Danny and I have been talking about putting together a survey of the site’s readers.  If you have some questions you’d like included, just send them to me by the end of the month.  We’ll try to lunch just in time for taxes.

    So much to pick from…

    Albertville hiring an attorney to address immigration issues

    any candidate’s ad featuring a pristine hunting cap

    the total shock that some have when the majority uses the rules to advantage

    the total shock some have when the party in opposition actually opposes

    The increasing number of legislator controlled grant making bodies

    Cleburne County wanting to finance roads by increasing court costs

  • You misspelled Mazza. Its Massa. You forgot to mention the craziness surrounding the wet/dry issue in Hanceville. There were people actually standing in the streets in Hanceville last week with signs that said the church bells would stop ringing if the wet side won last week. It just goes to show the political arena in Alabama is never a dull place.

  • The campaign season is just getting started so we certainly will get even more craziness before November. Here’s to hoping we uncover video of Troy King backstage at a Kenny Chesney and Ty Herndon concert acting like…..well you know and just maybe we will be blessed with the announcement that Lowell and Charles will wrestle each other for charity, in a loser AND winner leaves town match.

Legislative Dispatch

A Look from the Rearview Mirror

This Thursday will mark the last day of the legislative Session.  For some, it was a Session that seemed would never end.  For others, it was one that ended much too quickly.  It may be early, yet, to write an obit on this Session, but as we approach the finish line, some perspective may be in order.

Like me, many House members have been inundated with phone calls and emails from opponents of this bill, and some have been [...]
