The World Around You

I have been shocked at how Alabama is quietly marching toward the primary elections for governor with the race barely making a ripple on the public conciousness. What was supposed to be a crazy free-for-all is slowly marching toward a foregone conclusion. It appears that the incumbent governor and lieutenant governor will be squaring off in the general election in the fall. I don’t see anything on the horizon that would prevent Bob Riley and Lucy Baxley from representing their respective parties in November. Color me amazed.

The University of Alabama booster who got the school in a whole heap of trouble with the NCAA was apparently found murdered today. Alabama really is something else, especially when it comes to football.

I certainly don’t think teachers should be bringing their politics in the classroom, but give me a break. How many Alabama teachers talk about how wonderful the President is every day? I would like to know what the so-called “vulgar” word was. If it’s about a teacher showing something vulgar, let’s talk about that, not about whether it said something that is perceived as negative about the president.
