] My arrival in Atlanta lacked appropriate fanfare. No
] winsome blond belle greeted my plane, delicately boned
] hand upturned and cupping a gently ripened peach. I
] noticed the distinct absence of a military band playing a
] rousing rendition of "Dixie" in time with my heavy
] footfalls. Nowhere in sight was a swarthy limo driver in
] a fedora clutching a sign to his chest scrawled with my
] name. In fact, there was nothing at all to indicate that
] Atlanta was even remotely aware of my arrival. This was
] disappointing, as it's not every day that the City of a
] Hundred Hills welcomes a man of my stature. Twenty-five,
] overweight, unemployed and recently "relocated" to my
] parents' house in New Jersey, I am truly a man in full.
] Rather, I am a man fully in need of a job, which is why I
] was in Atlanta. Many moons had passed since I last set

] Considering that the lifestyle of most people I know in

] Palestinian stone throwers disclosed for the first time

] Grant Goodman wanted to do his part to reduce U.S.
] dependence on foreign oil. So two years ago, the Phoenix
] concrete producer began using biodiesel--made from

] Iraq, doing whatever else we're doing in the Middle East.
] It all gets down to continuing the flow of oil to this
] country."
