If you've ever driven past Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed's home inside the once prestigious Guilford Forest subdivision, you can't miss the lone Atlanta PD patrol unit guarding the house 24/7.
But the constant presence of Atlanta's finest didn't stop a violent home invasion from occurring just steps away from the mayor's front door.

Rap mogul Jay Wayne Jenkins, aka Jeezy, celebrated his daughter's 1st birthday with African-themed royal affair straight out of Coming To America, complete with rose petals and tribal dancers and drummers. Jeezy spared no expense on his daughter's birthday bash. He flew family and friends in from Africa and around the country and put them up in first class hotels.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, 44, and girlfriend Sarah-Elizabeth Langford, 33, are engaged and expecting a baby, the Atlanta Journal-Constituion reports.
The AJC.com reports that Langford is the daughter of Atlanta attorney Susan Pease Langford and the late state Sen. Arthur Langford.
I would love to see Lipstick Alley's attorney bills. The gossip forum owners are constantly being sued for slander. It seems that Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed is the latest victim of LSA's resident gossipmongers, who are spilling his most personal intimate bedroom secrets.
Mr. Reed is not a married man -- which means he can sleep around with whomever he wants to. But there is a line that even he will not allow others to cross.
Mr. Reed sent his legal goons after the website, which was initially shut down. But LSA found another host to quickly reinstate their Internet presence. Now Reed's lawyers are going after that new host. The only problem is the law is on LSA's side in regards to the forum users' Constitutional rights to free speech -- even if that speech is hateful gossip.
Mr. Reed should be applauded for being a black man with a healthy sexual appetite for women, rather than for other men. I mean, this is Atlanta.
