City Morgue

King Tut's coming to the Civic Center. He must be starring in the new Tyler Perry play: Madea Robs a Grave.

They sure do like corpse exhibits at the Civic Center. From The Bodies to The Passion to a really dead boy king. And coming in December it's James Brown.

Now, when I die I don't want no fancy funeral, just dumb my body at 395 Piedmont. You can paint it in stripes or something if that helps.

Voting For Hope at Hope

I had planned to vote like I tend to orgasm: early. But it turns out that long line outside a government office I spent six hours waiting in last week was actually an unemployment office. Whoops.

Instead, I’ll be at my regular precinct John Hope Elementary on Tuesday. John Hope was a prominent educator born to a white father and black mother. He became the first black president of Atlanta’s Morehouse College and later of the whole Atlanta University complex. Seems like a fitting place.

It’d be like a McCain supporter getting to vote at Erratic, Negative Campaign With a Woefully Unqualified Running Mate High--formerly known as Open Campus.
