It's a good thing that the Guardian Guy is in Mississippi now, so that anti-Alabama stories can get back into the Atlanta Journal-Constitution where they belong.

The "Heart of Dixie" slogan on the car tags changes every time, it seems. The one on the new tags is very small, about the size of a thumbprint, and printed white-on-red. It's illegible from a car, or really more than about three feet away.

I, personally, have no problem with the "Heart of Dixie" slogan, but then I'm white. I'm mostly upset that they rejected my favorite car tag slogan, "Alabama: First in the Alphabet".
