 Posted by Danny, on March 10th, 2010, at 7:57 am The Senate Sketches of Sen. Hank Sanders (D – Selma) are now available at the Political Parlor in a new-easier-to-navigate format. Whether you read it because you believe, like the Birmingham News once said, that the column “often provides rare, behind-the-scenes looks at why things happen as they do at the [...] Posted by Danny, on February 23rd, 2010, at 2:11 pmThose who visited the site yesterday morning may have seen that we were having a problem somewhat similar (though not exactly the same) to the one we had last fall, and that eventually led us into a whole new look for the Parlor. For the techies out there, MySQL usage was unacceptably [...] Posted by Danny, on February 3rd, 2010, at 2:07 pm Readers rarely call to leave a message through the contact page, but when it happens, it can be for something good. Today someone called the site and left a message, but I am sorry to say that I am unable to retrieve the voicemail because of a glitch. I am very frustrated [...] Posted by waltm, on February 1st, 2010, at 2:32 pmThe plan is also to add these to the Alabama Senate and House lists also. You will notice some of the links don’t work mainly because those reports weren’t available this AM. This will be fixed as time, coffee supply, and cat and dog permit. 2/2/10 – Finished adding links to Alabama Senate list, still to [...] Posted by Danny, on December 18th, 2009, at 10:38 am We seem to be snakebit around here in recent months. This morning, we were down a few hours because of a “bandwidth limit exceeded” issue though my understanding was we had unlimited bandwidth available to us. That issue has been handled in that as far as I know we do now have unlimited [...] Posted by Danny, on November 30th, 2009, at 4:44 pm We’ve had more than the usual number of distractions around the Parlor lately, including the holidays and working to get the Parlor back into shape after our ‘net storm. I’ll be sifting through some email and notes to find post topics that didn’t get posted, seeing what still passes the sniff test for freshness [...] Posted by Danny, on November 30th, 2009, at 7:25 am There are still some rough edges to be sanded down, and the tweaking will no doubt be an ongoing effort, but we have a new look for the site that brings us closer to completing the transition from the old look (that we trashed rather unexpectedly) to the new. Some may love this, [...] Posted by Danny, on November 27th, 2009, at 8:07 am I expect that next week you will see a new look for the Parlor. The painters are putting on the second coats, and movers will position the big pieces once the dropcloths are removed. Tweaking the smaller pieces and other design elements will be a longer process. We will have some news bits to [...] Posted by Danny, on November 16th, 2009, at 1:22 pm Don’t miss Natalie Davis considering the lay of the land after the recent national elections, and she looks ahead to the Birmingham mayor’s race. She managed to wiggle the post on to the site at the end of the week before the site got completely uncooperative, and I didn’t want you to overlook it. In [...] Posted by Danny, on November 16th, 2009, at 12:53 pm I should have known when I got this warning sign last week that we were in for some trouble. I put a note of explanation here (and linked for now up top to the text “Update Nov 2009″) that the site is definitely in flux while we work out what the next rendition looks like. [...] Posted by Danny, on November 13th, 2009, at 5:58 pm I poked H into a Friday afternoon post of the Daily Headlines (in the previous post), partly to make sure that aspect of the blog worked right. I’m not sure how much I like this minimalist look. Posted by Danny, on November 13th, 2009, at 5:49 pmWe’ve had some real problems, and maybe some time some of those details are worth telling, but the fun part is that we now should be good to go. A lot is in flux here. This look will evolve into something else. There was some heavy customization in the old site that has not [...] Posted by Danny, on November 11th, 2009, at 11:43 amLots going on… e.g., health care reform in Washington, 2010 races heating up, and we have the added distraction of some site issues that took us down for a bit this morning. We are back, and we’ll get the problem worked out. Refunds for the downtime and inconvenience are available at the cashier’s [...] Posted by Danny, on November 6th, 2009, at 12:33 pm A couple of times now something has gone awry at the site that has caused it to eat up resources to the point that the host company had to suspend the site so as not to bring the whole server down. I blame tea partiers, the 1901 state Constitution, Mississippi’s casinos, Paragon Source, and the health [...] Posted by Danny, on October 30th, 2009, at 9:37 am Rep. Cam Ward has taken time “to survey the wreckage across the political landscape” in the aftermath of Larry Langford’s conviction, here in the Parlor’s Legislative Dispatch. I’m always glad when Chauncey Sparks stops in as he did yesterday. Look for another post from him this morning. I hope you are not [...] |

Hinton, on Monday, announced what many had suspected — he will not seek re-election. I remember meeting Hinton for the first time while I was a student at Auburn University. He served the people of his [...] Ten Minutes in the House, Senate Moves On Here is a quick preview of the upcoming week in Montgomery. This week will be a standard legislative schedule for the House. We will be in session on Tuesday and Thursday with committee meetings scheduled for Wednesday. Back in the Day...

The Alabama Line is being updated and will return perhaps as soon as the first week of February. The Alabama Line and its contents are the creation of Doc’s Political Parlor, reflect consensus from insiders and well-connected folks on both sides of the aisle, and will be updated as conditions change. These odds are meant to inform, entertain, and provoke, not to serve as actual means for losing money. Permission granted to use this material if PoliticalParlor.net is cited as the source. |
