhelmed by an insider look. However, today was a good day to drop in. LAF featured an interview with Karen Handel, that was never on the air. However, word about it got out, and is not flattering to Ms. Handel.
At one point in her career, Ms. Handel was running for Chair of the Fulton County Commission. This county includes Atlanta. At this time Ms. Handel got to be buddies with the Log Cabin Republicans, which is a gay organization. When you run for office in Atlanta, you do things like that.
Karen Handel is now running for Governor of Georgia, which is different from Fulton County. She now speaks “as a Christian”. The dialog at one point went like this:
Q: Are you against civil unions for gays?
A: Yes. I think that’s not an issue that has come forward in Georgia. We have the constitutional amendment against gay marriage, and I don’t want to see any taxpayer funding going toward benefits etcetera (spell check suggestions:veteran,eternal) for a couple that is not married. In our state and for me, marriage is for one man and one woman.
Q: Why is that?
A: Why is marriage between one man and one woman? (Laughs). Are you serious?
Sarah Palin recently decided to help voters in Georgia choose their next Governor. Mrs. Palin endorsed Karen Handel. In yesterday’s primary, Ms. Handel finished first, and is headed for a runoff with Nathan Deal. The reaction at Chamblee54 was “(Laughs). Are you serious?”
