LocalTint covers politics from Hoover, Alabama, a suburb of Birmingham. Here's a recent post regarding WorldComs' Bernard Ebbers' conviction and how it relates to our own local boy, Richard Scrushy:
Ah, but did Ebbers buy a local TV station and air manipulative pro-Ebbers propaganda? Did he play the God card (in a town already vulnerable to religious manipulation) and go from a suburban whitebread to urban black church in order to pose as a millionaire oppressed and victimized by the feds? And did he, most egregiously, by proxy play the race card? Didn't think so.
Libertyflash is "committed to restoring each of the rights of all Alabamians." A recent example:
Independent Alabama has ten election reform bills being considering by the Alabama legislature. We call the package the “Make Every Vote Count” Act. To read the overviews and the text of the bill, please download this Word Document.
As part of this legislative effort, we have created our first television commercial. The theme of the advertisement is a group of people who ordered pizza. When the deliveryman arrives, he gives them pepperoni pizza. There is a problem, though. They didn’t order pepperoni.
The World Around You is produced by the duo of Kristopher and Susan. Susan lives in Hoover as well while Kristopher hails from Prattville (which is closer to the heart of the beast: Montgomery). A recent post regarding Alabama's penal problems:
The steady drumbeat is being heard on the altering of sentencing standards. Alabamians are beginning to understand that we cannot keep taxes low and lock everyone up for non-violent drug offenses.
There have to be reductions in the sentences for non-violent crime and alternative sentencing programs need to be made available for those with drug addiction. We also need to put more resources into preventing drug abuse on the front end, as I have said many, many times before.
Go and take a gander at some of the local talent we have in Alabama. We won't give this state over!

Heya Susan! Thanks for dropping by. I've read Warliberal a few times and will definitely do a write-up and link on it soon. I haven't yet checked into Red State Diaries yet - thanks for the heads up.
And I'm not sure what's up with this hiddenfish comment. I'd call it spam, but it's pretty original. For now, I'll call it art and see were it goes.
