DEL.ICIO.USBlogwatch: Dear God in heaven, what hath the Internet wrought?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On peachpundit.com today, two bloggers separately announce that they’re considering a run at public office. Must be a virus in the hyperlinks.
Says Erick Erickson, sponsor of Republican-oriented peachpundit:
“After a week of deciding not to run for City Council in Macon, I have decided I will be running for Ward V, Post 3 in Macon. The caveat is that my employer needs to sign off it. If they do, I’m in.”
Then there’s Andre Walker, a Democrat who maintains Georgia Politics Unfiltered:
“Well, I’d be lying to you if I sat here and said that I haven’t given any thought whatsoever to running for a seat on the new South Fulton City Council if the referendum passes next month.”
He’s not technically a blogger, but Creative Loafing says WSB radio consumer guru Clark Howard has confirmed he’s giving serious thought to a run for mayor after Shirley Franklin is through with the job.

Now this is news to get excited about -a mayoral candidate who is honest, a military veteran and a certified “cheapskate!”
Run Clark run and we’ll provide you the biggest broom we can find for you to sweep the trash from our city!

Let’s Pray
Andre Walker needs prayer and a moment of silence. Currently unemployed, he takes out his anger on the political active. Andre Walker while he is witty lacks true charisma and attractiveness to become a political candidate.
Due to his lacking attributes, Andre Walker has turned to blogging to deal with his ever growing ego. Instead of walking the pavement looking for work, Andre Walker spends his days hurting others. Blogging is not about venting; it is about expressing your views without hurting others.
Let this be a lesson to Andre Walker and those like him to be very careful with your language because what you say can come back and haunt you.
