The Hawks won last night at Phillips Arena to even their series with the Celtics at 2-2. Here is a video of Al Horford (who we officially forgive for having gone to Florida) getting in Paul Pierce’s grill in game 3. Just prior to this moment Pierce had taken a flop that would have made Cristiano Ronaldo proud

EDSBS has this cut from the Cartoon Network show Squidbillies. We pretty much already knew that God sounded just like Larry.

We are in the eye of the finals hurricane. Here is another AJC story on GSU football.

We saw this article in the AJC. Grady says it may not be able to work the Peachtree this year. They go on to say this.
The overall cost of Peachtree coverage, not counting setup, is close to $20,000, Grady officials said. Grady does not bill the Atlanta Track Club, which furnishes some equipment to the bike teams. “It’s the hospital giving back to the community,” Davenport said.
Wow, whatever will the Road Race do? We are guessing they will hire a private company to work the event. Some quick arithmetic indicates that $20,000 is barely more than one percent of the amount of money brought in by entries alone. Add sponsorship dollars and we are guessing this sum equates to less than one-half of one percent.
[Taking bids now!]
This is not a clever ploy. Outside the city (and often within) Grady is seen as a money hemorrhaging, medicare/medicaid abusing, hospital for the poor. The Peachtree Road Race is one of the hospitals best opportunities to show exurbanites all the good it does. Remember, it is much easier to hate things you aren’t familiar with.

The papers reported this yesterday. The following e-mail was just sent out to all GSU students.
Georgia State University Faculty, Staff and Students:
Are you ready to tailgate??!! If you are, then plan to be at the Student Center Atrium tomorrow (Thursday) at 2 p.m. for the announcement regarding the future of football at Georgia State.
You don’t want to miss this one!!
Don’t know what the “You don’t want to miss this one!!” language means. Surprises possible???
This team will provide more opportunities to play near home for many talented Georgia high school athletes. Believe us, there are hordes of them.
Georgia State, soon to become our own little USF.

Well, not exactly. He is coming to the Cobb Energy Center on 10 May 2008. Is Cobb County really in Jon Stewart’s target market? In those environs being seen at a Jon Stewart show might be worse than being seen at a liquor store. The tickets look pricey according to Cable & Tweed.

Sweetwater was one of only two Southeastern bottlers to make the 2007 Brewers Association Top 50 List. New Orleans area brewer Abita came in at number 17 on the craft list. California led all states (and likely most nations) with 11 breweries on the list. Here is a look at the number of breweries in the top 50 for a few other states.
We see nothing but growth for GA and the rest of the Southeast. Further, we would love to know where Highland (Asheville, NC) and Terrapin fall on the overall list

Oh, and nothing from Florida. With a population of 18 million plus. Someone who crafted a beer that tasted just like Milwaukee’s Best Light could make a mint.

This was on SNL several weeks ago. We find all these Virginiaca skits to be hilarious. Where is the Atlanta connection? Kenan Thompson hails from Atlanta. Further, there is Chick-fil-A reference.
