    Textile plant closings? But I saw the ad on TV this morning, saying vote YES on the Amendments to keep Alabama’s economy THE STRONGEST!

TRYIN’ TO CATCH UP

By Natalie Davis on June 1, 2010

I’ve been in Venice on a little vacation and just returned last night.  I’ve been trying to catch up and see that there have been few dramatic events in the last 10 days.  I thought the www.fivethirtyeight.com piece was especially good, though the comments reflected the anti-Alabama knee-jerk reactions of those who live outside the [...]
