From the state that gave us George Wallace

Things stink in the state of Alabama, and at its core are a power-mad Republican governor, a complicit newspaper chain, and a serious connection to Karl Rove and George Bush.

Maybe it's the proving grounds for how to twist an election so that the results always favor the Republican party. If so, Barack Obama and/or Hillary Clinton better watch out.

Another Republican we ought to be scraping off the soles of our shoes

Someone important once wrote "the truth will out," but I have my doubts.

Still, it's encouraging to see a newpaper editor doing the kind of job he ought to be doing. Seems like Alabama Governor Bob Riley, who by some reports stole his election with the help of Karl Rove, has now been discovered dipping into the corporate pocketbook and not reporting it. It's Riley, and his associates that put his gubenatorial challenger in jail.
