For broadcast insiders....funny moment on the Hume show...Brit's teleprompter went out...he looked at one camera, then the other, then down and had to reach for the reading glasses in his suit pocket...........cut to commercial.........

I'm not sure they peaked too early, but the over confidence of the D's and the MSM may hurt them....imagine you're a Democrat who is a mom with kids to pick up and deliver three places, a buiness traveler trying to catch a flight, or a small business owner... 

All you've heard all fall is brief bits about how the D's are assured of control of the House and most probably the Senate..if you haven't paid attention in this last 48 hours, you might decide that your party is in good shape and your vote is just not needed......

He just said that Ford will lose in Tennessee because people lie to pollsters..mentioned Ford, Bradley in Cal and Wilder in Virginia.... What about Michael Steele in Maryland...Bill Lucas in Michigan.....Ken Blackwell in Ohio?

I have long lamented the lack of a great, or even a good, burger in this town.

There were always pretty good bar burgers, The Highland Tap (best bar in Atlanta) has a good "bar burger" meaning a bit too large, expensive, and you couldn't really get it to go.

I tried everywhere..there was great one at the second location of that infamous redneck joint up on Marietta Highway..the second location was in Buckhead in the early 90's...a country type bar...across from Otto's...it ended up becoming an English pub at some point...lasted a couple of years.

Folks sent me to Mr. C's on Howell Mill when I lived over there...OK, not great.

That little joint next to Moe's and Joe's in the Highland's when I lived over there...OK, not great.

The Vortex...most overrated burger in the universe...usually dry, poor meat quality, stale bun...what a joke...I was embarassed to take anyone there and claim it was any good.  And the folks at Creative Loafing should be shot for giving out them the "Best Burger" award.

But we have been delivered...FIVE GUYS has come to Atlanta.  The original FIVE GUYS is on Columbia Pike in Arlington, Virginia.  Storefront location, burgers and fries only..no tables...free peanuts to eat while you wait.....

Sign over the grill told which small town in usually Maryland or Delaware that day's potatoes came from....dear Lord, it was heavenly...we used to go on Saturday after a Georgetown or Capital Hill Friday night, and miss it on Sunday when it was closed.

The burgers...real high quality hand made double patties....American cheese only (as it should be...it's an AMERICAN food) melted into the meat.  Choice of a million different toppings...try it with A-1!

It's here now...couple of locations in Atlanta...franchised by former Redskins kicker Mark Mosely from the Gibbs Super Bowl years...closest to my house is in the new Lindberg development in front of the MARTA station.  I've been four times in the last two weeks.  Get the cajun fries..they're just the regular hand cut with the skins on with cajun spices sprinkled on.

Oh, and it's better when you get it to go.  They wrap them up tight and the super fresh bun gets a chance to absorb just enough grease to make it nice and sloppy......

I'll be there Wednesday for lunch after a long election night..............

To find one close to you........FIVE GUYS

From: University of Chicago student paper The Maroon via Instapundit: HMM. IF THE DEMOCRATS WIN BACK CONGRESS, will it be because they dropped gun control as an issue?

Election season is indeed in full bloom. Yet I can't help but notice that something is conspicuously absent from this year's festivities: Charlton Heston.

It is almost impossible to fathom, but it seems that gun control has seen its last days as a big-ticket issue for elections. This is in no way to suggest that the issue has fallen out of favor with the Republicans' largely gun-toting constituency. It merely reflects the fact that the Democrats have moved on to issues that actually mean something.

Well, Bill Clinton has said that gun control cost the Democrats control of Congress back in 1994, so it might make sense that getting away from the issue might help them get it back.

Had noticed this, but it is true....
